# Liverpool set to target Valencia’s £36m midfield maestro in January move

Liverpool ended their summer transfer window on a quiet note after completing their business early on.

The Reds [signed French centre-back Ibrahima Konaté](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/05/28/liverpool-sign-ibrahima-konate/) at the start of the window for £36million from RB Leipzig.

Despite a number of players leaving the club throughout the window, he remained their only signing.

The likes of Georginio Wijnaldum, Xherdan Shaqiri, Harry Wilson, and Marko Grujic all [made the move away](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/transfers/verein/31).

One of the biggest expectations was the possibility of a replacement for Dutchman Wijnaldum.

His departure has left a huge hole in the club’s midfield options and is yet to be addressed with a replacement.

Plenty of rumours flew around this summer but a signing was never made, meaning January could prove big.

According to a recent report from [Fichajes](https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/carlos-soler-nuevo-objetivo-liverpool-proximo-verano-20210903.html), the Reds are eyeing up a new target in the form of Valencia’s Carlos Soler.

The Spanish midfielder has been in fine form for the La Liga club after [graduating through their youth system](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/carlos-soler/transfers/spieler/372246/transfer_id/1679997).

Now, at 24-years-old, Soler has become an integral part of Los murciélagos’ success over the last few seasons.

With a current [market value of £36million](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/carlos-soler/marktwertverlauf/spieler/372246), a deal for Soler would no doubt come at a cost for the club.

Not only that but with them reportedly targeting a winter move for the player, his form at the time cannot be known.

Of course, the Reds could swoop in at a key time and secure a great deal for a player in hot form.

Either way, knowing Jurgen Klopp and the way he operates with new signings, Soler would not start instantly.

His role and ability make him a fine replacement for Wijnaldum, with him [starting this season very well](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/carlos-soler/leistungsdaten/spieler/372246).

From their first three games, Soler has managed three goals, with him looking a great player for Liverpool to target.
