Liverpool boosted by Bukayo Saka transfer 'concern' as double Barcelona claim made

Supporters may soon see the best of Luis Diaz in a Liverpool shirt.

The 25-year-old caught the eye during his cameo display against Cardiff City on Sunday and will now be hoping to build on this performance in the weeks ahead.

Jurgen Klopp now has one further attacking option in the ranks, and is expected to strengthen the group again in the summer window.

It remains to be seen as to who the Reds will target, but there continues to be plenty of star names emerging as potential purchases.

Below is a round-up of the latest Liverpool rumours.

Who?

Youri Tielemans

Where?

Daily Mirror

What?

Youri Tielemans has reportedly emerged as a summer target for Manchester United.

The Belgian star has been linked with a move to Anfield on more than one occasion, though it seems the Reds will face strong competition for the services of the former Monaco midfielder.

United are said to be 'growing increasingly confident' they can capture the 24-year-old for a fee in the region of £40million.

It is understood that the Red Devils' new CEO, Richard Arnold, has made signing a high-class midfielder one of his 'main priorities'.

Who?

Bukayo Saka

Where?

Daily Mail

What?

Arsenal may struggle to tie Bukayo Saka down to a new deal if they fail to secure Champions League football this season, it has been claimed.

Mikel Arteta's side remain in a transitional phase, which has seen the Gunners place a lot of faith in young talent to drive a new future for the football club.

Saka is one of the star players at the Emirates and the Mail have claimed that extending his contract has been made a 'priority'.

But there is 'concern' that the 20-year-old committing to the club beyond 2024 could prove a tough ask if a top-four finish is not earned.

Who?

Ronald Araujo and Gavi

Where?

Sport

What?

Barcelona are believed to be certain that defender Ronaldo Araujo and midfielder Gavi will not seek a way out of the club.

The LaLiga giants have been in talks with the pair for some time and negotiations are 'advanced', according to the above report. In the case of Gavi, an agreement is 'closer' to being reached compared with Araujo.

Liverpool has previously been suggested as a potential destination for the Barcelona duo, who still have plenty to offer in their respective careers.
