Liverpool may have something of a transfer tug-of-war on their hands should they evolve their interest in Sander Berge into a bid.

It’s rumoured that Jurgen Klopp is a fan of the 24-year-old holding midfielder and with a contract expiring in 2024 it’s more than possible Berge will be considered as a potential target in the summer should an offer fail to materialise in the near future.
Given that the middle of the park has been our main problem area this term, we’d be surprised to hear of no attempts being made before the summer to bolster the department in question.
Jude Bellingham remains our top priority in 2023, though it’s hard to imagine the Englishman being our only potential addition in the market.
