Liverpool are willing to swap a £29 million man as they prepare a bid for a world-class midfielder

Liverpool is planning a bid for Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic.

According to Calciomercatoweb, the Reds are “preparing an assault” to sign the 29-year-old.

Liverpool’s offer could reportedly include either Roberto Firmino or Naby Keita.

Although Brozovic is regarded as a key player for Inter, it is claimed that their desire for ‘economic sustainability’ means that no one is untransferable. As a result, Liverpool is keeping an eye on his availability.

Liverpool’s need for a new midfielder could just have become a whole lot more urgent. Thiago Alcantara hobbling out of The Reds’ season opener was the last thing supporters wanted to see. But that’s exactly what happened.

As a result, Liverpool could now already be three players light in the middle of the park. After Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Curtis Jones, Thiago would represent the hat-trick.

Still, Jurgen Klopp has remained steadfast in his insistence that his squad doesn’t need another midfielder. Should Thiago be out for any considerable amount of time though, that position could be seriously put to the test.

But even if Klopp decides to change his position, it would seem entirely unrealistic that Brozovic would be a target.

The Croatia international is a super player, of that there’s no doubt. Then manager Antonio Conte said he had the potential to be ‘world class’ via Fotmob in 2019.

But he will be thirty in November. He also recently signed a contract extension until 2026, and according to the report, he’s one of Inter’s best players.

For all of these reasons, you’d think he’d be near the bottom of Liverpool’s target list.

If they intend to raid Inter for a central midfielder, they should set their sights on Nicolo Barella.

Switching either of the two players mentioned is something that will never happen.

Firmino, who cost £29 million, is said to be on Juventus’ radar, but reports that he could leave Liverpool have been dismissed.
