Liverpool implemented a major overhaul of its midfielders during last summer’s transfer window.
While many of the mainstays of last season’s squad have departed, they have already been entrusted with the mainstays of the team with the acquisitions of Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, and Ryan Gravenberch.
Liverpool’s midfield strengthening appears to have come to an end, but there are rumors of interest in an attacking midfielder for next season, when Jurgen Klopp will be replaced by a new manager.
German midfielder Florian Wirtz is among the targets, but the Ukrainian is also being eyed.
According to TeamTalk, Liverpool are close to acquiring Shakhtar Donetsk’s Ukrainian midfielder Georgiy Sudakov in a fierce battle with several clubs.
Besides the Reds, other top clubs such as Juventus, Napoli, Manchester City, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich have all shown interest, and the young midfielder is recognized as one of the most exciting young midfielders in Europe.
He has been a regular in the national league as well as the Champions League and Europa League this season. He has played more than 90 games for the first team and continues to create chances with his high technique and dynamic style of play.
However, the current contract has a termination clause attached to it, and the fee is a whopping 150 million euros. Depending on negotiations, it is possible that the price could be lowered, but with so many clubs after him, it should not be easy.
In any case, Liverpool’s priorities in reinforcements are right wingers and center backs. It seems unlikely that the 21-year-old midfielder will join Anfield in the future, but what will happen to the young gem…?
