Liverpool transfer round-up: 2 rejected bids; 2 new stories and 1 big blow

Liverpool had a dream star to their Premier League campaign with a win at the Emirates on an opening day.

However, the shortcomings of the side were visible for all to see which has left the manager still in search of additions in the transfer market.

Klopp will also have to let go of players who will play no role in his squad next season. That has seen a number of players from the club linked with a move away from the club this summer.

With just two weeks of the transfer window left, let’s take a look at the rumors coming out of Anfield today:

Christian Benteke bid rejected:

The big Belgian is on his way out of the club and it is revealed that Premier League outfit Crystal Palace were finally ready to meet Liverpool’s valuation of the player which is close to the £32.5m they paid for his last summer.

Reports suggest that Palace earlier today made a bid of £30m but were rejected. It is revealed that Palace were ready to offer £23m up front and another £7m in add-ons but Liverpool want more for their player initially without depending on any add-ons.

Lucas Leiva would have been at Galatasaray if not for Klopp:

Last week, it was reported that Liverpool are close to letting veteran midfielder Lucas leave the club this summer with Turkish giants Galatasaray interested in his signing but a deal fell through.

It is now revealed that Lucas was ready for the move but Jurgen Klopp wanted him to stay at the club for a bit longer to ease the defensive pressures on the squad. So the Brazilian might have a role to play at Anfield this season.

Chelsea make Jonas Hector move:

Liverpool looked like they missed out on top transfer target Jonas Hector when it was revealed that he signed a new contract extension with German outfit FC Koln till 2021.

However, it is now understood that Jose Mourinho is interested in bringing him to the Stamford Bridge and is ready to make a £20m bid for the defender. It will be interesting to see if Koln let their player leave days after agreeing on a new contract.

Klopp not signing a left-back:

Liverpool are desperate for a left-back to add to their squad this summer with Alberto Moreno, the first choice at that place showing why he deserves to be replaced in the recent game against Arsenal.

However, it is now reported that Klopp is not trying hard to land a left-back this summer and is ready to use James Milner in that position for the most game next season.

Gary Medel bid rejected:

Liverpool were reportedly interested in signing the Inter Milan midfielder to ease the pressure in Liverpool’s midfield this summer.

However, it is now revealed that Liverpool made an official bid for the player which was immediately rejected. Though the price and the club were un-named, it is understood that Liverpool were desperate to get their man and made the bid.
