Liverpool are linked with a brilliant double deal.
If rumours are to be believed, Liverpool could be making an outstanding double deal this summer.
According to French publication RMC, Liverpool have agreed a £61.5 million deal with Lyon to sign Nabil Fekir, while the same report also adds that Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele is a target.
Considering the Reds have a Champions League final to look forward to in a number of weeks, you could say that Jurgen Klopp already boasts a fantastic set of attacking players.
But a double swoop for Fekir and Dembele would turn Klopp’s side into a serious, serious team.
Fekir has spent much of the season playing as a number nine, netting 17 goals in 26 Ligue 1 starts, but the 24-year-old is also a very gifted playmaker and one who could add even more creativity for Liverpool’s star-studded trident of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah of course.
Meanwhile, Dembele, who has struggled at Barca following a £95 million move last summer, would represent brilliant competition for Sadio Mane on Klopp’s left wing. Still only 20, the Frenchman is a ridiculous talent, even if his first season at Camp Nou hasn’t gone to plan, and signing him would do wonders for the Reds’ squad overall.
When you consider the fact that Naby Keita will join this summer, and Virgil van Dijk’s transition to life on Merseyside since joining in January, Dembele and Fekir joining would surely mean that Klopp’s side are much more of a match for Pep Guaridola’s Manchester City next season.
