Liverpool are in the market for just a handful of statement signings who can improve the first-team.
The Italy international will offer the Liverpool boss the freedom to be more flexible with his formations, tactics and team selections.
According to the report, “Liverpool are preparing a swap bid for AC Milan captain Alessio Romagnoli. The Italy defender is weighing up his options ahead of the summer market, with PSG said to be keen. However, Tuttosport says Liverpool have made a firm move for Romagnoli and are readying a bid for the stopper. The Premier League champions-elect are set to offer €40m cash plus Naby Keita in exchange for Romagnoli. And it’s an offer attractive for Milan’s incoming coach Ralf Rangnick, who worked with Keita at RB Leipzig.”
