2. Thiago Alcantara
With Naby Keita‘s future at Liverpool in question, it’s pivotal that Klopp begins to look at replacements. While nothing is confirmed, and Keita has not done much to hinder his chances of progressing at Anfield, the last thing Liverpool want is to be short of options if this is the case. Teamtalk reported that Keita is eyeing a move away, for those confused.
The Bayern Munich man appears to be surplus to requirements at Bayern Munich and is eyeing options for a move away this summer. That said, Liverpool could even attempt to persuade the Bavarians with a swap deal, although it’s unknown whether Bayern would be down for this.

Thiago is a great midfielder, who is renowned for his silky footwork and ability to bridge the gap between midfield and attack. That said, he would be perfect to replace Keita.
1. Kalidou Koulibaly
Liverpool has said in the past that they are not interested in signing Kalidou Koulibaly but I have one question after watching their abysmal defensive display against City; why on earth not?
I’m sorry, but he is clearly needed. Yes, Virgil van Dijk is the best defender in the world, there’s no question about that, however, he is surrounded by imbeciles. Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are some of the best full-backs in the world, so to partner these two and Van Dijk alongside the likes of Dejan Lovren or Joel Matip is ludicrous.
Joe Gomez is a good candidate and I believe he will be an excellent player in the future, but he is not yet ready. Kalidou Koulibaly would be, and the fact that Manchester City is interested in him should scare Liverpool, like, a lot. If it doesn’t, then they are not serious about mounting a serious title challenge. Defence wins you titles, so to win another one, the Reds must tighten up their backline.
Who do you think Liverpool will sign this summer?
