The transfer window hasn't even officially opened yet but this week, just hours after losing the Champions League final to Real Madrid, the Reds announced the signature of Brazilian international Fabinho from Monaco.
The 24-year-old will cost the club around £39m — potentially increasing to £43m in performance-related bonuses — and is set to join his new team-mates on July 1.
“This is something that I always wanted - this is a giant of a team,” Fabinho said upon the announcement of the deal. “I am really excited.”
But Fabinho isn’t set to be Liverpool’s only signing. The club are also desperate to sign a new goalkeeper after Loris Karius’ nightmare in Kiev, with Fabinho’s international team-mate Alisson very much at the top of their list.
Jurgen Klopp is also keen to add Lyon star Nail Fekir to his squad ahead of the new Premier League season, while Naby Keita is set to join the side following his protracted move last summer.
The club are also believed to be scouting several defensive targets.
So with that in mind, we take a look at how a new look Liverpool could line up for the 2018/19 season.
