The Kop has had a busy summer of 2023. Coach Jurgen Klopp needs to find a quality anchor when the duo Fabinho, Jordan Henderson prepare to leave.

Liverpool stand before a busy summer. The Kop said goodbye to a series of faces like Naby Keita, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain… Meanwhile, the duo Jordan Henderson and Fabinho are about to move to Saudi Arabia.

In the opposite direction, coach Jurgen Klopp welcomed two quality rookies Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. Liverpool need to add at least one new midfielder before the 2023 summer market closes. The following are the goals that are in the sights of the Anfield team.

1. Romeo Lavia

Lavia was linked to Liverpool throughout this summer. Southampton value the Belgian midfielder at around £50 million. In the 2022/2023 season, Lavia became a rare bright spot when Southampton had a bad record.

Many fans feɑr that the £50 million price tag is too high for a 19-year-old midfielder like Lavia. The player born in 2004 lacks the experience of fιghting at the top. That makes it difficult for Lavia to be assigned the role of filling the void left by Henderson or Fabinho.

2. Cheick Doucoure

According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool have jumped into the race to recruit Doucoure. The Malian midfielder made a strong impression in the Crystal Palace shirt. Doucoure does not have an impressive physique, but the 2000-year-old midfielder possesses the ability to read the game and play smart football.

Palace is ready to push Doucoure away if it receives an attractive enough offer on the negotiating table. The 23-year-old midfielder is valued at around £70 million.

3. Sofian Amrabat

The 2022/2023 season marks a successful year for Amrabat. The 26-year-old star had an outstanding performance in the shirt of the Fiorentina club and the Morocco national team at the 2022 World Cup.

The current contract between Amrabat and Fiorentina has one year left. The Italian team needs to push to Amrabat if they do not want his eyes to be white next summer. According to the Daily Mail, the 26-year-old midfielder is valued at around £30 million. The deal ‘delicious and cheap’ for Liverpool. Man United is the main competitor to The Kop in this deal.

4. Ryan Gravenberch

Despite his career showing signs of slowing down in the Bayern Munich shirt, Ryan still receives high praise from experts. The Dutch player is a box-to-box midfielder, active on the pitch.

Ryan is valued at around £25m, a soft number for Liverpool. At the age of 21, the Dutch midfielder promises to become an important factor, leading the midfield of The Kop in the next 10 years.

5. Aurelien Tchouameni

Liverpool once lost Tchouameni in the summer of 2022. The French midfielder decided to join Real Madrid instead of choosing Anfield. However, the future of the former AS Monaco star becomes a big question mark this summer.

The presence of the invisible blockbuster Jude Bellingham creates a fierce competition for positions in the midfield. Will Tchouameni consider leaving Los Blancos?

6. Joao Palhinha

Midfielder born in 1995 promises to add steel, pressing ability for Liverpool’s midfield. Palhinha was dubbed the ‘king’ of the Premier League tackle last season.

Fulham did not let Palhinha leave with low numbers. According to the Daily Mail, the Portuguese midfielder is valued at around £60 million.
