If you believe the transfer speculation, it hasn’t been a good week for Liverpool as they continue to plot a midfield revamp this summer.
Set to miss out on Champions League qualification after a difficult season, the Reds have ultimately found themselves navigating a transitional campaign with an ageing squad. Having overhauled their attack over the past 18 months, their engine-room was always going to be club bosses’ next priority.
With Thiago Alcantara the last senior midfielder to arrive at Anfield, back in September 2021, it has been widely agreed that Liverpool’s decision not to strengthen their engine-room last summer was the wrong one. And with James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all departing the club at the end of their contracts this summer, the club’s need for new bodies is now even more obvious.
