Liverpool have made contact to sign £40million+ player – Klopp wants him

Liverpool have been linked with Mali international and Brighton star Yves Bissouma for some time and the latest reports are intriguing.

News – Liverpool backed to secure perfect signing of £300,000-a-week striker

The famous news outlet have mentioned that Jurgen Klopp wants the former Lille star and has taken a personal interest in getting him to the club as he looks to build a team capable of winning the title again next season.

The Times further claim that with the player’s contract expiring in 2023, the Seagulls are open to a summer sale for a fee of £30million.

However, last month, The Athletic revealed that it would take an offer of more than £40million to convince Brighton to sell their midfielder. The renowned source pointed out that the African star covers a lot of ground, likes to press and tackle.

Bissouma might be the perfect replacement for Wijnaldum, who has been the most used midfielder by Jurgen Klopp. Still, I think we need someone who can score and create goals from the center of the park on regular basis.

Gini has only scored 2 goals in 34 PL appearances this season. Moreover, he has not provided a single assist (in the league) since the 2017-18 campaign.

On the other hand, Bissouma has only managed to score a single goal in 33 league fixtures this term. In all competitions, he has found the net twice in 36 appearances.

Lately, we have been linked with goal scoring/creating midfielders like Udinese’s Rodrigo de Paul and Roma’s Lorenzo Pellegrini. In your view, who should Klopp sign to reinforce his central midfield for next season?
