Sunday's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup: Adama Traore, Lionel Messi, Dayot Upamecano

Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Liverpool on Sunday, November 22.

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.

Sunday morning's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup:


Barcelona end interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore?

Barcelona have reportedly ended their interest in signing Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore.

Having been restricted to just four appearances with the Catalan giants as a youngster, Traore has developed into one of world's most highly-regarded widemen at Molineux.

While the Spain international has been holding contract negotiations with the Premier League outfit, it has been suggested that agreeing fresh terms is far from a foregone conclusion.

Nevertheless, reports in Spain claim that Barcelona have no intention of trying to secure a reunion with the 24-year-old, who may have been viewed as a potential replacement for Lionel Messi.

With two-and-a-half years still remaining on Traore's contract, Wolves are expected to demand at least double the £18m which they shelled out in 2018.

Liverpool are said to be among the teams who are monitoring the situation.



Dayot Upamecano 'drops Manchester United transfer hint'

RB Leipzig centre-back Dayot Upamecano has fuelled suggestions that he could join Manchester United next summer by liking an Instagram post linking him with a switch to Old Trafford.

There will be a £40m release clause in the 22-year-old's contract at the end of the 2020-21 campaign, and a number of clubs are believed to be interested in signing him.

Liverpool are reportedly ready to battle United, although Bayern Munich will allegedly not be able to afford to sign the France international in next summer's transfer window.

Upamecano has now dropped a hint that he could be moving to the 20-time English champions by liking an Instagram post that suggested that the defender was heading for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

The former Valenciennes youngster joined Julian Nagelsmann's team from Red Bull Salzburg in 2017 and has made 123 appearances for the Bundesliga giants in all competitions.

The Frenchman was a part of the Leipzig side that suffered a 5-0 defeat to United in the Champions League earlier this season.
