Liverpool offered chance to sign world-class player at crazy price

Arne Slot has been offered the chance to make one of the world’s best players his first signing as Liverpool manager.

With pre-season still a few weeks away, Slot has yet to have a chance to fully assess the squad he inherited from Jurgen Klopp.

After that, he will work with Fenway Sports Group’s new football CEO and former Liverpool sporting director, Michael Edwards, as well as new sporting director Richard Hughes to strengthen their ranks.

Liverpool are interested in signing Lille defender Leny Yoro in a move seen as a unique opportunity to land one of the most exciting prospects in world football and are reportedly interested in signing a new midfielder.

The perfect opportunity to add a genuine world-class option to their engine room may have presented itself with Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo reporting that a move has been made for Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich.

The 29-year-old is out of contract at the Allianz Arena next summer and Bayern are reportedly ready to cash in on their captain if he continues to refuse a new deal.

Liverpool have already inquired about the possibility of signing the Germany international who would be available for much less than his current market value due to his contract situation, if reports are to be believed.

Kimmich has no shortage of suitors and has been linked with Manchester City, Arsenal and Real Madrid this summer, meaning Liverpool will need to move quickly if they are to secure his services.

Liverpool’s first-choice defensive midfielder is Wataru Endo, who made a surprise move to Anfield in last summer’s transfer window and impressed in his debut campaign.

While various reports indicate that the club is interested in promoting his position, the Japan international has surprisingly embraced the idea of ​​adding another player in the same role.

He ABEMA Sports Time in Japan: “I don’t care about these reports, but I also think it would be better to have a number 6 in midfield.

“I think there is the question of whether they see the current number 10, Alexis Mac Allister, as a number 6 or as an anchor. At the moment there aren’t many number 6s.

“Given my age, I don’t think it would be a problem to have a new number 6. If it makes the team stronger in the end, I’m happy about it. There will be competition and I’ll just have to earn my place. I’m not too worried. I even think it would be a good idea to have one!”
