Liverpool transfer news: One supposed Jürgen Klopp target is also being chased by Napoli while 'advanced' talks have been held over a move for Ryan Gravenberch.
Liverpool has six days remaining in which to get more transfer business done and the fact remains, at the time of writing, that there are gaps in the Reds' squad that really need to be filled.
Having seen a British-record sum ultimately not be enough to secure the signing of Moisés Caicedo, it is clear that FSG is willing to spend on the right player for Jürgen Klopp's squad.
The question is what happens if the 'perfect' signing is not secured. Wataru Endō shows Liverpool is prepared to alter its strategy to avoid taking a risk too many but a similar more short-term addition at the back might be required if someone with a higher long-term ceiling is not possible in the next few days.
Plenty of teams still have work to get done over the course of the next week or so and therefore it could be an interesting period in the Premier League.
Here is the Liverpool.com verdict on the transfer gossip to emerge around the Reds today, including another claim about Ryan Gravenberch, who is one of the more likely players to end up at Anfield.
Johan Bakayoko (PSV)
Dutch journalist Rik Elfrink, a PSV reporter for Eindhovens Dagblad, has claimed on Twitter that Liverpool and Napoli are also looking at winger Johan Bakayoko amid interest in the 20-year-old player from Burnley.
The price tag attached is said to be around $27m (£21m/€25m) to $33m (£26m/€30m). Liverpool, though, does not need more attacking reinforcements right now having signed Cody Gakpo from PSV in January.
Liverpool.com says: Bakayoko appears to be a player to watch in the future but the Reds simply have other priorities. Signing another forward now is just not on the agenda. Getting a defender very much should be.
Ryan Gravenberch (Bayern Munich)
A much more likely arrival before Friday's deadline, Bayern Munich's Ryan Gravenberch is a player very much worth watching out for despite him being a more box-to-box type rather than a defensively-minded player.
According to 90Min, Liverpool is in 'advanced' talks over a deal for Gravenberch, with the 21-year-old keen to move to the Premier League because of a lack of minutes in Germany. Manchester United is also interested.
Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich had not wanted to let Gravenberch go but that stance is said to be 'softening' thanks to Thomas Tuchel wanting to bring in another holding midfielder, for whom any funds generated could go towards.
Liverpool.com says: Gravenberch definitely seems to be a possibility for Liverpool before the transfer deadline. It would be a good signing in as much as if he is available and the Reds want him, it might be now or never, but unless he is joined by a defender, there would be big questions about whether Klopp's side might be taking a massive gamble.
