Liverpool are said to hold no interest in signing Barcelona midfielder Franck Kessie amid reports that the Ivorian midfielder was on their shortlist for the upcoming summer transfer window.
Jurgen Klopp is out to bolster his midfield ranks before the next season gets underway and with Brighton star Alexis Mac Allister’s move to Anfield imminent, the Liverpool manager will have his sights on other midfield targets.
Barcelona man Kessie was rumoured to be one of the names under consideration at Anfield but a report from The Athletic has played down speculation of Liverpool being keen to table a £30 million bid for the Ivory Coast international.
Kessie has been linked with a move away from Camp Nou when the transfer window reopens for business this month with the ex-AC Milan maestro struggling to cement his berth on the team sheet for the La Liga champions.
Bayern Munich first-team outcast Ryan Gravenberch, Nice’s Khephren Thuram, Southampton starlet Romeo Lavia and Borussia Monchengladbach’s Manu Kone are claimed to be the targets on Liverpool’s wish list for the summer.
