Liverpool transfer news as journalist confirms interest in €100m Premier League player

Liverpool are expected to make a few changes to their squad during the upcoming transfer windows. Earlier today, James Pearce claimed that the Reds aren't expected to sign a defender in January or next summer as they are well covered in that position.

Whether or not that is the case remains to be seen, especially with Virgil van Dijk's future hanging in the balance. And now, Florian Plettenberg reports that Liverpool are interested in signing Luka Vuskovic, who has taken the Premier League by storm since his move to Brighton.

However, his dream is to join Real Madrid one day." Honestly, if his dream is to play for Real Madrid, Liverpool are better off letting this one be as opposed to being his transition club between Brighton and the Spanish giants.
