The latest Liverpool transfer whispers, include the Reds’ contact with Kylian Mbappe, as well as updates on Jordan Henderson, Thiago, Fede Valverde, Romeo Lavia, and Cheick Doucoure.
The 33-year-old completed his medical in Manchester on Friday, ahead of a £12 million move to Al Ettifaq. Henderson’s 12-year career with Liverpool would come to an end with him joining up with the man he replaced as Reds captain, Steven Gerrard.
Fabinho, his midfield partner, is also the subject of rumours over his future. The Brazilian did not travel to Germany with Jurgen Klopp’s squad after receiving a £40 million bid from Al Ittihad, another Saudi Pro League club.
In the event that talks fall through, Bayern Munich is thought to be monitoring the situation with Nuno Espirito Santo’s team and Liverpool.
Kylian Mbappe’s future is unknown as he continues to be linked with Liverpool. And, as the Reds prepare to lose two more midfielders, speculation about their replacements intensifies.
Kylian Mbappe
The PSG forward is entangled in yet another issue, with his future at the Ligue 1 club in doubt. Mbappe has already stated that he does not wish to extend his contract with the Parisiens beyond 2024, which has sparked more speculation, leading the club to omit the striker from their tour of Japan.
According to Football Transfers, Liverpool has made touch with Mbappe’s representatives about the move. They are, however, unable to compete financially with the likes of Arsenal, who are also rumoured to be keen.
According to Spanish media outlet SPORT, PSG is open to hearing bids for the forward this summer. Real Madrid are largely regarded as the frontrunners, but Sport reports that Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Chelsea have also inquired about Mbappe.
Meanwhile, L’Equipe reports that Real Madrid is content to wait until the France international’s contract expires next summer.
Fede Valverde
According to El Nacional, Liverpool could rekindle their interest in Real Madrid player Fede Valverde.
Real Madrid are interested in signing PSG star Kylian Mbappe, according to reports. It has been suggested that the Frenchman’s absence from their tour of Japan could pave the way for a move to Los Blancos.
The possible financial implications of the Mbappe deal, according to the Spanish newspaper, could clear the door for Real Madrid to sell him.
El Nacional reports that Liverpool are ‘crazy’ with Valverde and could sign him for €80 million (£69 million).
