Liverpool Prepared To Offer £50Million For Former AC Milan Man Next Summer
It was a quiet summer at Anfield after new Head Coach Arne Slot was appointed as the successor to Jurgen Klopp.
Federico Chiesa was signed in a cut-price deal from Juventus, and Giorgi Marmadashvili from Valencia before he was immediately loaned back to them.
Liverpool's intent to bring in an additional midfielder was also shown during the much-publicised chase for Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi, a move that ultimately fell through at the last minute.
Whilst Slot has hit the ground running in impressive fashion at Anfield, at some point, it is expected that he will want to put his own stamp on the team via the transfer market.
