Liverpool have reportedly identified Jose Maria Gimenez as a potential transfer target this summer. The Uruguay international has had a torrid time with injuries in recent seasons, but a fresh start a new club could be on the horizon.

Liverpool will not spend that kind of money unless the player will be a big part of their team.
Given the continual development of Joe Gomez, that is unlikely to be the case.
Lovren has been fourth choice this season and is way down the pecking order after his recent showing at Watford.
He was bullied by Troy Deeney after making a rare start in place of the injured Gomez.
Joel Matip was the first choice partner for Van Dijk last season and was part of the starting line up as the Reds won the Champions League.
Klopp jumped to the defence of Lovren after the 3-0 defeat to Watford and was left furious at the criticism he received after their first Premier League defeat of the season.
“It’s not fair, but that’s the world. If anybody gave Dejan Lovren the blame for our defeat then I can’t help these people," he said.
“A lot of times in my life I speak to people and they know less than I do about football, that’s okay as I’m a well-paid Premier League manager and I should know more than most people.”
