Tielemans rejects move talk & old Brighton rumour resurfaces – Liverpool FC Roundup

June 15, 2021
This Is Anfield

Liverpool transfer rumours continue to come thick and fast and perhaps we’re starting to see the more realistic names and targets emerge now.

Tielemans focused on Euros, not transfers

The Reds have been widely linked with Youri Tielemans since it became apparent that Gini Wijnaldum would be leaving.

Our former No5 has now departed, signing for PSG, which means we’ll probably see a range of midfield options linked to Anfield between now and August.

The Leicester man has many of the traits which appeal, to Klopp and supporters alike, but he has made it clear his focus is just on Belgium and Euro 2020 for now – so no talk of a move…or of a new contract with the Foxes.

The latter means he’ll continue to be linked to an exit, with just two years left on his contract now.

Neuhaus, Tielemans, another name entirely? We’ll see how our midfield list pans out.
