It’s no secret that Liverpool are looking for a midfielder this summer, and it appears that one target may be in the current England squad in Qatar.
‘Liverpool will be closely monitoring West Ham star Declan Rice and how he reacts to the big-game World Cup pressure,’ according to Football Insider.
‘The Merseysiders are looking to sign a marquee midfielder for next season, with Rice’s England teammate Jude Bellingham a top target.
‘However, Liverpool are also interested in Rice, owing to the possibility of less elite-club competition for his signature.’
Declan Rice is undoubtedly a player that many Liverpool fans are aware of and would welcome as part of Jurgen Klopp’s midfield options in the second half of this season or next.
The West Ham player impressed in his first World Cup appearance against Iran, but his defensive role may not be one that he can play at Anfield if he is signed.
Hearing the name Jude Bellingham will likely pique our supporters’ interest, but there will most likely be stiff competition for his signature in the coming transfer windows.
With FSG’s possible sale of the club, there may be some concern that we do not spend large sums of money.
