The decision to postpone the Merseyside Derby has given Liverpool an unexpected break to rest and recover.
The Reds are back in action on Tuesday when they travel to Girona in the Champions League. They will also be keeping an eye on the January transfer window, which opens in just over three weeks.
Arne Slot's side are having a brilliant season and remain at the top of the Premier League despite the trip to Everton being called off. That could see Reds chiefs look for quality reinforcements to give their title bid a second chance.
In addition, the futures of Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are bubbling, all of whom are out of contract this summer. Here Mirro Football collects all the latest transfer news from Liverpool.
Robertson replacement found
Andy Robertson has seen his playing time increasingly split with Kostas Tsimikas this season. And with the 30-year-old's contract expiring in 18 months, it appears the Reds are putting a succession plan in place.
According to Relevo, it is increasingly likely that Liverpool target Milos Kerkez will leave Bournemouth. The Cherries are already looking for replacements for the Hungarian international, such is the confidence that he will continue.
Kerkez's departure is said to be 'very likely' as long as nothing goes wrong between now and the end of the season. Liverpool will battle it out with Manchester United for his signature, with the Red Devils also looking for a left-back.
Received Kvaratskhelia boost
Liverpool have been given a boost in their hopes of signing Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Serie A's sporting director has revealed that contract talks have been put on hold, presenting an opportunity for the Reds.
“We saw each other, we talked,” said Giovanni Manna. “We don't want to keep talking about it now; We will do that again at the end of the season, because he still has two years left on his contract. We want him to stay focused on the field and we want to reward him.
“We are also calm on this matter. We meet all player agents; it was a meeting like many others, and we talked about many things. Mati is having a good season and we are very happy.”
Shearer sends Salah a warning
Alan Shearer has sent a stark warning to Liverpool as they close to handing Mo Salah a new contract. It appears the Egyptian will extend his stay at Anfield by two years, although Shearer fears this could leave him exposed in future negotiations.
“When I hear people say just give him what he wants, in terms of the Salah situation you can't just give a player what he wants,” Shearer told Radio 5 Live. Firstly, you don't know what he's asking for because he could put the club in an impossible situation if you give him what he wants while someone else wants to know what he's getting paid.
“Then the next big hitter who comes in will want and demand what he gets paid. There has to be a balance somewhere. We don't know what target bonus Salah is on, so it's a very complicated situation when you talk about contracts for players who being in their 30s but having been a big part of the football club.”
