Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp does not plan to rest on his laurels following the signing of Alexis Mac Allister with a £34.4m raid on Feynoord reportedly next in the works.
The Reds have acted swiftly to get their first business of the summer over the line with Mac Allister signing in an initial £35m deal. But with four players departing from Liverpool’s midfield alone at the end of the season, Klopp is planning at least two more recruits to bolster his engine roon.
Indeed, the likes of Nicolo Barella, Khephren Thuram and Kouadio Kone have all this week been linked.
Thursday’s Transfer Gossip also suggested a fresh move for long-term Klopp target, Real Madrid star Aurelien Tchouameni, was also being explored.
However, with quantity as well as quality needed at Anfield this summer, it is unlikely Klopp will go too in too big on any one signing. Indeed, it that was policy that saw Liverpool abandon their quest to sign Jude Bellingham. The teenager, who this week has agreed a €100m move to Real Madrid, was deemed too costly by Liverpool.
It was a similar story with Mason Mount, with Klopp ultimately feeling the fee for Mac Allister represents a better deal.
And now reports in the Netherlands claim a ‘serious’ approach is being made to Feyenood for captain Orkun Kokcu.
The Turkey star has enjoyed a sensational season for Arne Slot’s side. Featuring in 46 games across all competitions, the 22-year-old scored 12 times and assisted with five more goals. For a defensive midfielder, his stats are nothing short of sensational.
