Turning their attention towards reinforcements and the summer transfer window, Liverpool are now reportedly plotting a move to sign a midfield talent as part of a triple La Liga swoop.
Liverpool transfer news
The Premier League leaders could have it all to do when the summer arrives with Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk all on course to leave as free agents as things stand. Of course, that could still change but the lack of contract news is certainly a growing concern for all those at Anfield in what is a cloud threatening to rain down on an otherwise excellent season.
As that concern does grow, so does the potential preparation over summer replacements for the big three – if replacing players of such calibre is even possible at all. And that has seen the Reds turn their attention towards La Liga, with reports in Spain suggesting that they’re already eyeing moves for both winger Takefusa Kubo and defender Cristhian Mosquera.
They’re not the only La Liga talents on their radar, however. According to reports in Spain, Liverpool are now plotting a move to sign Oihan Sancet as part of a triple swoop this summer.
The attacking midfielder could be the final piece to Arne Slot’s midfield to finally complete the rebuild there which initially commenced under Jurgen Klopp. The Spaniard – still just 24 years old – has enjoyed an excellent campaign for Athletic Bilbao and has undoubtedly earned his way onto Liverpool’s radar.

When the summer arrives, Sancet, Kubo and Mosquera will be ones to watch – particularly if Liverpool lose their big three.
“Underrated” Sancet would inject goals into Liverpool midfield
As efficient as Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister have been throughout the current campaign both on and off the ball, one thing that midfield three has lacked is goals. Sancet, on the other hand, has lacked anything but.
The Athletic Bilbao man has been at the centre of his side’s excellent attacking work adds an extra element of threat from the middle of the park – something the Reds lack at times.

Add Gravenberch’s two goal involvements – both assists – and Liverpool’s midfield trio have been involved in just 12 goals so far this season, one less than Sancet has managed on his own in La Liga.
It shouldn’t be Slot’s greatest concern, but it should be something that he aims to solve in the summer if he wants to end Liverpool’s reliance on the likes of Salah and Cody Gakpo. Dubbed “underrated” by analyst Ben Mattinson, Sancet could quickly become an ideal solution at Anfield this summer.
