Until before the World Cup, the Reds' attack had found that offensive stability in both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, but even though the goal-scoring unit was not lacking, the intermittency of Darwin Nunez and the possible departure of Roberto Firmino made Jurgen Klopp look for potential reinforcements who played for his national team in Qatar, noting that in Group G there was a very interesting element from Serbia that he followed up.

Although Serbia failed to even win a game, let alone qualify for the last 16, the Liverpool boss was watching the country's attacking unit for what their attacking play could do, with the Juventus player Dusan Vlahovic's great interventions in a dramatic clash with Switzerland catching his eye.

Vlahovic's appearances for both club and country have led Klopp to put him on his wish list to strengthen his team in the not too distant future, as Anfield see the Serbian fulfilling to the letter all the requirements a player needs to play for Liverpool, with his young age, his eye for goal and his vast experience at the highest level being the main attractions that could surpass what Darwin Núñez and Erling Haaland himself have done so far.

With a huge responsibility as one of the main strikers of institutions such as Fiorentina and now Juventus, Dusan is used to constant pressure, responding in a spectacular way with goals that have meant his consolidation in Italy in just 5 years, surpassing since his arrival in Serie A the 65 goals with the 2021-202 season as his best year with 20 goals in 24 games with an average of 0.83 goals per game, a statistic that is very similar to those used by Haaland.

Klopp goes for Vlahovic

Although today the Manchester City player is a more complete attacker and has a better footballing moment, the Serbian player could have the opportunity to be more revealing in a bigger team in European football, perhaps being able to stand out alongside players like Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, potentiating that great goalscoring instinct that has failed Núñez so much in almost 5 months of being already a Reds player.
