In a summer that promised so much, things have not gone well for us this season. Liverpool were expected to make a number of big money signings but only Mohamed Salah has come in and we have had to deal with a lot of Philippe Coutinho rumours.
Add to that, Naby Keita does not seem to be coming to our club this season and there is no confirmation that Virgil van Dijk would be coming to Anfield before the close of the window. As things stand, we aren’t going to be any better than last season but one recent rumour claims that we are interested in Real Madrid’s Mateo Kovacic.
The Croatian is looking to play more football ahead of the World Cup and the 23-year-old could be moving away from Madrid in search of that. A report claims that Kovacic has already agreed personal terms with us and that got Twitter buzzing.
Liverpool fans shared their opinion of the 23-year-old possibly signing for us and here are some of the best reactions from the social networking site.
If @LFC get this Kovacic deal done, it takes them from top 4 challengers to title contenders. Especially with the front three ahead of him

Kovacic and VVD would just make our window perfect but it seems far-fetched. #LFC

If we are in for Mateo Kovacic then it better be for not getting Keita. Not want him as Coutinho’s replacement. #LFC

If Barca bid £138M for Coutinho…Just take it! It’s a very good business! & then buy Kovacic from Madrid— Makmur (@4d3m4kmur) August 23, 2017
Torn between “Fuck off Barca” and “Fuck off Coutinho, hello Kovacic and Draxler”, the first just makes me smile, the latter is smart! #LFC

If we Qualify tonight. IN: VVD, Kieta, Kovacic, Ox OUT: Sahko, Lovren, Henderson, Moreno, then Couts on dead line day for 200mil #LFC

IF there was a way that #LFC could sign Keita/Kovačić and Goretzka now then I would let Coutinho go now. Fed up of him.

Not taking Kovacic and Mahrez links seriously..Kovacic if it happens, could only be a loan, Mahrez no chance eh? #LFC

If coutinho goes and we get kovacic, Keita & Ox, I’d have no issues but knowing us…..
