Liverpool are to overhaul their squad this summer, with the first two transfers already set.
Liverpool have already made their first two summer signings, with more expected to follow.
After missing out on Champions League football this season, the Reds appear to be in for a major summer reconstruction. According to recent sources, Liverpool cannot afford to fight for Jude Bellingham for nine figures, thus the club has shifted its focus to cheaper sums for a few more players.
Jurgen Klopp is thought to want to bring in at least two midfielders for next season, shutting out a move for Borussia Dortmund’s Bellingham. The first two signings appear to have been finalized as well.
According to the Express, Alexis MacAllister and Ryan Gravenberch will be the first two talents to join the Reds this summer.
According to the Dutch newspaper Telegraaf(opens in new tab), representatives of Bayern Munich star Gravenberch met with Liverpool executives in Amsterdam to negotiate a trade just a year after the Dutch midfielder joined the Bundesliga champions. Though Bayern have denied that they are open to deals, the teenager has battled to establish himself as a regular starter ahead of Leon Goretzka and Joshua Kimmich.

Mac Allister, meanwhile, looks certain to depart Europe-chasing Brighton & Hove Albion following interest from Premier League rivals. In his Daily Briefing, Italian journalist and prolific transfer expert Fabrizio Romano(opens in new tab) confirmed that, “Alexis Mac Allister and his camp consider a summer move away from Brighton as 100% guaranteed,” with Liverpool a suitor.
With Gravenberch thought to be worth £25 million to Bayern and Mac Allister pushing £60m, Klopp could feasibly do deals for both with the Bellingham money and have enough funds left over for another player.
