Liverpool wants to build a world-class midfield
Liverpool reportedly made a €100m offer for Real Madrid star Federico Valverde this summer and will try again next summer for the Uruguayan star. While Liverpool were unsuccessful in bringing Valverde to Anfield, a new midfielder was brought in before the transfer window closed this summer, however, for Klopp’s side, they are in the middle of The field needs more reinforcements.
Milner’s contract expires at the end of the season, along with Chamberlain and Naby Keita. It is unlikely that all three will stay at Liverpool next season, and it is uncertain which of the three will remain at Anfield. With that in mind, Klopp will definitely need to make a major overhaul in the midfield in the summer of 2023.
Liverpool had considered signing Chuameni from Monaco earlier this summer, with Klopp seeing him as his first choice to build a world-class midfielder. However, the 22-year-old midfielder eventually moved to Real Madrid this summer, so Liverpool had to use a backup plan. It has been reported recently that Liverpool want to sign Real Madrid star Valverde this summer. AS reported that the Spanish giants rejected an offer worth 100 million euros.
Liverpool will make a second offer for Valverde after Real Madrid rejected an offer this summer, according to Fichajes. Valverde has recorded four goals and two assists in nine games so far this season, and considering the versatile Uruguay international has grown into a key player for Real Madrid, whichever club wants to move from The Bernabeu must pay a huge price to poach him.
In addition to Valverde, Liverpool are also looking to sign Dortmund’s Bellingham, a talent Klopp has always been a big fan of. Sources from The Athletic claim that Dortmund are holding on to a €150m deal for Bellingham, a figure that could rise over the next 12 months if the England international has another impressive season. Increase.
To sign Valverde and Bellingham at the same time next summer, Liverpool will need to pay at least 250 million euros. Considering Liverpool’s previous performance in the transfer market, unless the Reds make a major change in transfer policy, they will not pay a staggering transfer fee in the same transfer window. Apart from Valverde and Bellingham, Liverpool also have other options, with Leipzig’s Leimer and Leicester’s Tielemans also among the Reds’ targets, both of whom are free to join next summer.
Picking Lemmel and Tielemans would certainly save Liverpool a lot of money to spend on a bigger deal. However, it remains to be seen whether the club will consider changing the signings plan. Regardless of Liverpool’s choice, they are facing the most crucial transfer window, and Klopp needs to inject new blood into the current squad to restore the team’s competitiveness.
