During the last summer transfer window, the Reds spent around £150 million (about 6,600 million baht) rebuilding the squad, mostly by signing midfielders.
However, there are many out-of-contract gems in Europe and other continents to be found in the transfer market, and Liverpool have done so several times over the years.
Let's take a look at some of the interesting options Liverpool could get to join the team for free in 2024, and these five players could potentially come in handy. The Reds' strength in the current group is strengthened, several times stronger than before.
1. Lloyd Kelly
Age: 25 years
Club: Bournemouth
Nationality: English
Position: Centre-back, left-back
Liverpool are in desperate need of a left-back. Throughout the past year Lloyd Kelly has been a very cheap option for Klopp, with the Bournemouth defender having been linked with Liverpool since 2018, with 2024 likely to be the year he makes the move.
For the season, Kelly started 8 Premier League matches. The reason is that the player suffered an injury, with the 25-year-old potentially being a left centre-back. But a move could also be made to visit the left-back. This is what the Reds want.
With Matip likely to leave the club as a free agent this summer, Virgil van Dijk about to turn 33, and the team are likely to face a back four struggling with persistent injuries. Therefore, having a defender who can play in a variety of positions is very good.
However, getting Kelly to join the army will not be an easy task. The biggest obstacle facing Liverpool is the player's agent. Because it is an important factor that will determine the fate of the team that Bournemouth players choose to move to.
2. Tosin Adarabioyo
Age: 26 years
Club: Fulham
Nationality: English
Position: Center back
Liverpool really need to strengthen their defensive stance, with another defender in Tosin Adarabioyo who could be a very useful option to bolster the team's defence.
This is the same case with Kelly, with the 26-year-old being an interesting addition to the squad as he is a home-grown player, which is a very good thing for the Reds.
Adarabioyo received high praise as a youngster at Manchester City and was even a member of the England national team. The youth levels are U16, U17, U18 and U19, so this is a backline with great potential.
Although he may not have had a very strong performance, this player is an interesting option. Especially those that can be grabbed without having to spend the budget. He is also a local stakes player.
3. Federico Redondo
Age: 20 years
Club: Argentinos Juniors
Nationality: Argentine
Position: Defensive midfielder
This may not be a name that Liverpool fans will be familiar with, but Federico Redondo could be an exciting name given his history. The best performance after his years for the Argentine footballer
The 20-year-old plays a key role as a number 6 or defensive midfielder. This is a situation that Wataru Endo plays wonderfully. But he is the only player on the current team who is skilled in that role.
Redondo joins the Argentina national team. The U-23 team played 4 matches and performed very well. But a muscle tear prevented him from playing continuously for Alexis McAllister's former club.
4. Leandro Barreiro
Age: 24 years
Club: Mainz
Nationality: Luxembourgish
Position: Defensive midfielder
Klopp's relationship with his former club could prove beneficial if Liverpool want to pursue Mainz midfielder Leandro Bareiro.
Barreiro usually operates as a midfielder in Mainz's midfield, and his outstanding potential has already earned him 52 caps for the Luxembourg national team, despite being just 24 years old.
Bareiro came through the Mainz Youth Academy and helped the team return to the first division twice in a row in the 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 seasons. He now plays alongside Sepp van den Berg, the Dutchman on loan from Liverpool, but it is unlikely that the duo will meet again. At Anfield this summer. If the club deems this player suitable for the team.
There have been reports recently that Bareiro is preparing to bid farewell to Mainz this summer, with Benfica being the player's most likely destination.
5. Sebastian Cáceres
Age: 24 years
Club: America Club
Nationality: Uruguay
Position: Center back
This is another interesting option in the back line, with Sebastian Caceres potentially a very interesting one. Because his current contract is about to expire after the end of this season.
Cáceres plays for Club América in Mexico City and was a key defender in leading the club to second place in the Mexican League last season.
The 24-year-old has won 9 caps for Uruguay and played every minute of the World Cup qualifiers for the 'brutal' side, demonstrating that he is one of the country's key players.
This will not be the first time Cáceres has played for a club with the same name as Liverpool. Because the player previously played for Liverpool Montevideo, one of the leading teams in Uruguay. Before he moved to earn a living in the land of Django
