Liverpool preparing a move for Arturo Vidal

According to World Football Index, Liverpool have identified Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal as their top target. The Reds have failed in their pursuits of Naby Keita and Virgil van Dijk so far this summer, with supporters growing agitated from the club's inactivity in the transfer market. Jurgen Klopp is said to be a huge fan of the combative midfielder and is ready to spend around £50 million on the 30-year-old.
