On that note, here's a look at the latest Liverpool news and rumors as of September 26, 2021.
Liverpool linked with a move for Chiesa
Liverpool are interested in signing Juventus attacker Federico Chiesa as per Calcio Mercato. The Reds could dip into the transfer market in the winter transfer window, and could compete with Chelsea for Chiesa’s signature.
Chiesa is expected to join Juventus at the end of his two-year loan deal as the Old Lady have the obligation to sign him next summer.
The Italian international put in some stellar displays for the Azzurri at Euro 2020 as Roberto Mancini’s side beat England in the final.
Chiesa’s stock has since gone up, as Liverpool’s rivals Chelsea made a bid of £85 million to sign him in the summer transfer window that was rejected by Juventus.
Former star feels Klopp will be mad at Jones’ display against Brentford
Former Liverpool midfielder Steve McManaman has opined that Jurgen Klopp will not be pleased with Curtis Jones’ defensive contribution against Brentford.
Jones was partly at fault for Brentford’s opener as he failed to track Sergi Canos’ run that led to the goal.
“I thought Liverpool were too much laxed in the game,” said McManaman. “Jurgen Klopp will go mad at Curtis Jones for getting caught.
“Fabinho clearing it with his wrong foot. But I thought Brentford had been brilliant. I thought the two strikers have caused Liverpool the most problems this season,” he added.
Barcelona join the race for Raphinha
Barcelona have reportedly joined the race to sign Leeds United attacker Raphinha. The Brazilian was linked with a move to Liverpool in the summer transfer window, but a move never materialized.
Raphinha had a good first season at Leeds United, and has hence been linked with several top sides.
Manchester City are also one of the teams interested in signing Raphinha, who as per Fichajes will cost in the range of £25 million and £50 million.
