A round-up of the latest Liverpool news as the Reds speak with representatives of a Premier League boss and Wayne Rooney gives a warning on replacing Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool have marked Eintracht Frankfurt defender Willian Pacho as their top target for the summer transfer window.

That is according to Gianluca Di Marzio, who reports that Anfield chiefs are desperate to deliver the 22-year-old for whoever takes over as their new manager.

The Reds are loath to wait until they have appointed a replacement for Jurgen Klopp before establishing their off-season plans.

Pacho has only failed to play in three fixtures, as well.

Everton and Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has warned Liverpool that their star players will find it ‘difficult’ to adjust to life under a manager who is not Jurgen Klopp.

It will be a huge step into new territory for a club that at one point was trying to win a quadruple this season.

“I think Jurgen Klopp is almost like a father to a lot of those players,” Rooney told Sky Sports during its post-game coverage of the Merseyside derby.

“For those players now to go from Jurgen Klopp to whoever the next manager may be, it’s going to be completely different.

So, I think players will find that difficult.”
