Liverpool transfer roundup: Reds told Kylian Mbappé price as defensive run ramps up

Liverpool may be Premier League champions, but Jurgen Klopp has spent the summer transfer window beefing up his side to ensure they are even stronger than last season.

The Reds have brought in Thiago Alcantara, Diogo Jota and Kostas Tsimikas, but more new names could come to Anfield before the window closes on October 5.

Klopp is currently facing a mini injury crisis, with Thiago and Alisson doubtful for Monday’s game against Arsenal, and Jordan Henderson and Joel Matip out.

As well as weighing whether he needs to bring in reinforcements, the Liverpool manager could also look to shed a fringe player or two over the next week.

Here’s the latest Liverpool transfer rundown.

The Reds look for Mbappé, but the change of Madrid seems inevitable

Kylian Mbappé is a Liverpool target, but he has already decided to sign for Real Madrid next summer.

The French superstar has informed Paris Saint-Germain bosses that he wants to move on next summer, putting several of Europe’s top clubs on alert.

French publication L’Equipe claims the Reds are in ‘constant contact’ about a possible deal for Mbappé, 21, and that Liverpool could reward him with £ 91 million if he does not sign a contract extension at the Parc des Princes.

Wilson should leave Liverpool, says Phillips

It doesn’t make sense for Harry Wilson to stay at Liverpool, according to former Sunderland striker Kevin Phillips.

The attacker is the subject of a £ 12 million offer from Burnley, and Phillips believes Wilson has no future at Anfield.

He told Football Insider: “It could be one of those players who go on loan and loan.

“We have seen it with many players over the years, and you cannot believe that they are still linked to a club because they have been on loan so many times. You forget which club they really belong to.

“Wilson fits that mold for me. A permanent move would be best for him.

“There is no point staying at Liverpool if they have made it clear that he will not be part of the team.
