Liverpool are working on two astute deals as a shock Divock Origi move nears, Tottenham are nearing a eye-catching signing from Juventus, while the final Euro Paper Talk of 2021 has news of three huge signings at Newcastle United.
GINTER DEAL ON FOR LIVERPOOL
Liverpool are understood to be leading the chase for Borussia Monchengladbach’s versatile star Matthias Ginter.
The Germany international has decided he’s leading Gladbach as a free agent in the summer – and demand for him is high.
The 27-year-old is at the peak of his powers and has no shortage of admirers.
Reports in Italy claim Ginter has an offer from Inter Milan; however FC Inter News claims Liverpool are also sniffing around a deal.
Inter have reportedly proposed a four-year deal worth €3m a season, which equates to around £48,000 a week.
And with finances tight at Inter, there is a growing feeling that Liverpool will act clever and comfortably gazump them for Ginter.
Indeed, he’s not the only Gladbach player Liverpool are chasing. Indeed, they’re also keen on his teammate Denis Zakaria, who is also moving on a free transfer next summer.
Whether Liverpool land the Swiss remains to be seen though, with Arsenal also keen.
Juventus fancy Origi move
However, the capture of Ginter is seen as more doable and his signing will likely see Nat Phillips depart.
The defender, rarely used this season by Liverpool, is a target for West Ham. However, while the Hammers want a January deal, Liverpool would seemingly prefer to wait until the summer when Ginter can sign.
In the meantime, Liverpool can also boost their transfer kitty by selling Divock Origi.
As such, Gazzetta dello Sport claims Juventus are ready to make an Origi move their January priority.
The Italian paper names Origi as the replacement for Alvaro Morata, who appears likely to sign for Barcelona.
Any move for Origi though will likely be delayed for as late in the January window as possible. The striker is likely to play an important role over the next few weeks in the absence of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
The pair are heading to AFCON leaving Liverpool light in attack. And while the Reds are open to his sale, any exit will be left as late as possible in the month.
