Liverpool want more midfielders after signing Alexis Mac Allister

Danny Murphy pointed out that for the £100 million or more Dortmund were asking for, Jurgen Klopp could potentially sign two new midfielders rather than blow the entirety of his budget on just the one after learning that Liverpool had pulled out of the race to sign the Real Madrid-bound Jude Bellingham.  Declan Rice and Mason Mount were anticipated to sign with Arsenal and Manchester United, not Anfield, so Murphy may have been off base with his prediction. However, the overall case was strong. 

World Cup champion Alexis Mac Allister was acquired by Liverpool from Brighton for only £35 million; the Argentine's transfer was officially announced on Thursday. And The Reds are currently focusing on two quick-footed Frenchmen who would only cost a small portion of what Real is paying for Bellingham.
