We are back for another edition of transfer roundups for Liverpool from around the world. No new signings to announce but Ryan Gravenberch is being hotly linked and reports of personal terms agreed with Andre from Fluminese. Let’s get into it!

RYAN GRAVENBERCH (BAYERN MUNICH) – Liverpool have reignited their interest in the Dutch midfielder. He is said to want regular playing time which is something he has found hard to come by in Munich.

However, the Bavarians are so far unwilling to sanction a move for the talented Gravenberch. If they do give the go-ahead, the Reds will have to battle Manchester United for his services.

ANDRE TRINDADE (FLUMINESE) – Multiple reports have come out that Liverpool have agreed personal terms with the 22-year old Brazilian defensive midfielder. However, his club are not as willing to seal a deal.

They are still in the top South American continental competition, the Copa Libertadores, and are not eager to lose such a key player. Andre for his part wants the move to happen now and there is a €40 million release clause. Liverpool have not yet deemed the player good value at that cost.

CHEICK DOUCOURE (CRYSTAL PALACE) – Crystal Palace are fully aware of interest in their powerhouse midfielder and will make Liverpool fork over a big sum if they want him. £70+ million has been discussed to get talks going.

He’s a great player that fits the bill Jurgen Klopp needs, but any negotiations on a potential deal will be tough sledding. Wait and see on this one.

SOYFAN AMRABAT (FIORENTINA) – There was a brief moment last week where it looked like Amrabat would be making the move to Anfield. As it turned out, Wataru Endo was signed just a few hours later.

The Liverpool brass spoke with Amrabat and his camp, and while they were positive enough talks, the club opted for the Endo move instead. Can’t see the Moroccan coming to Merseyside at this point.

Liverpool still have a few weeks remaining in the transfer window but as of now they do not appear any closer to securing new players for their side. It’s been a lot of reported interests but nothing concrete in terms of offers.

This is to say nothing of the little movement on bringing in defensive reinforcements as well. It looks like another long week of rumor hunting at Anfield.
