Happy Monday Reds fans! We’re back with another edition of the Transfer Roundup to kick start your week. Liverpool Captain Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and more. Read on for the latest news!

JORDAN HENDERSON (Liverpool) – Henderson has passed his medical which is clearing the way for him to complete his £12 million move to the Saudi Pro League to play for Steven Gerrard. Expect an official announcement sometime this week.

FABINHO (Liverpool) – Bayern Munich have been reportedly eyeing a late swoop for the Brazilian should his move to Al-Ittihad fall through. While it appears to be moving slower than the Henderson deal, things are still moving forward.

The Al-Ittihad president was in London to iron out the final details. With some documents not being ready yet, it might be another week before this saga gets wrapped up.

MOISES CAICEDO (Brighton) – The Seagulls star midfielder has been the focus for many big clubs in England. As of now, no team has been willing to empty their war chest to bring the Ecuadorian in. However, Chelsea still look like his likeliest destination.

Liverpool have been closely monitoring the situation, but the odds of them swooping in for the late hijack do seem unlikely. We hope we’re wrong on this one.

ROMEO LAVIA (Southampton) – The final £50 million price tag set by the Saints on Lavia continues to be a sticking point for Liverpool. They simply won’t pay that amount for the player. However, they are in constant contact with his agents and want to bring the fee down. Wait and see here.

JOSHUA KIMMICH (Bayern Munich) – The versatile German International is reported to be of interest to both Liverpool and Manchester United. His price tag is roughly €70 million so it will be interesting to see if the Reds loosen the purse strings in this deal, whereas others they have been reluctant.

CHEICK DOUCOURE (Crystal Palace) – Crystal Palace have placed a £70 million price tag on their big midfielder. The Reds are apparently big fans as they are possibly preparing a bid for around £60 million for the Mali international.

Fellow big clubs Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle are all looking into a possible deal as well. This could become a bidding war that might price teams out.

JOAO PALHINHA (Fulham) – The Portuguese defensive midfielder has been strongly linked with a move to Anfield. However, he suffered a possible dislocated shoulder that would put him on the sidelines for an extended period. This could muck up any potential big move.

Unlucky for the player and the club.
