Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp targeting Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic |

Marcelo Brozovic has emerged the latest transfer target for Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp as claimed by Libero.

Brozovic, 27, is one of Seria A’s best performers since his arrival from Dinamo Zagre in 2016 but Antonio Conte’s appointment at San Siro last year has mean the Croatian midfielder is one of sought after players in Europe this season.

Now, with Liverpool planning reinforcements in midfield ahead of next season, Brozovic is considered by the Anfield boss as one man who can help the Merseyside club to achieve its ambitions.

If their campaign in Europe this season is to be highlighted- where they were crushed out of the Champions League in round 16, Liverpool were completely beaten by Atletico Madrid who had the best midfield department when the two giants meet.

This basically outlines the weakness in Liverpool’s midfield combination of Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Georginio Wijnaldum, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Keita, and Klopp wants play smart by strengthening the center of the pitch before next season begins.

The search for reinforcements started last week with a host of midfielders being linked with Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Along the line, there has come a consideration for Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey early this week and the latest report claims Anfield have sight on signing is Brozovic- contracted at Inter Milan until 2022- with Inter pushing him for contract extension.

The 2018 World Cup finalist is believed to already enjoying life in Italy but would consider a potential switch from Seria A to the Premier League.

And Manchester United and City also knee snatching his signature but the Reds are reportedly favorites to secure the signature for £52million as Liverpool have held talks with the Croatia international’s representatives regarding a switch to Anfield.

If Liverpool, who are weighting bids for Partey and Brozovic at the same time, succeed in signing one of them, Naby Kieta would be shown the exit doors at Liverpool.

The Guinean International has struggled to adopt life at Anfield since his reportedly £60million arrival from RB Leipzig in July 2018, but all his low performances are due to injuries.

Despite his Liverpool struggle, Kieta has credited Jurgen Klopp for improveming his football career since arriving from Germany.

Keita told Liverpool magazine, per the Echo: ‘When I arrived I had to try to settle in and be able to integrate with the team. I respect his choices, so I was there to work every day.

‘I think I have now improved a lot, apart from my injuries which have kept me out of several matches.’

‘He is somebody who is able to give you explanations on the field, and that helps a lot and when you play of course you don’t ever doubt yourself. That’s coaching and he sees everything.

‘When you see him on the sideline and you’re on the field, it’s as if he’s playing with you and that gives you a lot of desire to do better.

‘He’s always there for his players, he’s almost like a best friend but he’s a coach who can communicate with all his players.

‘He will always defend his players because for him all the players are the same. There is no difference to him,’ he added.
