Liverpool fans are passionately calling out for a new midfielder and now reports in Spain have claimed that we have made an offer for Frenkie de Jong.
As reported by Forbes: ‘Liverpool have made an offer to FC Barcelona to sign their midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
‘This has been reported by Spanish transfer news outlet Futbol Total, who have confirmed claims made by Liverpool fan account Talk of the Kop on Wednesday afternoon.
‘According to the source, the Premier League giants have tabled a bid for the Dutchman that would see them hand over an initial £53mn ($62.5mn) for his services and a further £7mn ($8.25mn) in variables totaling around €71mn ($70mn)’.
This could be a very exciting deal for our supporters to hear and, on paper, it does make more sense for the Barcelona man to favour a move to Anfield at the moment.
Interest from Manchester United and Chelsea looks to have not interested the Dutchman too much, as he is set to favour the chance to stay and fight for his place at the Nou Camp.

With their president Joan Laporta’s questionable financial decisions and motives of late though, with public disputes over deferred and reduced wages between both parties, this could be a deal that is now more likely to happen.
If the 25-year-old is ready to cut ties with a club that looks to not be treating him very well of late, then why not make a move to Jurgen Klopp’s side?
That means this would all make sense from the player and his parent club’s point of view, the last party is ourselves though and that is possibly the biggest stumbling for this deal.
Whether FSG are ready and able to finance a deal worth around £60 million is unknown but to get a player of this talent and age bracket, does seem to feel like in their model of prior deals made.
We’ll have to wait and see what happens with this one but there will be many getting excited about the idea of it happening.

This is rubbish. The Forbes guy got it from Futbol Total who got it from Talk of the Kop, which is one guy who just makes stuff up on twitter.
Would love to have De Jong in our squad.
I felt all summer that De Jong would be an ideal player for Liverpool and now after their start I am convinced. It would give them a quality player who is still young and give the club a lift when they most need it. They seem thin in mid field this season due to injuries etc. And what a coup to steel from under Utd’s noses, certainly pay back for the defeat.
just another fan hoping for a cm this window i think the squad we have is what we got and no new players until at least January at least and when the injured players come back the squad is good enough and bringing another in to sit on the bench when the boys come back is not the answer
This would be awesome! Liverpool would boast of arguably best midfield trio in European football (Thiago, Fabinho and De Jong). Then Henderson, Jones and Calvalho can be decent back ups . Sell keita and Ox to free up space.
So Milner, Elliot ,Henderson , Keita and Ox are going to play a ahead of De Jong?
This is a great chance to rejuvenate the midfield with exciting talent like De jong it should ve been the right choice at the right time
