Key Highlights :
Liverpool have enjoyed a promising start to the transfer window, having already wrapped up a deal for Alexis Mac Allister. The Reds' rivals, however, have since started to make moves in the market as Arsenal look to secure a deal for Declan Rice, while Chelsea are set to undergo a major squad rebuild after a disastrous Premier League campaign. In this article, we will be taking a look at the latest transfer rumours surrounding Liverpool's rivals, as they look to add to their squads in the coming weeks.
Erik ten Hag's side have seen a third bid for Mason Mount rejected by Chelsea, with the Blues having reportedly submitted a counter-proposal of £58m plus £7m in add-ons. Liverpool were strongly linked with the England international not long ago, though decided against submitting an official bid.
Manchester City are reportedly considering a late swoop for Napoli defender Kim Min-jae, who is seemingly Bayern Munich-bound. The South Korean centre-back impressed last season, winning the Serie A title, and it is believed City are plotting a possible hijack in order to secure his services.
Chelsea have agreed a transfer fee with Villarreal for Nicolas Jackson, with the two clubs reportedly having agreed a fee in the region of £30million. The forward scored 13 times for Villarreal last season, and is expected to complete the formalities of his transfer this weekend.
Tottenham have added Liverpool target Micky van de Ven to their centre-back shortlist. The Wolfsburg defender is a player of interest to the Reds, though Spurs are also keen on the Dutchman. Talks are believed to have already taken place between the two parties.
The north London side are also said to be 'watching' Juventus defender Gleison Bremer, according to reports. The Brazilian centre-back has previously been linked with a move to Liverpool and the report claims the defender has 'other admirers' from the Premier League aside from Spurs.
It is set to be an exciting few weeks as Liverpool's rivals look to strengthen their squads in the transfer window. The Reds will be keen to keep an eye on their rivals' movements, as they look to stay ahead of the competition.
