Here's all the latest Liverpool transfer news for you to catch up on.

Real Madrid want Van Dijk

Virgil van Dijk, like Trent, is out of contract in 2025 and has so far not agreed a new deal at Anfield. He’s been associated with a free transfer to Saudi Arabia but Fichajes suggests Real Madrid could make a bid in January.

It’s unlikely that Liverpool would face a sale of their captain before the end of his contract especially with the Reds fighting on four fronts and Van Dijk establishing a superstar defensive partnership with Ibrahima Konate.

Mo Salah is in unbelievable, almost unstoppable form.

In the Premier League, he leads the way for goal involvements this term with 14 having scored eight times and assisted six goals in his opening 11 appearances.

Speaking on the most recent episode of his podcast, Fozcast, former Premier League goalkeeper Ben Foster made a damning indictment about Liverpool.

He said: "If Liverpool lose Trent, Virgil and Mo Salah, or even if they lose two of them, then that can set Liverpool back five years.

"You can't replace the best player in the world just like that and you can't replace the best Premier League centre-back for the last five to six years."

Yet, despite another run in the side, Caoimhin Kelleher's mindset hasn’t changed.

Football Insider are reporting that the shot-stopper has informed his friends that he will try and leave Liverpool unless he is given direct assurances of the regularity of his appearances for the side.

Liverpool rejected a bid by Nottingham Forest for Kelleher’s services in the summer transfer window just gone, and they are expecting Celtic to make a run for him as a replacement for 38-year-old Kasper Schmeichel.
