5 players who have been linked with summer moves to Liverpool

#3 Donyell Malen | PSV Eindhoven

PSV v Tottenham Hotspur - UEFA Champions League Group B

Widely reported to be Liverpool's top attacking target this summer, former Arsenal star Donyell Malen could return to England this summer. The Dutchman has enjoyed a stunning season with PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie, having made a name for himself as a versatile attacker renowned for his pace and goalscoring ability.

Malen is also an excellent dribbler of the ball and has been deployed as a left-sided forward, indicating that he could be the perfect addition to Liverpool's current attacking options.

The Reds, though, are unlikely to have a free run at him, with Juventus said to be keeping tabs on him.

#2 Ibrahima Konate | RB Leipzig

FC Bayern Muenchen v RB Leipzig - Bundesliga

RB Leipzig's Ibrahima Konate has been hailed as one of the most exciting young defenders in world football and is reportedly set to join Liverpool this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Frenchman tends to dominate attackers aerially and is also incredibly quick considering his stature, making him the perfect fit for Liverpool's high defensive line.

Konate is experienced for someone who is just 21 years old and has often been away from the spotlight due to Dayot Upamecano's presence at the heart of the Leipzig defense. However, he reportedly rejected several offers before agreeing a deal with the Reds.

Ibrahima Konaté to Liverpool, here we go soon! The deal is set to be completed, personal terms agreed on a five-years contract.Liverpool will pay the release clause to RB Leipzig in the next days [around €35m] in order to finalize the signing of Konaté. 🔴 #LFC https://t.co/N4OWqqXiGu

Liverpool are yet to officially announce the deal, but Klopp is set to add Konate to his squad for the 2021-22 season barring a last-minute change of heart.

#1 Florian Neuhaus | Borussia Monchengladbach

DSC Arminia Bielefeld v Borussia Moenchengladbach - Bundesliga

One of the most consistent players in an exciting Borussia Monchengladbach side, Florian Neuhaus has quietly enhanced his reputation over the past two seasons. The elegant midfielder is one of the candidates being considered by the Reds to reinforce their squad this summer, as Klopp continues to look for Wijnaldum's long-term replacement.

Neuhaus ticks a lot of boxes and is capable of contributing to both phases of play, making him the ideal candidate to add another dimension to Liverpool's midfield. Bayern Munich are also interested in the 24-year-old, so the Reds don't have too much time to waste if they are really keen on him.

Joachim Low is likely to hand Neuhas a call-up for the European Championships later this year and his value is likely to soar if he performs well in the tournament.
