REDS EYE WHITE AGAIN
Virgil Van Dijk’s body is not cold yet, but … oh, he’s not dead … What is this all about then? – It has already been spoken of who can fill the boots of the Liverpool defender.
Jamie Carragher has suggested that the Reds make a move in January for RB Leipzig’s Dayot Upamecano.. The idea has been raised before, but not until next summer, when the French defender will be available for around £ 38 million.
Before the winter window, a family bond is emerging. Football Insider says Brighton’s Ben White is back on the Reds’ radar. Liverpool scouts were known to be looking at White during his stint at Leeds last season and the reports were positive.
Leeds failed to reach a deal with Brighton for the central defender, and the Seagulls turned down three offers, the last of which came in at around £ 25 million. Liverpool’s urgency will not cheapen the 22-year-old.

MBAPPE NO CLOSER TO THE PSG OFFER
Another old link with Liverpool circulating this morning is that of Kylian Mbappé.
The parisian says the French star has shown no desire to even speak to PSG about a renewal, in which case he will most likely be sold next summer before the final year of his contract.
Liverpool, Barcelona and Real Madrid are casually thrown into history, and Reds interest is well established. Barcelona couldn’t afford Mbappé without sending Lionel Messi the other way, but Real appears to be the big favorite, with Florentino Pérez saving all his pennies for the French star.
NEYMAR WANTS TO STAY AT PSG
Mbappé may not be willing to stay in Paris, but the same story suggests that Neymar is.
The Brazilian was trying to leave France almost since he arrived from Barcelona, with the return to Camp Nou being his preferred option. But those options have been reduced and Neymar seems to have come to the conclusion that he is better where he is.
So the fact that PSG didn’t bring him to the negotiating table has been a disappointment. Neymar’s contract expires at the same time as Mbappé’s but Manchester United opponents tonight he doesn’t seem so concerned with convincing him to stay.
EX-CHELSEA STAR LINE OF STARS
José Mourinho has always said that Tottenham is too nice and Sunday hilarious wetting the bed incident highlights the manager’s point.
The answer: Diego Costa. That is the line that is being pushed Don balon, with Spurs linked to a move in January by the Atlético de Madrid forward.
One problem, however, is that the former Chelsea center forward would have to accept a pay cut to join the Spurs. If there’s one man who isn’t afraid to tell Costa that, it’s probably Daniel Levy.
