With that in mind, here is Saturday’s Anfield-related transfer round-up...
Tielemans “would be interested”

Speaking to Football Insider, he said:“He has craft in his game.
“It is one of them, he is there with a year left on his contract. If the opportunity came about, could it happen?
“I’m sure Tielemans would be interested in a move to Liverpool.

“He could also add goals to that side. He would give Liverpool another dimension, if was he to go to Anfield.”
Liverpool linked with Brozovic
According to Fichajes, Liverpool have been “closely following” the situation of Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic for some time, and could table an offer for the player “soon”.
The Croatian international only recently renewed in Italy, but it is understood that the Reds are undeterred by this development, and regard the 29-year-old as a potential replacement for the injured Thiago Alcántara.

Pino could be Arsenal-bound
Liverpool-linked Villarreal winger Yeremy Pino could be on his way to Arsenal amid suggestions that the Spanish outfit may accept a bid from the Gunners.
According to 90min, Unai Emery’s side have received an offer of around £33 million for the precocious teenage talent, and could sanction his exit in the coming weeks.
At this stage, there is no indication that Liverpool will respond with a proposal of their own.
