Despite their off-field problems, Liverpool are reportedly hot on the heels of 19-year-old starlet Georginio Wijnaldum of Feyenoord.
According to the Daily Mail, the club is being forced to alter their transfer strategy this summer in the face of mounting financial problems.
Coupled with recent news that the club is up for sale having drafted in new chairman Martin Broughton, the Reds are believed to be looking towards younger stars with smaller price tags.
Traditionally the Anfield side has targeted established players for big money, but that is all set to change this summer.
The financial worries at the club show no sign of abating and it is reported that Broughton has given the green light to a new sponsorship deal with Standard Chartered, which contains a pre-requisite that the club qualify for the Champions League in order for the full £80 million-a-year to be paid.
With such off-field financial troubles, acquiring Wijnaldum would be good business for Rafael Benitez.
The talented Rotterdam born midfielder has scored four times this season in 31 Eredivisie outings.
