Liverpool reportedly preparing €40m bid for Atlético Madrid midfielder Saúl Ñíguez

This summer could be set to be a busy one for Liverpool in the transfer market.

The club has already seen two players leave in the form of Georginio Wijnaldum to PSG and Liam Millar to FC Basel.

However, the departure of Wijnaldum has left a huge hole in Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI.

This has led to plenty of speculation over a replacement, with a number of talented midfielders linked with the Reds.

Individuals such as Youri Tielemans, Renato Sanches, and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic have been linked to name a few.

However, one of the club’s previous links, Saúl Ñíguez, is being reported by some reliable sources.

According to Spanish media outlet AS, via Goal, the Reds are preparing a €40million bid for the midfielder…

There is no denying that Saúl is an extremely talented midfielder, and he more than fits the bill.

His chances at Atlético last season were cut short at times, with him not happy with his amount of game time.

Liverpool can certainly offer him those starting chances, and in the Premier League and Champions League no less.

At just 26-years-old, the midfielder has plenty left in his career and is definitely the type of player FSG would look at.

Jurgen Klopp has the know-how and knowledge to get the best out of the Spaniard given his role in midfield.

WIjnaldum’s role was unique, box-to-box but with an eye for a goal and incredible ball retention.

The pair boasted very similar statistics last season, as presented by WhoScored, clearly showing that Saúl could be the man for the job.

Hopefully, the club will make the right choice, and there is no denying that could be in the form of Saúl Ñíguez.
