With the new season approaching, Liverpool is looking to bolster their midfield.

Liverpool’s 2022–23 season began with disappointment after they were eliminated from the Premier League and the Champions League on the final day of each competition. Liverpool had high hopes going into the season, but things didn’t seem to work out as expected as the team lost to Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League and finished fifth in the Premier League, missing out on the Champions League for the first time since the 2015–2016 campaign.

Given the departures of James Milner, Fabio Carvalho, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as well as the aging of midfield veterans Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, Klopp’s team clearly focused on strengthening their midfield going into the transfer window.

This goal has been actively pursued by the club, who have already signed two excellent midfielders and have spent more than £100 million for the first time since 2018. Romeo Lavia, a highly sought-after defensive midfielder, is a potential addition. However, Liverpool may not be finished just yet as they aim to possibly complete a midfield trio of signings.

Here are the most recent Anfield-related news items and transfer updates:.

Romeo Lavia.

Liverpool has entered the race to sign Romeo Lavia in an effort to strengthen their already significantly improved midfield. Arsenal and Chelsea in London have shown a lot of interest in the Southampton player, but neither club seems eager to sign the 19-year-old. Liverpool seem to be the front-runner for Lavia’s services, with Chelsea concentrating on trying to sign Moises Caicedo and Arsenal anticipating to pay a nine-figure transfer fee for Englishman Declan Rice.

The Belgian, who would be the perfect addition to round out a trio of midfielders expected to join Anfield, is reportedly valued at about £50 million by the Saints, according to The Daily Mail. With the goal of reviving an ailing and struggling midfield, Klopp entered this transfer window, and he has succeeded in doing just that.

Lavia would give Liverpool a defensively-minded midfielder to complete an incredibly talented group with the acquisitions of attack-minded midfielders Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton for £35 million and recently-signed Hungarian Dominik Szoboszli from RB Leipzig for £60 million.

Federico Valeda.

The most intriguing name on this list might be Federico Valverde of Real Madrid. According to The Daily Mail, the Reds reportedly had a £51 million offer for the Uruguayan rejected earlier this month. However, a potential deal for the midfielder could benefit Los Blancos, who are aware of the enormous sum spent to sign Jude Bellingham and may need more money to pursue PSG’s Kylian Mbappe. According to the Catalan publication El Nacional, Liverpool is reportedly preparing to submit a new proposal worth approximately £77 million. With two LaLiga championships and a Champions League trophy under his belt at the young age of 24, Valverde would bring a wealth of winning experience. Jurgen Klopp will appreciate his versatility in the middle of the field, and his 12 goals this season from that area are an added bonus.

Diego Chiesa.

Federico Chiesa of Juventus and Italy is reportedly a target for Liverpool, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. According to the Italian media outlet, Chiesa does not get along well with Juve manager Max Allegri and finds it difficult to play in his 3-5-2 formation. The 25-year-old’s contract negotiations are currently stalled, but it seems like a move away from Turin may actually be a possibility, especially if a major Premier League club approaches. Liverpool now enters the picture, showing interest in the winger. Chiesa is valued at €40m by the Reds, who are unwilling to pay more than that, but Juventus want €60m for him. The loss of Roberto Firmino has left a void in Liverpool’s forward line, but with back-up options like Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, and Diogo Jota, the Reds won’t feel pressured to spend more money on Chiesa than they want to.

Khephren Thuram.

Thuram, a player who Liverpool is interested in, is currently competing for France at the under-21 European Championships alongside Manu Kone, who has also been heavily linked with a move to Anfield. The 22-year-old, who would inject some much-needed physicality into the midfield, is reportedly worth £35 million to Nice.

More news……..

Liverpool had interest in a player who had recently joined Newcastle for $60 million.

Prior to Newcastle United spending a fortune to sign the Italian midfielder, Sandro Tonali was reportedly a target for Liverpool.

The 23-year-old maestro was being watched by the Reds, per The Athletic, after a strong run of seasons at AC Milan. However, Tonali joined the club today in a deal that Eddie Howe’s team said could be worth up to £60 million.

The Athletic reports that Tonali’s transfer is the largest ever for an Italian player and the largest sale Milan has ever made in their history. Tonali is regarded as a future captain of the Azzurri and a midfielder who could elevate Newcastle to the next level, according to the Athletic.

Even though Tonali is one of the best midfielders in Europe, Liverpool supporters won’t be overly envious of Newcastle’s acquisition given that the Reds already made their own marquee signing this week in the form of Dominik Szoboszlai.

Liverpool should not feel envious of Newcastle after they sign Tonali.

Even though Liverpool is still looking for a new midfielder, fans shouldn’t be envious of Newcastle for acquiring Tonali, who could easily start for most Premier League clubs.

Liverpool has already spent a lot of money on midfielders this summer, as is well known. Tonali could have been another elite addition for Jurgen Klopp, but the Anfield team is firmly on the path to improving their squad, with one more addition anticipated if reports are to be believed.
