Dominik Szoboszlai is the reigning attacking midfielder, while England U-21 midfielder Harvey Elliott, who is competing for the same position, has not started in the Premier League and Curtis Jones is more appropriate one row back.
With the ever-increasing burden on the Hungarian midfielder, it is imperative to have a rival player who can compete regularly. The possibility that Elliott could turn into a player cannot be ruled out, but he does not match the ability coach Arne Slot is looking for and his future is not guaranteed.
However, it is unlikely that a lot of money will be invested in an attacking midfielder, as there are many positions that should be prioritised for reinforcement, such as centre-back, centre-forward and left and right flanks. And in that case, it is only natural to turn the heat on up-and-coming players, rather than those demanding high transfer fees.
According to TuttoMercato, Liverpool are interested in Greek midfielder Konstantinos Kaletsas, who plays for Belgian side Genk. In addition, Napoli from Italy, Manchester United and Newcastle United from the Premier League are also said to be following the developments.
The 17-year-old midfielder, who is under contract until June 2027, also made his debut for Greece in March 2025 and has already scored one goal in two games. He chose to represent his country of birth, Belgium, as a youth player, but opted for Greece for the full squad.
He is left-handed and builds his attacks with quality passes supplied by his left foot. He has been on the pitch for over 30 games this season, although he has made a number of midfield appearances for his current team, and has made rapid progress in the Jupiler Pro League.
It is no surprise that strong clubs are interested in the promising 17-year-old midfielder. It would not be surprising if teams other than those named in this report are also keen, and Henk’s asking price could be raised.
