Liverpool will hope to get the better of their fierce rivals Manchester United as the two Premier League giants go head to head to land the signature of Atletico Madrid star midfielder Saul Niguez.
The Spanish international has been linked with a move away from the La Liga holders in this summer’s transfer window and a move to the Premier League has been understood to be on the cards for the player.
Reports from The Mirror claim that the agents of the 26-year-old Saul will be taking the flight to England on Monday and will be touching base with the player’s suitors Manchester United and Liverpool for talks over a potential move.
Liverpool have been backed to use the ongoing transfer window to bring in fresh blood for their midfield department at Anfield in light of the long-serving Gini Wijnaldum departing Merseyside to sign for Ligue 1 heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain.
Wijnaldum’s exit leaves Klopp with a major vacancy to fill before the transfer window slams shut and Saul has been one of the names that the Liverpool boss has eyed up in a move that could set back the Merseysiders by £40 million.
