Manchester United and Arsenal have been heavily linked with Greek international and Roma star Kostas Manolas for a long time and now even Liverpool are interested in signing him.
According to Daily Mirror, Liverpool are keen on hiring the services of the highly rated 25-year-old central defender. Klopp sent one of his top scouts to monitor the performances of Kostas and he is impressed big time.
Jurgen Klopp signed two center halves in the form of Ragnar Klavan and Joel Matip last summer.
However, the German boss has so far failed to solve the dilemma at the back and needs more quality in the department.
The former Borussia Dortmund manager sidelined Mamadou Sakho, who is performing at his best with Crystal Palace (on loan). In three games for the Eagles, Sakho has helped the team win all three games without conceding a single goal.
As per the provided Mirror link, Kostas is rated around £35million but two months back, Italian journalist Emanuele Giulianelli reported that Roma value (The Sun) him around £52million.
Manolas is arguably the best defender in the Italian league and his price tag has got to be very high. This season, he has so far featured in 35 appearances for the Giallorossi, who are second in the Serie A at the moment.

One of several weaknesses at LFC is central defence and it must be remedied. Every team who attack us look capable of scoring every time they go forward but we still need a specialist defensive midfielder, a left-back, a winger and a striker. Our lack of sharpness up front cost us against City with chance after chance not taken.
If this guy is the best CB around we need to get him and to Hell with the cost. Mind you, I’d pair him with van Dijk but, then again, I want perfection . . . .
€50 Plus M is a lot of money for a CB and Manolas may be the best CB playing in Italian football
and the reason why he’s valued so high but there are also other excellent CB’s available around
Europe such as Sule or Tah plus de Vrij or Hernandez all ideal partners for Matip but I would like to see
2 x World class CB’s bought in the summer plus a new LB such as Durmisi or Kolasinac and sell Moreno.
What is a must buy position is a DM such as Carvalho or Keita but again if we are buying a LB
That releases Milner who could be a back up DM plus that’s the position I feel should be where Can
Plays as he’s not a CM or a box to box Midfielder.
Then it leaves us needing a LW plus a 2nd Winger who can play both sides to cover injury etc and
Was hoping J Brandt would play until if true is pushing for a move to B Munich.
Finally we also need a minimum of 1 Striker ideally 2 strikers and sell Sturridge while he is still fit
And we can still get a decent price for the guy but who do we go for ? Again personally I am a
Massive Lacazetta fan and think he could do a great job for us and while others go to war over
Aubameyang let us grab Lacazetta plus a second striker as I’m not sure on the future of Ings
After his 2 year may off pretty much and not sure if those injuries will slow him down or let him
Be the striker he once was !!!!
I’m sure Klopp will look at CM and CAM as usually but I will put this out there what about selling
Mignolet and buying a new GK such as Perin or Leno to name just a couple as there seems to
Be a few GK that will become available in the Summer……
Would be interested to hear from others on there picks and positions and whom they would sell
YNWA ps I’m Hoping the Reported €150M that Klopp has available come the summer does not
Include the money he gets back for Selling players as that could take his Transfer pot to over
The €200M mark which will match that of City Utd Chelsea and even Arsenal to spend on
New players
We,LFC really need High quality Goal Keeper and Fast speed lone Striker also… In my opinion,Aubamayung Lewandowsky,Aguero are the striker that LFC needed..
We need LB to help milner play his normal role Liverpool fc we need a top striker
