Liverpool failed to land Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi, but are still continuously searching for a defensive midfielder There has been a lot of speculation in the media, with rumours linking the club with various types of midfielders.
One such player, Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders of AC Milan, is seen as a target According to Milan Live, Liverpool are plotting a surprise deal and are preparing to offer Italy international Federico Chiesa.
He has secured a starting place at the Giuseppe Meazza this season, and was a major contributor to the Champions League success of defeating Real Madrid, and in hostile conditions, scoring one goal in the game.
A versatile midfielder who can play both offensively and defensively, he fits Arne Slot’s requirements.
He also has the ability to dribble the ball forward on his own, so it is perhaps unsurprising that Liverpool would be interested, as he is under contract until June 2028 and the transfer fee is not cheap, so they would want to include the 27-year-old winger as a condition of exchange.
However, this would be realistically unlikely. He hasn’t spent six months in the Premier League yet and, due to injuries, he hasn’t had many opportunities to try him out in games.
It is too early to give up on the Italian winger and if we let him go, we would also have to get a replacement, which would make our reinforcement policy too blurred.
The possibility of trying to acquire Tijjani Reijnders cannot be ruled out, but it is unlikely to include Chiesa there. So will Liverpool bring a new Dutchman to Anfield.
