Who?

Federico Valverde, Real Madrid midfielder.

Where?

Spanish news outlet El Nacional.

What?

According to the report, Jurgen Klopp is “obsessed” with signing Valverde and is determined to bring the player to Anfield.

The report goes on to state that while Valverde’s contract runs until 2027, he is said to be unhappy at the lack of regular game time under Carlo Ancelotti.

This is where Liverpool come in, and it has been claimed that the Reds are willing to make an offer worth £66million to bring Valverde to Merseyside.

It has also been stated that were Liverpool to make this offer, then it would be “carefully considered” by Real.

Who?

Toni Kroos, Real Madrid midfielder.

Where?
El Nacional, once again.

What?

In a separate report, it has been claimed that Liverpool could make a move to sign Kroos this summer.

They say that Kroos has become a “key target” for Liverpool in the summer transfer window, and are preparing to make an offer.

It has been claimed that Liverpool will bid £25million to bring the 32-year-old to Anfield at the end of the season.

Kroos’ current deal in the Spanish capital runs out in 2023, having initially signed for Real from Bayern Munich in 2014.

Who?

Kenny Rocha Santos, KV Oostende midfielder.

Where?

Belgian news outlet Voetbal Flitsen.

What?

According to the report, the young midfielder has emerged as a potential target for Liverpool during the January transfer window.

Santos, who is a Cape Verde international, is apparently available to leave Oostende should a bid worth £8.3million be made.

However, the report states that the Belgian club are determined to keep hold of the 22-year-old, who has made 23 appearances since arriving as a free agent last summer.

Santos is a central midfielder, who is capable of playing in either a defensive-minded role or as a No.10, and is also said to be attracting interest from Porto and Feyenoord.
