Sunday's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup: Mohamed Salah, Ismaila Sarr, Patson Daka

Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Liverpool on Sunday, September 13.

The summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Liverpool eye possible reinforcements.

Jurgen Klopp's champions have not been particularly busy during recent windows, but that has not stopped the rumour mill from linking them with additions.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Anfield.

Barcelona are reportedly eyeing up a shock move for Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah during the transfer window.

With Ronald Koeman now in charge at Camp Nou, the former Netherlands manager is expected to oversee a significant overhaul of his squad after replacing Quique Setien.

The Catalan giants have already been linked with a swoop for one Liverpool man in the form of Georginio Wijnaldum, and according to Ajax's record appearance holder Sjaak Swart, Salah is also on Koeman's wishlist.

Speaking to website voetbalzone.nl, Swart said: "I know Koeman wants him – and I know Salah would like to go,"

However, the 82-year-old was reluctant to reveal his source of the information, simply responding with: "I can't. I am not going into any more details, but just believe me that I know."

Salah netted a hat-trick in Liverpool's first game back as the reigning champions defeated Norwich City 4-3 in an opening-day thriller at Anfield.

The 28-year-old has chalked up a total of 97 goals in 154 games for Jurgen Klopp's side in all competitions since his arrival.



Liverpool 'laying groundwork to sign Ismaila Sarr in January'

Liverpool may reportedly wait until January to push through a deal for Watford winger Ismaila Sarr.

With Jurgen Klopp keen to add another winger to his first-team squad, Sarr has been identified as a realistic option due to his club's relegation from the Premier League.

The Hornets are said to be demanding a fee in the region of £40m for a player who contributed six goals and six assists from 30 appearances last season.

However, according to Football Insider, Liverpool are not prepared to spend that amount of money on one player before the end of the summer window.

Instead, the report suggests that the Merseyside giants are 'laying the groundwork' to sign the Senegal international at the beginning of 2021.

Although the 22-year-old has a contract at Vicarage Road until 2024, Watford are thought to be prepared to cash in on their most prized asset.
