Liverpool make transfer decision over Brazil midfielder
Liverpool last had a major midfield refit back in 2023.
Jurgen Klopp and then-sporting director Jorg Schmadtke concluded deals for Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch.
Out went Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Naby Keita, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. It’s fair to say those transfers have paid off in a big way - but the time is approaching when Liverpool must restock their midfield all over again.
The load has been quite heavy on Liverpool’s rotating cast of midfielders this season - with all five options suffering varying degrees of injuries.
And with question marks against Mac Allister’s form - and the uncertain contract situations of Endo and Curtis Jones - it has been suggested that midfield is one area the Premier League champions will seek to improve next summer.
Liverpool linked again with Joao Gomes
A long-standing target has been Joao Gomes of Wolves. The 24-year-old moved to Molineux back in January 2023 from Flamengo - with whom he won the 2022 Copa Libertadores.

The midfielder has become a solid campaigner for Wolves in the Premier League ever since - emerging on the radar of several top clubs.
According to a report in Caught Offside Napoli and Atletico Madrid have both got plans to sign the Brazil international next summer while Manchester United have also identified Gomes as a potential Casemiro replacement.
More fancifully the report names Crystal Palace as potential suitors for Joao Gomes - who is contracted to the Premier League side until 2030.
Liverpool move on from Joao Gomes
And Liverpool are also mentioned - with the report claiming that the club’s interest in Gomes has now COOLED.
It looks like Liverpool won’t be getting involved in the transfer fight for Joao Gomes - but let’s assume that Richard Hughes has got his midfield targets identified elsewhere.
Other players named as Liverpool targets lately include Eduardo Camavinga, Ayyoub Bouaddi and Sandro Tonali.
Camavinga looks to be surplus to requirements at Real Madrid while Bouaddi at Lille has got all of Europe on alert ahead of a potential departure.
Tonali could leave Newcastle for Anfield although he’s also got interest in his services from Juventus.

If the club moves early, they could avoid another transitional season in the middle of the park.
