Liverpool is reportedly eyeing Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong, believing he could be available for €35 million (£29.3 million). The Reds are interested in signing the Dutch midfielder, whose contract expires in 2026. Meanwhile, Liverpool is also close to agreeing personal terms with Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, with a £45 million transfer fee potentially being discussed. However, it’s rumored that Liverpool won’t make a fresh offer for Guehi in January and instead plan to sign him on a free transfer next summer.

Transfer Rumors:

– Frenkie de Jong: Liverpool believes Barcelona’s financial difficulties could make De Jong available for a lower fee than his €400 million release clause.
– Marc Guehi: Liverpool and Crystal Palace are expected to initiate discussions on a potential transfer, with Guehi’s contract expiring in 12 months.

Liverpool’s Transfer Strategy:

– Prioritizing Talent: Liverpool seems determined to strengthen their squad, focusing on key positions and players who fit their long-term vision.
– Financial Considerations: The club’s transfer decisions will likely be influenced by financial constraints and the potential for players to join on free transfers in the future ¹ ² ³.
