Here are the latest transfer rumours from Anfield ahead of the weekend.

Liverpool to up bid to beat West Ham to Torino centre-back

Liverpool are readying a £34 million bid for Torino centre-back Perr Schuurs as a summer of spending at Anfield continues.

Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have already been added to the Liverpool squad and it now appears that a centre-back is next on Jurgen Klopp's shopping list.

The Reds have been linked with a move for Chelsea youngster Levi Colwill, but the London club remain stubborn on a deal with Mauricio Pochettino wanting to work with the highly-rated player.

According to Tuttosport, Liverpool have already had a £25 million offer turned down by Torino for 23-year-old Schuurs and are now ready to up that figure to £34 million.

The Italian press report that Klopp has wanted Schuurs for two years and has told representatives a deal must be struck this summer. Liverpool face competition from Serie A Champions Napoli and Premier League rivals West Ham, with the Hammers ready to offer £17 million plus Nikola Vlasic for Schuurs.

Liverpool were of course interested in bringing Jude Bellingham to Anfield to bolster the side's midfield after a disappointing showing last season, highlighting it as a key area for improvement in Klopp's eyes - hence the arrivals of Mac Allister and Szoboszlai.

90min report that a number of informal approaches were sent to the midfielder and now both Madrid and Valverde’s representatives have replied to make it clear that the player does not want to leave the Bernabeu.
