Liverpool make transfer priorities clear as three-man midfield shortlist emerges

Liverpool have established a three-man midfield shortlist for a potential permanent signing in 2027, reportedly preferring Bournemouth's Alex Scott and Monaco's Lamine Camara over Borussia Dortmund's Felix Nmecha. While Liverpool recently contacted Nmecha's representatives, Sky Germany reports they are not preparing a formal bid, with the German international considered behind Scott and Camara in the club's hierarchy.

The Reds plan to strengthen their central midfield after Curtis Jones departed for Inter Milan without a direct replacement. According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool want an immediate starter or long-term core player, though Scott's reported £80m-plus valuation could present an obstacle compared to Camara or Nmecha.
