Liverpool transfers - Federico Valverde £85m, Femi Azeez blow, Mikkel Damsgaard linked

Just days remain in the summer transfer window and clubs across Europe are scrambling to complete any last minute deals before Tuesday's 11pm (BST) deadline.

Liverpool have had a rather quiet summer so far with just one major incoming in RB Leipzig defender Ibrahima Konate.

The Reds are yet to replace the departed Georginio Wijnaldum and Xherdan Shaqiri has also moved on this summer as he joined French side Lyon earlier in the week.

Time is ticking, so here is all the latest transfer news, rumours and gossip from around the globe.

Who?

Femi Azeez

What?

Liverpool's hopes of signing Reading winger Femi Azeez have been 'dashed', according to reports.

CaughtOffiside claim that the Reds were 'working' to sign the Azeez from the Championship club ahead of Tuesday's transfer deadline.

However, the 20-year-old was absent from the Royals' 4-0 defeat to Huddersfield Town on Saturday due to a soft tissue injury that will keep him sidelined until later this year.

Manager Veljko Paunovic said post match: "Femi has a soft tissue injury and he will be out for two to three months."

Who?

Mikkel Damsgaard

Where?

la Repubblica

What?

Liverpool have been labelled as an 'eligible candidate' for Sampdoria's Mikkel Damsgaard, according to reports in Italy.

The winger was a stand out performer for Denmark at Euro 2020 this summer and rumours emerged this week that the Reds sent a scout to watch the 21-year-old in Sampdoria's defeat to AC Milan last weekend.

The report also claims that Leeds United are one of the clubs also interested in the player as Aston Villa also have eyes on Damsgaard.

He's also been linked with a move to Tottenham this summer and reports earlier in the window claimed the London club had submitted a £17 million bid for the player.

Now, it seems Liverpool and Leeds are the two clubs that are 'genuine contenders' to sign Damsgaard ahead of Tuesday's deadline, if reports from Italy are to be believed.

Who?

Federico Valverde

Where?

Bernabeu Digital

What?

Liverpool 'considered' making a move for Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde, according to reports in Spain.

The Uruguay international signed a new long-term contract this week, keeping him at the Bernabeu until 2027.

However, the report suggests the Merseyside club held interest in the 23-year-old earlier this summer and 'were willing to pay' £85.7m to secure his services.

It goes on to say that a formal offer was never put forward after the player's agent made it clear that his intention was to stay at Real Madrid and renew his contract.
