Liverpool transfer news as 'scouts sent' to watch £10m star and Nicolo Barella twist emerges

New players are linked with a move to Liverpool every day with top target Alexis Mac Allister already secured for the upcoming season.

The Reds finished fifth in the Premier League last term and were beaten in the Champions League at the round of 16 stage as improvements are needed.

After completing a deal of around £35 million for Mac Allister from Brighton & Hove Albion earlier in June, Liverpool are eyeing up Khephren Thuram as their next target.

However, more names are linked with a move as young Spaniard Gabri Veiga is high on the agenda - with a possible transfer for Italy superstar Nicolo Barella also now being tipped.

Here is a round-up of the latest transfer rumours from around the world as Liverpool look to make more moves in the window.

Nicolo Barella

Shockwaves were sent through social media during the week as it emerged Newcastle were keen on bringing Italy star Barella to the Premier League from Inter Milan.

However, despite Newcastle's interest, it seems like Barella will be staying in Milan - unless a huge bid is sent the way of the Champions League finalists.

Newcastle were rumoured to be readying a £50m offer, but journalist Fabrizio Romano has moved to dismiss the chances of Barella leaving for this price. Liverpool are also thought to be monitoring the situation, according to Romano.

Gabri Veiga

Liverpool have been tracking the youngster with a view to bringing him to Anfield this summer, but may face competition from rivals Chelsea.

The London side have recently inquired about Veiga's release clause as the Celta Vigo midfielder reportedly is available for around £36 million.

According to Romano, Liverpool made contact with the La Liga side about Veiga weeks ago as rumours continue to fly.

Alan Varela

Liverpool are reportedly one of the club's in Europe to be keeping an eye on Boca Juniors star Alan Varela - who has a release clause of around £10million.

According to Planeta Boca Juniors, the Reds sent scouts to watch the 21-year-old in Boca's match against Tiger. Newcastle United and Barcelona are also rumoured to be interested in one of Argentina's hottest talents.

Boca were sent plenty of enquiries in the January window reportedly including one from Premier League side Bournemouth.
