A 2-0 loss to Newcastle United this weekend may have slammed the brakes on Liverpool‘s Premier League title run, but with the January transfer window approaching there are plenty of talents for manager Jurgen Klopp to scoop up. From wonderkid talents to experienced veterans like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Liverpool can make some serious noise in the second half of the season if they’re willing to spend the necessary cash.
Here is the Liverpool transfer roundup for Monday:
Borussia Dortmund reunion could be on hold
One of Jurgen Klopp’s biggest moves during his tenure at Dortmund was acquiring Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. But his tremendous success with the club could prevent Klopp from picking him up in the transfer window.
According to TMW, PSG have targeted him as a replacement for Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Man United and Arsenal have also been pegged as possible destinations.
€25m Rossi move
The Reds are considering a €25 million move for Fiorentina and Italian scoring machine Giuseppe Rossi in the January transfer window. The 28-year-old striker missed all of last season with an injury.[Source: Football Italia]
Rossi scored 16 goals in 21 Serie A appearances in the 2013-14 season.
Marko Grujic latest
Red Star Belgrade midfielder Marko Grujic has drawn interest from Liverpool, along with Man City and Man United. Although Liverpool are believed to have the most interest out of any Premier League club, it appears as though they will lose his signature to Stuttgart. [Source: Daily Mail]
