As the transfer market approaches its last few days, we asked you to rank any potential late additions in order of priority.
With the additions of Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Wataru Endo this summer, the Reds have counterbalanced the departures of five senior midfielders.
A change in the center of the park was always imminent, but the unexpected departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho gave it considerably more significance.
Many supporters are now demanding for the team to sign a fourth midfielder, while others want to see reinforcements at the rear.
If Liverpool were to add one more player this summer, we put it to you on Twitter to see if you would prefer another midfielder or a center-back. The results were interesting!
62.7% of viewers of This Is Anfield chose to add another player at No. 6, while the remaining 37.3% chose to add a new defender.
According to reports from earlier this week, Jurgen Klopp does not intend to add another No. 6 “specialist” to his team this summer, despite the fact that many believed Fluminense’s Andre may become a possibility in January.
Additionally, there were reports earlier this summer that the Reds are looking for a defender, which made sense given the team’s new shape.
Many supporters were led to assume that substantial funding was available for an incoming third midfielder after the unsuccessful pursuits of Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo.
After that, questions about whether the signing of 30-year-old Endo was seen as a stopgap with more to come were raised in light of the comparatively low fee.
Given that all four of the team’s senior center-backs have sustained injuries in recent years, Liverpool’s new 3-4-3 ‘box’ formation in possession has also drawn attention to a potential opening at the back.
It’s unclear if the club’s summer business has been completed, but we can almost certainly expect to hear plenty more links in the days to come.
If the Reds made one more signing before the deadline, what would be your top priority? Comment below and let us know!
