Liverpool has reportedly ended their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham over the German club’s £100m asking price. They will now be targeting at least two new midfielders including Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo.
Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Liverpool will be active in this summer’s window as they look to overhaul their squad and are targeting at least two new midfielders.
The German manager said the club will improve their on-field chances with smart recruitment – but said now is not the time to focus on the title plans.
It is reported that the Reds have held talks with Brighton for the Ecuadorian star, Moses Caicedo, who has been one of the best midfielders in the Premier League this season.
He was heavily linked with a move to league leaders, Arsenal, in the winter transfer window. However, Brighton managed to hold on to him and extended his stay until 2027.
Declan Rice on the other hand has been inconsistent in the current campaign for a struggling West Ham side. However, he has proved his worth as a quality defensive midfielder over the years.
The 24-year-old was a key member of the Three Lions squad that reached the finals of Euro 2020. As well as the quarter-finals at the FIFA World Cup.
Time will tell if any of these players will sign for Liverpool. The Merseyside Reds are currently focused on trying to qualify for the champions league.
