Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Pulisic bid claim, Ramsey decision made, Vida wants move
Saturday 4 August
Cillessen latest
Chelsea and Liverpool have been handed a boost as they consider bids for Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen.
Both Premier League sides have been linked with the Barcelona outcast this summer.
Chelsea are looking for a new No 1 with Thibaut Courtois expected to join Real Madrid.
Liverpool may sell both Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius so would need a back up for Alisson.
And Barca boss Ernesto Valverde admits Cillessen is likely to leave this summer.
When asked about his leaving the Barca boss said: “The truth that is quite close, tomorrow will have to play.
“I can not imagine another situation ahead of time. But I do not have a key to anything.”
Liverpool latest
Liverpool have no interest in Aaron Ramsey and are prioritising sales in the final days of the transfer window.
Liverpool were in the hunt for a forward with Nabil Fekir and Christian Pulisic linked but those deals are now dead.
David Maddock of the Mirror tweeted: “No #LFC interest in Aaron Ramsey - no chance of any further Liverpool signings before window closes. Reds will concentrate on outgoings, Mignolet, Origi, Ojo, Grujic could all go, some on loan. Danny Ings will also depart next week - though Palace not favourites.”
Christian Pulisic bid
Liverpool have bid for Christian Pulisic in the past, according to James Pearce.
Peace told the Liverpool Echo: “Klopp’s admiration for Pulisic is well known.
Vida wants move
Domagoj Vida is determined to leave Besiktas for Liverpool before next week's transfer deadline.
Milliyet stay the Croatia international is keen to move despite having offers from other Premier League teams.
Everton and Wolves both want the 29-year-old, who impressed at the World Cup earlier this summer.
But whether Liverpool, who have held informal talks with Besiktas, submit a formal bid for Vida remains to be seen.
Ramsey decision made
Liverpool will not be signing Aaron Ramsey from Arsenal this summer.
That's according to Liverpool Echo journalist James Pearce, who said: "Not aware of any interest in Ramsey.
"There’s bound to be a lot of speculation about him as he’s down to the final year of his contract but Liverpool are currently well stocked in that department."
Chelsea are understood to be interested in Ramsey, who may leave for £30million.
Klopp on pressure
Liverpool have spent big this summer and many fans and pundits are tipping them for the Premier League title.
However, Jurgen Klopp is unfazed, saying: "We have not bought a team whilst the others have sold theirs, it is not like this.
"We don't have a free way to go to the championship, it will be really hard.
"They are still there, but we have improved our position for us. What it means for the league we will see."
