Name: Dani Alves
Age: 31
Position: Right Back
Nationality: Brazilian
Club: Barcelona
Price: £10 – £15 million
News of Dani Alves making a switch from Barcelona to the Premier League has recently been circulating the media with Liverpool and Manchester United rumoured to be preparing a bid.
Regarded as one of the world’s best right back, Alves has had huge success in the La Liga with many trophy-filled years. Not normally known for his defensive game, he is very devastating in the attacking side with his ability to dribble, shoot, and cross from anywhere along the right flanks.
Antonio Candreva

Name: Antonio Candreva
Age: 27
Position: Right Wing
Nationality: Italy
Club: Lazio
Price: £18 – £24 million
With Liverpool opting to play down the flanks, the addition of Antonio Candreva will only make them stronger. Squad depth is a key asset to any side having to compete in the Champions League as well as in the domestic league and competitions.
Candreva is known for his ability to dribble the ball with pace along the wings and hopefully build a relationship with fellow countryman Mario Balotelli who can convert his crosses into goals.
Marco Reus

Name: Marco Reus
Age: 25
Position: Left Wing
Nationality: Germany
Club: Borussia Dortmund
Price: £19.8 million (summer release clause)
Although Marco Reus has picked up yet another lengthy injury, a host of clubs will still be trying to take advantage of his £19.8 million release clause that will be triggered next summer therefore Dortmund may need to sell him or offer him a new contact.
Liverpool had already negotiated a move to bring him to Anfield, but it was said that his ankle injury halted any big money moves. The German club will need to do all they can do make sure he is back to full fitness or risk seeing a huge drop in his market value ahead of the summer.
Xherdan Shaqiri

Name: Xherdan Shaqiri
Age: 22
Position: Right Wing
Nationality: Switzerland
Club: Bayern Munich
Price: £15 – £20 million
Another winger that Liverpool has been tracking throughout the summer is Xherdan Shaqiri, someone who could add even more depth along the flanks. His pace and physical ability would be a perfect fit for the Premier League with many believing the move would have taken place.
With the Reds still said to be monitoring the player, it is high likely that they will continue their spending to try and land the Swiss attacker. His role at Bayern Munich is also quite limited given their world class forward line, adding to the chance that he could make a switch to the England.
Christoph Kramer

Name: Christoph Kramer
Age: 23
Position: Defensive Midfield
Nationality: Germany
Club: Borussia Mochengladbach (on loan from Bayer Leverkusen)
Price: £8 – £13 million
Liverpool have already signed a defensive midfielder in Emre Can, but could decide to add yet another player to the role after being linked with a move for Christoph Kramer. His move to Anfield could spell the start of a huge battle in the deeper midfield role to play alongside club captain Steven Gerrard.
Having already represented the German national team with an appearance in the World Cup finals against Argentina, he seems to be able to excel under large amounts of pressure as he is said to have become the heart of his team’s midfield.

Nationality: Norway
Club: Stromsgodset

Odegaard was also called up to make his Norway national team debut recently, picking up large interest from many of Europe’s elite clubs including Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Barcelona.
