Liverpool 'would not hesitate' to sign surprise Barcelona star as Adama Traore deal fast-tracked

Liverpool are preparing to take on Porto tonight, with Jurgen Klopp set to have some decisions to make.

The Reds have already qualified for the knockout rounds of the Champions League with games to spare, meaning a rotated side is highly likely.

However, due to Liverpool ’s several injury concerns, tonight’s matchday squad could have a youthful look to it, leading to growing speculation ahead of the January transfer window.

Here’s a roundup of the latest Liverpool transfer rumours.

Who?

Ismaila Sarr

Where?

The Boot Room , via Calciomercato

What?

The Watford winger has long been touted as a potential target for Jurgen Klopp, dating back to last season.

Sarr has enjoyed a successful start to the season following Watford’s return to the Premier League, scoring five in 12 games.

The Boot Room claim, via Calciomercato, that Liverpool hold a “strong interest” in the 23-year-old.

However, the report also highlights that any potential move for Sarr in January would not provide reinforcements for the Reds during the Africa Cup of Nations, as Sarr is Sadio Mane’s inernational teammate.

Who?

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Where?

El Nacional

What?

The Spanish publication has said that ter Stegen has grown “upset” at Barcelona, sparking interest from Liverpool.

The report speculates that the goalkeeper has suffered a dip in form, but could still command a big enough fee to enable Barcelona to be active in the transfer market.

El Nacional claim that Jurgen Klopp “would not hesitate” to make a move for the German international, having previously shown interest in the 29-year-old.

Who?

Adama Traore

Where?

Football Insider

What?

Wolves are apparently ready to listen to offers for Adama Trarore in January, with Liverpool being credited with an interest.

Traore has been consistently rumoured with a move to Liverpool and the report claims that the Reds have received “new encouragement” over a potential deal.

It is said that Wolves will "listen to offers" for Traore in order to raise funds to sign Hwang Hee-chan on a permanent basis from Red Bull Salzburg in January.

However, somewhat confusingly, Liverpool have also been linked with a move for the South Korea international in recent weeks.
