Liverpool keep a close eye on€45m-rated La Liga midfielder

Atletico Madrid star Marcos Llorente is the latest footballer on Liverpool’s radar as we enter the final few days of the 2022 summer transfer window. A central midfielder, Spain international is also capable of doing a job as a right-back or a right wing-back.

The Reds are currently going through a crisis of sorts both on and off the field. The Merseyside giants have picked up only two points from their first three PL matches following their defeat to Man United and are also experiencing several injury setbacks.

Thiago limped off on an opening day and is now on the sidelines with Oxlade-Chamberlain and Keita. With Fabinho woefully out of form and Henderson struggling to make a difference, the Reds are short of reliable options in the middle of the park.

The chorus for the Reds to sign a new midfielder is growing louder, and with days left before the summer transfer window shuts, it is now or never. The latest player to be linked with a move to Anfield is Marcos. Llorente has been a crucial figure for Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid and impressed with Liverpool in 2020/21.

The 27-year-old midfielder scored twice in a famous 3-2 win and silenced Anfield. The Spanish midfielder could soon don the famous red jersey of the Reds if everything goes according to plan. His days in Spain appear to be numbered, and despite having a deal until 2027, the Spaniard could be on the move.
