Liverpool have reportedly turned their attention to Atletico Madrid superstar Saul as their search to find a replacement for Gini Wijnaldum continues. The Spaniard has fallen down the pecking order under Diego Simeone and has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.

According to the Liverpool Echo, Saul will be available for €40 million this summer and Liverpool intend to make a move for him. The 25-year old only made 22 league appearances at Atletico Madrid in the 2020-21 season.

The Reds have also been linked with moves for Lazio's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Roma's Lorenzo Pellegrini and Borussia Monchengladbach's Florian Neuhaus.

Football super-agent Mino Raiola has confirmed that Liverpool are in negotiations to sign Dutch forward Donyell Malen from PSV Eindhoven this summer. As reported by Sport Witness, he told Voetbal International:

"He (Roger Schmidt) doesn’t really expect Malen and Dumfries back. On the other hand, I believe they have to report back on 19 July. There is not enough movement yet to say that there is already a transfer (but) we also know that things can go fast.
“I have spoken to some people within PSV who indicate there has been nobody concrete yet, not for Madueke. Not for Ihattaren, not for Dumfries, not for Malen yesterday.
“Yes, of course, there are negotiations going on, and with that, it can also be counted on the negotiations that in this case, Mino Raiola is conducting with Dortmund or Liverpool, for example, for Malen and Inter and Everton for Dumfries, so he has been given that space. They are allowed to talk to other clubs, and then, at some point, it can go fast."
