Liverpool report: 'remarkable' wonderkid midfielder in talks over move

Liverpool are deep in talks with a "remarkable" midfield talent over a summer move.  After the recent reports that Liverpool can't afford to compete for Jude Bellingham, a

host of midfield talents have been linked with the Reds instead. Jurgen Klopp is expected to make sweeping changes to his squad this summer following what may end up as his worst season at

Anfield.  The Merseysiders are expected to sign more than one player for the centre of the park – and are now said to have moved on from the Bellingham interest after staging talks with one

target who may cost as little as £25 million.  You may like Dutch outlet _Telegraaf_ have claimed that Anfield officials have already met up with representatives of Bayern Munich star Ryan

including Premier League legend Jaap Stam, who called the player "remarkable" in an interview with _TuttoJuve_ last year.  Given that Liverpool were hoping to sign two midfielders

this summer, spending less than £30m on one would give them the opportunity to go out and buy a bigger name for more.  The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox
