Summer transfer window was unique. See all major deals and see how we rated the largest signings. The window will close in January but that doesn't mean rumors won't continue to circulate. Here's the latest gossip and speculation.
TOP STORY: Reds go to Dembele with Chiesa
Liverpool may make a move to sign Ousmane Dembele. They hope to acquire the Barcelona star via a free transfer.
Team Talk claims that the Reds will approach the France international in January. He will still have six months on his current contract with Barcelona.
Jurgen Klopp's team was previously linked to Federico Chiesa. However, Fabrizio Romano revealed earlier Saturday that Juventus consider the Italy star untouchable, making it difficult to pursue.
Barcelona wanted to tie the 24-year old down to new terms but talks between Dembele, LaLiga and Barcelona have stalled. This has led to a queue of interest for Dembele, a winger who joined Camp Nou in 2017 for 135.5 million.
