Liverpool transfer news: Round-up of reported targets, including Ousmane Dembele, Nabil Fekir and Matthijs de Ligt
Liverpool spent big in the summer – 177m to be precise – more than any other Premier League side.The likes ofAlisson (67m), Naby Keita (52.8m), Fabinho (43.7m) and Xherdan Shaqiri (13.5m) were all brought in by Jurgen Klopp in a bid to challenge for the title.However, there are still a number of players who could be on their way to Anfield in 2019 and here, talkSPORT.com looks at the latest rumours.7

Xherdan Shaqiri joined Liverpool from Stoke last summer in a 13.5m deal

Christian Pulisic (Borussia Dortmund)The attacking midfielder has suggested he could be a Premier League player very soon, saying it’s “a league where lots of kids dream of playing so there is no reason why maybe one day I wont play here.” Liverpool have long been admirers of the 20-year-old, who will get the chance to further showcase his talent when United States take on England at Wembley – live on talkSPORT.His current deal expires in 2020 and the Bundesliga club could be forced to eventually sell him if he does not sign a new contract.7

Matthijs de Ligt (Ajax)When Virgil van Dijk considers you a good defender you must be pretty decent.The 19-year-old Ajax centre-back has shown maturity beyond his years with a series of commanding performances for both club and country.A good defender, good boy, calm, knows what he wants and hopefully he makes the right choice in his next step,” Van Dijk explained, adding that the club’s scouts will have assessed him extensively already and will be ‘on the list’.7

Matthijs de Ligt is a commanding defender

Ousmane Dembele (Barcelona)Liverpool are keen to add to their attack and appear set to offer the Catalan giants 85million to get the 21-year-old winger.The France international moved to Spain for a mammoth 135.5m in August 2017, but has endured a frustrating time owing to injury and poor discipline.However, his agent says the player is happy in Spain and believes the manager wants to keep him.7

Marko Pjaca (Juventus, on loan at Fiorentina)During the summer, Liverpool lost out in their quest to sign the talented Croatia international to Fiorentina, who snapped him up from Juventus on a season-long loan.It now appears the club are unwilling to buy him out right, meaning the Mersyside club could reignite their original interest in the winger.7

Nabil Fekir (Lyon)The Lyon attacker came close to joining Liverpool in the summer, but the deal fell through amid concerns over his injury record.However, the club could return for the France international who has impressed once again for the Ligue 1 side this season.Liverpool would face competition from Chelsea, though, and it is understood manager Maurizio Sarri is a big fan.7

On the way out?Joel MatipThe defender has emerged as a reported January transfer target for Claudio Ranieri as he looks to bolster his new Fulham squad.Matip still has two years left on his contract with Liverpool, but has fallen down the pecking order after starting just one Premier League match this season.7
