Liverpool<\/a> will shortly announce Andoni Iraola\u2019s appointment as their head coach after Arne Slot was relieved of his duties last weekend, and a major squad rebuild could follow in the summer transfer<\/a> window.<\/p>\n

It is expected that midfield will be a key area of concern for the incoming manager as well as the board with Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch playing majority minutes with not much quality or depth in the engine room.<\/p>\n

With Curtis Jones\u2019 future also under speculation, Caught Offside has reported that Liverpool are ready to go toe-to-toe with Manchester United<\/a> over the signing of West Ham<\/a> United midfielder Mateus Fernandes.<\/p>\n

He is expected to depart the Hammers during the transfer window following their relegation from the Premier League<\/a>, and it is believed that it would take \u00a380 million for the interested party to secure the player\u2019s services.<\/p>\n

Fernandes a top quality signing<\/h2>\n

Manchester United are not done yet in the transfer window, even as far as midfield signings are concerned, in spite of agreeing to sign Atalanta midfielder Ederson, and therefore, they retain a strong interest in Mateus Fernandes.<\/p>\n

That said, Liverpool\u2019s entry into the picture for the West Ham United star\u2019s transfer comes as no surprise considering Andoni Iraola\u2019s playing style revolving around high intensity, pressing football, where a player of Fernandes\u2019 calibre would be key.<\/p>\n

Fernandes, 21, works very hard without the ball by pressing and utilising his physicality to dispossess opponents, while in possession, he is capable of driving forward higher up the pitch, making him an ideal fit for Liverpool next season.<\/p>\n

Alexis Mac Allister might well be the player sacrificed from the starting eleven to make way for him after an underwhelming campaign, and Liverpool, despite competition from United, will fancy their chances of signing Mateus Fernandes.<\/p>\n
