Steve McManaman names two midfielders Liverpool should avoid as Andy Robertson makes 'dream' transfer admission

It's time for your Liverpool FC morning digest on Saturday, September 24.

'Not convinced' - Steve McManaman tells Liverpool to steer clear of two midfielders they can sign for free

Steve McManaman has urged Jurgen Klopp to avoid signing Douglas Luiz or Youri Tielemans for Liverpool.

Liverpool made a move for Aurelien Tchouameni in the summer but the France international instead joined Real Madrid. Rumours were then rife of the Reds trying to bring in Aston Villa's Luis on transfer deadline day. Instead, they signed fellow Brazil international Arthur Melo from Juventus on loan for the season.

Liverpool are expected to make a bid for Borussia Dortmund's England international Jude Bellingham next summer while Tielemans, who is into the final year of his contract with Leicester City and looks unlikely to extended his stay at the King Power Stadium, has also been linked with a move to Anfield as Jurgen Klopp could be set to revamp his midfield.

But ex-Red McManaman wants Klopp to steer clear of the Belgium international - as well as Luiz, who could also be available on a free transfer next summer when his contract expires.

Andy Robertson makes admission over only club that could tempt him to leave Liverpool

Andy Robertson has admitted he wants to finish his career at Liverpool. However, if that isn’t possible, the Scotland captain does have a 'dream' transfer in mind.

Currently under contract at Anfield until 2026, the 28-year-old joined the Reds from Hull City in the summer of 2017 and has been Jurgen Klopp ’s first-choice left-back ever since winning a starting role midway through the 2017/18 season. But while he’s every major honour going with Liverpool while establishing himself as one of the best left-backs in world football, he is facing increasing pressure from understudy Kostas Tsimikas to retain his place.

Set to be 32 when his current contract expires, Robertson wants to remain at a high-enough level to retain his place and finish his career at Liverpool. But the boyhood Celtic fan admits he is also tempted by the possibility of joining the Hoops, who rejected him for being too small when he was a child, one day.

However, he’d only want to sign the Scottish giants on one condition.
