Josko Gvardiol, who is also allegedly the subject of interest from the Anfield-based outfit, would tick a lot of boxes for Jurgen Klopp’s men, though RB Leipzig’s asking price will realistically be considered prohibitive in light of the financial might that will be required to sign Jude Bellingham.

Certainly, whilst FSG continues to hold the reins, fans shouldn’t be expecting the kind of absurd spending levels associated with the likes of Manchester City or Chelsea.

That being said, we’ve managed perfectly well under our current self-imposed restrictions in recent years and, hopefully, the club can soon install a new sporting director to replace Julian Ward ahead of the summer and ensure we have the appropriate tools in place to be making the best decisions possible in the market.
