Liverpool hopes to bring at least 2 new midfielders to Anfield in the January and summer markets at the end of the season. The recent defeat to Brentford in the Championship was another blow to Klopp's side, and a sign that reinforcements are now an urgent need at the club.
Despite this, the January market is expected to be a quiet period in the Liverpool camp. This and because of the transfer of Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven. Coach Klopp himself has announced that the club does not have large budgets available like rivals Manchester City, Manchester United or Newcastle.
However, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, "The Reds" remain interested in Jude Bellingham and Enzo Fernandez. Both players impressed with their performances at the World Cup, but their card value is quite high. Borussia Dortmund are thought to want around £130m for Bellingham, while Benfica are claiming £102m for Fernandez's card.
At the moment, these figures are unaffordable for Liverpool, but according to sources close to the club, the team leaders have compiled a short list of targets in the market, where according to them, the approach to Anfield of more than 1 midfielder can be ruled out.
The midfield is undoubtedly one of the most problematic departments of the moment in coach Klopp's team, where the great age of the players stands out. Jordan Henderson, Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho are 32, 31 and 29 respectively.
However, manager Klopp has played down enthusiasm about the January transfer window, saying that as always, a lot will depend on finances, and if the conditions are met to bring another new player to Anfield, it will happen, if not then there will be no reinforcements for the time being.
