If you believe the transfer speculation, it hasn’t been a good week for Liverpool as they continue to plot a midfield revamp this summer. Set to miss out on Champions League qualification after a difficult season, the Reds have ultimately found themselves navigating a transitional campaign with an ageing squad. Having overhauled their attack over the past 18 months, their engine-room was always going to be club bosses’ next priority. With the last senior midfielder to arrive at Anfield, back in September 2021, it has been widely agreed that Liverpool’s decision not to strengthen their engine-room last summer was the wrong one.

It is worth noting that Liverpool have at least had success in the past when not signing their first-choice transfer targets.



Meanwhile, Liverpool actually missed out on three players before eventually settling on in the summer of 2017.



Now the Reds can only hope they strike such gold once again, should they be forced to dive deeper into their midfield transfer longlist in the weeks and months ahead.
