Divock Origi replacement 'revealed' as Liverpool 'signal' former Manchester City forward
A look at the most recent Liverpool transfer rumours, including information on Enes Unal, Divock Origi, and David Carmo.
Liverpool return to Premier League action on Saturday, hosting Newcastle United at St James' Park. However, Jurgen Klopp's contract extension and the implications for prospective signings have dominated the headlines this week.
The Reds are still in with a chance of completing an unprecedented quadruple this season, with the league, Champions League, and FA Cup all still up for grabs. In the summer, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp may look to bolster his squad even further.
That being said, here is a round-up of all the most recent Liverpool transfer rumours from around the world.
According to recent reports, Liverpool have 'identified' a replacement for striker Divock Origi. When his contract at Anfield expires this summer, the Belgian international could leave for AC Milan.
Outlet Unal of Getafe, according to Fanatik, is a target for the Reds as they look to bolster their attacking options in the summer. According to the report, the 24-year-old has impressed in La Liga this season, scoring 15 goals and assisting once.
While Origi is likely to leave this summer, Liverpool are arguably well stocked up front following the January arrival of Luis Diaz and the ongoing rise of Diogo Jota.
Unal has previously played for Manchester City, whom he joined from Turkish side Bursaspor in 2015. After loan spells in the Netherlands and Belgium, he was eventually sold to Villarreal in 2017 for £12 million. Only Real Madrid's Karim Benzema has scored more goals in La Liga this season than he has since joining Getafe in 2020.
According to reports in Portugal this week, Liverpool is interested in Braga defender David Carmo. The 22-year-old has made 14 appearances for his club this season, despite missing a significant portion of the campaign due to injury.
According to O Jogo, the defender is expected to leave the club in the summer, despite the fact that he is under contract until 2025. It goes on to say that he has been'sounded out' by a number of Premier League clubs, with Liverpool among those keeping a close eye on him.
However, Jurgen Klopp currently has a number of talented center backs at his disposal in Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, Ibrahima Konate, and Joe Gomez. Liverpool will almost certainly need to make a departure in order to enter the market for defensive reinforcements.
Liverpool striker Divock Origi is closing in on a move to AC Milan, but his future is heavily dependent on the success of the Serie A club's proposed takeover.
According to journalist Miguel Delaney's Reading The Game newsletter, the 27-year-old has a 'provisional' contract with the Rossoneri, but nothing has been signed and a deal could be contingent on the takeover going through.
According to reports this week, Milan are on the verge of being purchased by Bahrain-based asset manager Investcorp.
