The Reds have stepped up their efforts to bolster the flanks since Andoni Iraola took over as manager. After Mohamed Salah left as a free agent, they already bought Victor Muñoz from Osasuna.
But the Merseyside team intends to buy at least one more winger, with RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande being their top target. Bradley Barcola, a forward for Paris Saint-Germain, has also been connected to Anfield.
However, as Curtis Jones’ current contract is likely to expire in the summer, Liverpool is also thinking of bolstering the midfield.

According to TEAMtalk, Bouaddi’s recent impressive performances have piqued Liverpool’s interest, and they have already reached out to inquire about the specifics of signing him.
Arsenal is “pushing strongly” to complete the deal by defeating other teams in this race, but Real Madrid and Les Parisiens are also planning a move for him.
The 18-year-old has long piqued the interest of the Gunners, who have been keeping a careful eye on his growth over the past few years. Thus, they are at the head of the line right now.
£60M Price Tag On Bouaddi
Since the player’s current contract is slated to expire in 2029, Lille has put a £60 million price tag on him and are well-positioned to demand a large sum if they are compelled to cash in.
The midfielder won’t make a final choice until the completion of his World Cup campaign, though, as his immediate focus is still on playing for Morocco.
Bouaddi is a right-footed defensive midfielder who stands 6 feet 1 inch tall. He contributes effectively on defense and is swift, powerful, and neat with possession.
