# Liverpool: Fans positive after Saul Niguez update

**A number of Liverpool supporters are excited about the Reds possibly signing Atletico Madrid star Saul Niguez this summer following an update on his future.**

Jurgen Klopp may be looking for a new central midfielder ahead of next season following the exit of Gini Wijnaldum to Paris Saint-Germain. The Dutchman was a [huge player for Liverpool](https://www.si.com/soccer/2019/05/07/liverpool-barcelona-champions-league-video-highlights-messi-suarez-mane) during his five years at the club, so not replacing him could be deemed a risk, given his quality and availability.

One player who could potentially move to Anfield is Saul, who has been a fantastic player for Atletico, [scoring 43 goals in 337 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/saul-niguez/alletore/spieler/148928) for the La Liga champions.

According to [Atleti Francia on Twitter](https://twitter.com/AtletiFrancia/status/1413077252863049728?s=20) \[via [LFC Transfer Room](https://twitter.com/LFCTransferRoom/status/1413116556683485184?s=20)\], Liverpool are going on the ‘offensive’ to sign the midfielder this summer. They are reportedly going to bid €40m (£34.3m) for the Spaniard’s services and Atletico could accept the offer.
