Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool have reportedly re-identified Real Madrid man Fede Valverde as the player to revamp their midfield.
Liverpool have steadily seen the average age of their squad increase in recent seasons and efforts to combat that this summer through the acquisition of a young midfielder, namely Aurelien Tchouameni, fell flat.
However, according to Spanish publication AS, Liverpool have identified the Frenchman's Uruguayan team-mate Valverde as the man to bolster their midfield options.

Indeed, the report states that Liverpool had been willing to part with £85m this summer to add Valverde to their ranks but Real Madrid's sale of Casemiro to Manchester United scuppered any potential of a deal.
Liverpool ended up acquiring Arthur Melo from Juventus on a short-term deal.
