Liverpool chiefs are already working on the club's next signing after agreeing a shock deal to sign Victor Munoz from Osasuna, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The majority of Liverpool transfer links so far this summer have included wingers or midfielders, and they completed a transfer hijack out of everywhere to bring in one of the former, in Munoz.
Newcastle United thought they were about to land the £34m Spain international, but the Reds have swooped in to agree a deal instead, with the player set to sign a six-year contract at Anfield after completing a medical.
The 22-year-old becomes the first signing of the Andoni Iraola era on Merseyside, but he is unlikely to be the last as Liverpool target another winger, this time to play on the right, with Munoz preferring to feature from the left.
In addition, one report claims that the Reds will also target a new central midfielder, right-back and potentially even a centre-back, even though Jeremy Jacquet will officially arrive at Anfield this summer after they agreed a deal for the French defender in the January transfer window.
Liverpool have squad gaps to fill, following the exits of Andy Robertson, Mohamed Salah and Ibrahima Konate, who has just been announced as a new Real Madrid player.

Liverpool may have agreed a deal to sign Munoz, but they are still looking to recruit their long-term Salah replacement on the right, meaning another winger is set to arrive at Anfield.
The Reds have been heavily linked with a move for RB Leizpig forward Yan Diomande in recent weeks, with the 19-year-old exploding onto the World Cup scene with a man-of-the-match performance in the Ivory Coast's win against Ecuador in their opening group game.
The Merseysiders are also admirers of Paris Saint-Germain star Bradley Barcola, who could be allowed to leave if the Champions League holders bring in a new attacker, with the Ligue 1 giants incidentally also keen on Diomande.
Issuing an update on his YouTube channel on Liverpool's transfer business after their deal to sign Munoz out of nowhere, Romano said:
"It's important to mention, many Liverpool fans are asking me after I dropped this bomba on my channels, does this mean that the deal is closing doors to signing another winger?
"My answer is no. My answer is that in the plan of Richard Hughes, they are doing an excellent job, Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards, in planning their signings and keeping things a secret until we have the exclusive bomb, like today, but they are working behind the scenes also to add at least one more winger to the squad."

Which Winger Will Liverpool Sign?

Unless Liverpool pull another surprise rabbit out of the hat, then it does appear to be a two-horse race between Diomande and Barcola as the club's next big winger signing.
GIVEMESPORT sources understand that Liverpool are really pushing to complete a deal for Diomande, having made progress on the player side of negotiations.
Club chiefs believe that he wants to move to Anfield, despite interest from PSG, but the major hurdle is Leipzig's asking price, with the Bundesliga outfit demanding in excess of £100m for the teenager.
Meanwhile, as contract negotiations between PSG and Barcola continue to stall, the likelihood of him leaving the Parc des Princes this summer rises.
Arsenal are also keen on the France international, who scored in his nation's opening win against Senegal at the 2026 World Cup.
Liverpool appear to be edging towards Diomande, but if they are unable to agree a deal, then don't be surprised if they pivot to Barcola instead.
