Liverpool 'could move' for Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger on free transfer

The transfer window remains closed until January, and Jurgen Klopp now knows what Liverpool squad he has to work with for the next couple of months, at least.

Ibrahima Konate was the only first-team addition that the Reds brought to the club, while several left Anfield either on a loan basis or on permanent deals.

Despite the transfer window being closed, Liverpool continue to be linked with potential new players when deals can be completed again in the New Year.

Here, we take a lookout some of the latest rumours doing the rounds online and on social media and how likely they are to happen.

What?

According to the report, Liverpool are keeping tabs on Rudiger’s contract situation at Chelsea.

Rudiger’s contract at Stamford Bridge runs out at the end of the season, and there are growing rumours that he could leave on a free transfer.

The report adds Liverpool are being kept in the loop over Rudiger’s contract situation, and could make a move should an opportunity arise.

It has also been claimed that Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are also in the running to sign Rudiger, should he not sign an extension.

Rumours also say that there is growing expectation that Rudiger will not sign a new deal, meaning leaving at the end of the campaign is likely.

Who?

Kingsley Coman, Bayern Munich forward.

Where?
AS , Spanish news outlet.

What?

According to the report, Bayern are considering letting Coman leave next summer, so they avoid losing him on a free transfer a year later.

Liverpool have been linked with the Bayern Munich forward in recent months, with the player’s contract running out in 2023.

The report states that the Reds remain interested in the France international, with Manchester United also being credited with an interest.

It has also been claimed that Bayern would prefer Coman signed a new deal, but his wage demands believed to be around £12.6-£13.4m a year are proving to be a major stumbling block.

Who?

Ansu Fati, Barcelona forward.

What?

According to the report, Liverpool made a move to bring the talented youngster to Anfield.

Fati recently signed a new contract at Barcelona, with reports suggesting there is a 1billion euros (£842million) release clause in his new deal.

The report states that Liverpool wanted Fati to be a star on Merseyside, and made him a contract offer worth £240,000 a week

It has also been claimed that Fati’s agent, Jorge Mendes, felt that remaining in Spain was a better fit for the 18-year-old as opposed to moving to Anfield.
