In addition to centre-backs, Liverpool are also looking to secure new attackers, with PSV Eindhoven winger Johan Bakayoko and RB Leipzig midfielder Dani Olmo among the players who can contribute with a goal or assist up front.
Leeds United forward Crysencio Summerville, who has spent this season in the Championship and has Premier League experience, is also among the frontrunners. In addition, there is also rumoured interest in up-and-coming 18-year-old midfielder Archie Gray, who is not a forward but is also a member of the same dark w division.
According to the Daily Mail, Leeds, who will remain in the Championship next season after losing the play-offs for promotion to the Premier League, will need as much as £100 million to make up the loss and are unlikely to release any of their key players.
Up to ten key players are also expected to leave, which will be a major blow for the club as they aim to return to winning ways next season. And it has been suggested that Summerville and Gray, who are also targeted by Liverpool, could also be for sale.
Aside from them, the club also has players who have played in England’s top flight, such as Patrick Bamford, Wilfried Gnonto, Pascal Struijk and Daniel James, who may be subject to a clear sale in this summer’s transfer market.
Liverpool have many experienced attackers as left wingers, including Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota, so a left winger who can cut in from the opposite side should be a top priority position.
However, with the departure of Colombian winger and Darwin Nunez reported by many media outlets, the possibility of the young Dutch winger being given the nod cannot be ruled out.
Will Liverpool be able to land a promising player from Leeds United, who will need to make some redundancies…?
