Liverpool's 'Jude Bellingham alternative' emerges as Fabio Carvalho claim made

Liverpool will bounce back into Premier League action this weekend when they face neighbours Everton in the Merseyside Derby on Sunday afternoon.

The Reds will be looking to keep pace with league-leaders Manchester City, who host Watford a day earlier, while their local rivals will be desperate to get something out of the game, with their Premier League existence seriously under threat.

Jurgen Klopp has been able to call upon a fully fit squad recently, but he will no doubt be looking to make some tweaks in the summer, so here is a look at the latest Liverpool transfer rumours across the information superhighway.

Football Insider

Why?

Liverpool's hopes of landing Jude Bellingham this summer appear to have been dealt a blow after the player's current club, Borussia Dortmund, insisted that he won't be sold in the off season.

Both the Reds and Manchester United have been in hot pursuit of the talented 18-year-old, but according to Football Insider, a recruitment source has claimed that the German club have no intention of letting one of their prize assets move to the Premier League. The club is believed to have already agreed a deal that will see top striker Erling Haaland join Manchester City at the end of the season and they are in no rush to lose another important player to the Premier League.

Bellingham's current contract runs until 2025, but it is understood that Dortmund are prepared to offer the Englishman increased terms and are planning to sign his 16-year-old brother Jobe Bellingham.

Why?

Fulham boss Marco Silva is insisting that he knows nothing about an agreement that will see Fabio Carvalho sign for Liverpool this summer, despite a deal rumoured to have already been signed.

The Craven Cottage boss was speaking during his pre-match press conference ahead of Fulham's match against Bournemouth this weekend. He said: “As you expect I am speaking with our board every single day, and until now I didn’t receive news about it. If there’s something, a clause or not with any club. For that, I don’t want to talk about rumours or if something is true or not.

"He's been fantastic, he is a fantastic boy. I got him with just one year left on his contract, possibly the [only] bad thing I can think of. I'm 100 per cent sure he will have a very good career ahead of him because he deserves it."
