PSG Ready To Poach Liverpool Star Midfielder

Following another disappointing European campaign this season, Mauricio Pochettino's PSG are keen to bolster up their midfield and have identified Liverpool's Naby Keita as a potential option.

Despite winning yet another league title by 15 points, the overriding feeling around Paris is still one of disappointment due to their last 16 collapse to Real Madrid in the Champions League. Their wait for a Champions League trophy goes on.

Journalist Ekrem Konur has revealed that Paris Saint-Germain are ready to pay €30m for the Guinean midfielder. Keita is contracted to the Reds until 2026, yet there seems to be optimism around Paris that a deal can be completed.

The 27 year-olds time at Liverpool has been one of mixed reviews, with there being many inconsistent performances during his 4 years at the club.

Perhaps the move could benefit all parties involved. Gini Wijnaldum made the decision last year to leave the reds and move to Paris, but his spell with the French champions has been rather underwhelming. It is clear from his Twitter likes that he is missing his time at Anfield. Could the Keita deal open up the potential for Gini to make a return to the Premier League and Klopp's squad?

Elsewhere, Klopp is looking for another forward to replace Sadio Mane, who is set to leave Anfield and join German champions Bayern Munich. It was recently revealed that Chelsea star Christian Pulisic is one of the names on the list of potential replacements for the Senegalese forward.
