Perhaps they will want to go cheaper, although Bellingham would be the class act this team desperately needs to drag their level higher.<\/p>\n<p>He could also be a future Liverpool captain.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HvA2ka35S4s\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If recent developments are anything to go by, Steven Gerrard recently showered praise on the youngster whilst interviewing him on international duty.<\/p>\n<p>In conjunction to the fact that, news from within the club is that, although they might not be able to compete with the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester City an Chelsea, they have offered Bellingham the chance to be the Gerrard of the side.<\/p>\n<p>As well as cheekily offering his father and brother jobs at the club, so it would be a full sign up of BELLINGHAM\u2019S!<\/p>\n<h3>Verdict:<\/h3>\n<p>This is apparently their number one transfer target. Much will depend on whether Liverpool have the finances for the player, and if they can get Champions League football, and who Mr Bellingham chooses to sign for.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mount\">Mason Mount \u2013 Chelsea, Attacking Midfield<\/h2>\n<p>Another England star, but in contrast to Bellingham, one that has become disenchanted with life at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n<p>He is one of the lowest paid members of the squad, yet for a player of such ability, his boyhood team have made little attempt to offer him a pay rise.<\/p>\n<p>Now it looks like, according to the newspapers, Klopp\u2019s men could be about to strike.<\/p>\n<p>In a similar way to when they poached Oxlade-Chamberlain from Arsenal, although in this scenario he was purely nearing the end of his contract.<\/p>\n<p>The same can be said for Mount, meaning Chelsea either have to offer a new deal, cash in or face seeing him leave for free next summer.<\/p>\n<h3>Verdict:<\/h3>\n<p>Apparent interest from former manager Thomas Tuchel and his new employers Bayern Munich has apparently cooled, giving Liverpool a free run at the player. Although, would he leave his boyhood club? Tough to say.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"neves\">Ruben Neves \u2013 Wolves, Defensive Midfield<\/h2>\n<p>The Wanderers captain has also, like Caiciedo, established himself as one of the best in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>He leads by example and can put in some crunching tackles, as well as top passes as an assist king.<\/p>\n<p>The Portugal international put in an incredible performance, and scored, as Wolves beat Liverpool 3-0 in the league a couple of months back.<\/p>\n<p>Other clubs, such as Manchester United, will be sniffing around Neves, maybe even Barcelona with veteran Sergio Busquets due to depart.<\/p>\n<p>So, he is destined for bigger things, the question is will it be with Liverpool?<\/p>\n<h3>Verdict:<\/h3>\n<p>A fee of around \u00a350 million might be enough to net Neves, but Wolves will be desperate to keep hold of their talisman.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ward-prowse\">James Ward-Prowse \u2013 Southampton, Attacking Midfield<\/h2>\n<p>The Saints captain is a fantastic player with a nous of scoring stunning free-kicks.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool did have a habit of poaching players from the south-coast club over the years in Dejan Lovren, Adam Lallana, Sadio Mane and of course, Virgil van Dijk.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps, they felt a bit guilty and haven\u2019t approached them over players ever since.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hMWD8AKt4RU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Van Dijk was a gem and perhaps Ward-Prowse can be too.<\/p>\n<p>At 28, he might be in his prime but still has years of improvement in him and could be worth a punt<\/p>\n<h3>Verdict:<\/h3>\n<p>Worth around \u00a330 million, it\u2019s unlikely the Reds will be in for him but he would be some addition if the club\u2019s hierarchy could pull it off.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"nunes\">Matheus Nunes \u2013 Wolves, Central Midfielder<\/h2>\n<p>Another, talented player in the Premier League and one according to news reports, the Kop boss Klopp is very keen to sign.<\/p>\n<p>He has even impressed in numerous encounters this season against Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>A silky passer of the ball, good with through balls and creating goal scoring situations, he is exactly the type of midfielder the club is looking for.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tJsgwQPKeuE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>With an ageing midfield, at 24, he would bring the average age down considerably and add new energy which is desperately needed.<\/p>\n<h3>Verdict:<\/h3>\n<p>This might be one of the more likely names on the list, and it\u2019s possible he could follow in Diogo Jota\u2019s footsteps, and make the move from Molineux to Anfield.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"armabat\">Sofyan Amrabat \u2013 Fiorentina, Defensive Midfield<\/h2>\n<p>The Morocco man was colossal on his team\u2019s exciting and mesmerising run to the World Cup semi-finals at the end of last year.<\/p>\n<p>He is now a man in demand.<\/p>\n<p>It is reported that he favours a move to Atletico Madrid over Liverpool, who are said to have met with the player\u2019s representatives.<\/p>\n<p>There is also an outside chance that PSG are also interested in Amrabat.<\/p>\n<p>At 26, he is a good age and could add vital defensive steel to the Reds midfield with Henderson and Milner ageing.<\/p>\n<h3>Verdict:<\/h3>\n<p>This would be a good option, and Fiorentina may demand around \u00a325 million, but he clearly seems set on La Liga rather than playing in England.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"milinkovic-savic\">Sergej Milinkovi\u0107-Savi\u0107 \u2013 Lazio, Defensive Midfield<\/h2>\n<p>The Serbian hardman is a rock in the centre of the park.<\/p>\n<p>United have tried and failed to sign him for years, such is his commitment and loyalty to Lazio.<\/p>\n<p>He is one of the best midfielders in the world, yet still not playing for a Champions League outfit.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/heTJtwy4DGY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>A fierce tackler, Milinkovi\u0107-Savi\u0107 has the kind of bite the Liverpool midfield has missed too often this season.<\/p>\n<p>Although, the Italian side have been cash strapped for years, they do not seem desperate to sell one of their star players.<\/p>\n<h3>Verdict:<\/h3>\n<p>A fee of around \u00a355 million might be needed to prise him, but it seems unlikely the Reds will fork out the cash for a player who is 28, but it can never be ruled out.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"neuhaus\">Florian Neuhaus &#8211; Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach, Attacking Midfield<\/h2>\n<p>The Bundesliga midfielder was said to be something of a German prodigy.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, no major move to one of the top sides in Bayern or Dortmund has materialised.<\/p>\n<p>Interest has cooled from other clubs, possibly due to a lack of form.<\/p>\n<p>But maybe a new challenge at a new team and in a new league is just what Neuhaus needs.<\/p>\n<p>The German connection with Klopp could be good, and perhaps he could get the best out of the player.<\/p>\n<h3>Verdict:<\/h3>\n<p>Unlikely, but at around \u00a325 million, this would be a much cheaper option and at 26, he still has potential to improve.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"barella\">Nicol\u00f2 Barella \u2013 Inter Milan, Attacking Midfield<\/h2>\n<p>A playmaker very much on the Spurs radar, when Antonio Conte was in charge.<\/p>\n<p>The Italian\u2019s departure could be Liverpool\u2019s gain.<\/p>\n<p>Barella is a flair player and something the club has been missing since Philippe Coutinho departed back in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>And for years, a replacement has never been sought.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VgLR4wUVC3c\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>At 26, a popular age it seems for midfielders, it seems the ideal age for maturity on the field, but also to make improvements.<\/p>\n<h3>Verdict:<\/h3>\n<p>Inter will be reluctant to sell one of their star performers, and sitting in the Champions League quarter-finals, with a genuine chance of going through against Benfica, Barella may already be tempted to stick with the Inter project than going for pastures new.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"olise\">Michael Olise \u2013 Crystal Palace, Winger<\/h2>\n<p>The 21-year-old Frenchman is a talent.<\/p>\n<p>He can hit a mean free-kick, as shown get Man United this season.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst, also showing ability to execute well at set pieces.<\/p>\n<p>He would be a much cheaper proven Premier League investment than say Caicedo or Neves.<\/p>\n<p>But Liverpool may not yet be convinced and will need further proof of his potential.<\/p>\n<h3>Verdict:<\/h3>\n<p>Unlikely for this summer, but a good shout for the future.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mac-allister\">Alexis Mac Allister \u2013 Brighton, Attacking Midfield<\/h2>\n<p>The wildcard on the list, the Argentina World Cup winner has played alongside Lionel Messi, so is clearly in good company.<\/p>\n<p>But he has also impressed as Brighton have stormed into the top six of the Premier League, and are actually three points clear of Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>His value has clearly risen and Brighton won\u2019t be keen to sell.<\/p>\n<h3>Verdict:<\/h3>\n<p>An outsider, but he is some player if LFC could secure his services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This summer looks set to be extremely busy for Jurgen Klopp\u2019s team after experiencing a tough season.

My favourite players growing up were Steven Gerrard and Sami Hyypia. My most memorable match would be the UEFA Cup Final win over Deportivo Alaves that finished 5-4 to Liverpool!
