It’s always important to keep an open mind when it comes to transfer rumours. Some will be based in reality, else no moves would ever take place, but others are flights of fancy from who knows where.
Even the genuine stories don’t all pan out. Liverpool were hoping to sign Aurelien Tchouameni in the summer but he opted to join Real Madrid instead. The wound from losing the Champions League final had a little salt added to it almost immediately.
The Reds don’t tend to make big signings in the January transfer window (unless a rival forces their hand, as we saw with Luis Diaz ). As such, all eyes will be on the business they aim to complete once 2022/23 is in the books, with Jude Bellingham sizing up to be the most sought-after player in Europe next summer.
