Liverpool named favourites to land Premier League star but suffer fresh Karim Adeyemi blow

Liverpool are gearing up for their Champions League Round of 16 clash with Inter Milan.

After a 2-0 first leg win, the Reds already have one foot in the next round, but they still have a job to finish to bag a quarter-final spot.

Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp’s men remain in the thick of the title race, and they are also in with a chance of winning the FA Cup.

The quadruple is the dream, but whether the Reds manage that or not, they will be looking to strengthen ahead of next season.

And here we have all the latest rumours concerning Liverpool:

Adeyemi latest

It emerged on Monday that Borussia Dortmund had shown hesitancy over landing RB Salzburg frontman Karim Adeyemi.

Liverpool were tipped to make a move as a result, having been heavily linked with the front-man previously.

According to Sky Germany via TeamTalk, though, Dortmund have now decided to follow through on their interest, reportedly bidding between £25million and £29m.

Tielemans favourites

Liverpool are said to be ahead of Premier League rivals Arsenal and Manchester United in the race to land midfielder Youri Tielemans.

The Leicester City star is a hot property ahead of this summer, and as noticed by LeicestershireLive, the Reds are at the front of the queue, according to the bookmakers.

Tielemans’ current contract is set to expire in 2023, and Leicester could move to land a significant fee this summer to avoid the risk of going into the last year of his deal.

Origi latest

Divock Origi could land a club pretty swiftly after leaving Liverpool, according to the latest reports.

The Reds are expected to allow Origi to leave at the end of this contract, this summer, and journalist Paolo Esposito is reporting that Napoli could move to swipe him up on a free deal.

Napoli are already free to negotiate a deal with Origi ahead of the summer, and it will be interesting to see if they do indeed engage in talks.
