Liverpool may miss out on transfer windfall as 'offer' for midfielder emerges

Here are your Liverpool morning headlines for Thursday, December 1.

Liverpool 'make offer' for Ismael Bennacer

Reports from Italy have claimed that Liverpool could be involved in a couple of deals with one of the country’s biggest clubs in the coming months, with Ismael Bennacer being linked with a move to Anfield.

As the January transfer window approaches, the Reds are being linked with a host of potential new signings that could be added to the squad. Jurgen Klopp may want to dip into the market when able to so he can add reinforcements to his squad.

One area of the pitch that has been a subject of debate is the midfield. Throughout the summer, Liverpool were linked with a long list of possible new additions, but only managed to complete a loan deal for Arthur Melo from Juventus, who is currently sidelined with injury.

However, reports from Italy have claimed that Liverpool could make a move for AC Milan midfielder Bennacer.

Liverpool could miss out on multi-million windfall

Liverpool could be set to miss out on a multi-million transfer windfall in January following Michael Beale’s appointment as Rangers manager.

The former Reds academy coach has left his post at Queens Park Rangers to return to Ibrox, having previously served as the Gers’ first-team coach under Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard . And while he will have worked with the majority of his players before, having only left the Scottish giants in November 2021, there are two names in particular in his ranks that will stand out to Kopites.

Former Liverpool defender Ben Davies is one of the few players at Rangers to have actually not worked with Beale before, having only moved north of the border in the summer. However, fellow former Red Ryan Kent is the player his new manager will know best, having also overseen his development during his formative days in the Anfield youth ranks.

The winger left Liverpool himself in 2019, signing for Rangers permanently in a deal worth an initial £6.5m following a successful loan spell, with a further £1m potentially owed in achievable bonuses. Having initially placed a £12m price tag on the winger’s head, and rejected both a £5m bid from Russian side Krasnodar and a £4.5m offer from Leeds United, the Reds also negotiated a 20% sell-on clause in the deal, confident Kent’s potential would see him one day return to the Premier League.
