1) Kevin Strootman
Roma star Strootman would be a classy addition to the Reds set-up, with a proven Champions League pedigree and international experience with Holland. However, two major stumbling blocks make it a hard deal to get over the line.
The 25-year-old has not kicked a ball in anger since January and knee surgery has kept him sidelined since then. Roma are also nailed on to qualify for the Champions League – something Liverpool look unlikely to achieve.
