This season was the last in a Liverpool shirt for outbound midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.
The Dutchman joined the club back in 2016, with his contract running out in the coming months.
With him set to join Barcelona after reaching a verbal agreement, it is likely the club will look for a replacement.
However, despite rumours over a move, The Athletic’s James Pearce has ruled out on midfielder instantly.
According to the journalist, Liverpool are not targeting Brighton’s Yves Bissouma despite recent reports…
The news, as cited by LFCTransferRoom on Twitter clearly states that the Reds will not be making a move for the midfielder.
It was initially believed that the club viewed him as a possible replacement for Wijnaldum but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
One other thing that comes from the report is the situation regarding Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
This morning it was reported that Jurgen Klopp was still faithful that the pair could still make an impact for the Reds.
From what Pearce is saying, Klopp believes that the pair are already adequate enough to fill the void.
Wijnaldum has become a central component to Klopp’s squad, playing 237 games for the club.
Whether the Reds will make a move for a midfielder this summer is unknown.
Bissouma may be ruled out, but there are plenty of other names such as Houssem Aouar and Florian Neuhaus.
Either of the two would be ideal replacements, but only time will tell who the club aim to secure.
