Unexpected Curtis Jones interest
Inter Milan are reportedly weighing up an unexpected approach for Jones. Give Me Sport claims the Italian giants are in discussions with the Reds about taking the England midfielder on loan with an obligation to purchase included.
Inter are exploring their possibilities with Davide Frattesi strongly linked with a switch to Nottingham Forest. Nevertheless, the Liverpool Echo understands the Merseysiders have no intention of sanctioning any departures from Slot's squad this month.
This season, Jones has clocked up 29 appearances across all competitions, providing one assist. His versatility has been tested this season, with him taking on various roles in central midfield and even stepping in as a right-back on occasion.
Liverpool eye Real Madrid star
Liverpool are reportedly mulling over a move for Real Madrid's Eduardo Camavinga. The adaptable Frenchman has had a mixed run in the starting line-up at the Bernabeu since his arrival.
CaughtOffside reports that Camavinga is now on Liverpool's radar. Given Liverpool's injury woes, his ability to play both left-back and centre-midfield makes him an attractive prospect.
However, it's believed he could command a fee of around £90m, reflecting his value to Alvaro Arbeloa's team. Camavinga has previously been linked with Arsenal, but a move to north London has never seemed imminent.
Premier League player dreams of Liverpool move
Brighton and Hove Albion's Brajan Gruda has revealed his ambition to play for Liverpool. The German Under-21s international has been a standout performer for the Seagulls this season.
He has showcased his talent with some impressive displays, notably in Brighton's 2-1 home win against City at the start of the season, where he netted the decisive goal. However, he confessed to Sky Germany that his dream is to don the Reds' jersey at Anfield.
"My biggest dream is to play in the Champions League and be a full international. I want to play for a top club like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, or Liverpool."
