Liverpool transfer news: Jurgen Klopp plots summer move to thwart Real Madrid
LIVERPOOL are plotting a move for AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, reports claim.
Liverpool are considering a move for Gianluigi Donnarumma
Jurgen Klopp is considering signing a new shot-stopper as he has growing doubts over Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius.
With money left over from the £142million sale of Philippe Coutinho in January, it could be the missing piece to transform the Reds into title challengers next season.
A number of potential targets have emerged including Roma’s Allison and Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland.
Italian outlet Calciomercato claim Liverpool could make a late move to stun Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, who have both been credited with an interest in Donnarumma.
I think what Mignolet’s doing is waiting to see if he can get a game in the World Cup
The 19-year-old, who is represented by Mino Raiola, was the subject of a transfer saga last summer before he put pen to paper on a new deal worth more than £5m a year.
Liverpool legend Steve Nicol suggested last month that his old club should sign the Serie A star.
He said: “To be honest I think Liverpool should go and see if they can either get a No 1 or have somebody who’s on a level with [Loris] Karius.

“[Simon] Mignolet isn’t, he’s clearly the No 2 and I think what Mignolet’s doing is waiting to see if he can get a game in the World Cup.
“[Thibaut] Courtois has had a couple of injury nicks recently and a good World Cup would mean Mignolet is in the shop window and he could get himself a good move.”
Liverpool meanwhile, will be hoping to get the better of Everton in the Merseyside derby later today (12.30pm).
