Klopp as hinted that a winger might be a priority in the summer but not wholesale changes.
{Ed002's Note - Clearly Liverpool have been looking in particular at wingers with their scouting and that in itself may sound the death knell for Markovic. With Ibe, Ojo and Canos on the books in addition to several players like Milner, Origi, Lallana and Firmino who are comfortable in those positions and youngsters like Kent, it seems some sort of reshuffle will be necessary. Liverpool don’t seem to have honed in on one target but they are certainly looking.}

Anyone in particular we seem to be watching ed now?
{Ed002's Note - See above.}

Could sane still be an option ed2?
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool looked but I don't see him as ever having been a viable option. Schalke rejected bids from Spurs and Stoke for Leroy Sane in the summer of 2015. A number of clubs from across Europe have had the player watched in the first and reserve sides towards the end of last season and at the start of this - including Manchester United, Barcelona, Sunderland, Manchester City, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Bayer Leverkusen, PSG, West Ham and RBL. Do not discount a bid from Manchester City in the summer after an approach was pushed back in January - where they were loathe to meet the potential asking price, even though they were willing to make a very significant offer. Know Manchester City know that a bid from Barcelona is imminent and that will be immediately followed by a bid from Real Madrid as the three clubs battle over a summer move. As to whether he is ready just yet, no, probably not. There is the potential to yet again see a great talent squashed (at least for a year or two).}

Maybe if one or too leave ed
Lallana May go but still need to open more slots.
{Ed002's Note - Maybe but I am not aware of any proposal to sell Lallana. If they were looking to sell they would likely have his agent looking around for interest. If Markovic leaves there will be no need to replace him - the same with Canos. So space needs to be made as the club are looking at wingers as we know.}

Need a pacey winger Ibe hasn't done enough this season to be the main man put wide.

Ibe is still growing, i think he could become very good player but agree, would be good to have a proven winger signed up!
That said would also like Marko to have a shot!

That's a fantastic piece of info Ed02. That's an area we neve really looked into in the past.
