They might not have succeeded in their efforts but one cannot deny Jorginho’s potential and talent. A defensive midfielder by trade, Jorginho can act as a solid anchor at the base of the midfield.

For a defensive midfielder, these numbers are truly spectacular and he could work wonders for us at Anfield. However, Sport claims that Barcelona are harbouring an interest in the promising Italian.

In recent times, Liverpool have been a force to reckon with in the transfer market. After all, we managed to secure the signing of Virgil van Dijk and Naby Keita and we had to beat a lot of other teams to do so.

It would be great if Liverpool can pull off something similar here as well but to be on the safe side, Jurgen Klopp must have a backup option in mind.
