Liverpool have four January transfer alternatives lined up after Sofyan Amrabat 'snub'

 


Liverpool have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of World Cup hero Sofyan Amrabat.

Liverpool may have to concentrate on their back-up transfer options in January after Sofyan Amrabat left the club out when discussing the 'top sides' chasing his signature. The prospect of a new contract with Fiorentina also reduces Jurgen Klopp's chances of success, but Express Sport takes you through four alternatives who could fulfil a similar role over the second half of the campaign...

Ismael Bennacer

It turns out Amrabat isn't the only North African holding midfielder that Liverpool have been keeping tabs on over the past few months. Reports suggest that Bennacer is on the Reds' radar and more talks have been scheduled with his representatives after the World Cup. 

The Algerian was once on the books of Arsenal but he only made one senior appearance before fleeing to Serie A. Now a regular with AC Milan, the Gunners are thought to be keen on pushing for a reunion but Liverpool may have something to say about that.

Enzo Fernandez

A youngster at just 21 years old, Fernandez's star has risen incredibly quickly since he joined Benfica from River Plate during the summer. Despite switching South America for Europe, his quality still puts him a cut above many of his midfield opponents, which encouraged manager Lionel Scaloni to phase him into Argentina's starting XI at the World Cup. 

Moises Caicedo

January may be the perfect time to strike for the Brighton star, who crashed out in the World Cup group stages with Ecuador. The superb performances of Argentina midfielder and his Seagulls team-mate, Alexis Mac Allister, have taken some of the limelight away from the 20-year-old who has bossed the midfield in the Premier League this term. 

Whereas Brighton may have previously considered him untouchable, the right offer could convince them to part with Caicedo after the New Year. Liverpool are thought to be in the mix with Manchester United also wise to his huge potential.

Liverpool set to make official move for 24-year-old midfielder valued at£39.8m

  Liverpool have reportedly reignited their interest in Matheus Nunes and are weighing up a £44m swoop for the Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder. The Portugal international was heavily linked with a move to Anfield during the summer transfer window, but Jurgen Klopp’s side decided against spending big on a new lynchpin. Still determined to test himself in the Premier League, Nunes became the latest Portuguese player to arrive at Wolves, who paid €45m (£39.8m) to bring the 24-year-old to the club from Sporting Lisbon. Nunes has one assist to show from 14 Premier League games for Julen Lopetegui’s side, and he is under contract at Molineux until 2027 with an option to extend for an additional 12 months. However, Nunes’s efforts have not been able to prevent Wolves’ slide down the table, with Lopetegui’s men sat 19th in the rankings after taking just 13 points from 17 games. Should Wolves drop back down to the Championship, Nunes would not be e...

(Video) Thiago’s three brilliant defensive challenges that demonstrate his Anfield dominance

Image
  Thiago Alcantara had yet another brilliant display for Liverpool and it wasn’t just his usual passing and attacking prowess that was on show but his tackling and defensive abilities too. One video has been created to show three instances when our No.6 won the ball back inside his own half and they were all done with the usual style and class we are used to seeing from the Spain international. It wasn’t the best display from Jurgen Klopp’s squad but the 31-year-old could leave the pitch with his head held high, after helping the Reds secure all three points. Let’s hope his form continues and that we can extend our run of four successive victories in the Premier League. He is immense pic.twitter.com/KdobOK8Feh — - (@PassLikeThiago) December 31, 2022

Bayern Munich eyeing up another Liverpool star – Likely far cheaper than Mané deal

Image
 With a few clubs, including Manchester United, reportedly interested in Eric Choupo-Moting, currently at Bayern Munich, the Bavarian side are preparing for the worst. Having already lost Robert Lewandowski in the summer, the Bundesliga giants have had to rely on the Cameroon international more often than not, but his contract expires in the summer. This has made him attractive for many clubs in January, which is why Bayern Munich are looking at Liverpool for a potential replacement. This is because the Reds have a player in a similar situation as Choupo-Moting in Roberto Firmino, whose contract at Anfield expires in the summer. There have been reports the Brazilian wouldn’t mind extending at Liverpool, but he will take his time to evaluate what his future can bring him. Media Foot in France suggest that could include a transfer back to Germany, where he initially made a name for himself at Hoffenheim. The outlet explain the Liverpool forward ‘is among the profiles studied’ by...
