Liverpool's hunt for a central midfielder looks like it may come without a good ending for fans, with the transfer deadline window closing in just over 24 hours and no deal seemingly close.
Jurgen Klopp has already confirmed Liverpool made an attempt to sign a midfielder earlier this year before seeing the transfer target join another club. This is believed to be a reference to Aurelien Tchouameni, who joined Real Madrid from Monaco for a large sum earlier this summer.
And the Reds' interest in Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham is also no secret, but the German side are hoping to keep hold of the teenage midfielder.
