Liverpool returns to Europa League action on Thursday night as Atalanta makes the trip to Anfield. The Reds remain the favorites to go on and win the competition, with Jürgen Klopp’s final match in charge potentially being the final in Dublin in May.
Klopp will be eager for his side to bounce back from the disappointing draw at Old Trafford on Sunday, with Liverpool particularly wasteful in front of goal against Manchester United.
The search for his successor remains ongoing with Rúben Amorim the leading contender for the post. It has been claimed by Sky Germany that an agreement is already in place with the Portuguese but the process remains ongoing.
Despite the managerial uncertainty, Liverpool continues to be linked with summer transfer additions. There have also been reports this week that PSG is ready to move for Luis Díaz, who faces an uncertain future at Anfield.
Here is the Liverpool.com verdict on the transfer gossip to emerge around the Reds today, including another rival in the race for a Premier League defender as a Real Madrid teenager is linked.
Tosin Adarabioyo (Fulham)
Liverpool could face competition from West Ham in its reported pursuit of Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo. The 26-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and is yet to sign an extension.
Tottenham and AC Milan are both reportedly keeping tabs on Adarabioyo, with Liverpool also said to be interested. A new central defender is likely to be on the wish list for Liverpool’s next manager, with Joël Matip expected to depart on a free transfer this summer.
