According to a report from TEAMtalk, cited by Чемпионат.com, the Reds are actively exploring options to add quality and depth to their squad ahead of the new season.\n\nCrystal Palace's Adam Wharton remains a prominent figure in Liverpool's plans. The young English midfielder has impressed with his performances, and negotiations between the two clubs could progress if the Eagles' valuation aligns with what Liverpool are willing to pay. Wharton's potential arrival would bring a blend of technical skill and Premier League experience to Anfield.\n\nBeyond the English market, Liverpool's scouting network has cast a wide net across Europe. The club is monitoring Lamine Camara of AS Monaco and Mamadou Sangare from RC Lens. Both players represent potential options that could offer different qualities and value in the transfer market as Liverpool looks to build a versatile and competitive midfield unit.\n\nHowever, the most high-profile and potentially complicated target on the list is Brighton & Hove Albion's Carlos Baleba. Liverpool continue to rate the Cameroonian international very highly, recognizing his immense talent and potential. The primary obstacle to any deal, however, is the substantial asking price. Brighton have reportedly set a valuation of €92.5 million for the midfielder, a figure that Liverpool's hierarchy currently considers to be excessive.\n\nThe club's reluctance to meet that price is rooted in a broader summer strategy. Liverpool are understood to be looking to reinforce multiple positions in the upcoming transfer window, not just midfield. Committing such a large portion of their budget to a single player could limit their ability to address other areas of the squad that require attention.\n\nAs the summer window approaches, Liverpool's recruitment team faces a delicate balancing act. They must weigh the immediate impact a player like Baleba could make against the need for strategic, multi-positional strengthening. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining which of these four midfield targets ultimately makes the move to Merseyside.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","Liverpool have identified four midfield targets for the summer, including Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace and Brighton's Carlos Baleba, whose €92.5m price tag is seen as a major hurdle.","327920645646061569","326135625054949376","Premier League","0","2026-05-07T19:28:54Z","liverpool-s-four-man-midfield-shortlist-for-summer-transfer-window-revealed","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews-6460048-liverpul-sostavil-spisok-iz-chetyryoh-poluzaschitnikov-kotoryh-mozhet-kupit-letom-tt.html","326255037950988288","Crystal Palace",[56,59,60,61,62,63,64,65],"326257545918287872","326257546291580928","326257536112005120","326257536443355136","326222707169431552","326222712496197632","326257539962376192",[57,67,68,69,70,71,72,73],"Liverpool","Brighton","Monaco","Lens","Anderlecht","Netherlands","Como","Liverpool's Four-Man Midfield Shortlist for Summer Transfer Window Revealed",[76,102,134,159],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":77,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":78,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":51,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":79,"slug":80,"sourceName":81,"sourceURL":82,"teamId":62,"teamName":70,"teamIds":83,"teamNames":92,"title":101},"Pierre Sage is set to join Crystal Palace after leading Lens to Coupe de France glory.
