The one Man City player Liverpool should try to sign if rivals forced into fire sale

Liverpool Echo writers debate which Manchester City player Liverpool should target if possible sanctions over financial breaches lead to a squad fire sale. While Erling Haaland is discussed, contributors highlight midfield needs, with writer Richard Garnett and colleagues pointing to teenage midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi and £116m summer signing Elliot Anderson as prime targets over forwards.

Manchester City face serious potential sanctions ranging from fines to relegation after an independent commission ruling, which the club is appealing. Liverpool writers suggest that midfield reinforcements like Anderson or Bouaddi would address central tactical priorities better than signing another striker alongside Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike.
