KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum January Transfer Rumours

It would be silly if we consider any offers being less than that of last summer.

Nowadays the market goes crazy and even Lemar worth 92M. Phil has proven himself in top level and he is one of the icon of Brazil. He signed a long contract with us and unless there is major setbacks in his career, I cant see his valuation falling.

Furthermore, there are rumours that Real Madrid and PSG want to join the race in Phil. If Barca doesnt have the money and Pjil really want to go, we can simply contact with other buyers.

Hopefully Phil can stay with us for one or two more season before he goes with 150M or above.

Interests in Subotic again. It seems that since Klopp joined us, he was linked to us in every single transfer windows.

I expect someone better as an option for CB. However, if we can get De Vrij on a free next summer, I am okay to sign Subotic as a short term back up plan.

Javier Mascherano has been linked with a surprise return to Liverpool in the summer – thanks to Lionel Messi.

Mascherano was hugely popular during three-and-a-half years at Anfield before moving to Barcelona in August 2010.

The Argentina international was converted from central midfielder to centre-back and has won a host of honours with the Catalans, including four La Liga titles and the Champions League twice.

However, Mascherano is no longer a first-team regular as new boss Ernesto Valverde looks to mould a new generation at Camp Nou.

The 33-year-old is under contract at Barcelona until 2019 but will be allowed to leave on a free transfer in the summer.

And according to Diario Gol, Messi – who counts Mascherano among his closest friends at Camp Nou – believes his fellow Argentine is set for pastures new.

The report also states both Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing Mascherano but suggests he could make a surprise return to Liverpool.

VvD and Masc in January would be interesting. Masc is getting on but could do a job for us till next summer. However if it's only going to happen next summer then I think we should be building a defence that's more likely to last and solidify.

He's not a bad CB either Herc,compared to what we've got.

Yeah, compared to what we've got he's a bloody gem.

I'd prefer to have him in his proper position which is defensive/holding midfield.

Oh yeh without a doubt,his versatility would be handy though.

His biggest asset for us was his ability to get around the pitch quickly and make tackles, I wonder if he still has that in him? I always thought he was wasted as a centre half.

If Masch is half as good as he was then he could do well for us but he is getting on so if there is a younger similar option it might be best to move on,tempting though.
