Saturday's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup: Kylian Mbappe, Rodrigo De Paul, Georginio Wijnaldum

Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Liverpool on Saturday, January 9.

The January transfer window is now open, with Liverpool continuing to be linked with a host of big names.

Jurgen Klopp has been forced to contend with a crippling injury crisis during the first half of the season, leading to speculation that the Premier League champions could move for a new defender this month.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Anfield.

Saturday morning's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup:


Liverpool 'lining up package deal for Kylian Mbappe'

Liverpool are reportedly giving serious consideration to launching a bid for Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe.

Despite having recently won the Champions League and Premier League, it has been suggested that the Merseyside giants cannot afford the World Cup winner.

PSG are currently attempting to extend the contract of the France international, who has just over 18 months remaining on his contract.

However, according to AS, Liverpool are in a strong position when it comes to making an approach for the 22-year-old.

The report suggests that the start of the club's sponsorship deal with Nike later this year will provide them with the funds required to get a deal over the line.

Despite long-term interest from Real Madrid, Mbappe is also said to be open to a switch to the Premier League.



Liverpool step up interest in Udinese midfielder Rodrigo De Paul?

Liverpool have reportedly identified Udinese midfielder Rodrigo De Paul as a potential January transfer target.

Injuries to key defenders have led to the Premier League champions being heavily linked with a new centre-back at the midway point of the campaign.

However, with Georginio Wijnaldum's future still up in the air, Jurgen Klopp is also having to consider his options in midfield.

According to The Sun, Liverpool hold an interest in De Paul, who has been linked with a switch to Leeds United over the past six months.

The Argentine has starred in Serie A this season, contributing three goals and one assist from his 15 appearances in Italy's top flight.

Udinese allegedly value the 26-year-old at £40m, an increase from his £35m asking price last year.
