Having taken the decision to walk away from a blockbuster deal for Jude Bellingham in favour of spreading their transfer budget this summer, Liverpool have inevitably been linked to a raft of other players of late.
Even at the quietest of times with regards to player trading speculation, the Reds are always named with moves for a vast array a players from across the continent and beyond. So when a major midfield restructuring is needed, Jurgen Klopp is being increasingly frank about the need to spend, and interest in the £130m-rated Bellingham has cooled in favour of bringing in more numbers, it is no surprise to see Liverpool in the gossip columns more than ever.
Chelsea duo Conor Gallagher and Mason Mount are of interest alongside the Brighton pair of Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister. Wolves Matheus Nunes has his admirers, while speculation over Bayern Munich's Ryan Gravenberch has intensified in recent days.
