5 Emre Can replacements Liverpool could target this summer

#3 Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (Lazio)

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has been linked with Manchester United, but could Liverpool swoop?

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is high on the wish list of Manchester United as Jose Mourinho looks to replace veteran Michael Carrick.

Previously with Genk, he signed for Lazio in 2015 and has made 35 appearances this campaign, contributing with six assists for the White and Sky blues, whilst scoring eleven times in the process.

Standing at over six foot, he boasts a terrific engine and also has an eye for goal so would be the perfect addition to Klopp's squad. The Reds would lack physicality in the middle should Can seek pastures anew, so Savic would be like-for-like. A shot per game ratio of 2.5, he knows where the goal is and could ease the burden on Liverpool's free-scoring forwards.

Serbians have struggled on Merseyside however, with Lazar Markovic - who is currently on-loan with Anderlecht - suffering a torrid time. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic's agent has already confirmed that he is happy at Lazio and is very unlikely to leave in the near future. If Klopp were to match Lazio's demands however, his loyalty would certainly be put to the test.
