Liverpool are trying to sign a midfielder in the last days of the transfer window. It’s a difficult task considering the quality of the Reds’ side and that clubs are tempted to fleece Liverpool, knowing about their injury problems......READ THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
So here are all midfielders who have recently been linked with a move to Anfield. We’ve also rated the probability of a move happening on a scale from 1 to 10.
Toni Kroos: 1/10. Reported by Spanish source Fichajes, this doesn’t look likely at all. Kroos is a fantastic player but he’s definitely not the type Klopp is looking for. Additionally, he’s happy at Madrid.
Frenkie de Jong: 1/10. The Dutchman seems very committed to Barcelona so a move looks extremely unlikely at this point. Would have been a dream come true though, he looks like a perfect fit for Klopp.
Nicolo Barella: 1/10. Consistently linked with a move to Liverpool, the Italian does not seem interested in an Anfield switch.
Ruben Neves: 2/10. Wolves don’t want to sell the Portugal international but rumours about Liverpool’s interest in him keep popping up.
Moises Caicedo: 3/10. The Brighton youngster looks like what the doctor ordered for Liverpool but it’s unclear if the Seagulls are open to him leaving.
Sander Berge: 3/10. The Yorkshire Post and the Daily Mail have reported on Liverpool’s interest in the Norwegian. We’re not sure if he’s good enough for the Reds but he looks like a viable option this late in the window.
Matt O’Riley: 4/10. The Celtic man seems available for transfer but we’re not sure he’d be an upgrade on Liverpool’s current options such as Curtis Jones and James Milner.
Youri Tielemans: 4/10. Linked with a move to Liverpool by reliable Melissa Reddy, it’s still uncertain Leicester would let one of their best players leave.
Konrad Laimer: 5/10. The Austrian’s contract with Leipzig expires in 2023 so this window is one last chance for the Bundesliga side to sell him for a fee. The asking price is said to be £25m. He’s looking like the most likely option at the moment, but it doesn’t mean Liverpool will definitely sign him.
There is every chance that the Reds won’t bring a midfielder at all, or pull a rabbit out of the hat and sign someone who hasn’t been linked with them at all.
