Liverpool do not need to sign a midfielder to replace Coutinho, instead, they must sign a quality winger to add depth to their already brilliant offense.
In the current campaign, the Reds have won more league games in the absence of Coutinho than with him in the team. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain impressed big time vs Man City and Klopp has got stars like Lallana, Milner, Wijnaldum, Can and Henderson in the central midfield as well.
Even if Can departs, Keita is going to arrive to strengthen the midfield. However, the Reds lack depth in the attacking third. Sturridge is still there and has got the quality to cover for Firmino but there is no one who can replace Salah and Mane.

In such a scenario, the Reds must sign a star winger and luring someone like Gelson Martins will make Liverpool unstoppable.
Under Klopp, the Merseysiders attack with ferocious speed and Martins will further amplify the pace in their attack.
The 22-year-old star, who has a release clause of $73.5million (via Record), is not just fast but he has also got the trickery and dribbling ability to beat defenders. This season, the Portuguese international has so far scored 9 goals and provided 9 assists in all competitions for Sporting CP, who are currently on top of the Primeira Liga.
Capable of playing effectively on either flank, he can replace the likes of Mane and Salah and Klopp can even utilize him with the African duo in a 4-2-3-1 setup.
In your opinion, should Liverpool splash the cash to sign Martins?

Yeah,it is good idea but the earlier the better.Klopp should also consider our man Sane as Liverpool future star at Anfield.If you love what you are doing then you can do better than expected, so I request if possible then Sane is our upcoming Anfield Star.Klopp should keep aside the ideas of bringing in those who are not interested in Anfield like Keita,Mahrez and Sanchez.Let the follow their way to where the want to go.
I agree that Klopp should drop interest in those who don’t really want the move to Anfield But you mentioned Keita as one of those players which I would totally Disagree with you as the Lad is desperate to come to Liverpool and learn from Klopp and pushed to come in earlier so Keita will be a great buy.
Although Sanchez is a great player I just feel his wage demands which if true Man Un-United have offered him £300K
Is too much and would cause unrest within our squad which we don’t need and at 29 isn’t going to be a player that stays for 4 or 5 years and grows with our great Young Team/Squad ?
That’s my own personal view but the guy is world class and I would prefer to see someone like an out to out Striker to come in and get rid of Sturridge asap while he is fit and has a value and bring in say Aubameyang who at 28 and also a world class
Striker is availabe for around £45-£50M !! I understand Klopp has been interested in the past but Now ?? But then you could use Firmino just behind Aubameyang and just add even more Firepower and Pace in attack !!! YNWA
Without a Doubt we are short of a winger or 2 to cover for Salah & Mane as if one of those boys go down then it messes up our system !!! I would also say we are short of a striker as I personally Beleive Stirridge needs to be sold asap and another Striker brought in. Finally as we are talking about positions required I would like to see a young world class GK brought in too even if that means not until the summer !! That just leaves in my View another CB that can also play in the other Defensive positions such as Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly who at 6″4 or 6″5 who is a Monster in the Air and can also play LB/RB and not forgetting also DM !! To have such a great defender with Pace and can play those other positions WoW would be a great Addition to the Club but I expect Klopp is looking only at the GK role to replace now we have VVD and his favourite Midfielders I expect to see more of lol.
