# Klopp identifies big money moves to replace Sturridge

Jurgen Klopp is planning moves for either Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang or Inaki Williams to replace Daniel Sturridge in the summer.

As reported by the [Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-set-sell-daniel-sturridge-9711318), Klopp is thought to be ready to sell Sturridge in the summer after losing patience with the player’s inability to maintain his fitness.

Sturridge has been in and out of the Liverpool side under Klopp, who has often preferred using either Divock Origi or Roberto Firmino as a false nine leading the line.

A move for Borussia Dortmund striker, Aubameyang would be somewhat ambitious with the Gabon international being linked with moves to Real Madrid following his fine form in the Bundesliga.

The Reds may struggle to attract a player of his ilk, especially if they fail to qualify for Champions League football.

Out of the two, a move for Williams would be more realistic. A player that has long been linked with a move to Anfield, Williams is seen as one of the finest young prospects in Spanish football.
