Paper Talk: Liverpool find buyers for quartet as Real Madrid plot shock raid for star; Chelsea, Dortmund swap deal claim Liverpool look set to recoup around £55m in the sale of four players this summer, with three stars poised for La Liga, while Saturday’s transfer gossip suggests a swap between Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund is on the cards. REAL MADRID TO MOVE FOR NABY KEITA Liverpool could find their summer transfer kitty significantly boosted amid reports that buyers had been found for four unwanted players. The Reds are into the Champions League quarter-finals and now know their possible route to the final. Indeed, with Real Madrid lying in wait next, Jurgen Klopp has given his reaction to the draw. However, their Premier League form has fallen off a cliff. Just four wins since Christmas has seen the Reds tumble from the top four. They face a fight to secure their place among the European elite next season and a big rebuild has been suggested. While Klopp should have money to spend, his finances look set to get a further shoot in the arm. According to the Daily Express, Sevilla are lining up a £21m double bid for unwanted attackers Xherdan Shaqiri and Takumi Minamino. Japan star Minamino has never really settled at Anfield and is currently out on loan with Southampton. Shaqiri, meanwhile, has been afforded more chances this season. However, he’s never been considered a regular and could move on if the price is right. Another overseas import, Kostas Tsimikas, has also struggled to make an impact and appears to be on his way. Having cost £11.75m when signing from Olympiacos, the left-back was supposed to challenge Andy Robertson for his spot. However, the Greek has failed to impress Klopp and has made just six appearances. Reports in Italy claim an approach from Napoli is on the cards that could see the Reds recoup £8m of that investment. And finally, Spanish outlet Todo Fichajes claim Real Madrid are keen to sign Naby Keita this summer. Big things were expected of the Guinean when he arrived for £52.75m from RB Leipzig. Sadly though, injuries and a loss of form have failed to see Keita hit his best form. As such, it’s claimed he could be moved on were a decent offer come in for him. As per Fijaches, Real want to sign Keita to increase competition in their midfield and could tempt Liverpool with an opening £25m offer.
