With their midfield in need of a sizeable overhaul, Liverpool may need to be creative in the next two transfer windows. Kopites will differ on exactly how many players the Reds need for the centre of the team, but ‘several’ is certainly a reasonable shout at this point.
Acquiring the players required will not be cheap, and there does not look likely to be a sale in the Philippe Coutinho financial bracket to help either. As such, no deal should be immediately ruled out.
Calciomercato have claimed Liverpool might offer Kostas Tsimikas to Juventus in exchange for French midfielder Adrien Rabiot, who is out of contract at the end of this season. The Reds’ Greek left-back has proven himself to be a worthy understudy to Andy Robertson, but he is not so important as to make an exit unthinkable.
