Kalidou Koulibaly update, Reds miss striker and other Liverpool transfer rumors rated

Liverpool are still associated with a large number of players, as Jürgen Klopp is considering whether to strengthen his squad when the transfer window opens.

Where?

According to Football Insider, Liverpool will have to spend £ 35m to sign Brighton White this summer.

The 22-year-old is currently on loan at Leeds United and has received the tip to secure a big step this summer.

The report adds that Brighton will charge a fee that would mean a substantial win for the player who only played two games in the first team for the club.

What?

White is not the only central defender associated with a move to Anfield, along with Napoli star Kalidou Koulibaly.

The Reds are blessed with a variety of options at the heart of the defense. Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren fight for starting places.

White certainly has the potential to go far in the game, but switching to Merseyside may not be the right step in his career.

If there is no surprising departure of the Reds, this is a rumor that we can ignore for now.

Hwang He-Chan, forward of Red Bull Salzburg.

Where?

According to Sky Germany, Liverpool will miss the South Korean international’s commitment, and a Bundesliga club wants to sign up.

The report adds that RB Leizpig, who is preparing to lose Timo Werner against Chelsea, is ready to sign Hwang for around 10 million euros.

Liverpool has been tentatively associated with a move for the 24-year-old, as has Premier League rival Wolves.

What?

There has been a lot of talk about Liverpool having to strengthen its forward options to support Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

Werner was heavily involved in a move to Anfield before the Reds decided not to sign the Germans, which allowed Chelsea to sign the striker.

Any striker who would move to Anfield would have to settle for a bench role most of the season.

Given the financial challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, it was always unlikely that big money would be generated for such a player this summer.

Where?

According to Sky Sports, the Reds are not interested in signing the Senegal international this summer.

The report says the Reds’ strict transfer policies would prevent them from spending more than £ 60 million on a 29-year-old.

It has also been claimed that Liverpool could sign a center-back should Dejan Lovren leave the club when the transfer window reopens.

What?

The need for a new central defender at Anfield shouldn’t be at the forefront of Klopp’s head at the moment, but could be an area to look at.

Due to Joel Matip’s recent injury, Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Dejan Lovren are the only first team options available for the rest of the season.

Despite the injuries, Klopp would likely give young players like Ki-Jana Hoever and Sepp van den Berg a chance instead of spending a lot of money in the market.
