Kylian Mbappe for sale, Fabinho claims, Romeo Lavia update
Liverpool transfer news, rumours, gossip and speculation, including the latest news on Kylian Mbappe, Fabinho, Romeo Lavia, Joshua Kimic and Jordan Henderson
With just three weekends left before the Premier League return, the Reds face a busy period when it comes to transfers. This will be largely influenced by the potential impact of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson traveling to Saudi Arabia.
As for the move to Anfield, a whole list of midfielders is related to the transfer. Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich became a possibility after his position was not as strong as it would have been, with Italians Niccolò Barrera and Marco Verratti already linked with summer transfers, while Romeo Lavia's situation is expected to progress in the coming days.
In other news, however, the news that Paris Saint-Germain has left Kylian Mbappe out of their pre-season plans has shocked the entire football community with the Frenchman's contract status reaching boiling point. The striker has been linked with Liverpool several times over the years, so if his current club wants to get rid of him by cutting prices, should Jurgen Klopp make a move?
Fabinho twists
Sky Germany's Florian Prettenberg reports that Bayern Munich are currently closely watching Fabinho's situation.
He explained that the Brazilian is about to join the Etihad squad and that Liverpool want to finalize the deal as soon as possible, but if it fails at the last minute, then Thomas Tuchel will be ready to step in.
Last week, the Brazilian did not travel to Germany with the rest of the German team due to a proposed transfer to Saudi Arabia.
With the absence of Kylian Mbappe, Liverpool's links will accelerate
According to the newspaper La Liga newspaper, Killian Mbappe was ruled out during Paris Saint-Germain's pre-season training in Japan because the striker had already signed a pre-agreement with Real Madrid before his contract expires in Paris next summer.
Since the Ligue 1 champions don't want to lose a player they bought for €180 million in 2017, they could force their exit this year to recover some of the costs.
