Here are 7 players Liverpool targeted but missed last summer and their form last season

Jude Bellingham

12 months have passed and Liverpool will surely regret not having tried harder to sign the talented player. Gaps in midfield were the biggest problem given their poor performance last season, while Bellingham took their performance to the next level.

He is only 20 years old but has almost led Dortmund to the title – Bellingham is absent through injury as his teammates painfully missed opportunities on the final day.

Finally, Real Madrid has got one of the most potential stars in the world

Arnaut Danjuma

GOAL reported last summer that Liverpool had identified Danjuma as a replacement for Mane. The Dutch winger once shone in the Championship for Bournemouth, but really caught the eye after moving to Villarreal in 2021.

He excelled for Unai Emery’s Golden Submarine, being one of the star players as they reached the Champions League semi-finals. Danjuma ended up staying at the Estadio de la Ceramica but fell out of favor after Emery left for Aston Villa before being loaned out at Tottenham. He only started one game for Spurs, who have had an even more disappointing season than Liverpool.

Amadou Onana

Onana enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2021/2022 with Lille, leading to interest from a number of Premier League clubs. The Belgian eventually went to Merseyside, but he signed for Everton. They’ve had a lousy season, but Onana is one of the good players.

Moises Caicedo

Currently rated as one of England’s outstanding defensive midfielders, if not all of Europe, this time last year Caicedo was considered a young player with a lot of potential, but he was not really there. assert themselves in the Premier League.

After turning down Liverpool’s interest last summer, Brighton turned down a £60m offer from Arsenal in January.

Ousmane Dembele

Spain’s SPORT site claims that Liverpool have contacted Dembele’s team to inquire about him but nothing has been done. Dembele’s contract with Barcelona expired last summer but he has signed a new deal to stay at Camp Nou until 2024.

Dembele’s usual injury problems continued, but when healthy, he was one of Barcelona’s standout players as they won La Liga.

Jarrod Bowen

Bowen stayed at West Ham but fell into disrepair. He was dropped from England’s World Cup squad and scored just six Premier League goals, but he ended up doing well with the winning goal in The Hammers’ UEFA Conference League final against Fiorentina .

Nicolo Barella

Barella remains with Inter. The 26-year-old Italian midfielder has had another successful season and has played in the Champions League final, but he failed to provide an assist when the Nerazzuri suffered defeat to Manchester City.
