Liverpool could finally complete €50m deal + Liverpool set to bid £30m for 'unplayable' monster

In Tuesday's Liverpool Roundup, the Reds have been tipped to sign Jonathan David, Kostas Tsimikas will stay at Anfield and the Reds are in a strong position to sign Saul.

Jurgen Klopp could refuse to sell Xherdan Shaqiri in protest against FSG, claims Kevin Phillips.

Michael Edwards has made a name for himself by selling the likes of Dominic Solanke and yet selling Divock Origi for major cash will be his biggest accomplishment yet.

This week, Liverpool’s bid for Federico Chiesa was confirmed by Florian Plettenberg and after Chelsea also made an offer, it looks like the Blues are no longer interested.

The initial report from Repubblica did state that Juve consider Chiesa untouchable but as we have seen in the past, every player has his price and if FSG really did sanction a bid of €100m (£85m) for Chiesa, then it would be interesting to discover what price Juventus would sell the 23-year-old at.
