Fresh from an FA Cup third round win that saw young faces make a name for themselves, attention is quickly turning back to the transfer window.
The Reds beat Accrington Stanley on Saturday, with Rio Ngumoha becoming the club's youngest ever starter and Jayden Danns scoring another goal in the domestic cup. Arne Slot's only summer signing also impressed as Federico Chiesa got on the scoresheet in the 4-0 win.
The promise shown has not reduced transfer speculation surrounding the club. Incoming interest and possible exits remain on the agenda, following limited activities during the summer.
Mirror Football takes a look at the latest transfer news and rumors surrounding Anfield.
Kvaratskhelia asks to leave
Napoli boss Antonio Conte has revealed that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has requested a move away from the club in the January transfer window. Kvaratskhelia has long been touted for a move and now it has been confirmed that it could come soon.
Liverpool are known to admire Kvaratskhelia, but Paris Saint-Germain is currently the leader. Sources close to the player have indicated that PSG have made progress on a personal level with the Georgia star on a long-term contract.
The 23-year-old is now pushing for his departure and Conte has failed to convince him to stay in Naples. The Italian said: “[Kvaratskhelia] the club asked to be sold.
“I'm disappointed. It came out of the blue. I don't want him to think I chained him here… We're losing an important player.”
Conte added: “I tried to convince Kvaratskhelia to stay, but he has decided to try a new chapter. The club and his agent will now find the solution… I can't keep Kvara here if he doesn't want to to stay.”
Contact person Liverpool
According to Sport Witness, Liverpool have contacted El Hadji's agent Malick Diouf about a possible move.
The Reds are eyeing the Slavia Prague star as Andy Robertson's successor, it is said. Premier League chiefs have contacted the player's agent to gain insight into whether a move is possible amid intense competition.
Crystal Palace have already made a move, while Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth are said to have expressed their interest. Slavia Prague demands 25 million euros for their player.
Name Prize Liverpool
According to reports, Liverpool would be open to selling Harvey Elliott if they can secure £40 million.
Borussia Dortmund are said to be interested in the 21-year-old, who has only made ten appearances this season after struggling with an injury. Brighton are among those looking at the midfielder in addition to the Bundesliga.
Liverpool have spent £4.3million to bring Elliott to Anfield from Fulham following a tribunal ruling. Should they choose to allow his departure, they stand to make a significant profit.
