#3 Pepe Reina (Milan)

This would be a fairy-tale return for a fan favourite who guarded the Liverpool posts successfully from 2005 to 2013. The man who won 3 Golden Gloves during his time at Anfield could ironically be brought back as an understudy to the current Golden Glove winner.

The 36-year old might be a short-term option for the Reds, but even a season or two out of the Spaniard might do the trick for Jurgen Klopp. With almost 20 years of experience at the top level, Alisson could learn a lot from a personality like Reina.

After leaving Liverpool, Reina spent a year in Germany with Bavarian giants Bayern Munich as an understudy to Manuel Neuer. The German spell was sandwiched in between a highly successful four years in Naples as the first-choice keeper.

Despite signing a 3-year contract with Milan last summer, the lure of Anfield and its fans might just convince the Spaniard to return to England. Currently, Reina plays second fiddle to the talented Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Personally, this would be the transfer I look forward to the most, but in this day and age, where only success matters, the club might go for a long-term option.
