Liverpool reacted to last Saturday’s Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid by pushing through a deal for defensive midfielder Fabinho.
And the latest reports indicate the Brazilian could be joined at Anfield by one of his former Monaco team-mates if Klopp gets his way.

And they have revealed the price at which Monaco are willing to do business for the 22-year-old, who’s set to star for France at the World Cup in Russia.
That figure would outstrip the club-record £75m fee Liverpool handed over for Virgil van Dijk.
And it would make Lemar the third summer arrival at Anfield, after Fabinho and the incoming Naby Keita.

Liverpool are also keen to sign an upgrade on goalkeepers Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet.
