Liverpool 'made €100m offer for Real Madrid midfielder'
Liverpool ended up having a much busier end to the summer transfer window than they would have wanted.
The Reds moved to bring in Arthur Melo on loan from Juventus in the final hours of the window. The injury problems in midfield led to Liverpool changing their stance to sign a new addition.
Throughout the window, Liverpool were linked with a host of potential targets. Now a report from Spain has claimed that the Reds made a big-money bid before deciding to go for Arthur instead.

According to Spanish news outlet AS, via Madrid Universal , Liverpool made a bid for Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde within the final two days of the transfer window. It has been claimed that the offer was worth around €100million (£87m).
However, the report adds that Liverpool’s offer was swiftly rejected by Madrid, with the La Liga side now entertaining any offers for Valverde that late in the window. The Uruguay international was tentatively linked with Liverpool throughout the summer, but those rumours quietened as the window rolled on.

Antonio Conte 'requests' transfer for Liverpool-linked midfielder
Liverpool may have been dealt a possible blow in their reported pursuit of Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella.
The Reds have been linked with Barella ever since the start of the summer transfer window, although no move materialised for the player. Instead, Liverpool opted to bring in Arthur Melo on loan for the season from Juventus.
With Liverpool, or no club for that matter, making a move for Barella, rumours are likely to surface of other sides showing an interest in the player. A fresh report from Italy has now done just that.
According to Diretta Goal , Tottenham Hotspur are expressing a possible interest in signing Barella in the future. It does not say, though, whether this interest will become concrete in January or next summer’s transfer window.
The report goes on to say that Spurs boss Antonio Conte is a big admirer of Barella, who he managed during his time as Inter boss. It has also been claimed that Conte is requesting Tottenham to sign Barella and bring him to North London.
