The Athletic‘s David Ornstein has reported that the Reds have talked with the player, but insists that a deal remains “complicated” at this stage. Newcastle are also thought to be in the race for the 22-year-old, the age of seemingly all our transfer targets at the moment, but Liverpool look to be firmly in the hunt!
