Some transfer rumours inevitably seem more plausible than others. When it’s Liverpool being linked with a Red Bull player, the believability factor undoubtedly rises.
The Reds have signed Naby Keita, Takumi Minamino and Ibrahima Konate from either Leipzig or Salzburg. Sadio Mane spent three seasons with the latter prior to his move to Southampton too, so some very important Liverpool players have spent vital developmental time with the Red Bull teams.
It’s therefore inevitable that any talented young players they have swiftly get rumoured to be on the Reds’ transfer radar. They were linked with Karim Adeyemi prior to his move to Borussia Dortmund, and there has already been stories this summer regarding their supposed interest in Luka Sucic.
