Liverpool have reportedly identified three midfielders they are interested in as possible replacements for Georginio Wijnaldum this summer.
The Dutchman looks set to leave Anfield on a free transfer at the end of the season after failing to agree terms on a new contract.
He has been a key figure in Liverpool's rise to the summit of domestic and European football under Jurgen Klopp since joining from Newcastle but looks likely to depart with a host of European heavyweights interested.
Barcelona, Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain are all said to be keen on the 30-year-old, who would represent a low cost, excellent piece of business for one of those clubs.
Klopp will need to enter the transfer market for a replacement once Wijnaldum leaves and Goal has claimed Florian Neuhaus, Houssem Aouar and Yves Bissouma are all under consideration.
Borussia Monchengladbach star Neuhaus has won plenty of plaudits this season after an excellent breakthrough campaign under Marco Rose.
The 23-year-old, who has a release clause of £35million in his contract, has also attracted the attention of Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, as well as Bayern Munich, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund.
Lyon's Aouar is another player with admirers across the continent. The Frenchman was particularly close to joining Arsenal last summer but the Gunners opted to sign Thomas Partey from Atletico Madrid instead.
Aouar has been linked with a move away from Lyon for numerous transfer windows but a deal has always failed to materialise.
Like they did with Wijnaldum, Liverpool could turn their search for his replacement to a player in the Premier League in Brighton's Bissouma.
The 24-year-old is attracting interest from Arsenal, Liverpool and even Real Madrid.
Seagulls boss Graham Potter admitted recently he is capable of playing in the Champions League and conceded his time at Brighton is probably coming to an end.
With plenty of Premier League experience, Bissouma could be a ready-made replacement and may not command as greater fee as the other two targets.
Wijnaldum will not be the only big-name exit from Anfield this summer with the likes of Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri both expected to leave to free up transfer funds.

Sie sprechen definitiv Fakten, aber wir können spieler leider nicht für immer halten, weil die meisten von ihnen "den nächsten Schritt" machen wollen. Wie Neuhaus und Zakaria zum Beispiel. Aber unser Scouting ist wirklich gut, weil wir Neuhaus, Zakaria, elvedi, Ginter, Sommer geschnappt haben, als sie jung waren und sie jetzt anschauen (do am und möglicherweise Kone nächstes Jahr nicht vergessen)
Diese Saison ist nicht die beste für Sie in der Liga, aber ich bin mir sicher, dass Sie in der nächsten Saison in die Top 4 kommen und wieder UCL spielen werden. Ihr Team kann in der nächsten Saison die Europa League gewinnen. Ich habe immer noch Angst, dass Ihr Team in der UCL ein Comeback feiern kann, da Sie wissen, dass Manchester City in der UCL den Fokus verlieren kann, aber ich hoffe, dass mein Team gewinnen kann, da ich sicher bin, dass Sie hoffen werden, dass Gladbach ein Comeback feiert.

Sie Kerle erhalten mehr gute Spieler, die das Geld, das Sie bekommen, wenn Sie Ihre Spieler verlassen werden, aber wenn Sie wollen, um zu gewinnen Trophäen, die Sie haben zu halten, um einige Spieler , Sie können nicht wie dortmund , gladbach muss besser sein, als gierig clubs wie dortmund . Die Entwicklung der Spieler und dann verkaufen Sie ist nicht eine gute Idee, wenn Sie wollen, um Herausforderung für Trophäen

Is Elvedi a good player???
Yes him and Ginter are a fantastic duo Sometimes I like him more than Ginter. He's kinda slow but he is really really good at marking the opponent, rarely fouls and he's very calm. And his pass accuracy is insane (last 2 or maybe 3 years his passing was like 95%)Im always calm and not panicked at all when i see elvedi with the ball or when I see him defending 1 on 1 because he's really good. Plus he's very good at headers he can score goals

He has been an outstanding member of the team and one of the most consistent players of Liverpool. I wish we could keep him but it does not seem likely. We will never forget his services at the club.

No to Bissouma, we don't need anymore African Key players. We are already gonna lose Mane and Salah to Afcon next year January to February. We will be at a disadvantage.
