Latest Liverpool transfer news as the Reds continue to be linked with RB Leipzig defender Castello Lukeba and Lamine Camara
Liverpool enjoyed a rare break from competitive football after a gruelling period which saw the Reds move 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League and progress into the Carabao Cup final. Arne Slot’s side have their sights set on the Champions League with the first-leg against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
The dressing room will be in high spirits after a formidable run which was capped with impressive displays against Manchester City and Newcastle United. With Arsenal’s recent downturn in form, Liverpool have capitalised and the realisation that a second Premier League crown and 20th English championship is close is slowly being recognised
Contract uncertainty continues to loom but it hasn’t impacted the form of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian, in particular, has been formidable this term as he continues chasing down numerous Liverpool and top-flight records
With over two months of the campaign left, Liverpool are heading into a crucial period and with the scars of previous title failure still fresh, there will be a determination to see out the challenge while adding further accolades in Slot’s debut season
The transfer window isn’t too far away and rumours continue to follow Liverpool, let’s have a look at what has been reported.
Liverpool join hunt for in-demand midfielder
According to TBR Football, Liverpool are one of a host of Premier League clubs interested in Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara. Reports suggest that Tottenham, Manchester City and Chelsea are also in the hunt.
Although the Reds have shown their quality in midfield this term, there have been some claims about overusing Ryan Gravenberch after the Dutchman’s fine form has made him indispensable to the squad
In their claim, the outlet says that Monaco have little desire to lose Camara in the summer – with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen all credited with interest – and will resist any approaches. Though, their stance could change should any sizeable bids be tabled.
RB Leipzig ‘cautious’ amid Liverpool transfer links
The Mirror have reported that RB Leipzig – and Head of Global Soccer Jurgen Klopp – are cautious that they will have their resolve tested for star players in the summer. Striker Benjamin Sesko is the name being linked with numerous clubs around Europe and the Premier League but defender Castello Lukeba has been touted with a switch to Merseyside.
It has been said that Chelsea are also interested in the French centre-back, who is courting a long list of suitors as well as Real Madrid. Van Dijk’s form this term has illustrated his capabilities to continue competing at the highest level, however, like they did with their midfield two seasons ago, Liverpool will need to have an eye on evolving their backline
