Transfer News: Liverpool eye a move for RB Salzburg’s Luka Sucic
Liverpool, according to Football Transfers via Liverpool Echo, are eyeing a move for 20-year-old Croatian midfielder Luka Sucic from RB Salzburg. The young midfielder has shown tremendous potential and has been impressive for Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League.
Liverpool’s current midfielders have been inconsistent this season, and the average age of the squad is increasing with the likes of James Milner and Jordan Henderson approaching the end of their careers. The need for young midfielders to steer the ship at the club is more pressing than ever, and Sucic seems to fit the bill perfectly.
At just 20 years of age, Sucic has already established himself as a key player for Salzburg. His impressive performances in the Austrian Bundesliga and the UCL have caught the attention of top clubs across Europe, also including Liverpool.
Sucic is an all-round midfielder who can play as a box-to-box midfielder, or as an attacking midfielder which is his natural role. His technical ability could certainly make him an ideal fit for Liverpool’s high-intensity style of play.
New Midfielder for the Reds?
He has four goals and five assists in 23 appearances across all competitions this season and clearly has an eye for goal. The requirement for youthful midfielders to take charge of the club is currently more urgent than ever, and Sucic appears to be a perfect match for this role at the Reds.
The current midfielders at Liverpool have been inconsistent this season, and the team has suffered as a result. Moreover, with the likes of Hendo and Milner approaching the end of their careers, Liverpool needs young midfielders who can step up and make an impact.
Sucic has the potential to do just that, and his addition to the team could provide a much-needed boost to Liverpool’s midfield in the long run as well. In conclusion, Liverpool’s reported move for Sucic is a smart one.
The young Croatian midfielder has shown tremendous potential and could be a valuable addition to Liverpool’s midfield. With the current midfielders at Liverpool struggling for consistency and the average squad age increasing, the need for young midfielders like Sucic is more pressing than ever.

But one must keep in mind that this shouldn’t be the only signing we make this summer to bolster our midfield. Signing a player like Sucic will make sense only if we sign a world-class midfielder that instantly slots into our starting XI. Otherwise, it could be seen as a way for our owners to weasel out of buying this team a new top quality midfielder to bolster its ranks.
