Liverpool considering £60m transfer gift for Jurgen Klopp replacement as Joshua Kimmich move urged
As the end of the 2023/24 season draws closer, attention will soon turn to the summer transfer window.

Alan Varela clause
Liverpool are said to be considering triggering the £60million release clause of Porto's, Alan Varela.
