Liverpool Transfer news Today: Mo Salah DECLARATION, MASSIVE £245m Luis Diaz deal

Here's all your latest Liverpool transfer news.

Ricci exclusive

Anfield Watch understands one of the possible alternative candidates to Zubimendi that has been identified by the club is Samuele Ricci. Club scouts have been very impressed by the Italian midfielder's numbers and see him as an ideal alternative option to Zubimendi.

Back in the summer, Liverpool made contact with Torino in order to enquire about Ricci but were discouraged by the €60m asking price.

However, the club continues to monitor the 23-year-old and could return with another enquiry for his services should attempts to persuade Zubimendi fail a second time around as well.

Luis Diaz at centre of MASSIVE £245m deal

Luis Diaz has found himself at the centre of an enormous deal. The Liverpool winger reportedly rejected a new contract in recent weeks.

The Financial Times reports that a massive merger is happening among football agencies. Four groups representing players have combined to form AS1.

AS1 immediately finds itself as one of the top 10 agencies in world football, at least according to Bruin Capital. They're backing this deal, which creates a company worth around £245m.

Transfermarkt valuations suggest this agency will now represent players worth around £600m in combined value. And arguably their top asset is currently playing at Liverpool.

Only three players are mentioned in the FT article: Bruno Fernandes, Moises Caicedo and Luis Diaz. The latter is one of the most in-form players across Europe and likely AS1's most valuable player.

Billionaire owner FINALLY addresses Mo Salah deal

Over the last few years, Mohamed Salah has been heavily linked with a move to Paris Saint Germain, even as recently as last week there were talks that he could join the French side upon the expiry of his deal at Liverpool.

However, it seems that those reports might not have had much weight.

PSG's billionaire owner has now finally spoken out about the club's potential move for Salah and while it does not look good for the Egyptian it bodes well for Liverpool.

PSG President and QSi (owners of PSG with a net worth thought to be around $338 billion according to GOAL) chairman Al-Khelaifi spoke to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany and addressed rumours about a potential move for Salah.

“It’s not true. He’s a fantastic and amazing player, but we’ve never considered him, to be honest," he said.

"We know every club would love to have him, but this rumour about us is simply not true.”
