Klopp hunting for defender

Football

By Agencies | Jul 06, 2017

Jurgen Klopp is keen to make additions to his ranks this summer to mount a Premier League title challenge and make an impact in the Champions League.

Klopp is looking to make Mammana of Argentina his third summer recruit following the signing of Mohamed Salah and young striker Dominic Solanake from Chelsea.

Liverpool missed out on England international Michael Keane who opted to move to the blue half of the city.

Mammana joined Lyon last summer on a five-year-contract from River Plate and made 17 Ligue 1 appearances in his debut season, and scored one goal.

The Argentine defender has been earmarked as potential replacement for Mamadou Sakho whose Anfield days look numbered.

Liverpool are set to offer the 21-year-old a five-year deal worth around £54,000-a-week to move to Merseyside.

However, the defender is not prepared to talk personal terms with the Premier League outfit until an agreement has been rubber stamped between the clubs.

Pre-season tour

Liverpool leave for their pre-season tour of Asia on July 19 and their German coach wants all his transfer business done before they board the plane.

The Reds beat Arsenal to fourth place in the Premier League and that final Champions League spot last season.
