Liverpool are looking at midfielders across Europe as they plot to rejig their midfield options in the next summer transfer window.
The Merseyside giants are in the market for a defensive midfielder and it is likely to be a priority for the club at the end of the ongoing season.
However, Liverpool are also looking at other midfield profiles as the club are considering overhauling their midfield options ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
Arne Slot hopes to have the opportunity to have his own stamp on the squad next summer after getting little to no help from the club in the last transfer window.
Martin Zubimendi and Orkun Kokcu are some of the midfielders who have been linked with a move to Anfield but the club have their eyes on one more player who has the experience of English football.
The delicious irony is that he graduated from the Manchester United academy but left Old Trafford to prove his mettle away from England.
The Reds are eyeing a move for an ex-Red Devil also wanted at Old Trafford
Paul Ince remains a deeply divisive figure at Manchester United despite being a Premier League winner at Old Trafford due to his decision to later play for Liverpool.
Michael Owen never won back the Liverpool fans after his decision to join Manchester United and one more name could get added to this infamous list next summer.
Angel Gomes has been earning praise for his performances from Lille and has even broken into the England squad.
He was the youngest player to represent Manchester United in the Premier League when he was 16 and was a bright young starlet in their academy.
Manchester United are keen to take him back to Old Trafford next summer on a free transfer but according to TeamTalk, Liverpool are also pushing to sign him.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
Gomes has wowed the Liverpool scouts and the club are extremely keen on getting their hands on him at the end of the season.
Liverpool fans will love him if the England star rejects a return to Old Trafford in favour of rocking up at Anfield.
However, Manchester United hope that his history with the club will eventually help them win the race to sign him on a free transfer.
