There is no rest for Liverpool, who returned to action on Tuesday night against Rangers and Jurgen Klopp had much to say, while a serious ankle injury has affected a loan.
Reds on the hunt for Duran from the MLS
The search for the next signing never stops and Liverpool are now being linked to Colombia and Jhon Duran’s Chicago Fire.
The Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra, who broke the news of Luis Díaz’s change from Anfield, has reported that “the same Liverpool scout who followed Díaz has gone to see Durán.”
The 18-year-old striker is valued at €10m (£8.69m) and has many takers across Europe, including Chelsea, Lille, Frankfurt and PSV.
Durán has eight goals in 26 MLS appearances in 2022, his first season in the United States after leaving Envigado in his native Colombia.
“He is a player who, once he achieves everything, can be a very, very special player. He has all the tools,” Fire coach Ezra Hendrickson said of Duran, who is a teammate of ex-Red Xherdan Shaqiri.
The teenager made his debut for Colombia last month, playing alongside Diaz, and could find himself on the move during the winter window.
It’s far from concrete at this stage and it’s business as usual for the Reds to track down players from around the world, but it’s something they need to keep an eye on with so many clubs interested in the youngster.
3 things today: Rangers and “back to basics”
Jurgen Klopp feels his team must “go back to basics” to rediscover their defensive solidity after conceding similar goals throughout the season to date. Ex-Red Ben Davies is expected to take his competitive bow at Anfield on Tuesday night for Rangers just three months after his permanent departure.
Latest news from Liverpool F.C.
Sepp van den Berg has suffered a serious ankle ligament injury while on loan at Schalke, who say the defender will miss the remainder of the calendar year, which equates to eight games before the winter break. Bad luck for the young man. Darwin Nunez had a “long talk” with Klopp, who is “completely calm” about the striker’s adaptation time after just two starts so far this season.
