Real Madrid assistant manager refuses to rule out Militao exit

Real Madrid defender Eder Militao is currently out of favour at the club and has been linked with a move to Liverpool. The Spanish champions are currently open to letting Militao leave on a short loan until the end of the season, which will suit Liverpool.

Real Madrid assistant coach Davide Bettoni has said anything can happen until the window closes.

“As the boss [Zinedine Zidane] always says, until February 1st, anything could happen. Right now we have a squad, we’re happy with the players, and then we’ll see," said Bettoni.

Manager Jurgen Klopp has already said the club are looking for short-term options and Militao could be the ideal solution to Liverpool's problems.

Liverpool monitoring Torino centre-back

Liverpool were linked with a move for Tornio centre-back Gleison Bremer towards the end of last year. As per the Athletic, Liverpool’s recruitment staff have been monitoring Bremer, but are yet to approach the Serie A side.

Bremer is still only 23 and has done well for Tornio this season, and he is likely to be a long-term option for Liverpool given his age. Time is running out, though, and the Reds will have to make a successful bid before the end of the window.

West Ham United’s asking price for Issa Diop revealed

West Ham’s Issa Diop has been linked with a move to Liverpool. However, the Hammers will only let him go on loan if Liverpool agree to a clause that would make the move permanent in the summer. The fee being mentioned, as per The Athletic, would be somewhere around £20 million, which is a steep price for Diop.

Diop has failed to get into the West Ham lineup on a regular basis. He is currently behind the likes of Angelo Ogbonna, Craig Dawson, and Fabian Balbuena in the pecking order at the club. The 24-year old also hasn’t played much football this season.
