Liverpool are pressing forward with plans to revamp their midfield this summer after confirming vice captain James Milner will depart the club when his contract expires.
In a quadruple announcement, it was revealed - as expected - that Milner is entering his final weeks with the Reds as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and Roberto Firmino also prepare to leave. It signals the end, or at least a change, in era at Anfield and beyond.
With that in mind, the Reds are tipped to go heavy-handed when the market reopens in their ongoing bid to strengthen up the engine room. Initial plans to target Jude Bellingham have been shelved, while Brighton star Alexis Mac Allister has emerged as a potential alternative - alongside Mason Mount, Nicolo Barella and others.
