Liverpool report: Reds consider offloading popular forward to land the midfielder
Liverpool has been hit hard by a lack of midfield depth, and they could take drastic measures to address the issue…

And, while he urged his old club not to rush into a signing, it seems like the Reds could do business before the transfer window closes on September 1.
According to Calciomercato (via the Liverpool Echo),(opens in new tab) the 2019/20 Premier League champions are keen to bring Paredes to Anfield.
The report adds that fan favorite Firmino could head to PSG as part of a deal for the 28-year-old – who joined the Ligue 1 giants from Zenit Saint Petersburg in January 2019.
Might a straight swap even be possible? Well, both players are said to be valued at between £21m and £25m.
Letting Firmino go would be something of a risk for Liverpool, though: the 30-year-old Brazilian may have fallen down the pecking order, but he continues to prove invaluable to Klopp as a false nine option.
Besides, with Diogo Jota still sidelined and Darwin Nunez suspended, he’s rather needed to lead the line as the Reds chase their first win of the season.
