Liverpool sealed a deal for Ryan Gravenberch on transfer deadline day after also signing Wataru Endō, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister earlier in the summer.
Al-Ittihad continue to be linked with a move for Mohamed Salah after having a £150m bid rejected on Friday for the Egyptian superstar.
Al Ittihad readying £200m Mohamed Salah bid
Ekrem Konur is claiming that Al Ittihad are ready to enhance their bid for Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah.
He says that the Saudi Pro League side are readying a £200m bid for the Egyptian.
It has been claimed that their transfer window is open beyond Europe’s, despite it shutting on Friday. Reports suggest players have to be registered by September 7.
Liverpool are adamant that they will not sell the record-chasing forward and the odds suggest he will remain at Anfield.

BREAKING: Ryan Gravenberch to train with Liverpool for the first time
Deadline day signing Ryan Gravenberch has been granted a work permit and will train with his Liverpool teammates for the first time today.
He will not, however, be eligible to play against Aston Villa on Sunday but it is likely that he will be in attendance at Anfield.
He is in contention to make his debut against Wolverhampton Wanderers when the Premier League returns after the international break.
“I’m very happy. Very happy that the deal is done and I’m finally here,” Gravenberch said in an interview with Liverpoolfc.com. “If you see it from the outside, it’s one of the biggest clubs in the world. Also the fans, the stadium, I think everything from the outside is top. So that’s why [it was the right club].
“I’m really looking forward to [being at Anfield] and I can’t wait to hear the You’ll Never Walk Alone song. Now we start fresh again, a new start, and I’m going to give my all for this club. [My ambitions are] to win prizes. To win prizes, play a lot and show them who we are and who I am.”
Bayern Munich CEO explains Ryan Gravenberch Liverpool transfer
Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has explained why the Bavarians decided to sell Ryan Gravenberch to Liverpool on deadline day.
The Netherlands international joined the Reds in a deal worth up to £40m, despite the German giants seeing their move to sign Joao Palhinha from Fulham fall through earlier in the day.
Bayern had spent most the summer insisting that Gravenberch was not for sale, despite Liverpool boasting long-held interest in the midfielder. But in the end, the Reds’ patience paid off.
And now following the departure of the Dutchman, who ultimately found game-time hard to come by in his solitary season in Munich, Dreesen has sent a message to Gravenberch and explained to Bayern fans why he is moving on.
Liverpool vs Aston Villa prediction
Former Premier League forward Dimitar Berbatov believes Liverpool will beat Aston Villa but believes Darwin Nunez mustn’t rest on his match-winning display.
The Uruguayan netted twice in the dramatic win over Newcastle United and the Bulgarian believes the triumph will help them against Unai Emery’s side.
Speaking to Betfair, he said: “I think Liverpool will be buzzing with that win against Newcastle with 10 men because that was difficult to do at St James’ Park. The Nunez goals are moments that can turn your fortune for a team when you have your chance. The two goals are in the past so he has to concentrate on the next game and score again.
“I will go for Liverpool to win 2-1 against Villa.”
