Liverpool transfer: Liverpool are ‘closely monitoring’ England international during the World Cup

Liverpool are said to be after a midfielder this summer and it appears as though one target may be in the current England squad, in Qatar.

‘Liverpool will be closely monitoring West Ham star Declan Rice and how he reacts to the big-game World Cup pressure, sources have told Football Insider’ – As reported by Football Insider:

‘The Merseysiders are in the market for a marquee midfield signing going into next year, with Rice’s England teammate Jude Bellingham a top target.

‘But Liverpool also have a strong interest in Rice amid the likelihood there will be slightly less elite-club competition for his signature.’

Many Liverpool supporters will undoubtedly be familiar with Declan Rice, and they would welcome him to Jurgen Klopp’s midfield options for the remainder of this season or the following one.

The West Ham player made an impact in his first World Cup match against Iran, but if he is signed, it’s possible that his defensive position won’t work at Anfield.

Jude Bellingham’s name will certainly elicit greater enthusiasm from our followers, but there will probably be fierce competition for his services in the upcoming transfer windows.

There may be some concerns that we don’t spend a lot of money because FSG is said to be selling the team.
