Kylian Mbappe talks stall as Liverpool 'could save' £32m on transfer

Liverpool continued to put pressure on their title rivals with a 4-0 win over Southampton at the weekend.

Diogo Jota, Thiago Alcantara, and Virgil van Dijk were all on target for Jurgen Klopp’s side, as Chelsea dropped points to Manchester United.

However, Liverpool have had to contend with injuries in recent weeks and have been linked with moves for several players to help boost their title bid.

Here’s a roundup of the latest names that have appeared on the Liverpool rumour mill, ahead of the January transfer window.

What?

The French forward has hit a “stalemate” in his talks over a new contract with PSG, according to reports.

Mbappe’s stance provides a “fresh boost” for Liverpool, the Mirror claims, with the 22-year-old in the final year of his deal.

Spanish publication Dario AS reports that there “has been no progress” in the discussions, with the player’s view still the same as it was in the summer, when he was linked with a move to Real Madrid.

The Mirror maintain that the latest developments “could intrigue” Liverpool, but the Spanish side remain favourites to sign the striker.

Wolves winger Adama Traore

What?

Liverpool could allegedly save £32m by making a move for Wolves winger Adama Traore in January.

Football Insider claims that Traore is now priced at £18m by the club, who the report says was valued at £50m as recently as this summer.

The Reds have been consistently linked with the Spain international, with Jurgen Klopp said to be “keen” on signing a forward ahead of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane’s participation in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Wolves’ decision to cash in on Traore, as per the report, is associated with the club’s desire to snap up loanee Hwang Hee-chan on a permanent basis.

Who?

Aaron Ramsey

Where?

What?

Liverpool are reported to be “eyeing” a move for Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey.

Sport Witness reports, via Fichajes, that Jurgen Klopp is looking to bolster his midfield options, having not replaced Gini Wijnaldum in the summer.

Ramsey, it is claimed, may be set to leave Juventus in January after falling out of favour returning Juve manager Massimiliano Allegri.

Sport Witness say the Wales international, who has 18 months remaining on his current contract, is “keen on the idea of returning to the Premier League”.
