Liverpool are in the market for creative midfielders this summer as Arne Slot want more flair and creativity in his team next season. However, the Reds are falling behind in the race to sign an absolute creative monster in the upcoming transfer window.
Slot is focused on improving the team’s forward line and creativity in midfield, despite the Reds wanting to bring in defensive reinforcements as well.
Liverpool’s interest in Florian Wirtz shows the club’s ambition, but the Merseyside giants are also looking at market opportunities to bring in top young players for relatively small fees.
However, the Merseyside giants are facing the threat of losing out on a top young creative midfielder due to interest from several other Premier League clubs.
Name the team Liverpool signed these players from in the 2010s
Crystal Palace have their eyes on a French sensation
Rayan Cherki has scored 12 goals and registered 20 assists in all competitions this season, which has made him a wanted player this summer.
Liverpool have been keeping tabs on him, and the French attacking midfielder wants to move to Anfield if an offer is made.
However, according to Fichajes, Crystal Palace are pushing hard to secure a deal for the Lyon attacking midfielder in the upcoming transfer window.
Palace are expecting to lose their FA Cup hero Eberechi Eze, who is almost certain to move on from Selhurst Park this summer.
The Eagles have identified Cherki as his potential replacement, and see this as an opportunity to sign a top attacking midfielder for a reasonable fee.
Cherki has a year left on his contract, and Lyon are expected to sell the player for a fee in the region of £19m in the upcoming transfer window.
Palace believe they can convince the player to move to Selhurst Park, especially with them in the Europa League next season.
