Fabrizio Romano: Liverpool to move for midfielder with ‘calls’ already made | OneFootball

Liverpool Exploring Midfield Market as Fabrizio Romano Reveals Transfer Calls

Liverpool’s summer transfer plans continue to evolve under new head coach Andoni Iraola, with fresh reports suggesting the club’s recruitment team is actively assessing midfield options alongside their well documented pursuit of attacking reinforcements.

While much of the conversation around Liverpool’s transfer strategy has focused on strengthening the forward line, emerging reports from both Fabrizio Romano and The Athletic indicate that the midfield department is now receiving significant attention behind the scenes.

With Liverpool preparing for a new era following a disappointing 2025/26 campaign, recruitment decisions across multiple positions could shape the club’s immediate future.

Midfield Reinforcements Under Consideration

Liverpool’s interest in adding another midfielder may come as a surprise given the depth already available at the club.

Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo remain part of the current squad. However, the Reds seem to be weighing up their options in that department.

That assessment aligns closely with Romano’s latest update, which points towards ongoing work behind the scenes as Liverpool assess market opportunities.

Fabrizio Romano Reveals Liverpool Transfer Activity

Providing insight into Liverpool’s thinking, Fabrizio Romano offered a significant update regarding the club’s transfer activity.

“In midfield, there could be movements,” began Romano. “I would not be surprised if Liverpool go for a new midfielder, it’s a possibility.

“Liverpool are making some calls for midfielders over the recent days and weeks. So I expect movement at Liverpool in terms of midfielders.

“Let’s see what happens on the future of Alexis Mac Allister, and with Curtis Jones who is wanted by Inter Milan.

“So also in terms of exits, what’s going to happen, but Liverpool are checking the midfielders market.”

Those comments suggest Liverpool are keeping their options open while monitoring potential departures and evaluating suitable replacements.

Futures of Mac Allister and Jones Remain Uncertain

One of the most intriguing elements of Romano’s update concerns Alexis Mac Allister.

The Argentine remains highly regarded across European football and continues to attract admiration from Real Madrid. While no formal move has materialised, speculation surrounding his future has persisted throughout the summer.

Liverpool’s recruitment team are unlikely to make major midfield decisions without first understanding how the situations involving Mac Allister and Curtis Jones develop.

Jones continues to attract interest from Inter Milan, with reports indicating the Italian giants remain keen on securing the England international. Should Liverpool sanction a sale, it would naturally increase the need for additional midfield depth.

For now, both players remain Liverpool assets, though their situations are clearly being monitored closely as the transfer window progresses.

Familiar Names Linked With Anfield Move

Liverpool have yet to publicly identify a preferred midfield target, though several names continue to emerge across various reports.

Among the players regularly linked with a move to Anfield are Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott and Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton. Both players fit the profile Liverpool have often targeted in recent years, combining technical quality with long term development potential.

As Liverpool continue their pursuit of highly rated winger Yan Diomande and assess other attacking options, it is becoming increasingly clear that strengthening midfield remains firmly on the club’s agenda.

With Fabrizio Romano confirming that Liverpool are already making enquiries and assessing the market, supporters can expect further developments in the coming weeks as Iraola begins shaping his squad for the 2026/27 season.
