The biggest wish of most Liverpool fans seems to be for Jude Bellingham to sign in the upcoming transfer windows, even though the midfielder is an obvious choice for the Reds; he may not be the only player we see walking through the front door.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano for CaughtOffside: “Honestly, I think whoever signs Bellingham has one of the best talents in the team and I think he would be absolutely perfect for Liverpool.
“But Liverpool have more than one player on the list for January/June, as the midfield will have at least one or two new players in the next two transfer windows, this is the expectation.”

Perhaps not newsflash that we are looking at other targets as well, but many believe the 19-year-old won’t leave his current club until the summer, so this update means we may have some hope that a new player may yet arrive. to this window.
With the possible departure of Naby Keita, Alex Oxalde-Chamberlain, James Milner and Arthur Melo in the summer, Jurgen Klopp will want to refresh his midfield for next season and it will be vital to allow someone to settle in for another six months.
However, the boss will also be keen not to block the path of Harvey Elliott, Fabio Carvalho, Curtis Jones and Stefan Bajcetic, while also juggling playing time for Jordan Henderson, Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho.
It’s a good balance for the manager and when you add that he won’t have an unlimited budget to spend on a potential Borussia Dortmund signing in the summer, then he’ll also have to carefully balance the books on possible deals.
We seem to be staying where we usually are at Anfield, ready for a deal that will work if it comes along, but possibly not with a huge amount of money on hand, especially if we plan to move to Bellingham at the end of the season.
