Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Bruno Lage has admitted a 'big club' could attempt to prise Ruben Neves away this summer.
The middle of the park is an area of the pitch the Reds are currently strong in, with Fabinho, captain Jordan Henderson and Thiago among not just some of the best in the Premier League but the world in their positions. And being able to call upon Naby Keita alongside up and comers Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott means Jurgen Klopp has a plethora of options to choose from.

Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing the Portuguese star while Liverpool have also been linked.
And Lage claims he is unsure of where the future lies for the 25-year-old.
He said: "For sure, he will receive a proposal from us but the way he plays I can see other teams are looking for him also.
“You never know what can happen. There could be a big team with a big offer and we would need to analyse what is better for us and for the player.
“What is important to say is that it’s very hard to find a player like him. We used to call it a defensive midfielder but it’s now a central midfielder, a guy who can defend and can attack. He can do both things. He can score goals and do assists. It’s very hard to find.
“From my side, he knows my opinion – I want the best for his career. If he prefers to remain with us, for sure we will be happy and stronger. But this is football and you never know.”
Liverpool could move top of the Premier League on Saturday when they welcome Watford to Anfield in the early kick-off. Man City currently hold the top-spot and visit Burnley at 3pm.
