Jürgen Klopp has said Liverpool will not be held to ransom over their summer transfer targets but are confident of making the signings they have identified.
Liverpool’s need and desire for new midfielders is well established with Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister, Bayern Munich’s Ryan Gravenberch, Chelsea’s Mason Mount and Matheus Nunes of Wolves among the targets.
As a result, selling clubs could demand a premium from Liverpool for their players this summer, although Klopp insists he would switch to alternative targets rather than pay inflated fees.
Liverpool withdrew from the race for Jude Bellingham due to the prohibitive costs of the deal and the extent of the rebuild required at Anfield.
