Berardi linked
Domenico Berardi is leading the charge for Italy after their very impressive start to the Euros.
Playing on the right of a very dangerous front three, 26-year-old Berardi has really caught the eye with his pace and penetration in attack.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, as translated by Football Italia, Liverpool and Spurs are keeping an eye on him with possible bids being prepared.
Caught Offside claim that reports indicate a fee of around €50million would be enough to secure his services.
Tsimikas 'will be allowed to leave'
Liverpool signed Kostas Tsimikas from Olympiacos last summer as a back-up option for Andy Robertson.
The Greece international has found game time hard to come by, with just seven appearances for the Reds so far.
And now Fabrizio Romano has been cited as saying:
“Let’s see what happens with Tsimikas. He can leave the club."
McGinn 'eyed' by Liverpool and United
Liverpool have reportedly joined Manchester United in the race for Aston Villa and Scotland star John McGinn.
That is according to Not The Old Firm, who claim the midfielder on a list of transfer targets for Manchester United and now Liverpool are taking notice.
The report goes on to claim that it would take £50 million would be enough to take McGinn away from Aston Villa, who he joined in 2018 from Hibs.
Liverpool have lost midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum to PSG and are currently being linked with a host of midfielders as a result.
United make fresh Sancho bid
The Manchester Evening News is reporting that Manchester United have submitted an improved second offer for the Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho.
United were knocked back with their opening bid of £67million plus £8million in add-ons last week, but have returned to the German club with a revised offer, understood to be worth more than £75million.
The new offer would see United pay a higher amount up front, with the rest of the fee in achievable add-ons. Dortmund are considering the offer but reportedly value Sancho at more than £80million.
Liverpool have been linked with Sancho over the past year, with one report claiming back in October that the winger prefered a move to Anfield to Old Trafford.
Liverpool urged to sign Sweden star
Former Liverpool star Jose Enrique has urged the Reds to sign Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad this summer.
Reports suggest the 21-year-old, who's also been linked with Arsenal, has a release clause with the Spanish side of around £60m, and Enrique believes he could well be a worthwhile alternative to other high-profile targets.
Taking to his official Instagram, the former left-back wrote: "I know him very well because he play for Real Sociedad. He is a top player definitely I will sign him and is really young so hopefully we can go for him if we can't go for Haaland or someone like that."
Neuhaus blow
Liverpool have learned they have next to no chance of signing the man that sporting director Michael Edwards had earmarked as the club’s No 1 target to replace Gini Wijnaldum.
So say Team Talk who cite Bild's chief reporter Tobi Altschaffl as being adamant that Florian Neuhaus will not be sold.
He reports to having “had a good chat with the new Gladbach coach Adi Hutter” and there is an inclination that “Neuhaus will stay for at least another year at Monchengladbach."
Kane could help Liverpool in Mbappe approach
Tottenham duo Daniel Levy and Harry Kane could reportedly help Liverpool land Kylian Mbappe transfer.
That is according to the Express, who are reporting Kane is attracting interest from Paris Saint-Germain as the forward is believed to be Pochettino’s preferred targets to lead the line in Paris.
As a result, if Mbappe opts against signing a new contract in the next month then Pochettino and his Paris bosses will make an approach for the England striker.
The report also claims PSG are confident of signing a world-class replacement will they begin to listen to offers for Mbappe, leaving Liverpool’s hopes of signing Mbappe hinging on Kane and Levy.
