Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest transfer news in La Liga on Wednesday, December 16.

Wednesday morning's La Liga transfer talk news roundup:


Liverpool considering move for Atletico Madrid's Marcos Llorente?

Liverpool are reportedly considering a move for Atletico Madrid midfielder Marcos Llorente.

The 25-year-old scored twice at Anfield in the last-16 second leg back in March to knock the Reds out of the Champions League, and now it appears that the side are keen to welcome him back.

ESPN reports that Jurgen Klopp is interested in landing the Spaniard, although it appears that they are not the only ones in the race to sign him, according to Llorente's agent.

"I have received many calls since Anfield for Marcos Llorente," his agent Julio Llorente told radio station Cadena Ser.

"Marcos and I have always talked about this, and he wants to stay, so there is not much else to do. The last call I received was in May, and it was not from Spain."

Llorente, who made his international debut last month against the Netherlands, has made over 50 appearances for Diego Simeone's side since joining from city rivals Real Madrid in 2019, and has scored five goals and provided three assists in 17 appearances this campaign.



Barcelona 'refusing to sell Frenkie de Jong amid Bayern Munich interest'

Bayern Munich remain interested in Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong despite the chances of the Dutch midfielder leaving Barcelona remaining unlikely, according to reports.

The German champions were prepared to spend more than £70m to land the 23-year-old, whom they first targeted when he burst on to the scene at Ajax.

However, ESPN reports that despite Barcelona's need for cash, they will resist any offers from the Champions League winners, refusing to even talk about the possibility of a deal.

De Jong, 23, recently signed a new six-year contract at Camp Nou, and one source close to the player says that there is less than a 1% chance of the midfielder joining Bayern in the immediate future.

The financial situation of the Spanish giants remains precarious, however, and they must sell before they can consider recruiting in January.

De Jong, who has played under three coaches at Camp Nou since signing in 2019, is considered a key figure at Barca and they will not entertain bids for the Dutchman.
