da dobrowin: As reported by Portuguese outlet A Bola, Liverpool have opened discussions to bring Sporting Lisbon defensive midfielder William Carvalho to Anfield this January.
What’s the story?
da roleta: Recently in Lisbon to negotiate the dissolution of Lazar Markovic’s loan at Sporting, Liverpool officials are reported by A Bola to have also been there to start discussions about bringing Carvalho to the Premier League.
The story says that the Reds are determined to bring the midfielder to Liverpool but will have to spend more than £25m to land their man.
The man for Liverpool?
There’s no denying Liverpool’s midfield is chock full of attacking but they’re lacking balance in the middle of the park and that’s something that Carvalho could provide.
The EURO 2016 winner is a strong defensive option at the heart of Sporting Lisbon’s midfield and has excelled both at league and Champions League level this term.
The Portugal international has fantastic experience for a 24 year old having made close to 200 professional appearances at club level and having won 29 caps for his country.
He’s a man who has the ability to come in and compete for a first team place at Anfield straight away, as Klopp looks for a way to stop the flow of goals at the wrong end.
