Inter Milan player Klopp wants to fill Liverpool's midfield role

Despite links with Jude Bellingham, Matheus Nunes and Nicolo Barella – a new target has emerged in the form of Hakan Calhanoglu of Inter Milan. Fans will remember him for his performances against the Reds in the Champions League last season.

He was one of the only players capable of driving Milan up the pitch and impressed on the ball across the two-legged tie. What you might not know is Calhanoglu was responsible for one of the best free kicks of all time; his incredible 41-metre knuckleball strike is absolutely out of this world.

Caliciomercatoweb claim that Klopp is looking to ‘fish in Italy’ for a replacement and Calhanoglu is certainly a target. Calhanoglu – who’s valued by Transfermarkt at £31.5M – was signed on a free transfer by Inter Milan following four years at AC Milan.

He has experience playing almost anywhere from central midfield all the way up to a false nine but was predominately used as a central midfielder with a license to roam and express himself. This saw him record 13 assists and eight goals in all competitions last season in an impressive campaign and he would add a different dynamic to Liverpool’s midfield.
