With the January transfer window fast approaching, Liverpool is likely to get a good idea of what it needs over the next few weeks.
Many of the Reds’ stars are away on international duty at the moment, but once they return to Merseyside, a crucial run of games awaits. It all begins next weekend with a huge trip to the Etihad to take on Manchester City.
That game will no doubt give Liverpool a clear indication of whether a title challenge might be within its grasp this season, with the Reds one point behind City ahead of the early kick-off. That’s not the only big game on the way though.
The Reds continue to be linked with new midfielders, with a new name from Brazil emerging, while a more familiar name is reportedly getting closer to a move to Anfield. Here is the Liverpool.com verdict on the transfer gossip to emerge around the Reds today.
Gabriel Moscardo (Corinthians)
Liverpool could battle with Chelsea and Arsenal for the signing of Corinthians midfielder Gabriel Moscardo, according to The Standard. The 18-year-old is attracting interest across Europe, with Barcelona also said to be keeping an eye on him.
Mascardo will reportedly set a club back $32m (£26m/€30m), with Chelsea having failed with a $22m (£18m/€21m) bid during the summer. Corinthians though will wait until after its presidential elections on November 25 before discussing any potential deal.
Liverpool’s home shirt for the 2023/2024 campaign pays homage to Bill Shankly and the legendary Reds manager’s final season in charge at Anfield. The Nike shirt features a bright red design with a bold white contrast on the colour and cuffs.
It is claimed that Liverpool is prepared to pay the asking fee put forward by Sporting CP. According to O Jogo in Portugal (via Paisley Gates) Inácio has a $66m (£53m/€60m) release clause in his contract.
Liverpool.com says: Inácio ticks a lot of boxes for Liverpool. A young, left-footed center-back, he could be exactly what the Reds are looking for as Jürgen Klopp targets defensive reinforcements.
