There will be a lot of talk about transfers over the next week or so since Liverpool is now on winter break. The Premier League hasn’t stepped up its business yet, but with a little more than two weeks left in the window, things will start to happen. Time will tell if that’s at Anfield or not.

The Reds got off to a great start in 2024 by beating Fulham in the first game of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday. This put them one step closer to Wembley. In two weeks, the two sides will fight again.

Klopp’s team will have a short break before that, which I’m sure the Liverpool manager will enjoy right now. Trent Alexander-Arnold became the latest player to join Klopp’s list of injured players this week. The manager will be hoping to have some players back by the time his team plays Bournemouth on January 21.

He can look at possible transfers and see what Liverpool’s rivals are doing while he waits. It’s no surprise that Kylian Mbappé is back in the news, but Real Madrid could also be interested in Erling Haaland. Liverpool.com looks at the news from the other big clubs in the Premier League and Europe to see what’s going on at those teams.

Kylian Mbappé and Liverpool “never broke contact.”

L’Equipe says that Liverpool has never lost touch with Kylian Mbappé’s group. It looks like the 25-year-old is getting closer to leaving Paris Saint-Germain. The story says he is leaning toward leaving the French city.

Real Madrid looks like they are the favorites to sign Mbappé, but Liverpool is still being mentioned. L’Equipe says the World Cup winner hasn’t forgotten how hard the Reds tried to sign him when he was at Monaco. It is also said that Mbappé likes Jürgen Klopp.

Real Madrid is “looking into” Erling Haaland’s plan

AS says that Real Madrid is “studying” Erling Haaland as an option for Mbappé. Says one source that Spain is still waiting to hear from the PSG star about whether he wants to sign with Real Madrid.

Should Mbappé not move to the big club in La Liga? Haaland could be the next place it goes after. According to a story from Spain, Real is considering the City forward as a backup plan.
