Friday morning's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup:
Liverpool 'weighing up summer move for Aissa Mandi'
Liverpool are reportedly considering a summer move for Real Betis defender Aissa Mandi.
The Reds are expected to be in the market for a new centre-back ahead of the 2020-21 campaign as Dejan Lovren is likely to leave this summer in search of pastures new.
According to Estadio Deportivo, Mandi has emerged as a target for the Premier League champions, with the 28-year-old expected to leave Betis in the upcoming transfer window.
The Algeria international's contract in Seville is due to expire next summer, and the report claims that it would be a 'miracle' if the defender penned a new deal.
Mandi has spent the last four years with Betis, making 141 appearances in all competitions, including 30 outings during the 2019-20 campaign.
Arsenal have previously been credited with an interest in the former Reims youngster.
Thiago Alcantara 'sees his future at Liverpool'
Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara is reportedly keen to leave the Allianz Arena during this summer's transfer window to make the move to Liverpool.
The 29-year-old's contract in Munich is due to expire next June, and the speculation surrounding his future continues to gather pace.
Liverpool have been strongly linked with the Spain international in recent weeks, although a recent report claimed that the Premier League champions were struggling to agree a fee with Bayern.
According to Abendzeitung, Thiago is keen to seek a new challenge this summer and 'sees his future' at Anfield despite suggestions of interest from Manchester United.
The report also claims that Jurgen Klopp's side are confident of reaching a 'compromise' over a fee for the experienced midfielder, who joined the Bundesliga champions from Barcelona in 2013.
Thiago has contributed three goals and two assists in 36 appearances for Bayern this term.
