The French superstar is a player who is openly admired by Jurgen Klopp, but Liverpool have always been unable to put together the finances required to reach such a deal. Nevertheless, he's consistently linked with the club and 2024 has started the way other years have ended, with a report in France claiming Liverpool are weighing up a summer bid.

Borussia Monchengladbach defender Ko Itakura is the latest player to be linked with a move to Liverpool. Meanwhile, the Reds have made a decision on Owen Beck's loan at Dundee FC, following the spate of left-back injury issues.
