4 players Jose Mourinho could sign for Liverpool if he gets Anfield job

Jose Mourinho might be eyeing a reunion with some of his old charges at Liverpool, as rumours swirl about him potentially taking the helm at Anfield.

While Feyenoord's Arne Slot is tipped to succeed Jurgen Klopp, with a verbal agreement reportedly in place, Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler isn't sold on the idea. Fowler has suggested that the Merseyside club could do well under the stewardship of a seasoned campaigner like Mourinho, remarking: "I could understand why you would get someone like Mourinho. A case in point would be Real Madrid, for example."

He elaborated on his point by referencing Real Madrid's managerial choice after Zinedine Zidane's departure, adding: "When Zinedine Zidane left for the second time in 2021, they didn't go looking for a young and up-coming manager, they went for an experienced manager in Carlo Ancelotti. That experience and that know-how can definitely help a club in transition."

Speculation is rife over who Mourinho might bring aboard if he takes Fowler's advice and heads to Liverpool.

The AC Milan centre-back who rose through the ranks at Chelsea during Mourinho's tenure there. With Liverpool expected to bolster their defence come June, Tomori could be an astute acquisition should Mourinho arrive. Tomori, while unlikely to be a first choice over Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, could provide Liverpool with additional depth in defence. A move to Anfield might also enhance his chances of future England squad selections if he performs well in the Premier League.

Roma's French stopper is another potential recruit for Liverpool, should Mourinho make an unexpected switch to Anfield. Last summer, the Merseyside giants were linked with a free transfer for Ndicka, but he ended up at Roma
