Could Liverpool be preparing for another major shake-up in their attack next summer?

On Newsround with Lewis, Lewis reacts to reports that Liverpool are keeping a close eye on Rayan, a player Andoni Iraola knows well from Bournemouth. With a reported £130m release clause becoming active next summer, Lewis questions whether Liverpool could possibly justify that price — and whether any move would depend on Cody Gakpo leaving Anfield.

Michael Olise also enters the discussion as Lewis assesses whether Liverpool could ever tempt the Bayern star to Anfield, while arguing that strengthening midfield should be a greater priority than spending another enormous fee on an attacker.

There's also discussion surrounding Federico Chiesa's future, with Lewis believing a January departure is becoming increasingly possible given his lack of involvement.

Finally, attention turns to Liverpool's Premier League clash with Fulham as Lewis picks his starting XI, explains why Ronald Araujo should keep his place and calls the fixture a must-win for Iraola's side.

Could Liverpool be preparing to say goodbye to two of the defining players of their modern era?

On today's Newsround with Lewis, Lewis reacts to reports that Liverpool do not intend to offer Alisson Becker a new contract, potentially bringing the Brazilian goalkeeper's remarkable eight-year stay at Anfield to an end next summer.

Attention also turns to Virgil van Dijk, with interest reportedly emerging from Saudi Arabia, MLS and Turkey as Liverpool consider whether to extend their captain's contract. Lewis explains why he believes Van Dijk can still play a major role at Anfield and why losing both him and Alisson in the same summer would represent a huge changing of the guard.

There's also discussion around Liverpool's future goalkeeper plans, including Giorgi Mamardashvili and highly rated youngster Luka Brugmann, as the Reds prepare for life beyond some of the biggest names of the Klopp era.
