With the footballing world reeling from Jurgen Klopp’s shock decision to end the season, Liverpool must quickly turn their attention to matters on the pitch. United returned to FA Cup action against Championship side Norwich City on Sunday, securing a place in the last 16.
Klopp’s side have already qualified for Wembley once in the Carabao Cup and will be looking for another trip to complete the outgoing manager’s tenure. Many of the Premier League’s biggest players have left the competition and more will follow suit this weekend. Manchester City are top of the table after selling Tottenham Hotspur on Friday.

Currently with five points, Liverpool remain the team to catch up with. The title contenders may have been on to something of late, with Klopp proving last season that good deals can be done. Could a late finish change the title race? Here at Liverpool.com, we look to the Premier League and other big teams in Europe for news from other clubs.
Premier League trio consider Callum WilsonNewcastle are prepared to sell England striker Callum Wilson before the end of the January transfer window in order to comply with strict FFP rules. Wilson, 31, is injured but is considered a “marketable asset” by Newcastle.
Atletico Madrid have been linked with a surprise move for the forward in recent weeks, but Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are said to be “keeping a close eye”. The Standard reports that Newcastle are demanding $23 million for Wilson. Mikel Arteta has seen Arsenal struggle to score goals this month amid calls for a striker, while Chelsea are also limited in terms of central options.
Wilson, who moved to Newcastle from Bournemouth, has scored eight goals in all competitions this season. Real Madrid have opened the door to a move for Vinicius Junior. Real Madrid are ready to sign Vinicius Junior. Leave the club chasing Liverpool target Kylian Mbappe. The PSG superstar is out of contract at the end of the season and looks set to leave with nothing.
Liverpool continue to be linked with Mbappé, but Real are in pole position and that threatens Vinicius’ position at the Bernabeu. Spanish outlet Sport reports that Florentino Perez has decided to sack the Brazilian star despite his impressive performances.
Vinicius only signed a new contract last October but would be a “sacrifice” for Mbappe and is now a target for Manchester United, Sir Jim Ratcliffe pointed out in the summer.
However, the deal would not come cheap as Real would likely demand more than $165 million for the 23-year-old.Mbappe’s saga will continue for some time and Liverpool know that it will not be easy to sign him. Many said Real would struggle to include the Frenchman and Vinicius in the same starting line-up.
Perhaps Florentino Perez has already taken care of that! Real’s current number seven would be a great opportunity for anyone and there is no doubt that Manchester United will improve soon. Could Mbappe be an option for Liverpool if he moves to Madrid?
