Liverpool Newsnow: Calciomercatoweb reports that Liverpool is planning to acquire Manuel Locatelli in exchange for a number of players. The Reds are prepared to transfer Thiago Alcantara in exchange for the 25-year-old midfielder, in addition to paying the price difference in cash.
Jurgen Klopp, manager of Liverpool, is getting ready for what promises to be a busy summer at Anfield. The Reds’ decline from last season’s dominance has been startling. And if they don’t turn things around soon, they’ll likely end up in the middle of the table.
Liverpool’s downfall may be attributed to a number of factors. Liverpool’s new front three has been ineffective at pushing, and the loss of Sadio Mane hasn’t helped. The team’s weariness after coming so near to a record quadruple last season. Klopp’s seven-year itch, which has plagued numerous of his teams in the past; and injuries to key players.
The consensus among football experts is that Liverpool’s midfield has to be reconstructed. It’s true that Fabinho and Jordan Henderson haven’t been the same players they were last year. In addition, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita, and James Milner will all be free agents come June.
What’s the matter?
According to reports, Klopp wants to add two new midfielders to his squad this summer. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp recently acknowledged in a press conference that the club would no longer pursue No. 1 target Jude Bellingham because of financial constraints.
The team has to come up with a new set of goals for the summer. According to Calciomercatoweb, Khephren Thuram of OGC Nice is now the Reds’ top transfer target. The Ligue 1 club apparently wants at least €44 million to trade the France international. Thus making the transfer hunt difficult in light of the impending competition for his services.

Liverpool Newsnow: This summer, Liverpool and Juventus may work out a deal for Manuel Locatelli in which Thiago Alcantara would join Liverpool
The Reds are interested in Manuel Locatelli of Juventus. But they are hesitant to pay Bianconeri’s €30 million asking price. Instead, they’re thinking of pitching a summer swap deal that would see Thiago Alcantara move the opposite way. The 32-year-old’s role has diminished under Klopp’s watch owing to injuries.
In truth, Thiago has had trouble maintaining his fitness since moving to Liverpool from Bayern Munich in 2020. He has missed the Reds’ previous 10 games due to a hip injury. The veteran has missed 60 games for Liverpool due to injury or sickness. So he may be traded this summer, a full year before the end of his contract.
Will the move go through for Liverpool?
They really need reinforcements in the centre of the field. A dynamic midfielder like Locatelli may be the answer. The Reds would prefer a clean exchange with Juventus for the 25-year-old Italian international since it would be the most cost-effective option.
The Turin giants have a soft spot for the Spanish veteran playmaker. But they may believe there is a discrepancy in their values due to the players’ ages. At the end of the study, it is said that the ‘concept of an exchange’ between Liverpool and Juventus ‘is at least something to ponder on’ and should not be completely discounted.
