Liverpool could sign three players after beating Man Utd to Cody Gakpo

Liverpool could still make more moves in the transfer market after beating Manchester United to the signing of Cody Gakpo. The Reds have agreed a fee that could rise to as much as £44million to secure the Dutchman’s services after months of speculation had suggested he would be making the move to Old Trafford instead. 

Enzo Fernandez

The Argentine’s performances at the World Cup have captured the attention of a host of clubs, with Liverpool believed to be among that number. The 21-year-old offers creativity from the holding midfield role and could go on to become the club’s first choice in the position for the next decade. 

However, Klopp may face the same hurdles to attract Fernandez to Anfield in January that he does with Bellingham. Benfica have confirmed they have no intention to sell their top stars over the winter, meaning the Reds would need to fork out £106m for his release clause. 

There is also no certainty that the midfielder would agree to the move at this time, insisting his full focus currently remains with the Portuguese side which means this is another that may have to wait til summer.

Reports have linked the Napoli star with a move to Liverpool in recent days, with Ahmet Ercanlar stating Klopp had held a private call with the player encouraging him to come to Anfield. He may be the most achievable option for the club after being used sparingly by the Italian side this season, seeing just over 500 minutes of match action in 14 appearances in the Serie A. 

The North Macedonian may be the best option for the Reds at the current moment in time before chasing Bellingham and Fernandez over the summer. It remains to be seen whether or not Klopp decides to take any concrete action other than his reported phone call.
