Liverpool to 'battle' Real Madrid for £85m striker as Ousmane Dembele deal 'offered'

The season is now over and it ended on a bitter note for Liverpool after losing the Champions League final against Real Madrid in Paris on Saturday night.

A campaign in which Liverpool played 63 games ended with two trophies won, but the biggest of the two slipped away at the final hurdle, having also been pipped to the Premier League title by Manchester City.

Jurgen Klopp and this side have been here before, though, and they know what it takes to bounce back - and there is a chance the Reds boss will decide to add to his already impressive squad.

And, on that note, here are your latest Liverpool transfer rumours from around the globe.

Who?

Darwin Nunez

Where?

Sport Witness

What?

Liverpool are reportedly battling it out with Real Madrid over the signing of the Uruguayan striker.

But Nunez wouldn't come cheap as the Portuguese side are apparently demanding a fee of around £85million to part with their star man.

Who?

Ousmane Dembele

Where?

Sport

What?

According to the report, Liverpool have made an offer to Dembele, with the winger's contract at Barcelona expiring this summer. Chelsea are also said to be interested.

The 25-year-old signed for Barca for a fee worth more than £100 million but the move hasn't gone to plan. However, he will be one of the most sought after free transfers in the market and Jurgen Klopp has previously expressed his admiration.

Who?

Gavi

Where?

Diario Sport

What?

The report claims that Liverpool are ready to activate the release clause in Gavi's contract at Barcelona after growing uncertain in their pursuit of Monaco's Aurelien Tchouameni.

The clause stands at £4million and that would be a steal for a player of his talents. The Reds are admirers of Tchouameni, but it seems as though Real Madrid may win the race for the French midfielder's signature.
