Liverpool offered Karim Adeyemi 'hope' as Man City transfer battle emerges

Liverpool march on in the Champions League despite falling to a 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan on Tuesday night.

The 2-0 victory in the first leg at the San Siro proved to be enough for Jurgen Klopp's side as they continue to battle on all fronts this season.

Elsewhere, eyes are already turning to the summer transfer window and how Liverpool will build on what could turn out to be a very successful season for the club.

So here's a round-up of all the latest Reds transfer news and gossip from around the globe.

Who?

Karim Adeyemi

Where?

Sky in Germany

What?

Liverpool are among the clubs still interested in RB Salzburg starlet Karim Adeyemi, according to reports in Germany.

The Reds were linked with a move for the 20-year-old in January but Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund emerged as front runners in the latter stages of the window.

However, fresh reports from Sky in Germany suggest that, while the player is keen on the move to Dortmund, the two clubs are yet to agree a fee, which is given hope to other interested parties.

They claim Salzburg rejected an initial offer of €30-35million and are holding out for €40million - a fee other clubs wouldn't hesitate to pay.

It goes on to say that Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig 'see their chance' and that Dortmund must not gamble.

Who?

Paulo Dybala

Where?

Calciomercato

What?

Paulo Dybala is unlikely to stay at Juventus beyond this season, according to reports from Italy.

Calciomercato reported this week that the coming days could be decisive for the player's future as his representatives are set to sit down with the club this week for contract talks.

It notes that there has previously been a 'distance' between Dybala's requests and what the club is willing to offer and if an agreement cannot be reached, he'll leave for free in the summer.

Liverpool, along with the likes of Barcelona, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid, have been tentatively linked with the player in recent times.

However, there will certainly be plenty of interest in the 28-year-old if he leaves Turin this summer, but it's yet to be seen whether the Reds will be in the conversation.

Who?

Diego Carlos

Where?

Fichajes.net

What?

Liverpool and Manchester City are interested in Sevilla defender Diego Carlos, according to reports from Spain.

Fichajes.net says the Premier League duo are both keen on the 28-year-old, with an eye on the summer transfer window.

However, reports elsewhere contradict this as Goal in Spain reported this week that the central defender has only recently signed a new contract with the La Liga club.

It goes on to say that the deal, running until 2025, has a release clause of around €80million - a fee Liverpool would be reluctant to pay for a player who wouldn't be a guaranteed starter.

The acquisition of Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig last summer represents the future of the Reds' defence, although Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip are showing no signs of slowing down.
