Everyone connected to Liverpool, including Jurgen Klopp, was aware that a rebuild was required before the summer. There had to be replacements because players like James Milner, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Roberto Firmino would all be going on a free transfer at the end of the 2022–23 season. Nobody anticipated that Fabinho and Jordan Henderson would also go for the riches of the Saudi Pro League, even though those four exits were perfectly anticipated.
The loss of five first-team players in the midfield, which already needed strengthening, put the Reds in a very precarious position. Initial worries were allayed by Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai’s early actions. But more was required. And after Chelsea snatched up Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, they moved to sign Wataru Endo, a 30-year-old international from Japan, from Stuttgart. They also want to make the £34.2 million announcement of the signing of Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich on Transfer Deadline Day.
Is it enough for Liverpool to force their way back into the Champions League or perhaps even challenge Manchester City at the top of the Premier League with four new midfielders and a slew of departures? In any case, a graphic that displays Liverpool’s squad depth, at least through the January transfer window, has surfaced on the club’s Reddit page. Of course, if they can keep Saudi Arabian clubs from pursuing their players while their transfer market is still open.
The best goalie in football right now may very well be Alisson. In the most recent triumph over Newcastle, the Brazilian demonstrated that once more. Caoimhin Kelleher, who isn’t emphasized in the image, has established himself as a very capable No. 2 in recent years, seldom faltering when called upon. Regarding their goalkeeping tandem, Liverpool has nothing to complain about.
