England midfielder Declan Rice could end up being the "forbidden dream" that got away for Jurgen Klopp.
Having side-stepped a swoop for Real Madrid-bound Jude Bellingham this summer, due to the high costs involved, Liverpool instead opted to spread out their transfer budget on several midfielders. Argentina playmaker Alexis Mac Allister is already through the door, while speculation builds as to who might be next.
Mason Mount, James Ward-Prowse, Nicolo Barella, Ryan Gravenberch are among countless names who have been linked with a follow-up move to Anfield. Klopp, though, seemingly had his eye on someone else.
