Liverpool issued 'hands-off' warning by RB Leipzig over midfielder as Jurgen Klopp 'requests' signing

While there's every chance that Calvin Ramsey, Fabio Carvalho and Darwin Nunez will be the last of Liverpool's new arrivals this summer, there are still reports on a daily basis that they aren't quite finished in the transfer market yet.

The Reds have lost three key attackers in Sadio Mane, Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi, and while Carvalho and especially Nunez will help fill that void, could there be room for another addition up front?

And what about midfield? While Liverpool seem to be holding out for Jude Bellingham, there are still some who say Jurgen Klopp should bolster his options in the centre of the park this summer.

Where?

Another midfielder linked with Liverpool is Barcelona starlet, Gavi. The 17-year-old is out of next contract next summer and if he fails to agree a new deal at Camp Nou, he would not be short of suitors.

However, Barca's director of football Mateu Alemany gave a significant update on Wednesday that seems to suggest Gavi will be staying put.

Alemany said: "He is 17 years of age and we are waiting until he turns 18 on August 5 so he can sign a contract longer than three years. We have small details to close out but we will get it resolved. 100% Gavi will continue at Barça.”

Who?

Marco Asensio

What?

Daily Express

Where?

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has reportedly requested the signing of Real Madrid forward Asensio.

The Spain international's name is one that has been linked with the Reds all the summer. And, according to this report, it seems Klopp is keen on the 26-year-old.

With his Madrid contract set to expire next summer, it is said that a bid of £25.7m would be enough to secure Asensio's signing.
