Lyon defender Marcelo confirms Liverpool talks

Lyon centre-back Marcelo says that his agent held talks with Liverpool in January over a potential move.

Lyon centre-back Marcelo has revealed that his agent held talks with Liverpool in January over a potential switch to Anfield.

The Premier League champions were linked with a number of defenders during the winter window before Ben Davies and Ozan Kabak arrived from Preston North End and Schalke 04 respectively.

Marcelo has said that his representative had held discussions with Jurgen Klopp's side over a possible move to England, but the 33-year-old is determined to extend his deal with Lyon, which is due to expire this summer.

"I hope we will find a solution soon!" he told Canal+. "I feel good here; I feel that I can give more to Lyon. Over time, I hope that we will find a good solution. Liverpool? My agent spoke with them, but I feel good here. My dream is to win the championship with Lyon."

Marcelo has made 24 appearances for Les Gones during the 2020-21 campaign, while he has represented the French club on 152 occasions in all competitions since arriving from Besiktas in 2017.

Liverpool still have defensive problems with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip and Fabinho all currently on the sidelines.
