Liverpool are understood to be eyeing a move for Real Sociedad’s midfielder Mikel Merino who has previously been linked with a switch to Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp’s Reds are seeking much-needed reinforcements in the centre of the park to bolster an underwhelming midfield roster that could lose out on several big-name players come next summer.
Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner are all out of contract at the end of the season and it remains to be seen whether Klopp would be interested in retaining any of the three midfielders at his disposal.
According to a report from the Spanish news outlet Fichajes ( via The Daily Mirror), it is claimed that the Reds have identified the Liga star Merino as one of their future targets to provide an extra bit of creativity in the Liverpool midfield roster.
The Real Sociedad midfielder has also been on the radar of Premier League side Aston Villa with the Midlands outfit looking to make an approach for his services after his stellar run of displays in Spain’s top flight.
