A sporting director has just spoken out to confirm that he wants to sign a Liverpool star in the summer transfer window.
Liverpool are entering a new era after it was confirmed that Andoni Iraola has been appointed as their manager.
The hierarchy will likely look to back him in the transfer market, but the reality is that some players may have to leave the club after they spent significantly last summer.
Liverpool are already losing Ibrahima Konate, Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson this summer, with all three departing on free transfers.
As a result, the Merseyside club may need to fetch in transfer fees by selling some of their other stars in order to allow them to continue investing in the playing squad.

Inter Milan's sporting director Piero Ausilio has confirmed that the Italian club are interested in signing Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones in the summer transfer window.
Inter have been heavily linked with a move to sign Jones this summer, with suggestions of a swap deal even mentioned.
Jones has struggled to cement himself as a guaranteed starter for Liverpool, but it will be interesting to see whether he's more suited to new manager Iraola.
Either way, it seems that a departure is possible in the coming weeks and months.

Speaking earlier this week, another Liverpool player, Federico Chiesa, has confirmed that Jones has been asking him about life in Italy.
That certainly has added more fuel to the fire that Jones could be heading to Inter Milan, with Chiesa even mentioning the Italian club.
"Jones just asked me what life is like in Italy. I told him it's great and the weather is better than Liverpool, which aside from that is a special place.
"Jones is really strong technically, Inter are right to think about him."
It's rare that players speak out about potential exits for their teammates, but Chiesa himself has been linked with a departure heading into the summer transfer window.
