Thursday's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup: Ozan Kabak, Yves Bissouma, Georginio Wijnaldum

Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Liverpool on Thursday, December 24.

The summer transfer window has now closed and attention will begin to turn to January for Premier League champions Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp's side brought in Thiago Alcantara, Diogo Jota and Kostas Tsimikas during the summer, making for one of their busier transfer windows in the last couple of years.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Anfield.

Thursday morning's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup:


Liverpool to beat Manchester United to young defender?

Liverpool are reportedly in discussions with Celta Vigo over a potential move for Stefan Bajcetic.

The 16-year-old, who currently turns out for Celta's B youth team, has recently been linked with a move to Manchester United.

A recent report claimed that the Red Devils were holding talks with the defender's representatives in the hope that a deal could be agreed ahead of the January transfer window.

However, according to the Liverpool Echo, Liverpool are also firmly in the race for Bajcetic, who has impressed scouts from the Premier League champions with his performances at youth level.

Celta would be due a compensation fee should the youngster, who is the son of former Serbian professional footballer Srdan Bajcetic, move on.

Liverpool will also allegedly face competition from United for Schalke 04 defender Ozan Kabak.

Manchester United are reportedly tempted to join the race to sign Schalke 04 defender Ozan Kabak.

Despite the poor form of the Bundesliga outfit, Turkey international Kabak has emerged as one of the club's most prized assets.

That has led to the club being prepared to cash in on the 20-year-old as they look to boost their financial position during the coronavirus pandemic.

According to the Daily Mail, United may be prepared to rival Liverpool and AC Milan for the centre-back's signature.

The report suggests that Schalke are ready to accept offers in the region of £25m, a significant reduction after previously valuing Kabak at £40m.

United hope to reduce their squad numbers in January with Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo and Jesse Lingard all in line to move elsewhere.
