Gini Wijnaldum was a huge success at Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp will be hoping that he can repeat the transfer.
In 2016, Gini Wijnaldum transferred from a relegated Newcastle team to Liverpool, where he went on to have enormous success. The Netherlands midfielder was instrumental in the team’s successes in the Premier League and the Champions League, but many Reds supporters believe that the team’s struggles this season have been caused by their inability to replace Wijnaldum in advance of a pending midfield makeover. Express Sport has looked at five players the Reds may be interested in after their relegation to the Championship was confirmed. The Reds have previously acquired players like Wijnaldum, Andrew Robertson, and Xherdan Shaqiri from fallen sides.
With Liverpool looking at the possibility of multiple midfield additions ahead of next season, the signing of impending free agent Youri Tielemans would certainly appeal to them as they can no longer count on Champions League income.
While the Belgian has not had his strongest campaign since arriving at Leicester, the quality that has previously been on display from Tielemans has undoubtedly earned him a move to a club at the top end of the table – potentially at Liverpool.
While Liverpool may not necessarily be looking at offensive targets as their priorities could lie elsewhere, James Maddison is potentially one of the most talented players to ever get relegated to the Championship and if he is available at the right price, it is unlikely that Jurgen Klopp’s outfit would turn their nose up at the England man.
While Curtis Jones has impressed in the most advanced midfield role after Klopp’s tactical switch in the final few months of the season, few would argue that Maddison isn’t an upgrade on the talented youngster.
