Liverpool are in the market for midfielders this summer and Fabrizio Romano has provided the latest information when it comes to their transfer targets.
The Reds have had an excellent start to their summer transfer business with the capture of Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister.
Jurgen Klopp’s side ended up paying a mere £35m for his services in the end. This means that Liverpool will have more funds to use on another midfielder
Liverpool’s midfielders didn’t chip in with many goal contributions last season and Klopp is keen to rectify that next season.
The club also want to sign a more defensive-minded midfielder, but adding another attacking midfielder does also interest Klopp.
Borussia Monchengladbach’s Manu Kone and Nice’s Khephren Thuram are top targets for Liverpool in the more defensive role.
However, Celta Vigo’s Gabri Veiga is also a player they are interested in. Fabrizio Romano has clarified the latest details of their midfield hunt.
“I think that they are completely different players,” Romano told CaughtOffside when discussing Veiga as an alternative to Thuram.
“Liverpool have a list of different players: Manu Kone, Thuram and Gabri Veiga. I think based on the fee and the opportunities that they will find in the market, they will decide what kind of opportunity they will attack.
“So at the moment, it is not something decided. Thuram remains in conversations with Liverpool, same for Manu Kone and his agents who are having conversations and exchanges with Liverpool. Gabri Veiga is appreciated, they are tracking him; so this is the situation at the moment, nothing else.”
Liverpool need a good window
There’s no doubt that Liverpool fell below expectations this season as they missed out on the top four.
Veiga would be an exciting addition for Liverpool without doubt. In La Liga this season, the 21-year-old scored 11 goals and provided four assists.
