Liverpool face their most important summer of transfer business in recent years as Jurgen Klopp eyes a midfield overhaul.
The departures of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have left the Reds light on options in the engine room at Anfield. However, the exits mean that Liverpool now have the chance to embark on a transformation of their playing staff and they could confirm the first summer arrival in the coming days.
Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister is the main name in the frame to join the club, with other targets such as Manuel Ugarte and Mason Mount looking likely to move elsewhere amid the Reds' failure to qualify for the Champions League. However, there could also be preparations for further departures, with Thiago's future unclear as he enters the final year of his contract.
