Former Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be on the verge of joining a new club after receiving offers from Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the United States
Liverpool’s need for a new central midfielder has intensified after Alexis Mac Allister suffered a knee injury on Wednesday.
The Argentina international picked up the complaint during Liverpool’s 4-3 defeat to Bayern Munich in Singapore. It’s hoped the injury isn’t serious, with Jurgen Klopp telling reporters: “He could have played on… There’s no need to push him through.”
Regardless of Mac Allister’s fitness, the incident is a reminder to Klopp to sign a central midfielder. He’s lost five players who can occupy the role this summer in Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Although Liverpool have brought in Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, another central midfielder – preferably a defensive-minded one – is a priority for Klopp. With that in mind, here are the latest transfer rumours from Merseyside.
