However, it seems that Al Hilal has emerged as the front-runner for his signature. The lure of a new challenge and the financial package on offer may be the deciding factors in Milinkovic-Savic’s potential move to the Saudi Arabian side.

While Milinkovic-Savic may not be making the move to Merseyside this time, there are plenty of talented players out there who could potentially add value to Klopp’s side.
