Liverpool line up THREE goalkeepers to spend Philippe Coutinho cash on reinforcements
LIVERPOOL have already put plans in place to spend the money from Philippe Coutinho’s transfer to Barcelona on a new goalkeeper, according to reports.
Barcelona have agreed a deal worth £142million to sign Coutinho from Liverpool with £102m being paid upfront.
That leaves Jurgen Klopp under pressure to reinvest well in the squad while also finding an adequate replacement.
Virgil van Dijk has already arrived at Anfield to help shore up the defence and he made an instant impact on his debut with the winning goal against Everton on Friday.
But Coutinho’s departure leaves a gaping hole in Liverpool’s squad further up the field.
Thomas Lemar has been heavily linked with a move to Merseyside and reportedly favours a move there over Arsenal while Riyad Mahrez has also been touted as a possible target.
However, many pundits and former professionals believe Liverpool are in dire need of signing a world-class goalkeeper with Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius under increasing pressure.
And The Independent claim Liverpool have drawn up a list of three potential targets.

Jan Oblak reportedly heads the list but he could be slightly out of their price range with a release clause of £100million.
Allison has attracted interest from all over Europe for his displays at Roma having joined the Serie A giants 18 months ago.
The report also suggests Jack Butland is on Liverpool’s radar with rumours recently suggesting the Stoke goalkeeper is interested in a move to Anfield.
