Four Liverpool transfers hint at £103m release clause decision as 'decisive' date looms

The March international break is the final time Liverpool will enjoy a rest before the end of the season.

The Reds do not return to action until March 31, when they face Brighton in the Premier League clash at Anfield. Liverpool have ten top-flight fixtures remaining this season to try and beat Manchester City and Arsenal to the title.

Jurgen Klopp will be looking to win at least one more piece of silverware before he leaves the club in the summer. Liverpool are also in the quarter-final of the Europa League, where they will face Atalanta next month.

With Liverpool not in action for several more days, much of the attention is beginning to move towards the summer transfer window. As a result, the Reds are being credited with an interest in several potential new signings.

Joao Neves

Reports have claimed that Liverpool are showing an interest in signing Benfica midfielder Joao Neves.

According to Portuguese news outlet O Jogo, the Reds are one of several clubs weighing up a move for Neves. It has been claimed that Liverpool will face competition from Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain for the 19-year-old's signature.

The report states that Liverpool have identified the midfield as an area of the squad that needs reinforcements this summer. As a result, Neves has been mentioned as a potential target, with a €120 million (£103 million) release clause that Benfica are said to want to increase to €150 million (£129 million).
