Fabrizio Romano Confirms Liverpool Are Making Calls for Midfielder Signings
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano reported that Liverpool Football Club are already making calls for midfielders as they plan their squad under new head coach Andoni Iraola. The club, fresh from a disappointing 2025/26 campaign, is also monitoring the futures of current midfielders Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones.
Liverpool's summer transfer strategy is evolving under Iraola, with the recruitment team actively assessing midfield options. This focus comes alongside the club's well‑documented pursuit of attacking reinforcements.
The existing midfield roster features Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo. These players provide depth, yet the Reds appear to be weighing additional possibilities.
Romano said, “In midfield, there could be movements,” adding that “I would not be surprised if Liverpool go for a new midfielder, it’s a possibility.” He continued, “Liverpool are making some calls for midfielders over the recent days and weeks, so I expect movement at Liverpool in terms of midfielders.”
Klopp urges Liverpool owners to give Iraola time for transition
Mac Allister remains highly regarded across Europe and continues to attract admiration from Real Madrid. Jones is wanted by Inter Milan, and a potential sale would increase Liverpool’s need for additional midfield depth. Among the names linked with a move to Anfield are Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott. Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton is also regularly mentioned as a potential target. Liverpool are also pursuing highly rated winger Yan Diomande as part of their broader attacking overhaul. The continued interest in midfield signings shows the department remains firmly on the club’s agenda. Supporters can expect further developments in the coming weeks as Iraola shapes his squad for the 2026/27 season. The transfer window remains open, and Liverpool’s midfield market activity is likely to continue.
