Liverpool have been linked with Serbian international Sergej Milinkovic-Savic for some time now, and we believe they must sign him during the winter transfer window.
Last year, the Reds let Gini Wijnaldum leave for free and sold Marko Grujic. They have not yet replaced the duo.
The Merseysiders were interested in signing a top-tier midfielder during the previous summer transfer window, but they ended up luring an injury-prone Brazilian midfielder in the form of Arthur Melo on deadline day.
The South American star is currently out with a long-term injury, so that loan signing was a complete shambles.
James Milner will turn 37 in January, and it is unlikely that he will be given a new contract to extend his stay at Anfield.
Injury has plagued the likes of Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain throughout their Anfield careers, and both will be out of contract next summer. Do they deserve new contracts? No, I don’t believe so.
Thiago Alcantara is excellent but prone to injury, while captain Jordan Henderson is past his prime and unable to start regularly for Jurgen Klopp.
Fabinho has been our main defensive midfielder, but his form has been highly inconsistent this season. He will be 30 years old next year.
Young players like Harvey Elliott, Fabio Carvalho, and Curtis Jones are promising, but they will need time and experience to improve and make a consistent impact.
As a result, Liverpool must sign a quality and versatile midfielder as soon as possible in order to strengthen their midfield, and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic fits the bill.

Milinkovic-Savic, Sergej
In the summer, the Lazio star was heavily linked with a move away from the Serie A club, but he ultimately stayed.
Last season, the 27-year-old was arguably the best midfielder in the Italian league. He appeared in 37 games and was directly responsible for 22 goals (11 goals and 11 assists).
So far in the current season, the former Genk star has scored 5 goals and provided 7 assists while playing for former Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri.
Liverpool is interested in signing him, and according to the latest reports (La Gazzetta Dello Sport), they have an advantage over Juventus because Lazio’s president wants to sell the creative star abroad.
