The Three Keepers Liverpool Are Eyeing Up With Coutinho Funds

With the imminent departure of Philippe Coutinho, Jurgen Klopp is already plotting how he intends to spend the money.

The brilliant Brazilian is expected to complete his transfer to Barcelona. After failing to land him in the summer, it appears the Catalans will finally get their man.

We're talking in excess of £100 million, and Klopp is expected to splash the cash once the deal is officially over the line.

And if reports are to be believed, he'll target a new keeper with the German drawing up a three man shortlist.

According to Independent, Liverpool have set their sights on Stoke City's Jack Butland, AS Roma's Alisson and Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak.

Klopp currently has Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius at his disposal, though he's not massively confident in the pair of them following their mishaps in goal.

He's looking to rectify the situation with three potential options.

Oblak remains subject to intense transfer speculation following his heroics between the sticks. Manchester United are reportedly keeping tabs on him, too.

Though his £100 million release clause may deter clubs from tabling a bid.

AS Roma's No.1 has also emerged as Brazil's No.1. And his performances haven't gone unnoticed with Liverpool keen on his services.

The clubs final target is closer to home, with Butland linked with a move to Anfield.

The budding England stopper is also under the watchful eye of Chelsea who could be tempted with a move should Real Madrid lure Thibaut Courtois away from the Bridge.

United are also monitoring Butland's situation.

Will Liverpool have a new No.1 in January or in the summer? Watch this space.
