Liverpool midfield search: Manu Kone, Khephren Thuram, Nicolo Barella & more
Sky Sports With Liverpool having signed Alexis Mac Allister, the club will now move their focus on to other targets, with several midfielders reportedly being considered by Jurgen Klopp this summer - but who fits the Reds' system the best?
Typically, Liverpool acted quickly following the end of the season to finalise their move for Mac Allister, 24, with the Argentina international moving to Anfield in a deal worth an initial £35m.
However, Mac Allister's arrival is not expected to be the last piece of business conducted by the club's new sporting director, Jorg Schmadtke, who only took up his role at the end of May.
Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner will all leave when their contracts expire at the end of June, while Arthur Melo returns to Juventus after the conclusion of his loan deal.
"It makes sense to add greater depth given Fabinho will be 30 in October," said Sky Sports News' Liverpool reporter Vinny O'Connor.
"Jordan Henderson will turn 33 this month. Thiago is 32 and has been beset by injury problems during his time at Anfield and has only 12 months remaining on his contract.
