Liverpool are in talks with the agent of Barcelona star Ansu Fati, over a stunning club-record move. That’s according to reports...
That’s according to reports linking the Spanish wonderkid with a move to Anfield, as the Reds look to reignite their side after a poor season.
Liverpool are currently 10th in the Premier League after 20 games, with their last remaining hope of the season the Champions League. They have Real Madrid in the Round of 16.
But manager Jurgen Klopp is apparently targeting big names ahead of a summer rebuild, with the likes of Jude Bellingham, Ruben Neves and Josko Gvardiol all being linked with Merseyside switches.
According to TalkSport, Fati’s representatives have held discussions with Liverpool, as well as Manchester United and Arsenal though a deal might be a little more difficult for the latter two.
United have operated this season with Marcus Rashford at left-wing and have the likes of Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Jadon Sancho as options on the flanks, while Arsenal have just bought Leandro Trossard to compete with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli in an established attack.
That leaves the Reds, who have Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz as options on the left, Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez and Roberto Firmino in the centre and Mohamed Salah on the right.
With Gakpo suited across the side, however, Firmino edging closer to the end of his contract, Jota particularly injury-prone and Salah linked with an exit, there could be movement.
