Speaking on his Twitch channel, Fabrizio Romano has shared what Liverpool’s number one priority is for the remainder of this transfer window.
The Reds have of course already completed one signing this summer with Ibrahima Konate coming to Anfield, and their current priority is reportedly a new winger.
What’s been said?
Romano shared what he knows about Liverpool’s transfer plans for the remainder of the summer.
“Yes, the plan is signing new wingers because they will lose Salah and Mane for some weeks because of the African Cup of Nations, so that is why they’re now thinking about this situation with the wingers,” Romano said.
“So, the priority is signing new players in attacking positions, selling some players such as Shaqiri or Origi, then signing a striker, and then moving for a midfielder, it’s not a priority for Liverpool at the moment the midfielders, as of today.”
Smart
Liverpool are wise to view a new winger as their priority this summer.
As Romano says, Mo Salah and Sadio Mane are set to head to the African Cup of Nations later this season, and that’s going to undoubtedly affect the squad.
Of course, it remains to be seen which winger Liverpool bring in, but they have been linked to the likes of Lorenzo Insigne and Jeremy Doku in the past, so perhaps those are two players Jurgen Klopp could look at.
It looks as though Liverpool have an interesting summer ahead of them.
