News about transfers involving Liverpool as Michael Edwards considers Jamal Musiala a “priority,” and two transactions are “likely.”

News about transfers involving Liverpool: Michael Edwards has Jamal Musiala in the crosshairs. Fabrizio Romano reports that the Reds may be targeting two slots.

It’s possible that Liverpool may begin to formulate some firm transfer plans. Though Jürgen Klopp’s replacement is still a mystery, Michael Edwards’ return to the FSG fold adds much-needed stability.

He is not returning to his previous position as sporting director, which Richard Hughes is anticipated to take over at the end of the current campaign. At that point, Liverpool’s transfer strategy is probably going to pick up a notch. However, Edwards is undoubtedly qualified to describe some potential objectives in the meantime, particularly if he already has a keen sense of who he wants to succeed him as manager.

The Reds may begin determining, if nothing else, which general areas of the pitch they should target for reinforcement in the summer. Two possible weak areas have been mentioned as having been found.

More specifically, Edwards is reportedly considering Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala as one of his “first priorities.” The high asking price and probable competition from other clubs will put Liverpool’s will to close a deal to the test, but there’s no denying the exciting prospect’s quality.

This is Liverpool.com’s assessment of the transfer rumours that have been circulating about the Reds lately. Let’s start with Musiala’s most recent news.

Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala

According to Football Insider, Edwards is moving forward with his pursuit of Musiala. According to the source, Liverpool is’very keen’ to complete a deal.

Come summertime, Musiala’s contract with Bayern Munich will expire after two years. It is said that he turned down the opportunity to sign new terms.

That will definitely make a lot of clubs very cautious. It turns out that Manchester City is also reportedly interested. However, Bayern Munich has set an asking price of $127 million (£100 million/€117 million) and is currently unwilling to sell to anyone.

It remains to be seen if that has a strong enough deterrence effect. Musiala has the added benefit of being a native of the country, having grown up in the Chelsea system and competing for England as a young player before changing sides.

According to Liverpool.com, this would be an incredibly thrilling transfer to start a new chapter. If we go into the realm of possibilities, it would be simple to imagine Musiala succeeding in one of the supporting roles behind the striker in Xabi Alonso’s preferred lineup.

However, there’s no assurance that Alonso will assume command. The issue with authorising such a high-profile addition is that, while it’s good to return control to Edwards and a new sporting director, the additions still need to fit into the manager’s system, and it seems like all the pieces need to fall into place before Liverpool can really go after major players like this.

A forward and a center-back

Liverpool signed four players to essentially create a completely new midfield last summer while they were really busy. It’s likely to be a quieter transfer window with all the upheaval off the pitch, but the team has identified two areas to bolster.

Liverpool will look to add a new center-back in the summer, according to Fabrizio Romano, who was speaking on The Debrief. Transfer correspondent reports that the team was ‘given various opportunities’ in January but decided to hold off.

Unexpectedly, there will also be a forward on the schedule. Romano said, “I see them doing something in the offensive positions.” “I see at least two signings for Liverpool in the summer transfer window, but it could be a winger or a striker — we have to see what they want to do with the new manager.”

According to Liverpool.com: It doesn’t take a transfer guru to figure out that Liverpool will be considering centre backs, Joël Matip is probably going to move on when his contract expires, but as Virgil van Dijk gets closer to turning 33, some forward planning is going to be needed.

More intriguing information is found regarding hiring on the forward line. Although Mohamed Salah is approaching his contract’s last year and is also getting close to 30, Liverpool appears to have a rather well-stocked roster on paper. Hopefully, pursuing another assailant does not indicate that he is about to retire.
