Liverpool are reportedly keeping tabs on Paris Saint-Germain man Leandro Paredes with Jurgen Klopp on the lookout for a new signing to bolster his injury-hit midfield roster.
According to a report from the Italian news outlet Calciomercato, it is claimed that Liverpool are looking to move in for the Argentina international midfielder who is also subject to interest from Serie A clubs.
The likes of AS Roma and Juventus are keen on bringing in Paredes before September 1’s deadline which could play spoilsport to Liverpool’s plans of signing the PSG first-teamer to ease their well-documented injury crisis.
Naby Keita faces an extended spell on the sidelines with a muscle injury with the report of the midfielder coming in aftermath of Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford in another setback to Jurgen Klopp’s side on the injury front.
Klopp already has his midfielders in Thiago Alcantara, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Curtis Jones on the recovery table with the latter rumored to be closing in on a return to the Anfield fold after his pre-season injury.
