The incredible season for the Merseyside club comes to an end with a victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League. The rejuvenated team under Jurgen Klopp fell agonizingly short to Madrid, last year at Kyiv. This year, however, their defense improved under the Dutchman Virgil Van Dijk's watchful eyes, who has not been dribbled this season according to stats. The Liverpool attacking trio became one of the most fearful ones in Europe, with Salah, Mane, and Firmino, wreaking havoc wherever they went.
On top of all that, they had a great leader in Jordan Henderson and two astonishingly talented young fullbacks in Robertson and Trent-Alexander Arnold. Not to forget the brilliant man between the sticks, Alisson Becker. Liverpool looks a complete team by every means but not for long.
James Milner, Alberto Moreno, Daniel Sturridge, probably Jordan Henderson, all will leave the club in the summer. There is no backup in the fullback spots and the midfield lacks depth. The starting 11 of Liverpool is beyond amazing but the squad depth has to be improved if they are to sustain this level of performance next season.
Let us look at three players who'd provide Liverpool with some depth in the squad and improve them.
#3 Filipe Luis
The Brazilian full-back will be out of contract at Atletico Madrid in the summer. He is known in Spain as "Pared de Ladrillo Humano", the Human Brick-Wall. And that's what he actually is. Not the profile fast and pacy fullback but instead a really strong built player who is highly mobile.
Now this man has been in England before which is a brighter side, but he did confess that he didn't enjoy playing against fast and physical players. But that was 2014, and now he is a much better player and a good squad player. He would be able to help out in need.
He will come for free, won't need to be highly paid, and solves the crisis for an experienced backup while the academy lads, Adam Lewis, and Ki-Jana Hoever wait to be thrown into the mix.
#2 Timo Werner
The Red-Bull Leipzig striker is being linked with Liverpool heavily. He would be out of contract in 2020 and thus it would only make sense that Leipzig get some funds out of him rather than lose him for nothing next season.
Timo is a striker who is on the radar of many top clubs including neighbors Borussia Dortmund. However, the Reds, having won the Champions Leagues will be in pole position to sign him due to two things. One, the finances of the club and two, the lure of the Anfield. A player like Werner would love to wear the Liverpool Reds, given the prospect of playing for an attacking side, and winning more trophies.
England will be a new place for him and can propel him to new heights. When you say Germans in EPL, Mikel Ballack comes first to mind, a great career at Chelsea. His fellow national teammates, Sane and Leno, are already enjoying life in England. What possibly could make him say no to Liverpool?
#1 Paulo Dybala
Well, it is really funny when you look at it, that Coutinho left Liverpool to win Champions League and actually, Liverpool ended up winning it a season later. But trolls and fun apart, Liverpool have serious creativity issues in their team.
The reason Liverpool are so dominant is due to their aggressive full-backs and their ruthless front-three. The midfield plays little or no role in goalscoring as it seems. None of the midfield players is a regular in the team and Klopp hasn't been successful in finding go-to combinations.
So, until or unless Liverpool gets some creativity in there, teams would notice this flaw and outnumber the midfield where they largely lack creativity. Who better to sprinkle some creativity in their than Paulo Dybala? The Argentine is a proper playmaker and a genuinely good dribbler. He is reportedly looking to leave Juventus and what better destination than the Anfield.
Dybala can play his #10 role freely, without competition, because ever since Coutinho left there is no one playing in that spot. Him as the creator through the middle, the fullbacks surging forward, with a dangerous front-three, that is a horrific imagination for defenders.
