It is that time of year again and the transfer reports are beginning to ramp up, so here’s a look at what’s been happening in both directions at the start of the window.
New midfielder on the radar
The transfer season is in full swing and we have a new name to get on board with already!
Liverpool have been credited with interest in 22-year-old midfielder Morten Frendrup, who has been described as the “best ball-winner in Serie A.”
The Liverpool Echo‘s Paul Gorst has written that the Reds will continue to “assess the development” of the Dane, who could provide a fresh option in the midfield engine.
Jurgen Klopp will be without a specialist defensive midfielder for at least the next four games, with Wataru Endo competing in the Asian Cup while Alexis Mac Allister works his way back towards full match fitness.
Frendrup currently plies his trade for Genoa, having only joined the Italian side from Brondby in 2022.
Whether this is something that could happen in the coming weeks or more of a long-term project remains to be seen, but it’s always fun to see a new name!
