Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Liverpool on Saturday, July 18.

The buildup to the summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Liverpool eye possible reinforcements.

Jurgen Klopp's league leaders have not been particularly busy during recent windows, but that has not stopped the rumour mill from linking them with additions.

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

Saturday morning's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup:


Jurgen Klopp 'wants Liverpool to prioritise Thiago Alcantara this summer'

Jurgen Klopp has allegedly requested that the Liverpool board prioritise the signing of Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara.

Since the beginning of the month, Liverpool have been heavily linked with an approach for the Spaniard, who is open to departing the Allianz Arena.

More recent reports have claimed that the Premier League champions have already managed to agree personal terms with the playmaker.

According to Bild, Klopp is eager to get a deal over the line as soon as possible, presumably to fend off other interested parties.

North-West rivals Manchester United are also said to be admirers of the former Barcelona man, who has a year remaining on his contract at Bayern.

Thiago is expected to cost between £30m and £35m.

Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara has reportedly agreed personal terms with Liverpool ahead of a potential switch to Anfield.

With just a year remaining on his contract, the Spaniard wants to experience a different league next season, leaving the Premier League and Serie A as the most likely destinations.

However, Liverpool and Manchester United are regarded as the frontrunners for the former Barcelona man, who may be available for a fee in the region of £30m.

While United were believed to have moved ahead of their fierce rivals earlier this week, Bild claims that Liverpool have been able to agree terms with the 29-year-old.

The report says that the development is a result of Jurgen Klopp giving the green light for Thiago to link up with his first-team squad.
