# ‘What an absolute steal’, ‘Please be real’ – Liverpool fans want Klopp to land £31.5m-rated ace

***The Liverpool fans in the Transfer Tavern were delighted when Fabinho moved to Anfield, but now our resident Reds are calling for a bit more action.***

It’s been a quiet few weeks for the club. After the excitement of last season, and the quick-fire signing of Fabinho, June was expected to be a month of huge excitement and progress.

It has been exciting, to a point, but it’s fair to say that more deals were expected. Their supposed decision to pass on the signing of Nabil Fekir has left fans, naturally, even more eager to sign a new player or two as well.

[Fortunately, Ian Doyle of the Liverpool Echo has speculated that Liverpool could look to take advantage of the situation surrounding Sporting Lisbon. He could be available on a free this summer after apparently rescinding his contract at the Portuguese club – and Jurgen Klopp is apparently a long-time fan.](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-could-snap-up-gelson-14772936)

A quick, technically gifted attacking midfielder, Martins has impressed over in Portugal for the last few years, and last year he picked up 8 goals and 9 assists in the league. [He’s rated at £31.5 million by Transfer Markt,](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gelson-martins/profil/spieler/257448) and so it’s no surprise that the prospect of a free transfer is enticing.

[The news has got the Liverpool fans over on Reddit talking, and it’s fair to say that they would love to see a deal go through. For many, he seems like the perfect target.](https://www.reddit.com/r/LiverpoolFC/comments/8qhi0b/liverpool_could_snap_up_gelson_martins_for_free/)
