Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is expected to have a revamped midfield at his disposal next season.
Liverpool are expected to dive into the transfer market to refresh Jurgen Klopp’s midfield options this summer. But with four current first-team stars set to leave, the Reds already have two options at the club that could be poised to fill the void next season.
Klopp is likely to have a redesigned midfield regiment to choose from in the 2023/24 season, due in part to four
inevitable exits.
With four senior midfield departures in the pipeline, there are two new targets to add quality and numbers to Klopp’s squad. Share your thoughts on the January window so far

Liverpool are reportedly looking to sign both Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund and Matheus Nunes from Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer.
The Reds are eyeing a bold brace to improve Klopp’s midfield, but they could also step in internally to ensure he has the same numbers as this term. Bellingham and Nunes would join Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara, Jordan Henderson, Stefan Bajcetic, Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones in the German manager’s ranks.
Tyler Morton and Leighton Clarkson could also be introduced as the first full-time players to help fill the void left by Arthur, Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Keita. Liverpool’s first team next season. (Image: Getty)
After impressing on loan at Blackburn Rovers in the Championship, Morton could follow Elliott’s footsteps to become a first-team player following a successful spell at Ewood Park.
The 20-year-old plays primarily as a defensive midfielder and is highly regarded at Anfield, as is Clarkson. He has been borrowed from Aberdeen and played a key role in her campaign in Scotland and worked in a more advanced role as a Morton.
Now 21 and soon to have a full season with senior football under his belt, Clarkson is another Klopp that can promote and use in the next season.

According to Deloitte’s Money League report, Liverpool have the second highest salary in the Premier League
Liverpool’s wage bill is expected to rise by £54m when the 2021/22 financial accounts are released after the club signed a number of key players to new contracts.
The Reds are yet to release their full accounts, likely in a few weeks, but the annual Deloitte Money League Report, which details the financial performance of the 20 most revenue-generating clubs in European football, has revealed that the club’s wage bill it had increased from £314m in 2020/21 to around £368m in 2021/22. While the higher wage cost in 2020 and 2021 can be attributed to winning the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League in 2020, where bonuses were paid to players and staff, the increase in 2022 was driven by new contract extensions , including those from Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson Becker, Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Andrew Robertson and Virgil van Dijk, as well as significantly higher newcomer wage bills than those leaving the club.
Whilst the club narrowly missed out on both the Premier League and Champions League titles being beaten in the final by Real Madrid in the latest financial period, the Reds have won both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup. Running so close to quadrupling, it is some of the bonus payments are likely to be included in the increase.

Running so close to quadrupling, it is some of the bonus payments are likely to be included in the increase. The significant increase lifts Liverpool to second place on the Premier League’s list of wage bills, with the largest being Manchester United’s £384m, a wage hike significantly led by the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus at the end of the 2021.
Manchester City are third with £354m, according to the Deloitte report, while Chelsea have £333m.
In terms of payroll efficiency, Liverpool’s 62% turnover ratio is one of the best in the league, albeit driven by the significant increase in turnover recorded in the last financial year. If the income had been the same as last year and the wage bill had remained the same, the ration would have been 75.5%. Success in reaching the final stages of the Champions League coupled with a significant increase in business activity gave Liverpool an opportunity to raise wages.
