Jurgen Klopp could capitalize on Liverpool's recent transfer move as he looks to strengthen the Reds' midfield this summer.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will miss midfielder Manuel Ugarte's target when Paris Saint-Germain completes a big-money move. However, the Reds could capitalize on a one-of-a-kind situation at the Parc des Princes by rekindling an earlier interest in Renato Sanches.

The Merseyside team sent scouts to watch the 22-year-old play earlier this month, although recent developments suggest they are not alone. According to reports from Portugal and France, PSG have now agreed personal terms with Ugarte and they are close to finalizing the deal by activating his £52m release clause. Klopp is said to have plenty of other targets to aim for, and one more could have been added to the list.
Sanches has struggled to find game time against the Parisian, with whom he has only started five Ligue 1 matches all season.
