According to a recent report from The Athletic's renowned journalist Ornstein, Liverpool Football Club is actively seeking to sign a new No. 6 in order to strengthen the team's midfield for the remainder of the summer transfer window. The decision stems from the club's assessment of its current midfield configuration and its expectations for the coming season.
Reports indicate that Liverpool have rejected a number of offers for existing players in this summer's transfer market, including midfielders such as Koh Endo, mainly because the club wants to focus its resources on finding a new player capable of playing in the No. 6 role. Despite the relative scarcity of players in that position in the transfer market, Liverpool are still trying to push forward the relevant negotiations with a view to completing a signing before the transfer window closes.
Liverpool have been relatively cautious when it comes to player sales. Players such as Van den Berg, Fabio Carvalho, Phillips, Hikaru Endo and Bobby Clarke have all received offers from other clubs, but Liverpool have rejected all of them because the offers did not meet expectations. The club have said that they will continue to stick to their valuation criteria and wait for a more suitable offer to come along.
In addition, players such as Morton and Ben Doc have also attracted attention from other clubs, but Liverpool are not actively seeking to sell these players at the moment. However, as the transfer window gradually closes, the future of these players will become clearer.
