With Liverpool's playing time and the ageing of key players in midfield, head coach Jürgen Klopp is seriously considering bringing in young players in the next transfer window to inject competition and be the immediate future of a club that has not got off to the best of starts in the Premier League. The Reds are out of the European places, currently in 9th position, 15 points behind the leaders.

The latest reports from the Netherlands suggest that the Merseyside outfit have been keeping a close eye on PSV's Ibrahim Sangaré, who is a defensive midfielder, and is an important part of the 'Farmers' scheme due to his energetic style of play, which has caught the eye of big clubs in Europe, such as FC Barcelona and Chelsea FC.

If Liverpool are to land the 24-year-old Ivorian, they will have to engage in a financial battle for a reported £25million, according to Diario Sport of Catalonia, who also revealed that Blaugrana coach Xavi is keen to bring him to Los Culés in the next transfer window.

Sangaré could be the replacement of Fabinho who is not living a good moment. Also among those reports are the names of Jude Bellingham and Nico Barella, players who would take over the mantle from legends Jordan Henderson, Thiago Alcantara and James Milner, who have been ageing injury targets with longer recovery times.

Ibrahim Sangaré came through the ranks at AS Denguélé in his homeland in 2015, where he made the leap to Europe after being spotted by people from Ligue 1 side Toulouse who took him to their academy to continue his training until giving him the opportunity to make his first team debut, where he showed his quality, where he quickly attracted the attention of Dutch giants PSV who signed him in 2020.
