Liverpool transfer news as Federico Chiesa handed exit route for $43.5m winger to arrive

Liverpool.com - 4 hours 57 min ago

Liverpool has made a brilliant start to the season under Arne Slot.

The Reds have won eight of their first 10 Premier League games, with their only defeat being the shock 1-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest in September. That's the only match Liverpool has lost in any competition this term, with the team winning three times in the Champions League and through to the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup.

Despite impressing under Slot, Liverpool fans are wondering if the team will bring in any players during the January transfer window ahead of Tuesday's game against Bayer Leverkusen. With that in mind, here are the latest rumors from Merseyside...

Federico Chiesa (AC Milan)

AC Milan is keeping an eye on Federico Chiesa's situation at Liverpool, according to MilanLive. It's believed the Italian team is interested in completing a trade deal with the Reds for Chiesa that involves midfielder Tijjani Reijnders moving to Merseyside.

Liverpool snapped up Chiesa, 27, from Juventus in August, but he's struggling to get ahead of Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo, and Darwin Nunez in the pecking order. The Italian winger has played just 78 minutes of soccer for the Reds.

Reijnders, 26, is best known for his lengthy spell with Dutch team AZ, where he played 128 games. The holding midfielder could solve Liverpool's holding midfielder conundrum after failing to sign Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi during the summer.

Liverpool.com says: It seems unlikely Liverpool will sell Chiesa in January, but a lot can change before the window opens in just under two months' time. The former Juventus winger needs to start playing and showing his worth to everyone in Merseyside.

Liverpool has registered its interest in signing Eintracht Frankfurt winger Omar Marmoush, according to Bild. The Egypt international, 25, has scored 12 goals and provided nine assists in just 14 games for Frankfurt this season.

Marmoush is one of the most exciting young forwards in European soccer and was a target for both Forest and Fulham during the previous transfer window. It's claimed his preference is a move to England, with Manchester United and Chelsea also keen. Bayern Munich is believed to be another club chasing the player, valued at $43.5 million by Transfermarkt.

Liverpool.com says: Marmoush is an exciting player, but he won't come cheap if other big clubs are chasing his signature. Liverpool's focus should be on extending Mohamed Salah's contract, which concludes at the end of this season.

5 Bayer Leverkusen players Liverpool can scout including 3 Virgil van Dijk replacements

Liverpool.com - 5 hours 57 min ago

Liverpool faces yet another big test in the Champions League later tonight, with Bayer Leverkusen making its way to Anfield.

Of course, fans will be most intrigued to see Xabi Alonso back on Merseyside, especially after he was considered by many to be the favorite to succeed Jurgen Klopp earlier this year. The former Reds midfielder hasn’t been too keen to discuss the prospect of him becoming Liverpool manager in the future, but there’s no doubt he has gained plenty of admirers across Europe after a sensational season in Germany.

Alonso led Leverkusen to an unbeaten domestic double, and almost added a European trophy to his achievements after falling at the final hurdle in the Europa League. He has developed a side that is not to be underestimated in any way though, and Arne Slot will be fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead.

Not only that, but the Liverpool boss may well be keeping a close eye on some of Alonso’s players, with plenty having been linked with moves to Anfield recently. We’ve picked out five players the Reds could scout later this evening.

Piero Hincapie

A player that has been linked with Liverpool on a few occasions over the last year or so, Piero Hincapie could be just what the Reds are looking for. A left-footed center-back by trade, he’d be an obvious candidate to replace Virgil van Dijk in defense should the Dutchman not sign a new contract before the end of the season.

Not only that, but the Ecuador international is also capable of playing at left-back so he could also offer an alternative option there should Andy Robertson’s recent struggles continue. Described as a ‘very modern defender’ by Alonso, at just 22 years of age, he would have the potential to become a mainstay of Slot’s team for the long-term future.

"He’s aggressive, is making better decisions when he has the ball, backs himself more to play diagonal passes and get in behind,” Alonso also said of Hincapie.

"It motivates me to have a player with his potential and desire because he helps you and you help him. He's a great player.”

Jonathan Tah

If Liverpool doesn’t want to spend too much on a possible replacement for Van Dijk, then Jonathan Tah might be the solution.

The German international has already confirmed his plan to leave Leverkusen at the end of the season when his contract expires. He told Süddeutsche Zeitung in September: “I’m not going to sign a new deal at Bayer Leverkusen. My decision is made. I will give my best until the end here and then we will see about my future club. But my decision is to go and try a different experience.”

Tah will turn 29 before he leaves Leverkusen, so he certainly wouldn’t be a long-term solution if Van Dijk does go, but he could follow in the footsteps of Joel Matip as a player who could still offer a lot to the Reds without them needing to pay anything. At the very least, he’s certainly worth a look.

Florian Wirtz

The most exciting player in Alonso’s side, Florian Wirtz looks destined for a big move at some stage. One of the stars of Leverkusen’s remarkable campaign last season and now a regular for Germany, it’s incredible to think he’s still just 21.

Liverpool will have quite the job on its hands keeping Wirtz quiet later, and if they can manage that, they’ll be on the right path to victory. The playmaker is a true game-changer, and no doubt there will be a long list of top clubs gunning for his services next summer.

Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid will all likely be in the mix, and hopefully Liverpool will be in there as well. Hopefully he’ll have a quiet night at Anfield, but you would certainly expect him to make an impact.

Edmond Tapsoba

Another option to potentially replace Van Dijk, Tapsoba has been linked with Liverpool previously, as well as the likes of Manchester United, Tottenham and Newcastle, so it does seem as though a move to the Premier League is a good bet at some point.

Although he doesn’t fit the left-footed criteria like Hincapie, that shouldn’t mean he gets overlooked for a potential transfer to Anfield. Having been nominated for the African Footballer of the Year award for 2024 – and beaten Mohamed Salah to the nod in the process – he has emerged as one of Leverkusen’s stars.

Jeremie Frimpong

Anyone who has seen Leverkusen over the last year or so would no doubt have been impressed by Jeremie Frimpong. The former Celtic fullback has become one of the shining lights of Alonso’s side down the right, and it’s no surprise he’s been touted as a potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Recent reports have suggested the 23-year-old is a ‘top target’ for Liverpool next year – if that is the case, the game at Anfield could be something of an audition for him.

It would probably be fair to say Frimpong has been put forward as a potential heir to Alexander-Arnold due to his attacking output rather than his defensive work, having been used as a wing-back by Alonso. With 14 goals and 12 assists in all competitions last season, plus six assists already this campaign, you certainly can’t ignore that kind of output.

Ex-Everton boss David Moyes impressed by Arne Slot's Liverpool after Man Utd worry

Liverpool.com - 6 hours 53 min ago

David Moyes has expressed his astonishment at Arne Slot's start at Liverpool, having initially thought the Dutchman might find it tough to follow in Jurgen Klopp's footsteps.

The former Everton and Manchester United boss has been out of the managerial spotlight since his departure from West Ham United last summer. And he's full of commendation for Slot's approach since taking the reins at Anfield.

"I think it was huge, because to have two home defeats at Liverpool, it's not the thing that they get too often," he said Football Daily podcast. "They've always been such a good team under Jurgen, and so difficult to get a result at Anfield.

"But I think Arne Slot's started great. And I have to say, when he came in I thought, very difficult to follow Jurgen, it's a bit like following Sir Alex (Ferguson), a bit like following some of the top managers who have been there for so long. Never ever easy. But I have to say he's done a great job, albeit it's just about the same group of players as what they had last year."

Moyes knows exactly what it's like to follow a legendary manager at a big club. In 2013, he replace Sir Alex Ferguson at Man Utd. Ferguson retired after winning 13 Premier League titles and two Champions Leagues, among other honors, at Old Trafford.

Yet Moyes failed to get a tune out of Man Utd, winning just 27 of his 51 games in charge before being fired just nine months into the job. Many expected Slot to also struggle at Liverpool, but that's not been the case - winning 2-1 against Brighton on Saturday.

Moyes added: "They have showed a bit of resilience yesterday (Saturday) coming back, because Brighton have impressed me as well through the season and started really steadily, played really good stuff. But you'll know what it's like, going to play at Anfield is incredible. Once you get one goal the crowd are pulling the ball into the net, they really are, it's some atmosphere there."

Moyes is currently out of management after leaving West Ham in the summer. He led the Hammers to the Europa Conference League title in 2023.
