It’s been evidently clear since the departure of Pepe Reina that Liverpool has needed a world-class goalkeeper. Both Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius have proved themselves to be average from the get-go. But in the UEFA Champions League Final, the latter showed that he was never fit to wear the Liverpool shirt in the first place. If the Reds are ever to progress under Jurgen Klopp, a new keeper is of the utmost importance this summer.
Here are 5 goalkeepers that Liverpool should aim to sign in the summer.
2Gianluigi Buffon
What a statement of intent this would be! Without a doubt, Gianluigi Buffon is the greatest goalkeeper in the sport’s history. At 40 years of age, Buffon is one of the few players ever to play over 1000 competitive games.
With his Juventus career over, Buffon needs to now end his career at a club rich with European heritage, Liverpool fit that bill. Experience, a winner’s mentality, class and leadership is what Gianluigi Buffon will bring to Anfield if Jurgen Klopp takes this bold leap of faith.
