Liverpool have tweaked their midfield structure following the appointment of Arne Slot as manager.Dutch midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, who until last season was often used as an inside half, has been converted to the bottom of midfield, alongside Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister.
In order to compete for places with the former Bayern Munich midfielder, Liverpool went all out for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, and the only thing left was to convince the player to stay, but he pledged his loyalty to his club and decided to stay in La Liga.
According to CaughtOffside, the Merseyside club have continued their interest in Atalanta’s Brazilian midfielder Ederson, who they had expressed interest in last summer along with the Spanish midfielder, and have already made enquiries about a transfer fee.
Apart from Liverpool, Manchester United have also made contact and are demanding a payment of around €60 million. Manchester City are also following developments, with the newspaper reporting that City are leading the battle.
Although he has only played two games for Brazil, he has secured a place in the starting line-up for Atalanta this season. He has made over ‘40’ appearances in Serie A and the Champions League and is a key midfield player for coach Gian Piero Gasperini.
Throughout the season, he has been linked with a step up to the Premier League or other clubs. At 25 years of age, he is at the right age for a move, so will he decide to go to England in this summer’s transfer market?
