Could Rakitic leave?

It is a well-known fact that Liverpool have a lot of money to spare after the sale of Coutinho. What is also known is that they are missing a player of his calibre as they didn’t sign anyone to replace the Brazilian.

As a result, they might be looking into La Liga for a creative midfielder. And Don Balon believe that the Merseyside outfit are targeting Barcelona star Ivan Rakitic, who is also being eyed by Juventus.

Meanwhile, if reports from The Sun are to be believed then Liverpool are about to win the race to sign Deportivo La Coruna forward Pinchi, who is out of contract by the end of the season but is also wanted by Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

Finally, after cooling down interest on Thomas Lemar, Mirror say that Liverpool have shifted their attention towards Bayer Leverkusen’s Leon Bailey, who is valued at £100 million by the club.
