Who?
Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Haaland.
Where?
What?
According to the report, the Reds along with PSG, Real Madrid and Manchester City are the frontrunners to sign the Norway international next summer.
It has been widely reported that Haaland will have a £75m release clause in his contract which comes into effect at the end of the season.
In the recent report in Germany, it has been claimed that Mohamed Salah has demanded that Liverpool sign a new forward as part of his contract negotiations.
Who?
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham.
Where?
What?
According to the report, Dortmund have opened talks over a double deal involving Jude Bellingham and his younger brother Jobe amid strong Liverpool interest.
The report further claims that the German club are attempting to sweeten the deal for the 18-year-old and his family by also signing Birmingham City youngster Jobe, who is 16.
Having moved to Dortmund from Birmingham City in 2020, the midfielder is considered one of the most highly-rated players in world football.
The ECHO has previously reported that although Liverpool have been monitoring Bellingham's development, suggestions of a permanent move are premature.
Who?
Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo.
Where?
Spanish publication El Nacional.
What?
The report from Spain claims that Araujo is being tracked by the Reds and the young defender is concerned about the club’s financial difficulties and has started to delay talks about a new contract.
The report further claims that Xavi’s side value him at around €45m (£38m) and Liverpool have been alerted by his uncertainty and are keeping a close eye on any developments emanating from the Nou Camp.
