With Wijnaldum's official move to Paris Saint-Germain, he also became the first first-team player to leave Liverpool this summer transfer window. Although neither the Liverpool fans nor the manager Klopp , they do not want Wijnaldum to leave the team, But for Wijnaldum, he is already 30 years old, and this signing will almost be The last major contract of his career. In this case, it is understandable that he chooses to pursue more lucrative financial returns. and Paris Saint-Germain, who owns Mbappe and Neymar , is not inferior to Liverpool, and Wijnaldum still has the opportunity to challenge the Champions League again in his new owner.
However, for Liverpool, the impact of Wijnaldum's departure on the team's midfield strength is still obvious. As we all know, Wijnaldum may not be the best player on the field, but he must be the most consistent player. , coupled with the fact that he is rarely troubled by injuries, has made Wijnaldum the player Klopp has relied on most over the past season. After Wijnaldum left the team, the midfielders in the Liverpool team include Thiago , Fabinho , Keita , Curtis Jones , Henderson and milner . Among these 6 players, Keita made only 10 appearances last season, and his performance in the limited playing time was completely below Klopp's requirements. The average rating of 6.59 points also accurately reflects his on-field performance. performance on.
Veteran Milner is already 35 years old. Compared with his peak state, Milner now has a significant decline in both running ability and speed. As a 20-year-old young player, Jones played quite well last season, and it is still unknown what heights he can reach in the future. Relatively speaking, the only midfielders Klopp can rely on next season are Thiago, Henderson and Fabinho. However, these three players have all been affected by injuries this season. How much attendance they can guarantee in the league next season is also something Klopp needs to consider. Therefore, such a staffing configuration is likely to continue to make Klopp stretched in the formation of the team in the case of multi-line operations next season.
Looks like Liverpool have already started to reinforce the midfield position. According to transfer expert Florian Plettenberg, Liverpool are keeping a close eye on Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Neuhaus, and the two sides have started formal negotiations over Neuhaus' move to Liverpool. As the core of the midfield of the team last season, Neuhaus played 41 times in the league and the Champions League, scoring 6 goals and sending 5 assists. From the perspective of technical characteristics, Neuhaus has strong technical ability, active defense, and a very good pass. Neuhaus, 24, has become one of the best midfielders in the Bundesliga. has previously reported that Bayern Munich is also very interested in signing Neuhaus. In Klopp's view, Neuhaus would be the natural replacement for Wijnaldum. It is reported that Monchengladbach's psychological expectation for Neuhaus' transfer fee is no less than 40 million euros.
In addition, in terms of Barcelona, because they almost signed Wijnaldum before, but the latter finally chose to move to Paris, which caused a lot of influence to Barcelona. However, compared with the midfield, Barcelona's reinforcement of the defense is more urgent. Last season, the 34-year-old Piccolo only played 18 times in the league due to injury. The team's two central defenders, Langley and Mingesa, did not perform well.Especially Lenglet, he is the defender who has sent the most penalty kicks in the five major European leagues. This performance is far from the requirements of Barcelona's main defense. According to Aspen , Barcelona intends to sign Juventus centre-back Demiral. Last season, Demiral was not the team's main centre-back and only made 15 appearances in the league. Demiral is also dissatisfied with his lack of playing opportunities, and he may seek to leave the team during this transfer period. Demiral's contract with the team expires in three years, and he is worth 28 million euros in the transfer market.
