Liverpool have submitted a £43 million offer to sign Algerian international Ismael Bennacer.
Liverpool has been linked with several talented midfielders to strengthen the midfield. Ismael Bennacer is one of them.

Liverpool looking to sign Ismael Bennacer
According to rumors cited by CdS, Liverpool is putting pressure on him. And they have made an offer to sign Ismael Bennacer.
According to Tutto Mercato Web, Jurgen Klopp has a lot of admiration for the former Empoli player. He is willing to stay in Milan longer. In the summer of 2024, his current contract is scheduled to end.
The 25-year-old midfielder is an essential player for Stefan Pioli’s squad. And he was a significant component of their Scudetto-winning season from the previous year.
The 2019 AFCON champion is a dedicated playmaker. Moreover, he might eventually take the position of Fabinho or Henderson. As both of their forms are dipping, Liverpool are in desperate need of signing a good midfielder. The Reds are also recently been linked with Argentinian sensation Enzo Fernandez. The 21-year-old is in red-hot form for Argentina. Enzo’s goal against Mexico in the World Cup has made him one of the hot properties across Europe at the moment.
On the other hand, Liverpool midfielders are also ageing and the Merseyside club will be looking to make a note of it before going into the January transfer window.
