Joao Felix comments hand Liverpool 'transfer boost' and rile Diego Simeone

Liverpool's squad is looking stronger than ever at this moment in time.

Jurgen Klopp recently suggested the current crop at the club is the best he has had regarding overall depth, helped by the returns of Harvey Elliott and Thiago Alcantara from injury and the signing of Luis Diaz.

By the time the summer transfer window opens, though, the Reds are expected to seek reinforcements to continue growing as a team.

Just who Liverpool decide to target remains to be seen, but the rumour mill is already turning ahead of the 2021/22 campaign reaching its climax.

Who?

Joao Felix

Where?

Diego Simeone

What?

Atletico Madrid's La Liga title defence has not gone according to plan.

Currently 15 points adrift of league leaders and bitter rivals Real Madrid, Diego Simeone's side have lost their touch this campaign.

Addressing the issues the team are facing at present, Atletico forward Joao Felix has caused controversy by suggesting he knows 'what the problem' is but didn't wish to disclose such information.

This prompted a strong reaction from Simeone, who snapped back: "About what Joao said, you can ask him. I work according to the team. If he is clear about what the problem is, it would be good to know."

Felix's comments may now have placed Liverpool and other European sides on red alert to opportunely act in the transfer market, with chances of a sale potentially increased.

What?

Barcelona are set for a summer of change as Xavi continues his rebuild of the LaLiga giants.

One player who wants to remain at Camp Nou, however, is midfielder Frenkie de Jong. Under contract until 2026, the Dutchman would also command a sizeable fee if sold.

But Spanish publication, Sport, have explained that the dynamic could change if a significant bid is made for the 24-year-old.

It is stated that Liverpool are prepared to move in with a bid to sign De Jong, with Bayern Munich also mentioned as potential buyers.

Who?

Jacob Ramsey

Where?

Fichajes

What?

Liverpool are said to be plotting a move for Aston Villa starlet, Jacob Ramsey.

The 20-year-old has been majorly impressive for Steven Gerrard's side this season, scoring five times in 16 Premier League starts.

Ramsey has proven his ability to compete at the highest level, which has not gone unnoticed by the rest of the division.

According to the above report, the Reds are 'closely following the evolution' of the Birmingham-born star as he continues to shine.
