Liverpool have been linked with Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni

 

 

 

 

 

Liverpool’s Premier League title defence is falling apart after Sunday’s 3-0 defeat at Manchester City. The Reds have now suffered four consecutive away defeats in the league for the first time since 2012. Arne Slot’s side are eight points behind league leaders Arsenal after just 11 matches, leading many to question whether their title defence is over already.

 

 

 

 

 

Slot’s team will also be worried about their prospects of securing a place in next season’s Champions League. The Reds currently find themselves outside the European spots – languishing in eighth place.

 

 

 

 

 

The November international break may have arrived at the right time for Slot’s men, who return to action on November 22 at home to Nottingham Forest. Below are some of the latest media reports surrounding Liverpool…

Bastoni offer ‘being prepared’

 

 

 

Mundo Deportivo report that following the long-term injury to Giovanni Leoni and the potential departure of Ibrahima Konate next summer, Liverpool are working to strengthen their defence ahead of the January transfer window.

 

 

 

The Reds have reportedly set their sights on Inter Milan centre-back Alessandro Bastoni, who is under contract until 2028. It is said that Liverpool are aware of his value and are preparing an offer of at least €100million (around £88m).

 

 

 

Szoboszlai ‘being monitored’

 

 

 

AS claim that Real Madrid and Manchester City are closely monitoring Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai and the Reds are increasingly worried about his contract situation and long-term future at Anfield.

The 25-year-old reportedly earns €130,000 (around £114,000) a week, with the report stating that it is a negligible figure compared to players in the same position at other top European clubs.

 

 

 

It is said that Liverpool are keen to extend his contract until 2030 and reward his excellent performance with a pay rise.

 

 

 

Szoboszlai has been touted as a future Liverpool captain, but the midfielder has insisted there is no need for him to join a formal leadership group at present.

 

 

 

 

 

“We have enough leaders with Virgil, with Mo, with Robbo, with Ali,” he told ESPN. “They have been here longer, some of them seven or eight years here, the captain and vice-captains.

 

 

 

“I just try to do my best on the pitch. If it seems like I am a leader, then I’ll keep doing that on the pitch, not outside the pitch.”
