Liverpool are being linked with two players from Athletic Bilbao and one from Borussia Monchengladbach, according to reports in Spain.
The Reds signed Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven during the January transfer window but they are expected to be busier in the summer as Jurgen Klopp looks to overhaul a squad that has badly under-performed so far this season.
Liverpool are currently 10th in the Premier League, following Saturday's dismal 3-0 defeat at Wolves, and are out of both domestic cups. While they remain in the Champions League, it is anticipated that the Reds, who last season went close to winning an unprecedented quadruple, will need to rebuild once the 2022-23 campaign comes to and end.

And to that end, AS are claiming that the six-time European Cup winners, along with Premier League rivals Aston Villa, are set to 'test' Athletic Bilbao's resolve over two of their star names, Nico Williams and Oihan Sancet.
The Spanish outlet claim that Bilbao will demand that the full £45m release clause for Williams, the 20-year-old winger who has scored six goals in 25 appearances this season either side of the World Cup, in full. The Spain international's contract runs out in 2024.
Sancet, meanwhile, also has just 18 months remaining on his deal. The 22-year-old midfielder is currently rated at £18m by Transfermarkt. But given his performances in the current campaign - the Spain Under-21 international has scored seven goals in 20 La Liga appearances, including a hat-trick in a 4-1 home win over Cadiz on Friday - then the fee Bilbao would want for him is expected to be much higher.
The report also states that the Basque outfit remain confident that new contracts can be agreed with both Sancet and Williams, although the Premier League is seen as a big draw.
Meanwhile, AS are also reporting that Liverpool are keen to sign Monchengladbach forward Marcus Thuram on a free transfer.
The 25-year-old - son of Juventus legend Lillian and older brother of Lille midfielder Khephren - is set to become a free agent in the summer once his contract expires.
And, according to AS, Reds boss Klopp views the nine-cap France international as a potential summer signing. However, the likes of Arsenal, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with a move for Thuram, who has scored 13 goals in 20 appearances for Monchengladbach this season.
