Liverpool have said goodbye to Timo Werner. Chelsea have moved ahead of the Reds and now Jürgen Klopp must plan next season without his big wish. That's why it has become a priority to shield Alisson and Van Dijk.
If there are two vital players at Liverpool, they are Alisson Becker and Van Dijk. Firmino, Salah, and Mané get the applause for their goals, but teams are built from the back. Liverpool know it and that's why they will prioritise their renewals.
Timo Werner is now history. Chelsea have made a statement and have, barring a big surprise, taken the German striker after weeks of flirtation between him and Klopp.
It has been a disappointment, but life goes on. That's why, according to 'Mundo Deportivo', the priority now is to shield the team's mainstays. And the are Van Dijk and Alisson.
The CB and the goalkeeper are starters beyond question for Klopp, the best in the world in their positions, and Liverpool will make an effort to avoid them being tempted to move to another team.
