Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool transfer decision made easier as three targets whittled down

Liverpool's summer transfer targets are set to come into focus, with their midfield overhaul showing signs of entering its final stages following recent developments.

Jurgen Klopp is expected to continue investment in his midfield, with the signing of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton having got the Reds off to a great start in the summer window. And now the path to his next signing has become clearer as his shortlist continues to whittle down.

Khephren Thuram and Nicolo Barella have both been named as Liverpool targets, with the departures of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain creating space in midfield to be filled. However, Barella is expected to command a fee in the region of roughly £68m, a hefty outlay for a club who will be without Champions League football next season.
