NEWS NEWS BLOG SPORT brings you the latest news and from Anfield.

 

Liverpool are ready to make a move for Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, according to reports.

Spanish outlet Fichajes claim Jurgen Klopp is keen to replace current goalkeeper Simon Mignolet with the German shot stopper. 

Ter Stegen has a release clause of £56.8million but Barca could be tempted to sell for a smaller amount.

The German is second choice at the Spanish giants, and has been an unused substitute in eight of Barca's last 10 matches in all competitions.

 

Liverpool are also interested in signing Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich, according to SportBild.

Although the move is unlikely, the German paper have named Liverpool as the most likely location for Lewandowski if he does leave the Allianz Arena due to his links with Klopp.

Liverpool have the funds in place to buy Lewandowski and have a plan to lure him to Anfield in the coming years.

Klopp worked with the striker at Borussia Dortmund - but he has insisted that he will not be trying to sign any of his former players.

Tiago Ilori could be making an early return to Liverpool

Tiago Ilori could return to Liverpool after failing to make an impact since his summer loan to Aston Villa.

His future lies in the hands of Villa's new boss Remi Garde according to the Liverpool Echo.

The Portuguese centre-back, who has been hampered by an ankle injury in recent weeks, has yet to make a single first team appearance for Villa and has only played once for their U21s against Brighton.

Liverpool received a £1m loan fee for Ilori on deadline day in September with Villa negotiating the option to make the move permanent at the end of the season.
