Liverpool are interested in signing Luka Sucic in the summer as Jurgen Klopp eyes additional midfield reinforcements to bolster his options.
According to Football Transfers, Luka Sucic is a target for Liverpool in the upcoming summer window. Jurgen Klopp is keen to bolster his midfield and could view the Croat as an additional option, with the club eyeing a top-level name.
Liverpool could become active in the transfer market when the summer transfer window opens. Jurgen Klopp has faced plenty of criticism for his recruitment in recent windows as the Reds continue to struggle for relevance in the Premier League.
Much of the blame has been put on Liverpool’s midfield for faltering performances this season. The likes of Fabinho, Thiago, and Jordan Henderson have collectively underperformed. Meanwhile, Klopp failed to address those issues in the January window.
Hence, signing midfielders will take precedence in the summer, when Klopp looks to bring at least two new players into the position. While their name remains linked with star names like Mason Mount or Jude Bellingham, the Liverpool boss could eye additional signings in midfield.
Players like Khephren Thuram continue to see their name get linked with a move, but Klopp may look at cheaper alternatives to suffice the need. Red Bull Salzburg’s Luka Sucic has fallen on their radar, and the Croat is seen as a good addition to the side.
Newcastle United were previously interested in the 20-year-old midfield prodigy. But their pursuit has reportedly gone cold. Liverpool could view him as a cheaper alternative to other players, especially in the attacking midfield position. Sucic’s numbers are decent for an emerging player.
The 20-year-old reportedly has a release clause, but the figure remains unknown. Speculation points to a possible €15-20 million clause in his contract, which may be seen as achievable.
Sucic plays in the attacking midfield role but can also feature in central areas. He could develop into a top player under Klopp if the move materialises, as the story suggests talks may have started recently. He will have to fight for his place at Anfield. But his quality suggests there should not be a problem.
