Various off the pitch events happened in the last summer's transfer window that illuminated the charisma of the 2018-19 campaign to a massive extent. Particularly, Liverpool came under the spotlight for a stunning outlay in the transfer window last time out having spent more than £177 million to make some colossal signings.
Jurgen Klopp and his man behind the curtains, Michael Edwards, led the Merseyside outfit to a tremendous success in the transfer market and particularly, Brazillian acrobatic shot-stopper Alisson Becker's acquisition came out as a pure statement of intent from the Reds who landed at Anfield in a then world record fee of £67 million.
Liverpool unsurprisingly have made their best start to their Premier League campaign having procured 27 points from available 33. Yet, they sit in 3rd position behind Manchester City and Chelsea.
Pep Guardiola's sizzling Cityzens have shown no signs of stopping while Chelsea, under their new boss, have been flying since the start of the campaign. Moreover, Arsenal under Unai Emery's resolution are showing some massive tangible effects and now are unbeaten in 12 games in all competitions.
This year's title race could be the best ever in the Premier League's history and eventually, Klopp's men need to be more clinical in order to land the first Premier League trophy. The German tactician could again ingress the transfer window in order to add further trait of reliability and to bolster his squad.
Here are the three upmarket names for which Liverpool should look to swoop for:
#3 Piotr Zelinski (Napoli)
Jurgen Klopp's transfer wishlist has been shuffling on a regular basis but it consistently includes Napoli's headstrong Polish man at the centre of the park, Piotr Zielinski.
Piotr Zielinski, 24, is a versatile athlete who generally piles his trade as a central midfielder with a gifted and a smart attacking mindset. The Polish central midfielder has been in flying form since his arrival in Naples and particularly enjoyed his best days under the management of Maurizio Sarri.
Still only 24, Piotr Zielinski has a massive amount of potential for further improvement and it comes as no surprise that the top clubs likes of Arsenal and Liverpool are getting lured by him.
Moreover, Klopp may face a sturdy competition in an attempt to kand the Polish at Anfield as it was previously reported Real Madrid and Manchester City were also keen to avail his services.
#2 Nicolo Barella (Cagliari)
A box-to-box midfield talent with an immense potential for further improvement, Nicolo Barella should the midfielder that Klopp looks upon.
Recent reports claim that the Merseyside outfit is leading the race to avail the services of Italian youngster who has also attracted the interest of Italian heavyweights AC Milan.
Nicolo Barella, being just 21, is tipped to become one of the best midfield talents and boasts a very impressive skill set. Barella enjoyed an impressive season at Cagliari last term as the Italian was defensively outstanding as he produced 1.8 interceptions per game to go along with his 6 goals.
The Sardegna Arena star is valued at around £27 million. Liverpool's current XI is crying out for a star midfielder and though the youngster is not yet the finished product, with his agility and box-to-box play, the Italian could be a very shrewd signing for the Merseyside outfit.
#1 Adrien Rabiot (PSG)
Similar to Aaron Ramsey, it has been reported that Paris Saint-Germain's 23-year midfielder, Adrien Rabiot has turned down a new contract offer from the French giants which eventually allows him to leave the French capital for a free at the end of the season.
Along with the likes of Barcelona and Manchester City, Liverpool has emerged as one of the favourite destinations for the French midfield man as the German manager has a personal liking for him.
Rabiot boasts a massive defensive potential and immense physicality to go with his attacking ability on the ball. His stats include 2.1 tackles and 1.4 interceptions per games so far which outlines his outstanding defensive potential.
Adrien Rabiot being just 23 years of age could be an astute signing for the Merseyside outfit but faces a sturdy competition form a host of European elites.
