Liverpool's £80m move about to pay off as next targets emerge after Alexis Mac Allister

In both a literal and figurative sense, Liverpool's summer rebuild is starting to take real shape.

After a season of underperformance that resulted in the lowest finish of any of Klopp's seven full terms as manager in fifth, much of the discourse in recent weeks and months has been of a Reds squad in need of a restructuring, particularly in the midfield ranks where James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have now departed as free agents and Arhur Melo has returned to Juventus.
