Transfer rumours: Liverpool to sign Dortmund star; Man Utd to keep Martial as Ronaldo’s future uncertain

Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool are still in contact regarding midfielder Jude Bellingham, who the Reds are confident will sign next summer but who they may persuade to move in January.

Anthony Martial of Manchester United has drawn interest from Juventus. However, due to the uncertainty surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo’s future, Martial will not be permitted to leave Old Trafford this summer.

Red Bull Salzburg striker Benjamin Sesko’s agent and United have spoken, but they are unlikely to pursue a deal given his £55 million price tag.

Lionel Messi’s potential return to Barcelona has received the public support of manager Xavi. The veteran forward’s PSG contract, which also includes a year-long option, has 12 months left on it.

If Roberto Firmino leaves, Jurgen Klopp would be willing to sign a striker despite his desire to avoid making any other significant signings this season. Lautaro Martinez, an Inter hitman, is his top choice to replace the Brazilian.

Additionally, negotiations are underway for Marcos Leonardo, a young Santos player who has been dubbed “the next Neymar,” to transfer to Anfield.
