FIFA ruling could be bad news for Kylian Mbappe and Liverpool as Reds get Fluminese green light

A busy summer of incomings and outgoings has ultimately led to Liverpool looking much more like their fiercesome selves than at most parts of last season.

VAR scandals and fixture congestion aside, Jurgen Klopp will be pleased with how the season has begun but that's not to say the German won't look to dip back into the market in January.

Here's your Friday evening transfer round-up.

Liverpool to swoop back in on Brazilian in January

Liverpool are continuing to monitor a move for Fluminese midfielder Andre with a potential January approach on the cards.

Football Insider report that the 22-year-old Brazilian could become the latest new name in the Reds' midfield as Jurgen Klopp continues his rebuild in the centre of the park following this summer's mass exodus.

Liverpool were believed to have multiple bids for Andre rejected by the Brazilian club over the summer with the side determined to keep the star's services until the new year as they hunt down a historic first-ever Copa Libertadores.

Fluminense president Mario Bittencourt previously told O Globo: “Liverpool’s executive director contacted me directly. And I replied to him: ‘My friend, I don’t sell players now and I don’t deliver now’. If you want to buy him now to take him in January, we can start talking, or if you want to wait until December, we’ll talk in December."

FIFA agent ruling could be bad news for Kylian Mbappe and Liverpool

Paris Saint-Germain wonderkid Kylian Mbappe, who has often been linked with a move to Liverpool in recent years, could be forced to part company with his agent - and mother - Fayza Lamari.

Spanish outlet Marca report on a new FIFA regulation that insists agents must be licensed as they work to put a cap on the commission that can be made off transfer fees and salaries. The governing body are also believed to want to prohibit multiple representation.

The report claims Lamari, who is known to have a soft spot for Liverpool, is not registered on the FIFA Agent directory which would mean Mbappe may have to broker any future transfer with a new agent. The Frenchman once told The Telegraph: “I talked to Liverpool because it’s the favourite club of my mum, my mum loves Liverpool… I don’t know why, you will have to ask her! It’s a good club and we met them five years ago. When I was in Monaco I met them. It’s a big club."
