Liverpool's boss Jurgen Klopp has been on the lookout for a replacement for their former superstar Phillipe Coutinho since his ยฃ142m January move to Barcelona, and now it appears he has finally found his man.
The Reds have coped very well without the Brazillian magician, as Mo Salah continued with his sensational debut campaign and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain stepped up in the Brazillian's absence, but Klopp still wants a world-class replacement and French media outlet RMC, is claiming that the Reds have struck a deal thought to be in the region of ยฃ62m with the Ligue 1 side.
According to the same reports, former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier has played a part in the deal, as he holds a role as an advisor to Jean-Michel Aulas, Lyon's president.
The reports claim that Houllier travelled to England a few weeks ago to help the two clubs in question conclude a deal for the French international midfielder.
If the deal does go through he'll be Liverpool's second arrival this summer after they have already sealed the transfer of star midfielder Naby Keita from RB Leipzig.
The 24-year-old has had another impressive campaign with the French giants this season scoring 22 goals and assisting a further 7 in 38 matches in all competitions.
The Reds only have one Premier League game remaining this season before their big Uefa Champions League final tie against Real Madrid on the 26th of this month.
Klopp is building an exciting team. Still think they need to add more quality to that defense. Keita will be a good addition but if they are to lose Emre Can, will need to sign another center mid I feel as they are showing now they have some depth concerns there.
One has to wonder how large the offers they get for Salah in the summer will be from the likes of Real.
Sry for the late reply mate, was really busy this week and did not have enough time for Steemit. He is indeed ! The progress that the team has made since he took charge is considerably big. Keita will be fantastic but as you have remarked they do need another central midfielder, preferably an attacking minded one as they have not bought in a replacement for Coutinho yet.
We'll have to see what happens with Can, there are now strong rumours that he will stay. It will be very important for The Reds to resist any offers for Salah, as it would be almost impossible to find a suitable replacement, and it won't look good on Liverpool if they do sell, especially after just one season.
