Liverpool TARGETED for major striker deal
Liverpool are wanted in talks by another club as they look to strike a major striker deal. The Reds will be listening.
Liverpool are talking to just about everyone this summer. They're in talks with Bayer Leverkusen and Bournemouth right now, just to name two.

And this isn't even the first round of talks with Leverkusen. Liverpool already bought Jeremie Frimpong from the Germans - though, admittedly, those talks were simply 'we're paying his release clause'.
But a deal for Armin Pecsi has also gone through, while Liverpool have sold Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid and Caoimhin Kelleher to Brentford. There are more deals to come, too.
David Ornstein believes as many as seven players are on the chopping block right now. Honestly, even more could leave.
And now Liverpool have another club looking to strike a deal.

Napoli like Darwin Nunez
Napoli want a striker this summer. Corriere Dello Sport claims Darwin Nunez is on their shortlsit, along with Lorenzo Lucca of Udinese.
The Nunez idea is an interesting one, too. The claim here is that he's just rejected a move to Al-Hilal, who tried to get a last-gasp deal done ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.
That's after initially trying to buy him back in January, as revealed by Anfield Watch. Nunez, though, remains on the market and Napoli want to pair him with Kevin De Bruyne.
This is one that's suddenly a lot more complicated. Everyone expects Nunez to leave this summer but Saudi Arabia felt like his most likely destination.
It was Al-Hilal and company driving his price up to the £70m range. Can Liverpool actually expect a similar return from Atlético Madrid or Napoli?
We're not so sure. And if that's the case, are they actually still up for selling? We'd imagine so, given the money Liverpool want to spend this summer but we're also certain Nunez isn't leaving for £70m without a Saudi club pulling the trigger.
