Prior to the start of the new season, Liverpool is in serious trouble since star midfielder Fabinho is close to joining Saudi Pro League team Al-Ittihad.
Manager Jürgen Klopp is left without a senior defensive midfielder in his team with only three weeks till the start of the season.Liverpool has created a shortlist of potential successors in an effort to address this pressing issue, with the majority of the candidates coming from the Premier League. However, there are two notable exceptions: Ryan Gravenberch of Bayern Munich, who isn’t your normal defensive midfielder, and Sofyan Amrabat of Fiorentina.
Southampton’s Roméo Lavia is one of the Premier League hopefuls, although the young player’s
inexperience might be a problem. While Kalvin Phillips of Manchester City is a desirable possibility,
his availability might be constrained given the fierce rivalry between the two clubs. Cheick Doucouré of
Crystal Palace and Boubacar Kamara of Aston Villa seem like better alternatives. But either of them will
cost money to obtain. considering that the 23-year-old midfielder still has a few years left on his contract, Villa may seek a comparable fee for Kamara considering that reports claim Doucouré is valued at an astounding $90 million (£70 million/€81 million).
Kamara stands out as the most alluring option on the list and has the ability to develop into a full-fledged number six midfielder. He excels at breaking up play, ranking among the top 20 players in the league for tackles per 90 minutes in his rookie season thanks to his superb anticipation and game reading abilities.

However, Kamara is not just a destroyer; as evidenced by his precision in long passes, he is also a
confident distributor. While serving as the manager of Aston Villa, Liverpool veteran Steven Gerrard
praised Kamara as “one of the most promising talents in European football” and said he was ” one of the most talented players in Europe.”

It was a wise move for Aston Villa to sign Kamara on a free transfer from Marseille as the Frenchman showed off his talent despite missing 15 games due to injury last season. Given that there was no transfer cost, many people thought he may win the season’s best signing award as a result. In a terrible turn of events, Liverpool and Manchester United both shown interest in Kamara in the past, but neither club took advantage of the chance to sign him, and now the Reds may be second-guessing their choice.
