However Jurgen Klopp, after increasing speculations confirmed that his side are not in the market for a new midfield player.
He told Sky Sports : "There is no need for a new midfielder. We cannot just add on midfielders. We respect the contracts with our boys as well, that means as long as we signed them they get all our support – in training, between the sessions, during the games and between the games."
Liverpool have in the past few days pushed eagerly for Portuguese midfielder Matheus Nunes, they reportedly reached a personal agreement with the player last week.
Nunes is now expected to arrive Liverpool and pen a five-year contract following a €50million fee agreement with Sporting CP, insiders have disclosed.
