The midfield situation at Liverpool has seen calls grow for Fenway Sports Group to loosen the purse strings and sanction a big money deal to aid their bid to keep pace with their rivals.
Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham has been heavily linked for some time, although the sum required to extricate him from the German side would likely be well in excess of the £100m mark. Liverpool are a team that have placed much value in their ability to navigate the transfer market with more savvy than their rivals, adding pieces to the puzzle as they go along to maintain continuity, competitiveness and more financial certainty.
This summer they spent on Darwin Nunez, a deal that could eventually reach as much as £85m. His arrival came as Liverpool readied themselves for the blow of losing the legendary Sadio Mane while adding a younger dynamic to forward line that's three key components last season were all over the age of 30.
