Liverpool planning radical overhaul of squad
April 24th, 2011 - 3:59 pm ICT by ANILondon, Apr 24(ANI): Liverpool is reportedly planning a radical overhaul of their squad this summer with “up to 22 deals” in and out of the club.
According to the Telegraph, technical director Damien Comolli has been working to identify priority targets and will receive support from the club’s new owners, the Fenway Sports Group.
Manager Kenny Dalglish has spoken of the need to complement the club’s emerging talent with investment and it is understood that Comolli has located two or three targets for each position they want to strengthen.
French winger Sylvain Marveaux is expected to be the first signing when the window opens on June 1.
The club is working on trying to set up deals for the players out on loan - Paul Konchesky, Alberto Aquilani, Philipp Degen, Nabir El Zhar and Emiliano Insua - while there has also been interest in David Ngog, Sotirios Kyrgiakos and Milan Jovanovic, the report said.
Liverpool has struggled since finishing second in the Premier League two seasons ago. (ANI)
