Yahoo Sports Liverpool Transfer News Today: Reds DODGE BULLET, Ex-City star TARGETED, Defender FAVOURS Anfield move
Here’s our round-up of all the latest Liverpool transfer news today (Tuesday 17 September) as the Reds dodge bullet for star forward.
Defender to snub Chelsea for Reds
Crystal Palace have struck gold with the services of Marc Guehi.
The 24-year-old central defender has established himself as a solid Premier League defender with stellar performances and a calm defensive demeanour.
With 115 appearances for Palace, before the start of the 2024/25 season, he was named as club captain, highlighting his leadership skills even at such a young age.
With all the hype around Guehi and transfer rumours circulating, it has now been reported that he will be rejecting another club in the hopes for a ‘more attractive’ move.
Liverpool target former City star
It is no secret that Liverpool’s activity in the transfer window this summer was limited and for the most part, severely underwhelming.
Having completed the period with two new signings in the form of Federico Chiesa from Juventus and Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia, Reds fans can feel a little bit hard done by and left wanting more.
However, supporters can be a little more excited as it has been reported that Liverpool are linked with a world class winger looking to reinvigorate his career back in the Premier League.
Liverpool have actually been linked to Leroy Sane multiple times before with the last rumour circulating in 2023 amidst speculation surrounding the future of Mohamed Salah.
Reds dodge bullet with Mbappe
Neymar has reportedly sent a report to Brazilian teammates describing former Liverpool target Kylian Mbappe as 'catastrophic' to play with.
The Frenchman was linked to Liverpool for years whilst at Paris Saint-Germain, and it was revealed by L’Equipe last week that he had agreed to join Liverpool in 2022. The French source said that Liverpool sent PSG a €200 million offer for Mbappe, and the player agreed to sign a short-term contract with the Merseyside club.
PSG asked Liverpool to double their bid, if it was to be accepted, and the deal fell down.
Liverpool handed boost surrounding superstar
Bayern Munich are finding it ‘difficult’ to renew German star Jamal Musiala’s contract, with Liverpool hoping to capitalise.
Liverpool have been placed on high alert for the attacking midfielder according to CaughtOffside, despite Bayern wanting to keep him at the club, and will be hopeful that the contract renewal difficulties continue.
The German side’s sporting director, Max Eberl, who Liverpool tried to recruit in 2022, spoke after Bayern’s win at the weekend, and said: “Yes, it is difficult. It is difficult, but it is not impossible - because Jamal knows what he has at Bayern. He grew up here, he earned his first merits, he has brought himself to this level.”
Liverpool are just one of many interested clubs, with Manchester City, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain also hoping the 21-year-old has issues renewing his current contract, which expires in 2026.
Chelsea icon tips Liverpool to sign star
The future of Mohamed Salah is a continuing saga which needs to meet an end as soon as possible.
Liverpool fans are becoming increasingly worried that the Egyptian King will leave the Reds in the summer following the conclusion of his current contract.
There have been calls for Salah to receive a new deal with the forward being an obvious fan favourite and legend.
But one pundit has said that if Salah does leave, then this current Premier League star would be the perfect replacement.
Liverpool miss out on free midfielder
Liverpool’s rumoured links in the transfer window this summer were comprehensive.
Fans became so frustrated with the news of Premier League opponents securing signatures for multiple players while Liverpool remained silent and inactive with supporters wondering who the new arrivals would be.
One area that clearly needed addressing was the defensive midfield role. Liverpool failed to sign Martin Zubimendi and then struggled to look elsewhere.
However, Liverpool started exploring the free agent market with one midfielder in mind. But this deal is now completely off the cards.
