5 attacking midfielders whom Liverpool could have signed instead of Sadio Mane

#5 Isco

Isco has seen his career at Real Madrid come to a halt in recent times

The former Golden Boy award winner has often found playing time limited at Real Madrid and would be welcome to a move away from the Spanish capital. Despite being only 24 years of age, the Spanish International would bring a wealth of experience and a winning mentality to this Liverpool side. He is nimble in movement, very tidy in possession and can weave his way around the opposition with ease.

Isco was involved directly in 13 goals last season, scoring 3 and assisting 10 during the last season. This comes despite him being pushed deeper into the line-up in order to bring defensive stability to the midfield. He could prove to be a great addition to this Liverpool side with his ability to effectively play across the pitch.

Given his abilities, it would be a treat to watch Isco play alongside the likes of Coutinho, Firmino and Sturridge. While the player won’t come cheap, he is still only 24 years with the peak years yet to arrive and would be a massive statement of intent by Jurgen Klopp.
