I know it looks like a list of plucked out players, but it's a list we as a club are very likely to be looking at due to lack of / or lower transfer fee involved.

I avoided Defenders and Goalkeepers because we are well stocked in these areas, concentrating on Midfielders and Attackers/Forwards/ Wingers in the list as it's the key areas that need upgrading for obvious reasons.

One player I could see Klopp interested in because of a relegation release clause is Maxwell Cornet of Burnley. The 25-year-old has a £17.5 million release clause in his five-year contract that became active when the club were relegated from the Premier League.

He has shone in an underwhelming season for Burnley being their top scorer with 9 goals and has been played on the left side of attack, similar area to Mane but he can play either side of attack.

At £17.5m it'd be a no-brainer for us to go for him. Also he won't have the World Cup to contend with as Ivory Coast got knocked out by Cameroon so he'll be fresher than most when players return from the World Cup.

I would be happy if we purchased Tielemans for the mooted £25m price tag and Cornet at £17.5m for next season.

It could be possible we go in for Bellingham also because his stock will only rise going into next season and the World Cup, his contract with Dortmund expires in 2025. If Klopp is serious in wanting him, then this summer is likely the ideal time to go for him as he'll likely be £100m+ next season - likely get him for £70m with add-ons now.

We could recoup a good portion of the above outlay with Mane, Ox, Nat Phillips and Neko Williams all likely to be sold this summer.

I wouldn't buy a midfielder but move TAA in midfield, he is great going forward but appalling at the back, where was he when Vinicius scored un the CL final, and it was not the first time he didn't track back and we conceded on his side. We should buy a better right full back
