The summer transfer window has now closed and attention will begin to turn to January for Premier League champions Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp's side brought in Thiago Alcantara, Diogo Jota and Kostas Tsimikas during the summer, making for one of their busier transfer windows in the last couple of years.

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

Friday morning's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup:

Liverpool to beat Manchester United to young defender?

Liverpool are reportedly in discussions with Celta Vigo over a potential move for Stefan Bajcetic.

The 16-year-old, who currently turns out for Celta's B youth team, has recently been linked with a move to Manchester United.

A recent report claimed that the Red Devils were holding talks with the defender's representatives in the hope that a deal could be agreed ahead of the January transfer window.

However, according to the Liverpool Echo, Liverpool are also firmly in the race for Bajcetic, who has impressed scouts from the Premier League champions with his performances at youth level.

Celta would be due a compensation fee should the youngster, who is the son of former Serbian professional footballer Srdan Bajcetic, move on.

Liverpool will also allegedly face competition from United for Schalke 04 defender Ozan Kabak.

Loris Karius set for early Liverpool return?

Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius could reportedly head back to Anfield in January after an underwhelming stint at Union Berlin.

The German shot-stopper joined the Bundesliga outfit on loan in the summer but is yet to make a top-flight appearance for the club as 33-year-old Andreas Luthe remains Urs Fischer's number one.

Karius recently made his debut for Union Berlin in the DFB-Pokal, but the 27-year-old shipped three goals as Fischer's side were knocked out by second-tier side Paderborn.

Now, German outlet Kicker reports that Karius's loan spell at Union Berlin is expected to be cut short and the goalkeeper will head back to Merseyside in January.

Karius, who still has 18 months left to run on his current Liverpool deal, was a regular for Besiktas during his two-year loan spell in Turkey, but the shot-stopper is believed to have fallen out with club chiefs as his time in the Super Lig ended in May.
