Following the unsuccessful conclusion of the 2021/22 season, Liverpool have been looking to get some early business done in this summer’s transfer market. Arnaut Danjuma, a player who has been repeatedly linked to the club, is now reportedly keen for a move to the Reds, which moves the potential transfer one step closer to completion.
Danjuma is coming off the back of an impressive campaign with Villarreal, where he bagged 16 goals and helped to guide the club to a surprising Champions League semi-final.
Klopp, who was said to be impressed with Danjuma’s performances against his side in the Champions League semi-final, will be looking for reinforcements in attack this summer.

Sadio Mané’s potential departure will leave a void for the Reds. A void which must be filled. Danjuma may just be that man, and for a relatively low fee of £45m he surely has to be an attractive prospect for the Liverpool hierarchy.
Villarreal’s failure to qualify for next season's Champions League could be the key factor in this transfer saga, with a disappointing 7th place finish in the league perhaps deterring Danjuma from staying with the Spanish club.
All players wish to play on the biggest stage, something Liverpool can offer Danjuma, with their 2nd place finish comfortably securing Champions League football for another season.
If Mané does leave for a new club, it’s likely Danjuma will be getting unveiled as a new Liverpool player. This signing would signal the Reds' intent to avenge their Premier League and Champions League defeats.
