Liverpool have been told it’s a “big possibility” they could sign one of two Premier League players this summer.
The Reds continue to be linked with a host of potential new players ahead of the summer transfer window. The window is set to open next month, and Liverpool have already confirmed the signing of Fabio Carvalho from Fulham.
In the other direction, Sadio Mane continues to be linked with a move away from Anfield. Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have both been credited with an interest in the Senegalese international.

One of those players who has been linked with a move to Anfield is Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka. Another is West Ham star Jarrod Bowen.
Former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique believes that a lack of Champions League football for both of those teams means that it’s possible Liverpool could make a move to sign one of the players this summer. Arsenal will be competing in the Europa League next season, while West Ham will be in the Europa Conference League.
“We definitely need a back-up for Trent Alexander-Arnold," Enrique told Genting Bets.
"Trent will start so we need a younger player to put Trent on his toes. Max Aarons from Norwich would be a good player to have. He’s not the quality of Trent but he’s a bit like Tsimikas with a similar style.
"We need a starting number eight. Thiago Alcantara is brilliant but he has injuries every season. Keita has the same injury problems.
"Henderson is getting older so we need a number eight for sure. I don’t know too much about the Monaco midfielder, Aurelien Tchouameni, but you look at Luis Diaz and the recruitment usually gets it right.
"We also need a right winger and I think Jarrod Bowen or Bukayo Saka could be a great shout as they’re both not playing in the Champions League, so it’s a big possibility."
