TOP STORY: Liverpool eye De Jong
Liverpool are now interested in signing Barcelona‘s Frenkie de Jong in January, joining rivals Manchester United in the chase for the Dutchman’s signature.
That’s according to Spanish outlet Sport, who believes the Merseysiders have entered the race for the in-demand midfielder.
De Jong, who stayed at Barcelona in the summer despite strong interest from Manchester United and others, isn’t getting as many minutes as he would like under Xavi Hernandez, and so would appear more open to leaving Camp Nou.
Meanwhile, Liverpool face the prospect of having four midfielders out of contract at the end of the season, with none of them yet having renewed. Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner and Arthur Melo (on loan from Juventus) could all be on the move at the end of the current campaign.
Liverpool’s initial plan was to scour the market next summer, but Jurgen Klopp could be tempted to make winter moves, particularly given his side’s slow start to the Premier League season.
