The Merseysiders are understood to be in the market for multiple midfielders this summer and would certainly be tempted by the prospect of a quality addition to the holding midfield role.

Should Liverpool try and sign Romeo Lavia?
There’s one every so slight snag in Liverpool’s plan – should reports of our interest in the teenager turn out to be on the money. With Stefan Bajcetic (18) also vying for a place in our starting-XI, the signing of Lavia (19) would most certainly obstruct one of the two’s pathway.
Fabinho has enjoyed a late resurgence toward the end of the campaign thanks in no small part to the tweak made to Trent Alexander-Arnold’s role in this system, though we’re under no illusions personally over the need to invest in the holding midfield role.
A signing closer to the Brazilian’s age than our young Spanish-Serb, however, would be well-advised to ensure we’re not casually throwing away a top talent who showed immense potential prior to suffering an ill-timed injury.
