Liverpool are pushing hard to make sure that they do not make the mistakes they committed last summer when it comes to identifying midfield reinforcements for the upcoming transfer window.
The Reds want to sign a defensive midfielder in the winter window but their major incoming business is only likely to happen at the end of the season.
Arne Slot wants more diverse midfield options in his squad and there are suggestions that players such as Wataru Endo and Dominik Szoboszlai could be sold in the upcoming transfer windows to make way for new players.
Liverpool are tracking several players across Europe and the recruitment team are going about their business of firming up their interest in a few select top targets.
Atalanta midfielder Ederson has been on the Liverpool wishlist since last year and according to Corriere dello Sport, the club made recent attempts to sign him only to be rebuffed by the Serie A outfit.
The Reds are ready to fork out a big fee for the Brazilian
Ederson has been putting in stellar performances in Italy for Atalanta and have been on the wanted list of several big European sides.
Liverpool are amongst the teams who are pushing to take him to Anfield but other sides in the Premier League also have their eyes on him.
French champions PSG are in for him and it has been claimed that Liverpool and the Parisians are prepared to spark an auction for the midfielder in the upcoming windows.
Atalanta have so far resisted offers to sell the player but the Serie A side are a selling club and Ederson has a price on his head.
Can you name the club Liverpool sold these players to?
With Liverpool and PSG prepared to pay big money for the player, it is only a matter of time before the Brazilian exits Atalanta, probably next summer.
It seems clear that Liverpool have money to burn after a quiet last summer and they are getting ready to back Slot with big funds to reshape the squad for the coming years.
The Dutchman spent little last summer before turning Liverpool into Premier League contenders this season and now the club are ready to open their chequebook for the manager.
