Liverpool are looking to strengthen their midfield, with England midfielder Alex Scott and Senegalese midfielder Ramin Kamara being particularly hot targets. On the 26th, German journalist Florian Plettenberg told Sky Sports that the club acquired French national team forward Bradley Barcola, Spanish national team forward Víctor Muñoz, and Uruguay national team defender Ronald Araujo this summer, and has maintained a strong record of eight wins, three draws and one loss in 12 games under coach Andoni Iraola. Therefore, the team plans to strengthen its midfield for next season.
Plettenberg reports that Liverpool's transfer list includes Bournemouth's Scott and Monaco's Kamara. Dortmund's German national team midfielder Felix Nmecha is also highly regarded, but is said to not be a top priority. As for Scott, Chelsea offered him more than £60 million (approximately 12.6 billion yen) in the summer, but no deal materialized. With Bournemouth also unable to extend his contract, Liverpool appear to have changed their mind and may be open to a move if they receive an offer of £100 million (approximately 21 billion yen) this winter.
As for Kamara, there is a background in which he reached a transfer agreement with Chelsea this summer, so his departure after this winter is attracting attention. If Liverpool decide to strengthen their midfield, it may also affect the departure of Argentine national team midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, whose current contract runs until the end of June 2028, and former Japan national team midfielder Wataru Endo, whose playing opportunities are limited. Liverpool's moves, including this winter's transfer window, will continue to be watched closely.
Liverpool have increased the diversity of their squad by signing a number of international players this summer. By strengthening their midfield, they aim to further strengthen their competitiveness in upcoming league games and European tournaments. Fans and pundits will continue to pay close attention to whether Scott or Kamara make a move this winter, and how that will affect the club's tactical structure.
