Jurgen Klopp is reportedly 'waiting to bring' midfielder Federico Valverde to Liverpool with the Reds boss said to be 'obsessed' with the Real Madrid star. The Uruguayan will face competitions for minutes from new signing Aurelien Tchouameni next season.
Liverpool held an interest in Frenchman Tchouameni, but the former Monaco youngster opted to move to the Champions League winners this summer. Now the Reds could look to capitalise on Valverde potentially facing less playing time, according to Spanish outlet Nacional.
Klopp and his side have seen first hand how good Valverde can play after he assisted the winning goal in the Champions League final in May when Madrid beat Liverpool 1-0. Valverde's versatility is something that may appeal to the Liverpool boss with the 24-year-old able to play in a number of positions.
