Liverpool’s midfield task for the summer could become even larger if Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones leave, but FSG appear to have a contingency plan.In terms of serious links to midfielders in recent weeks, Liverpool’s pursuit of Adam Wharton has dominated the headlines. Speaking to Anfield Index, David Lynch outlined Liverpool’s interest in both players.He said: “You kind of group those two together.

I do expect them to sign a midfielder, I would almost say 10 out of 10 for that that it will be one of the bits of business done.”The important thing to note with Liverpool’s midfield recruitment is that it remains a fluid situation.The profiles they need, the fees they can afford to allocate and the number of signings required will all depend on who stays and who goes. On that topic, Lynch added: “I think Jones will go, I expect that that will happen, but if Mac Allister goes as well, it really opens up possibilities for them.“If both go, you will probably see Adam Wharton come in and one other, which will probably be one of these two lads, or someone of similar profile.” You can only pick ONE player for Liverpool to sign this summer, who is it?

Mac Allister leaving Liverpool would create a much bigger problem.In that scenario, Wharton plus one of Camara or Sangare suddenly becomes a logical plan.
