Liverpool Weigh Up Midfield Targets
Liverpool are currently weighing up a host of midfield targets this summer, but they won’t simply bring in bodies to “fill gaps” as funds are a big factor. Khephren Thuram and Mane Kone are chief among those being considered, but there is no “definitive shortlist” yet.
No Rush From Club’s Perspective
There is no rush from the club’s perspective and there is a sense “things might drag on” due to the summer’s international schedule. Whether Liverpool sign one or two more midfielders this summer will be heavily influenced by the cost of the deals available.
In-House Options
The club’s stance isn’t that they must sign two more regardless in order to fill gaps, and they are looking to in-house options such as Stefan Bajcetic, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton. Mason Mount is no longer an option, and the club have “dismissed” claims of personal terms already being agreed with Thuram.
Positive Discussions With Bayern Munich
Jorg Schmadtke, head of recruitment Dave Fallows and chief scout Barry Hunter have been involved in discussions with clubs and agents across Europe. Positive discussions have been held with Bayern Munich youngster Ryan Gravenberch, but where Liverpool turn next is currently unclear as they continue to weigh up their options.
