With Liverpool being turned down Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, the Reds are in a desperate situation in the transfer market and according to former star Carragher, their current predicament is 'a joke'.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Carragher said: “It leaves Liverpool in a pretty difficult place.
“They need to sign someone in midfield and people know that they’re desperate. They put a bid in for Lavia today for £60million when they refused to pay £50million just four or five days ago.
“It’s been an absolute mess – it’s a joke.
“The biggest problem is that Liverpool have known they need midfield reinforcements since August last year, so 12 months ago.”
