Thursday morning's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup:

Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum has reportedly agreed personal terms with Barcelona ahead of a proposed move to Camp Nou this summer.
The 29-year-old's existing deal at Anfield is due to expire next June, and it is thought that talks over a possible extension with Jurgen Klopp's side are yet to take place.
A recent report claimed that new Barca boss Ronald Koeman had earmarked the Netherlands international as a leading target in the current window.
According to Sport, Wijnaldum has agreed terms on a three-year contract with the Catalan giants, who will now negotiate a transfer fee with the Premier League champions.
The report claims that the Dutchman could be allowed to leave for as little as £13m as he would be available on a pre-contract in January due to his current situation at Anfield.
Wijnaldum scored six times in 47 appearances for the Reds during the 2019-20 campaign.
Ronald Koeman 'views Georginio Wijnaldum as key signing in Barcelona rebuild'

Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman has reportedly identified Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum as a key part of his plans to rebuild the squad.
Wijnaldum has just one year remaining on his current contract at Anfield, and the Premier League champions are not thought to be considering offering him an extension at this stage.
Recent reports had suggested that the 29-year-old has already agreed personal terms with Barcelona, but those are understood to be wide of the mark.
Sky Sports News claims that new boss Koeman does see Wijnaldum as a pivotal member of his rebuilding project, though.
The Dutch boss is set to overhaul his squad after taking over at Camp Nou, with a number of the ageing first-team stars such as Arturo Vidal and Luis Suarez tipped to leave.
Koeman knows Wijnaldum from his time in charge of Netherlands, although the midfielder is thought to be open to the idea of staying at Liverpool if they offer him a new deal.
Jurgen Klopp's side have been heavily linked with a move for Bayern Munich's Thiago Alcantara this summer, casting more doubt over the long-term future of Wijnaldum.
