Friday's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup: Eder Militao, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk

Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Liverpool on Friday, November 13.

The summer transfer window has now closed and attention will begin to turn to January for Premier League champions Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp's side brought in Thiago Alcantara, Diogo Jota and Kostas Tsimikas during the summer, making for one of their busier transfer windows in the last couple of years.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Anfield.

Friday morning's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup:


Liverpool 'lining up £36m offer for Eder Militao'

Liverpool are reportedly preparing a £36m bid for Real Madrid defender Eder Militao.

The Merseyside club's injury issues have worsened during the international break, with England's Joe Gomez forced to undergo surgery after suffering a serious knee injury.

Gomez has joined Virgil van Dijk on the sidelines, potentially for the remainder of the season, and the Reds are widely expected to enter the January transfer market for a new central defender.

According to reports in Spain, Jurgen Klopp's side have identified Militao as a potential acquisition, with the Brazil international largely struggling to show his best form for Madrid since arriving from Porto in July 2019.

Liverpool are said to be lining up a £36m offer for the South American, although it remains to be seen whether Los Blancos are prepared to sanction his exit in the middle of the season.

Militao has only made three appearances for Zinedine Zidane's side this term.



Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman hints at move for Liverpool's Georginio Wijnaldum

Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman has once again hinted that the club could look to sign Georginio Wijnaldum from Liverpool in the future.

Wijnaldum, who played under Koeman during the latter's time as Netherlands boss, is in the final year of his contract at Anfield and recently refused to answer questions on his future at the club.

Koeman has made no secret of his desire to bring the 30-year-old to Camp Nou and will be free to discuss terms with the midfielder from January unless he signs fresh terms at Liverpool before then.

"He's very good but he's playing for Liverpool. He could be an option in the future. I can't say more," Koeman told Sport.

The Barca boss has also publicly courted Lyon forward Memphis Depay but admitted that a January move for him would rely on the club's fragile financial situation.

"I don't know. There are various parties involved: Barca, his club and, of course, the financial part. I don't want to talk about this a lot," he added.

"I prefer to talk about players that are here. Everyone knows the positions I have said I would like to strengthen but it all depends on the club's financial situation."

Barcelona currently sit eighth in La Liga having won only three of their opening seven games.
