Liverpool hoped to start the new Premier League season on Saturday afternoon with three points and no injuries. , football is not so simple.
Jurgen Klopp's side played 2-2 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage. To make matters worse, they lost Thiago Alcantara to injury. He is expected to miss about six weeks with a hamstring problem, leaving the Reds short on midfield positions.
Alex Oxlade He Chamberlain also has a sore hamstring, while Curtis his Jones is treating a calf injury. Naby Keita is close to returning to fitness after signing with Covid, but Klopp may need to enter the transfer market as a short-term solution to this dilemma.
In the long run, Jude Bellingham would be an ideal deal for Liverpool. The England international at 19 is already a top central he's a midfielder and hopefully he'll get better with age. Still, he wants to stay at German side Borussia Dortmund for at least one more season.
Mateus Nunes is also a player mentioned. Sporting He's a Lisbon star The 23-year-old is a fine young midfielder but is believed to cost £51million.
Finding short-term solutions is difficult, especially for the so-called 'Top 6' clubs. ButLeicester's midfielder Uri Ti Lemans may be the answer. The 25-year-old has 11 months left on his contract and just what he could get for £25million.

Thielemans is also old enough to be affected by Klopp's coaching and will only appreciate if Liverpool get him on the cheap. The Reds could sell the Belgian player for a profit within his 12 months and use the cash to fund Bellingham's move.
Some Liverpool fans are against signing a new central midfielder, which is understandable. Klopp is keen to give Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones a chance, but it's a risky move with both players struggling with injuries.
There are also questions about whether Elliott is destined to become a central midfielder. The 19-year-old has shown promise as a winger and Klopp may decide to make him a long-term understudy for Mohamed Salah instead of Thiago.
Liverpool must be ready for the season ahead. They appeared in every official match last season, and in total he has appeared in 63 games, and we expect to see something similar this season. In fact, the Reds could end up playing 64 games, considering they won the Community Shield. }
Based on his age and contract, Thielemans is an ideal option for Klopp's side. He will become a capable agent for Thiago and the Reds could benefit him in the future.With Liverpool's growing injury list, a deal for Tielemans is worth the risk.
