He is the best player in Spain, he is fed up with his team and wants to play for a big club like Liverpool

Since Liverpool's season kicked off, much has been said about Liverpool's midfield and who should be the players arriving and leaving the club in the coming transfer windows, with the arrival of Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund a big rumour, although rumours of a second option have also started to emerge.

The rumour from Spain is that the Reds boss could be interested in taking Atletico Madrid midfielder Marcos Llorente to England, as after finishing last in the Champions League group stage, the Spanish club needs to recover from a major financial blow, so selling one of their players could be the most viable option to stay in the competition.

Given such a scenario, the Red and Whites could tempt Liverpool with their midfielder if Dortmund's English gem decides not to go to Anfield, making Llorente's arrival attractive as he is a proven midfielder in two of La Liga's best teams in recent years. At 27, his roles as CM and CAM would help Jürgen Klopp, who is looking not only for stability in that sector of the pitch, but also for a player who can adapt to an attacking system.

The Liverpool boss is well acquainted with the Spain international, as in the 2020 UEFA Champions League season, Marco Llorente scored a brace at Anfield to knock the Reds out of the competition. Although the Spaniard is talented enough in that midfield to be a benchmark at Liverpool, his standards have been slipping of late as he has been placed by Diego Simeone as either RM or RB.

Marcos Llorente could join Liverpool

Although Atletico Madrid previously rejected any kind of overtures for their player, his current situation could change their mind and price his exit from the club at a price of £104.5 million, as the 27-year-old Spaniard still has a contract with the Colchoneros until the summer of 2027.
