Klopp ‘tells’ Ward ‘exactly what he requires’ in midfielder as Liverpool ready €100m move

According to reports, Jurgen Klopp has already told Julian Ward ‘exactly what he requires’ before Liverpool target a new midfielder in 2023.

Liverpool have signed three new players this summer. Fabio Carvalho joined them from Fulham before they paid a significant fee to sign Darwin Nunez from Benfica.

The Reds have now paid an initial £4m to sign Aberdeen youngster Calvin Ramsay.

‘So long, Sadio Mane’, say Liverpool. But here comes Darwin Nunez and he’s s*** hot…

Klopp’s side have been linked with several centre-midfielders but they are set to wait until next summer before bringing a new one in.

Julian Ward is now Liverpool’s sporting director. According to The Mirror, ‘the Reds will spend the next 12 months stepping up their search for a world-class midfielder’.

They add that ‘Klopp has told Ward exactly what he requires’. The respected manager wants ‘a young, multi-functional operator with technique and athleticism in equal abundance’.

It is acknowledged in the report that Borussia Dortmund starlet Jude Bellingham ‘ticks all the boxes for Klopp and Ward’.

It was reported back in May that Klopp is attempting to persuade Bellingham to move to Liverpool. It is understood that the 19-year-old will cost clubs €100m next summer.
