The summer transfer window saw Liverpool linked with a number of midfielders.
The Reds were keen on Aurelien Tchouameni and Jude Bellingham - the former choosing Real Madrid while the latter remained at Borussia Dortmund - before bringing in Arthur Melo come deadline day. The Brazilian arrived from Juventus on a season-long loan with an option to buy for €37.5million come next summer, should Jurgen Klopp desire.
Liverpool were also linked - albeit fleetingly - with Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz, but it was another, lesser-known Brazilian that caught attention by admitting ‘Liverpool are a team I’d play for,’ during an interview. The 21-year-old Joao Gomes is reportedly on the radar of Klopp’s scouting team, and has been linked with a move to Europe despite recently signing a long-term deal with current club Flamengo.
