Liverpool have already made a few moves that have forced the rest of Europe to sit up and take notice of the Premier League champions. They are set to make another left-field move to snare away a top Serie A midfielder in the upcoming transfer window.
Arne Slot wants to sign a top defensive midfielder this summer to improve his options for next season, as he wants to compete for all major honours.
He turned Ryan Gravenberch into a top defensive midfielder after Liverpool failed to secure a top number 6, but he still wants to sign that elite midfielder this summer.
The Merseyside giants have been keeping tabs on several midfielders ahead of the summer, but they have now sensed an opportunity to secure a top player from Italy.

The Reds want this top midfielder from Italy
Nicolo Rovella has been on loan at Lazio since 20223, and the Serie A giants will sign him on a permanent deal from Juventus in the summer.
However, his performances have attracted the attention of Premier League clubs, and according to Il Messaggero, Liverpool are interested in signing Rovella.
The Merseyside giants have been left impressed with what he has seen from him and love the composure he has shown this season in the middle of the park.
Liverpool believe Rovella is going to be an impressive addition to his squad and give Slot another top option as he pushes for more trophies next season.
Aston Villa are also interested in signing him, but if he moves, Liverpool are expected to lead the race to sign the Italian this summer.
Rovella is happy at Lazio, but the Serie A giants could consider turning a quick profit if a big offer arrives from the Premier League.
