Mohamed Salah is also yet to be replaced, but one £100million World Cup star could be the answer.The Reds have thus far parted with a combined £100m for defender Jeremy Jacquet, whose transfer was sealed in January, and winger Victor Munoz.But Andoni Iraola's team is likely to need a few extra squad members if he's to inspire a Premier League title charge. The Spanish manager, who guided Bournemouth to European football for the first time in their history last term, has stressed the need to sign a winger and bolster their defensive cover.If the club wish to answer his plea, they could look at some players who stood out at the World Cup for potential recruits.

Reports in Spain indicate Barcelona would move him on in the coming months.With Liverpool seeking a winger, the former Manchester City player could suit their needs, although the rumours emerging from France this week that the Reds are poised to go toe-to-toe with PSG for his £40m signature are unfounded.Bradley BarcolaFinding a replacement for Salah is unquestionably Liverpool's primary objective and France forward Bradley Barcola remains linked with a switch to Anfield. That said, the Reds would probably encounter competition from other European heavyweights should they chase the 23-year-old.Ibrahim MbayeOne of PSG's emerging stars could become Liverpool's present.

Reds supporters are accustomed to witnessing Senegalese talent flourish at Anfield and L'Equipe claims that Mbaye could be secured for between £34m and £42m, which might prove to be genuine value.Maxim De CuyperShifting away from wingers, left-back might be another area of worry for Iraola this campaign, considering that Robertson has departed and Milos Kerkez appeared exposed at times last season under Arne Slot.Consequently, recruiting another left-sided full-back who won't cost the earth to share duties with Kerkez, should Kostas Tsimikas be deemed surplus to requirements in the forthcoming weeks, could be under consideration.Belgium's Maxim De Cuyper was linked with a switch to Anfield before joining Brighton, and he impressed for his country at the World Cup, featuring from the start in five matches during their run to the last eight. They may soon turn to one of their former academy prospects.Admittedly, Jarell Quansah's World Cup was hardly flawless.
