Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to respond to the latest transfer rumour surrounding the club.
This comes after Liverpool news Twitter account @LFCTransferRoom shared a post on their page relaying news originally published in a report by Sport.
The report claims that Reds manager Jurgen Klopp is “in love” with Lille midfielder Boubakary Soumare and will “battle” Real Madrid for his signature.
The report also claims that the Merseyside club were “negotiating” with the player but they weren’t able to find an agreement last summer. The post also added that Soumare’s price tag is said to be £35 million.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Liverpool fans who were keen to have their say on this latest development.
Here’s a sample of Liverpool fans responding to the post:

Do Liverpool need to sign another central midfielder this summer?
Yes
No
The 21-year-old midfielder is currently valued at £24.3 million according to Transfermarkt. Soumare is having a rather disappointing season for the French side so far having totalled a season rating of 6.35/10, making him Lille’s 18th highest rated performer (per WhoScored). Now that it has been reported that Klopp is interested in the Frenchman, this has paved the way for lots of Liverpool fans to have their say on this latest link.
Stunning

What do we think?
It seems strange that Klopp and Real Madrid are infatuated with Soumare when he has had a disappointing season for Lille so far this year.
