Liverpool transfer news – Latest
It’s been a hectic few days in Liverpool’s hunt to bring in midfield reinforcements.
The Reds agreed a £111m Ԁєɑł to sign Brighton & Hove Albion midfielderMoises Caicedo, but just a few days later, the Ecuadorian was officially announced as a new Chelsea player.
Long-term target Romeo Lavia was anotherLiverpoolwere pushing for, but according toThe Athletic, the Belgian midfielder has chosen to join Chelsea.
With Jordan HєɴԀerson, Fabinho, James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all leaving the club, and only Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister in as replacements, Klopp and his recruitment team will need to act fast to bring in reinforcements.
Liverpool lined up with a midfielder three of Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, and Cody Gakpo at the weekєɴԀ.
Although it’s filled with plenty of attacking talent, there’s a lack of defensive solidity, that’s for sure.

What has Jones said about Liverpool?

The journalist adds that a move for Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni seems unlikely, andLiverpoolhave to get their pursuit of a new addition in the middle of the park right.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, he said:”We’re now back at the point where they’ve got to show ambition with a target. Beyond Lavia, there’s not really much you can do to sign a player of that profile.
“You can go and test Real Madrid for Aurélien Tchouameni, but you’re probably not going to get him. Beyond that, you’re looking at players like Sangare, maybe Fofana, who have mainly been linked with other clubs but are still there for the taking.
“So yeah, a very strange moment forLiverpoolbut a very important one that they have to get right.”
What’s next for Liverpool?
Liverpool will be desperate to try and get midfielders over the line before the window slams shut in September.
According toAnfield Watch, one playerLiverpoolare considering making a move for is Leicester City’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Although the 24-year-old is currently plying his τɾɑԀє in the Championship, he showed in the Premier League over the last few years that he could be a useful squad option.
As per theMailOnline, Cheick Doucoure, Sofyan Amrabat, Ryan Gravenberch, and Kalvin Phillips are among the namesLiverpoolhave taken a look at over the last few months.
At this rate,Liverpoolfɑɴȿ won’t mind who arrives thɾօυɢҺ the door as long as their midfield numbers are boosted this summer.
