Liverpool transfer news LIVE – Neymar offered, Mason Mount latest, Roberto Firmino contract

Liverpool transfer news, rumors, gossip and speculation including updates on Neymar, Mason Mount, Jude Bellingham, Randal Kolo Muani, Antonio Silva, Ansu Fati, Goncalo Inacio and more.

The headline news this morning is that Liverpool are reportedly being approached by Neymar intermediaries as the future of the Brazilian star and PSG remains uncertain. The Reds are reportedly among a number of Premier League clubs who have spoken to representatives of the former Barcelona striker.

Reports in Italy have suggested that Inter Milan ‘target’ Roberto Firmino is close to extending his contract at Anfield.

Meanwhile, Liverpool-linked Mason Mount could be used as a counterweight to Chelsea’s plans to sign Joao Felix. There are rumors that it could be used in a commercial deal with Atletico Madrid to bring in the Portuguese star. Touching him at Stamford Bridge is approaching his senior year and the Reds would be eyeing him.

Midfield tomorrow

Would you continue tomorrow at Newcastle with Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Stefan Bajcetic in midfield? I think it’s hard to change that given their performance against Everton on Monday.

Henderson proved a point when he returned to the squad while Fabinho showed more of his old self. Bajcetic is getting to the point where he can no longer be left out of the squad.

Jurgen Klopp has Naby Keita and Harvey Elliott as options, but I think they will have to settle for a place on the bench.

Klopp can still seduce Bellingham

Former Liverpool left-back Jose Enrique has told Genting Casino that he still believes Jurgen Klopp could entice Jude Bellingham to join the Reds in the summer.

“I would like both Bellingham and Rice to come to Liverpool next season but I highly doubt that will happen via FSG. I still believe we can get Bellingham if Liverpool fail to qualify for the Champions League.” The problem with Liverpool is that they don’t need just one player, they need several. They need at least two midfielders and a right winger to compete with Salah because there is no competition for him there.

“You also need a player who will compete with Trent for the position when Calvin Ramsay came on but suffered a long-term injury. It’s unrealistic to sign both Bellingham and Rice. It’s not always quantity over quality.” Look at Chelsea, they just buy what they want and they haven’t been successful. But in Liverpool now they don’t have to buy one or two players, but four or five players. For example, if Klopp is backed with £300m I will say ‘yes go ahead and get Rice and Bellingham’ as well as other players in the positions I have mentioned.

Player of the month

Stefan Bajcetic has been named Liverpool Player of the Month after some fantastic performances in midfield for the Reds.

The Spaniard said: “I’m very grateful for that because as a youngster he gives you enormous confidence when you see the staff trying to help you. He just gives you a good feeling.” “And yes, from day one they have been very

News from Roberto Firmino

Inter, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are all set to miss out on signing Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino as the Brazilian moves closer to a contract extension with his current club, according to FCInterNews.

The 31-year-old has emerged as a key target for Inter but is believed to be set to extend his contract at Liverpool soon.

Ex-Liverpool star on his way back

Former Liverpool star Sadio Mane is set to return to training ahead of Monday after recovering from leg surgery which saw him miss the World Cup.

Mane will be fit and available for Bayern Munich’s second leg against PSG.

Opinions on Neymar? Well, Neymar is probably the last person you’d imagine wearing a Liverpool shirt, but rumor has it that the 31-year-old has been ‘offered’ to the Reds alongside other top Premier League clubs.

Opinions on Neymar?

Well, Neymar is probably the last person you’d imagine wearing a Liverpool shirt, but rumor has it that the 31-year-old has been ‘offered’ to the Reds alongside other top Premier League clubs.

Neymar became the world’s most expensive player when PSG paid his £198m buyout clause in 2017 but failed to do what he so badly wanted – win the Champions League.

With Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi alongside him in the attacking line, the Brazilian is no longer the big star there and the Parisian is said to be ready to listen to offers for him. It’s extremely difficult to imagine Liverpool having any interest in Neymar.

Jürgen Klopp’s press conference is imminent

Jurgen Klopp is set to address the media at 12.15pm ahead of Liverpool’s massive Newcastle clash tomorrow at 5.30pm.

The Reds know that a win will put them back in contention for the top 4, but a loss could dashed their hopes of a Champions League spot next season.

Newcastle have lost just once in the league all season but that loss came to Liverpool in late August thanks to a 98th-minute Fabio Carvalho winner.

Mason Mount races

The race to sign Mason Mount in the summer heats up as Manchester United reportedly compete with Liverpool to land the Chelsea man. Mount will be in the final year of his contract this summer and talks over a new deal have so far stalled.

Liverpool are believed to have a strong interest in Mount as they look to add fresh blood to their struggling midfield this summer.
