Arne Slot's search for a creative midfielder at Liverpool is complicated by Tijjani Reijnders' imminent contract renewal with AC Milan until June 2030. Although Liverpool initially targeted Reijnders, they must now consider an alternative, potentially Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona. Liverpool sees a 35m fee for de Jong as fair, but his willingness to accept a pay cut remains a concern, especially as he enjoys a lucrative contract at Barcelona, significantly exceeding the wages of most Liverpool players.
Arne Slot's desire for a creative midfielder at Liverpool faces a setback with Tijjani Reijnders set to sign a new deal with AC Milan.
With Reijnders likely to extend his contract until 2030, Liverpool may shift focus towards signing Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona this summer.
Liverpool views Frenkie de Jong's potential transfer fee of 35m as reasonable, but the player may be reluctant to accept a pay cut.
