Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing the Valencia pair.

According to Spanish media outlet El Gol Digital, Liverpool are lining up a double summer swoop for Valencia duo Carlos Soler and Ferran Torres, on the condition that they might lose Mohamed Salah to Real Madrid.

Jürgen Klopp has already lost one of his best players, after Philippe Coutinho swapped Merseyside for Barcelona in January, and he will be desperate to prevent the same happening with his Egyptian superstar.

If the worst should happen, though, the Reds have a plan in place.

El Gol Digital claim that Liverpool have identified Valencia pair Carlos Soler and Ferran Torres as potential replacements for Salah, and are prepared to pay up to €120 million (£104.9 million) to secure the services of the Spanish duo.

Soler, 21, is a right midfielder by trade, but can also operate in the middle of the park. He is technically gifted and still has a lot of time to improve even further still.

Torres, meanwhile, is a more attack-minded player, and at just 18, he is one of the most highly-rated youngsters on the continent.

With both payers being such unproven commodities, however, the wisdom behind spending such an extortionate amount of money on the pair would seem questionable to say the very least.
