Liverpool 'interested' in £75m Inter Milan striker as Raphinha transfer 'clauses' emerge

The January transfer window has been closed for more than three weeks, and Liverpool’s squad is now set for the remainder of the season.

Luis Diaz was the only signing during the month, with the Reds agreeing a £49million with Porto to bring the Colombia international to Anfield.

Despite the window being closed, Liverpool continue to be linked with a host of potential new players.

Here, we take a lookout some of the latest rumours doing the rounds online and on social media and how likely they are to happen...

Who?

Lautaro Martinez, Inter Milan striker.

Where?

Calciomercato, via Football Italia .

What?

According to the report, Inter would be willing to sell Martinez in the summer, with Liverpool supposedly interested.

The report goes on to say that Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, along with Liverpool, are in the mix to sign the Argentina striker.

It has also been claimed Inter would be willing to part with Martinez if an offer worth €90million (£75m) is made.

Martinez only signed a contract extension with Inter back in October that runs until 2026, so the chances of the Serie A champions letting their star striker leave so soon after seems unlikely.

Who?

Raphinha, Leeds United forward.

Where?

What?

According to the report, Chelsea are now leading the race to sign Raphinha amid interest from Liverpool.

The report states that Chelsea are ahead of Spanish giants Barcelona in the race to sign the Brazilian - and could get him for as little as €25million if an apparent relegation release clause kicks in.

The reports adds Raphinha has two clauses in his contract, the current release clause in his contract standing at €75million.

The ECHO understands that Raphinha is a player with admirers at Anfield, along with West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen.

Who?

Ryan Gravenberch, Ajax midfielder.

Where?

German news outlet Sport1 .

What?

According to the report, Liverpool face competition from the Bundesliga for Gravenberch.

The report claims that Bayern Munich are preparing for two possible departures in Corentin Tolisso and Marc Roca and are already 'sounding out' their replacements.

It has been claimed that Bayern are reportedly keen to sign Gravenberch as part of a 'midfield upheaval' at the end of the season.

The 19-year-old is a potential candidate as the outlet claims he is of interest to Bayern and he's currently under contract with Ajax until 2023.

The Reds have previously been linked with the Dutch international as a potential replacement for Gini Wijnaldum, who left the club on a free transfer last summer.
