Liverpool reportedly have a chance to sign long-time target Nicolo Zaniolo.
According to Italian publication Il Sussidario, the Reds could strike a potential swap deal with Roma to sign the 20-year-old attacker.
The report claims that Liverpool could throw centre-back Dejan Lovren into a potential deal for the £50 million-rated youngster.
It seems unlikely that it’ll be a straight swap, but sporting directors all over Europe are going to have to get creative if there’s going to be arrivals this summer.
The global health crisis is wreaking havoc on many clubs’ finances and traditional transfers might be something of a rarity once the window opens.
In any case, a swap deal, or a player-plus-cash one for Zaniolo, would be brilliant for Liverpool and here’s how fans of the Anfield club reacted to that idea on Twitter:
The attacking midfielder is sidelined with an anterior cruciate ligament injury at the moment and isn’t due back until August, which might make the Reds somewhat reluctant to do any business until they see how he recovers from the issue.
