Liverpool are said to be keen on strengthening the midfield department this summer and initially, they tried to purchase Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad.
However, the player rejected a move to Anfield in favor of remaining at his boyhood club. So, after failing to secure his signature, the Reds have started exploring alternative options.

Now, as per Spanish source, Fichajes, Liverpool have identified Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes as the top target and they have already started negotiations.
The report says the midfielder’s vision, quality and attacking ability would be perfect to play in Arne Slot’s attacking style of football so they are looking to acquire his services.
However, Newcastle won’t allow their star man to leave for cheap and want around £67.8m[€80m]. Therefore, Liverpool will have to break the bank to finalise this operation.
The Merseyside club hold a long-term interest in the Brazilian as they were even heavily linked with a move for him last summer
