Liverpool are in the transfer market for a number 9, and significant funds are expected to be directed towards getting a striker this summer. The Merseyside giants have set their eyes on a Ligue 1 striker as they consider tabling an offer for him in the next window.
The Merseyside giants are closing in on a club-record deal to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen and are already committed to paying £30m for Jeremie Frimpong.
Liverpool are also in talks to sign Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth, which could take their transfer spending close to the £200m mark in the upcoming transfer window.
However, the Reds are still in the market for a striker, and the club are now considering a ‘moneyball’ signing to solve their issues up front ahead of next season.

Liverpool eyeing a Moneyball transfer from Paris Saint-Germain
According to the Anfield Watch, Paris Saint-Germain striker Goncalo Ramos has emerged as an option for the Reds in the upcoming transfer window.
He is seen as a ‘moneyball’ option as there is a feeling that he is not being properly utilised at PSG, where he has made just ten league starts this season.
The Parisians are open to selling him in the upcoming transfer window and are keen to recoup the £55m they spent signing him from Benfica.
The money seems excessive for a striker who is not a starter for PSG, but could be good value for money in a market where strikers are available at a premium fee.
Eintracht Frankfurt wants £84m for Hugo Ekitike, while RB Leipzig are demanding around £80m for Benjamin Sesko this summer.
Ramos is not a top target at Liverpool, but the club are considering him in a summer where they are set to spend a club-record fee on signing an attacking midfielder.
