Liverpool have Boubacar Kamara on their list of potential midfield targets, as Jurgen Klopp still has to replace outgoings.
According to The Athletic, Liverpool are interested in Boubacar Kamara as Jurgen Klopp looks for replacement midfielders. The Aston Villa star is one of the Reds boss's favorites, with Crystal Palace's Cheick Doucoure also among the Reds boss's favorites.
Liverpool’s transfer priorities were clear at the start of the window, and they made a solid start with AlexisMacAllister. Jurgen Klopp had to rebuild his midfield with new options that replaced some departing stars and improved quality.
However, in recent weeks, things have drastically changed following reports of many departures. Klopp would have stopped at Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, but now three more midfielders could depart.
Klopp may have wanted to focus on bringing in an additional defender before the window closed and then keep that group intact. Instead, he’s now looking at new midfield options. At the time of writing, Al Ettifaq had agreed on a deal for Jordan Henderson. He will leave their training camp to finalize a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, Fabinho remains linked with a move to Saudi Arabia and was left out of their pre-season tour. Losing those two and potentially even Thiago Alcantara would leave Liverpool short of experience in the middle, which might become a source of concern.
Boubacar Kamara has been a revelation for Aston Villa
Chieck Doucoure remains a target to replace Fabinho, but Klopp may need more than one player before the window closes. Now, whether as an alternative to the Crystal Palace star or an addition, Aston Villa’s Boubacar Kamara emerges as a target.
The Frenchman arrived on a free transfer from Marseille last summer and had a decent first season in England. Under two managers at Villa, the 23-year-old star has been a regular starter and has sparked the interest of Liverpool.
The Reds are also keen on Leon Goretzka and others, including Romeo Lavia. However, the reason for chasing the 23-year-old star could be his potential asking price, as Liverpool might consider him a cheaper alternative to other targets.
Whether they are serious about the Villa star remains unclear, but the Frenchman certainly fits their profile. For now, they could finalize the sales of Fabinho and Henderson while also considering offers for Thiago. This will enable them to then shift their attention towards the latest arrivals.
