Liverpool embarked on a major revamping of its midfielders during last summer’s transfer window. The acquisitions of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have all been very successful, and have turned into indispensable players in the team’s midfield.
Liverpool did not make any moves in the winter transfer market, but they are planning a reinforcement strategy for this summer. According to Fabrizio Romano, an Italian journalist, the Reds plan to bring at least two players to Anfield.
“I see Liverpool busy with, probably, a centre-back because it’s a position where they need something,”
“In January they were offered some opportunities. They considered them but then they decided to wait for the summer transfer window to enter into the centre-back market. I think that position could be covered also based on what they will do with [Joel] Matip who is out in the summer.”
“Then I see them doing something in the offensive positions. It could be a winger or striker – we have to see what they want to do with the new manager – but I see at least two signings for Liverpool in the summer transfer window.”

Not only Joel Matip, but also Virgil van Dijk will soon be 33 years old, and it is time to start thinking about the next generation. It is inevitable that the final line, which includes Ibrahima Konate, Jarell Quansah, and Joe Gomez, will require new players.
In addition, in the attack, Egyptian international Mohamed Salah is the subject of interest from Saudi Arabia, and there is no chance that he will accept a huge offer. It would be reasonable for Liverpool to make a move this summer in order to acquire and nurture the successor to their ace.
