If we know anything about the Liverpool recruiting team it is that they are incredibly efficient.
Reports in the media that Liverpool are seriously interested in a player are rare these days – like the tight management of their interests – but two rejected offers for Jamal Lewis led them to immediately turn to the Greek Super League.
An estimated £ 13m spent on Kostas Tsimikas is a cost-effective move for the Reds, but it may further show how reckless they are in the transfer window.
It has been reported that they shortlisted four players for Andrew Robertson’s deputy, with Lloyd Kelly and Sergio Reguilon being the other two options.
The fact that they turned away from Lewis after being unimpressed by Norwich City reviews shows the way they run the market.
Could we see a similar theme again in the rest of the broadcast window? Here are the Liverpool transfer rumors.
Wijnaldum is “waiting” for contract negotiations

Georginio Wijnaldum’s representatives are reportedly waiting for Liverpool to resume contract renewal negotiations this summer.
The 29-year-old has only one year left to speculate about his future at Anfield.
According to Sky Sports, the Dutch international’s representatives are ready to open talks with the Reds about signing a new deal.
The increasing uncertainty about the future of Wijnaldum has spread over the past few weeks. FC Bayern Munich’s Thiago is reportedly on the club’s radar.
Watford has set a price of £ 40 million for the Reds target

Liverpool are reportedly leading the race to sign Watford’s Ismaila Sarr this summer.
The Evening Standard reports that the Premier League champions have emerged as the club most likely to sign the 22-year-old, with interest also coming from across Europe.
However, the report also stated that the Senegalese winger would cost £ 40m to sign as Watford is unwilling to maintain offers below that number.
That kind of sum could deter Liverpool from signing Sarr this summer as the club hesitated to invest money during an uncertain financial period.

Liverpool are reportedly close to signing Brazilian youngster Talles Magno this summer. The 18-year-old reportedly plans to go to Anfield.
According to EsporteNews, quoted by HITC, the Reds are leading the race to sign Magno with Juventus and other European clubs interested in using their services.
The report also suggests that Vasco De Gama would charge up to £ 27m for the 18-year-old who has been dubbed “the next Neymar” by some fans in Brazil.
If Liverpool see Magno as a real long-term option, signing the youngster this summer will certainly come at a significant cost.
