Liverpool need to be active this summer as Jurgen Klopp looks to replenish his once all-conquering squad.

Albeit badly impacted by injury, the Reds suffered a rather disappointing 2020/21 campaign as reigning Premier League champions and will be looking to bounce back immediately next term.

Therefore much is expected in the way of ins and outs at Anfield as Klopp attempts to put together a side ready to challenge once again.

Following the signing of centre-back Ibrahima Konate, Liverpool have reportedly made an offer for AS Roma central midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini.

This is according to a report from an Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, as cited by the Liverpool Echo on Twitter.

The report claims Pellegrini is viewed upon as a replacement for the seemingly Paris Saint-Germain bound Gini Wijnaldum.

Currently away on with the senior Italy squad ahead of the Euro 2020 competition, the 24-year-old is believed to have a release clause in his current contract.

Described as a ‘very intelligent player’ by ex-Roma boss Paulo Fonseca, the 17-cap midfielder contributed 11 goals and nine assists in 47 outings across all competitions in 2020/21.

Signing a £36million valued star for the mooted £25.8millon release clause would be outstanding business from the Reds.

Recently appointed as captain at the Stadio Olimpico, Liverpool would be landing a serious talent from under the nose of new Roma boss Jose Mourinho’s nose.

Credited with an excellent array of attributes – including key passes and interceptions – Pellegrini would have to be viewed as a bargain deal.

Should Liverpool Sign Lorenzo Pellegrini?

Yes
