Why Alaba Would be the Perfect Summer Addition at Liverpool

The Reds' decision not to pursue a move for Timo Werner appears to be a sign of things to come, even though there is no ruling out the prospect of the odd addition coming in.

Sabitzer The Latest Bull to be Liverpool Red
Over the last year or so, Liverpool have had an exceptional record in tying down their key players to new deals.
Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane -- among others -- have all penned new contracts to see them remain at Anfield for the foreseeable future.
Absent from that list of renewals, however -- despite being just as key a cog to the Reds' winning machine as the aforementioned striking trio -- has been Dutch midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.

David Alaba The Swiss Army Knife Liverpool Need
This upcoming transfer window — whenever that will be in the coronavirus paused footballing world — could well be Dejan Lovren’s last at Liverpool.
The Croat defender has proved a divisive player amongst the Reds fans since his £20M switch from Southampton in the summer of 2014 and his Anfield stint almost came to an end last summer as a move to Roma was apparently close.

Is Jurgen Klopp the Enemy of the Football League? Or it's Defender?
Whether you’re a Liverpool supporter or not, you’ll almost certainly have an opinion on Jurgen Klopp’s comments after (some) of his world champions drew 2-2 against a battling Shrewsbury at New Meadow Stadium. The main talking point from the game was the upcoming replay the Shrews had just valiantly earned themselves in fighting from 2-0 down.

Return of the Shaq - and why it's good news for Liverpool
It's been a long time since we saw any meaningful contribution from Xherdan Shaqiri in a Liverpool shirt.
In truth, it probably came in that memorable Champions League semi-final win over Barcelona at Anfield, when his beautiful curling cross was met by a thumping Gini Wijnaldum header to bring Liverpool level in the tie.
The Alpine Messi has been hampered by a niggling injury to one of those enormous calves of his and has barely featured this season for Klopp's …
Liverpool wants £37m-rated as Coutinho replacement
Bayern Munich will not be signing James Rodriguez for £37million this summer and reports from the Mirror claims that Liverpool want the Colombia international as a Philippe Coutinho replacement.
Coutinho left Liverpool in January 2018 and while Xherdan Shaqiri was signed as a direct replacement to the Brazilian, the former Stoke City ace isn't on the same level as Coutinho.
Liverpool haven't signed and lack a natural No. 10 since Coutinho joined Barcelona but the club did come close to …

Liverpool vs Porto: Champions League Quarter Final Is No Formality
After emphatically dumping Nivo Kovac's Bayern Munich out of the Champions League this week, Liverpool were handed what on paper seems to be a preferable quarter-final after being drawn against Porto.
The 1-3 scoreline at the Allianz Arena along with a composed and assured performance in Bavaria has led many to believe that Liverpool are in with a serious chance of replicating last year's European form and making it all the way to the final for a second consecutive season …
