Liverpool fans are watching deadline day with dismay as the reality that the Reds will not do the business they so badly need to begins to hit home.It has been clear since the first day of the window that Liverpool need a new option at right-back, and also a new midfielder to help stop the team getting overrun in the Premier League every week.With less than 12 hours to go before the market closes, however, the Reds have not sorted either position. Bringing in a new midfielder would placate the majority of supporters, and would make everyone of a Liverpool persuasion feel a whole lot better about the season ahead.Lamine Camara has seemed like the player most likely to join, but Chelsea have moved ahead to sign him on Tuesday, and Liverpool are nowhere to be seen.

So, accepting that the Monaco man is not going to be the answer, the Reds should absolutely be looking to Madrid, where Real are reportedly open to a late exit for Eduardo Camavinga.Camavinga could leave Real MadridAccording to The Athletic on Tuesday morning, there is still a possibility that Camavinga is made available in the final hours of the window.They claim Madrid are aware that several Premier League clubs are on the lookout for a midfielder, and do not see the Frenchman as being ‘untouchable.’READ MORE: Four Liverpool youngsters set to stay and join Andoni Iraola’s first-team plans rather than leave on deadline dayIndeed, if any offer did arrive for Camavinga, it is claimed that Los Blancos would be open to accepting.The same is also supposedly true of Raul Asencio, the central defender who was briefly linked with Liverpool earlier this summer.Liverpool should try for Camavinga loanThroughout the summer so far there has been little to no sign that Liverpool are actively wanting to add to their ranks in midfield.Nevertheless, having lost and not replaced Curtis Jones, it is clear to just about everybody that their options are decidedly short.

6 fans have been desperately crying out for, but he is certainly more defensive-minded than any of Liverpool’s current starting midfielders, and would just give Andoni Iraola another top quality option.For now, it seems more likely that Liverpool will simply ignore their issues and do nothing. Bringing him in at the last minute would be plenty to save the Reds’ window and ensure they go into the season more competitively than they currently are.
