Liverpool line up South American star as replacement for key player: report

Liverpool’s summer of transition is underway after Arne Slot and new sporting director Richard Hughes began work at the club this week. 

The Reds said an emotional farewell to Jurgen Klopp last month after the German called time on what was the club’s most successful chapter of the past 30 years. 

As well as changes among the coaching and administrative staff, there is also likely to be turnover when it comes to the playing squad, as the new regime looks to make its mark on the club. 

While the likes of Thiago, Adrian and Joel Matip will reach the end of their contracts later this month, there are other players that Slot and company would not want to see depart.
