Liverpool are in need of a midfield overhaul. While the Reds currently boast 10 senior options, four of them aren’t contracted beyond the end of the season, with Jurgen Klopp’s quota ultimately a mixture of ageing stars, injury-prone players, expiring contracts, and raw youngsters.
Having revamped their attack over the past 12 months, club bosses have long planned to overhaul Liverpool’s midfield in 2023. Whether such surgery is able to get underway in January, however, remains to be seen.
The Reds have already signed one player this month in forward Cody Gakpo, bringing the Dutchman in for an initial £37m from PSV Eindhoven with both Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota currently long-term absentees. However, following confirmation of the deal, Klopp confessed that it could impact on any future Reds business in January and that he didn’t expect to “splash the cash” in this month’s transfer window.
