Liverpool news: The Reds miss out on wonderkid as Jurgen Klopp’s January transfer targets 

While Liverpool gets ready for its Premier League matchup with Manchester City at the top of the table on Saturday, some are letting their thoughts drift to the January transfer market.

The match between Liverpool and Manchester City on Saturday is perhaps the most important of the Premier League season thus far, and the outcome might have an effect on both teams’ preparations for the January transfer window.

After surrendering points at Chelsea the following week, reigning champions City enter the match with a one-point advantage at the top of the league. This implies that Liverpool, who had just defeated Brentford, can take the lead if they win.

The match’s referee has been selected, and regardless of Saturday’s outcome, there are still matters to be resolved prior to the January window. The most recent lines from surrounding Anfield are shown here.

Ref confirmed for the City against Liveepool game

On Saturday, Chris Kavanagh will be in charge of Liverpool’s away match against Manchester City. Although Kavanagh has previously run afoul of City manager Pep Guardiola, he has also found himself in the dock with Jurgen Klopp.

When Liverpool lost at home to Everton in the Merseyside Derby in 2021, he was the man in the centre. When the referee awarded the Toffees a penalty on that particular occasion, Klopp accused him of seeing “something all other people didn’t see.”

While everything was going on, Guardiola received a yellow card for criticising Kavanagh’s officiating during his team’s Carabao Cup loss to Newcastle. “I’m not sure how many fouls we committed, how many they committed, or how many yellow cards we received. However, occasionally the feelings are present, that much is certain,” he remarked following the match. “Honour the referees and their position. a yellow card that was warranted.”

January transfer targets

Liverpool made a lot of moves during the summer transfer window, even though some of them had to be carried out. Due to injuries to multiple midfield players, Klopp was obliged to make additions, one of which being Ryan Gravenberch, who was signed on deadline day.

During the winter season, there can be greater reasons to invest. While Liverpool is a strong contender for the Premier League crown, playing in the Europa League’s knockout round will undoubtedly have its own set of requirements.

Wonderkid headed elsewhere

One celebrity who doesn’t appear to be headed to Anfield is Gianluca Prestianni. Although Chelsea and Liverpool, two Premier League opponents, have been linked to the Argentine wonderkid, Benfica seems to have emerged victorious.

According to Portuguese publication O Jogo (via Sport Witness), the Lisbon team is willing to spend €8 million for the Velez young player. When the player turns 18 at the end of January, the agreement is anticipated to become formal.

Prestianni is a winger who has participated in over 20 matches in Argentina’s top division. In a victory over league leaders River Plate in March, he not only got significant minutes but also scored his first goal as a senior.

Regarding Barcelona’s interest, Luis Diaz’s father speaks out

The father of Luis Daiz has commented on the rumours that the forward for Liverpool is connected to Barcelona.

Following their kidnapping, the Colombian winger’s parents gained notoriety among Liverpool supporters and the football community at large. After being freed from captivity a little more than a week ago, Diaz’s father witnessed his son score twice in an emotional victory over Brazil on Friday morning.

Due to his impressive performances, there have been surprising rumours that Barcelona is interested in signing the Liverpool forward. When questioned about the possibility of his son transferring to Barcelona in the future, Diaz’s father acknowledged that he has always been a fan of the Catalan giants.

“To be honest, I don’t know much about Barcelona right now,” Diaz Sr. said to Win Sports, according to Sport Witness. It’s true that Luis adores Barcelona, and visiting the city is his dream. I want to express my gratitude to Porto and Liverpool for their kind reception and welcome of him thus far.

“Thank God, Luis is a very disciplined player who is easy to like and respect because of the way he is, his work ethic, humility, and determination. Since Barcelona is a premier team and among the greatest in the world, there would be no issues if Luis joined.
