Club Brugge defender Joel Ordonez has been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks. Chelsea and Liverpool have been mentioned as potential destinations. However, Bolavip are now reporting that Chelsea have pulled out of the deal to sign the 21-year-old. It seems that Liverpool are now front runners to get the deal done. It will be interesting to see if they can secure his signature in the coming weeks. It is no secret that they need a quality central defender.

Arne Slot had a phenomenal start to life at Liverpool, as he guided them to the Premier League title in his first season in charge. However, things haven't been that great for the Reds in the ongoing campaign. They haven't been consistent enough, and a lot of it is because of an unstable and inconsistent backline. As a result, they are ready to make a significant investment to reinforce their defence.

Alisson Becker: 7/10- A solid outing, making three saves against a Wolves side that the Brazilian likely did not expect to test him often. He perhaps could have been stronger with his initial punch on the ball that led to Wolves' rebound goal, but there was little he could have done to prevent the finish itself. Virgil van Dijk: 7/10- He won't have been pleased to see another clean sheet slip away, but it was an assured performance overall from van Dijk.

The race to sign RB Leipzig's highly rated winger Yan Diomande is gathering serious momentum, with the player's agent travelling to England to hold discussions with Premier League clubs over a potential transfer. According to a trusted source on X, the agent's primary purpose is to explore the terms Manchester United would be prepared to offer should they reach an agreement with Leipzig over a transfer fee.

The report notes: "Another option being monitored is Igor Thiago, who has impressed with his goalscoring exploits in the Premier League this season. "The attacker has scored 11 goals in 17 league appearances so far this season. "Liverpool see him as a stylistic fit, but Brentford are reluctant to part with one of their key players mid-season unless an extraordinary offer arrives."

According to a report from Fichajes, they have already opened talks with the Italian club regarding a move for the player. They are hoping to get the deal done for 20 million. The reported fee would be a bargain for a player of his quality. He has shown his ability in Italy, and he has the physicality to succeed in England as well.

Liverpool are looking at backup options in case they fail to land Antoine Semenyo in the January transfer window. That is according to a transfer insider, who has been on top of the Semenyo saga so far. As per him, the Reds have shortlisted former Manchester United flop, Memphis Depay as a short-term option to bring in during the January window. Depay currently plays for Brazilian club Corinthians, but a move to Liverpool would tempt him, with him being good friends with several Liverpool stars.
