Breaking news, Liverpool could sign La Liga champion for less than 20 million, surprises everyone

Our Liverpool continues to search for midfielders who can strengthen the team before the start of the new Premier League season, which begins for our team in less than two weeks when we have to face Chelsea. That is why, because of the urgency, Liverpool has begun to look for more viable alternatives that can offer Jürgen Klopp the squad depth needed to compete in the top positions of the league.

It has been said and can be confirmed that Romeo Lavia is currently Jürgen Klopp's top priority to reinforce the team's midfield, however Southampton is asking £50 million for the 19-year-old defensive midfielder and it seems that Liverpool is not willing to pay that amount for him, as according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri the Anfield board already made what would be their third and final offer to sign him, which would be £40 million plus add-ons.

However, several reports claim that Liverpool do not want to sign only one midfielder, but two and a defender would be Klopp's targets before the summer transfer window closes. In that sense, it has been reported that our Liverpool could make an offer to FC Barcelona, the current La Liga champions, for one of their players, whom they could sign for a very affordable price. We are talking about Franck Kessié, the 26-year-old Ivorian midfielder who has won championships in Spain and Italy.

How much is Barcelona asking for Kessié?

According to the Spanish newspaper SPORT, Liverpool is considering making an offer for Franck Kessié, because according to this source the player is looking to leave the club and due to its economic problems in terms of the wage bill Barcelona is looking to get rid of players so they would only ask 15 million euros for him.
