Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Liverpool on Wednesday, November 4.

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.

Wednesday morning's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup:


Red Bull Salzburg chief expects Erling Braut Haaland to join Liverpool

Wednesday's Liverpool transfer talk: Haaland, Alcantara, Alaba

Red Bull Salzburg sporting director Christoph Freund has said that he expects Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland to "land" at Liverpool one day.

The Norway international has scored 24 goals in 27 appearances for Dortmund since joining from Salzburg in January.

Haaland's form has seen him touted as a target for Europe's biggest clubs, with Real Madrid widely considered to be the frontrunners to sign him next summer.

However, Salzburg chief Freund has suggested that Liverpool may be a more likely destination for the 20-year-old.

Replying to Lothar Matthaus, who name-dropped Haaland during an interview, Freund replied: "He will land there."

Freund added to Sky90: "He can play for any club in the world. With his mentality, his will and self confidence, he will be able to make a mark on European football in the next ten years."

Haaland has four years to run on his contract with Dortmund, although he is believed to have a £67.5m release clause that will kick in from January 2022.



Thiago Alcantara's father confirms Liverpool beat PSG to midfielder

The father of Thiago Alcantara has confirmed that Liverpool beat Paris Saint-Germain to the Spanish playmaker's signature this summer.

The 29-year-old left European champions Bayern Munich in search of a new challenge during the recent window, with Liverpool winning the race for his signature in a deal worth around £25m.

A number of Europe's other top clubs were credited with an interest in Thiago, and his father - former Brazil international Mazinho - has confirmed that PSG made a late attempt to hijack Liverpool's deal before instead signing Thiago's brother Rafinha.

"I had spoken with Leonardo some time ago, but it was for Thiago. Leonardo wanted to sign him for PSG, but Thiago had already made a deal with Liverpool. We then talked about Rafa, but he was not part of Leonardo's plans at that time," Mazinho told France Football.

"I think he must have thought about it, that he saw the nature of the opportunity and it would be a blow to sign him. When he started talking again, Leonardo had changed his mind. And it all sped up on the last day. It was Monday that we had to work hard to convince both clubs.

"We were scared, but thank God, five or six hours before the deadline, we made a deal. Leonardo wanted Thiago, he got Rafinha. And for Rafa, it was a dream to join such a club."

Thiago has so far been limited to only two appearances for Liverpool, having tested positive for coronavirus after his debut and then picked up an injury on his return.
