Liverpool continue to be linked with a move for RB Leipzig's Konrad Laimer weeks after the transfer window slammed shut.
The Reds added to their midfield ranks on deadline day with the addition of Arthur Melo on loan from Juventus. Initially, it was understood the club would look to bolster the position next summer, but a number of injuries forced Jurgen Klopp's hand.
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool's new addition is a long-term solution, but with three of the squad's current midfield out of contract next summer, there will certainly be new faces in 2023 as there remains an undoubted need for a refresh. While Jude Bellingham has been heavily linked as the reported number-one target, there is no guarantees he will join with the rest of Europe's top clubs also eyeing a move for the England international.
