Liverpool have already been warned it will cost them £100million to land Wolves midfield maestro Ruben Neves before Thursday’s transfer deadline. Jurgen Klopp has admitted he was “wrong” in believing his side did not need to bolster in the centre of this park this summer with the Reds now facing a race against time to sign a midfielder before the window slam shuts.
Heading into the summer window, Liverpool were tipped to acquire a new all-action midfield enforcer, but after being pipped to the signing of Aurelien Tchouameni by Real Madrid, the Reds postponed those plans until next summer. Injuries have since ravaged Klopp’s ranks, forcing the German into making a U-turn over his stubborn stance that they had enough options in the middle of the pitch.
Speaking ahead of the Reds’ match against Bournemouth, Klopp confessed he had made a mistake, insisting his side did in fact require a new midfield recruit. He admitted: “I know we have had this discussion since it all started and I am the one who said we don’t need a midfielder and you were all right and I was wrong. That’s the situation.
“But the specific point doesn’t change – we will do something but it has to be the right one. We are looking for it and if it is the right player we need him and if it is not the right player we don’t need him.”
How highly do you rate Rúben Neves?

Yes please to Liverpool
if liverpool lose this player i guarantee you city will come for him
Hope we get him he's perfect
He's practially begging us to bid for him, if we end up with that Konrad Laimer or bloody Sander Berge or most likely, no one, I might revolt at the next match…
If you want goals from midfield, here's your man
Great replacement for Hendo and Fabinho
