Premier League star told to join Liverpool - NOT Barcelona

One Premier League star has been told that Liverpool is the right move for him. He should forget heading to Barcelona.

Liverpool are getting ready to finalise their transfer plans for the January window. That opens in just a few weeks and there's no question that the Reds have got to have a look.

The injury to Giovanni Leoni leaves them short at the back, while they'll also want to get ahead of Ibrahima Konate's contract expiring. Then there's the fact that Liverpool's form has fallen off a cliff - that's something that will always have a team looking at the market in case of a quick fix.

And so it'll be interesting to see what Liverpool do. Are we going to see a centre-back arrive? More than one?

Will there be a defensive midfielder? Or a new winger? Something has to be done about Mo Salah, after all, and the Reds never replaced Luis Diaz.

What about a right-back?

Daniel Munoz told to join Liverpool

There's plenty of hype around Daniel Munoz right now and it's for good reason. The Colombian has been fantastic for Crystal Palace both last season and this time around.

An attacking wingback who's also solid defensively - there's plenty to love about Munoz. And naturally, given he's at Palace, there are links to big-money moves away.

He's been linked with Barcelona in a move that, honestly, makes a lot of sense. Compatriot and former Napoli star Juan Camilo Zuniga feels that would be the wrong place to go, though. Instead, Munoz should be at Liverpool.

“Because of Dani’s style of play, I would put him at Liverpool,” he told Caracol Radio.

“A team with a lot of attacking and box-to-box play would be a great fit for Liverpool because Dani is very active, so he attacks the spaces a lot. So, I would keep him in the Premier League.

“Yes, I would keep him in the Premier League because the slow, methodical style doesn’t suit him. He’s more of an attacker, looking to exploit space. Barcelona gives him a lot of possession, taking the ball there, bringing it back. It’s more of a premium style.”

Now, we'd love to have Munoz at Liverpool but it doesn't make much sense. The Reds have two very good options at right-back, with Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong - both of whom can play as wingbacks, too.

We also imagine Palace are absolutely sick of the Reds. Marc Guehi nearly made the move in the summer and there's clear interest in Adam Wharton as well.

It's hard to see a deal for Munoz happening, then. Even if he's the right calibre of star for Liverpool.
