TERMS AGREED: Liverpool gives greenlight to complete signing for £70m PSG Superstar as Jurgen Klopp wants him at Anfield to replace Saudi targets

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool may need to sign a new holding midfielder this summer – with club icons Jordan Henderson and Fabinho both wanted by teams in Saudi Arabia

Liverpool have already signed Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai this summer – with more players expected to arrive.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are keen to return to the Champions League as soon as possible after finishing fifth in the Premier League last season.

They are the favourites to win the Europa League next term, a tournament West Ham and Brighton have also qualified for.

Liverpool have enjoyed plenty of success since Klopp became their boss in October 2015.

They’ve won every trophy they’ve competed for, except the Europa League. The Reds lost 3-1 to Sevilla in the 2016 Europa League final, just months after Klopp’s arrival.

Liverpool want Verratti
Liverpool are interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti, according to The Guardian.

It’s claimed the Reds will consider swooping for the Italy international, 30, if Jordan Henderson and Fabinho leave Merseyside for Saudi Arabia.

Al-Ettifaq has agreed a £12million fee with Liverpool for Henderson, 33, with a £700,000-a-week contract on the table, while Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad want to sign Fabinho, 29, in a £40m deal. Both transfers hang in the balance.

Verratti is one of the most respected midfielders in Europe after playing more than 500 first-team games and winning 32 trophies – including nine Ligue 1 titles and Euro 2020. Yet PSG will only sell him if the price is right. It’s believed they want £70m
