Liverpool are aiming to bring in another two midfielders this summer even after they sign Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton.
The Reds are closing in on a deal for the Argentine playmaker and it only seems a matter of time before he arrives on Merseyside. He will become the club’s first signing of what is expected to be an extremely busy summer for new sporting director Jorg Schmadtke.
Liverpool are not resting on their laurels though, with the next stage of their rebuild already in the planning. With the likes of James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and Arthur Melo all leaving this summer, the Reds needed desperate investment in midfield.
