As part of a potential six-man strong roster overhaul, Liverpool could look to add a forward this summer, says Romano.
The Merseysiders have already signed Cody Gakpo from PSV but will lose Firmino on a free transfer in the summer.
However, the Reds may delay bolstering their forward position until some time because the club has a variety of options available to them. The 20-year-old Harvey Elliott might be worth including as an additional option and cover for Mo Salah’s position.
Romano says Liverpool could make an unexpected signing this summer
Speaking to the Here We Go Podcast, the Italian gave his point of view on Liverpool’s upcoming transfer activity.
“My expectation is for Liverpool to go for two, maybe three, midfielders in the summer, to go for a new fullback, for a new goalkeeper as backup to Alisson, and maybe something offensive,”
Because they will be really busy this summer. Could be like six signings.
At the moment they feel they are covered because they have Gakpo, Diaz, Nunez, Salah, Jota, many players in these positions, but Firmino is leaving,”
the reporter continued.
“So will Liverpool go for one more striker? What kind of player will they sign? Or maybe they will stay with these players.”
Many fans think that it would be absurd to increase attacking firepower instead of adding a new player to the midfield.
Even though the Reds only need two midfielders, there are still concerns about Curtis Jones and Stefan Bacjetic’s performances. Therefore, Klopp will be aiming for three new players to plan for the future.
Liverpool are also looking to strengthen their back four and run the risk of adding too much to their plate. It remains to be seen what Jurgen Klopp will do ahead of a season in which significant improvement is required.
