Liverpool transfer headlines: No Liverpool in Locatelli pursuit, Saul moves closer to UK switch, Neuhaus transfer blow.
Locatelli not happening
Liverpool are said to not be in the run to sign Manuel Locatelli from Sassuolo.
The Italian midfielder has been associated with the number of clubs including Arsenal and Juventus and it does really seem like the Italian side will win the race finally.
Juventus vice president Pavel Nedved: “We’re in talks with Sassuolo to sign Locatelli. We’re convinced we made the right bid to reach an agreement, we’re really confident to complete the deal as soon as possible”. ⚪️⚫️ #Locatelli

To be clear. Liverpool are NOT in the race. #LFC
Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano established that the Merseyside team would not be signing the midfielder.
‘To be clear. Liverpool are NOT in the race,’ he wrote on Twitter.
Saul moves closer to UK move
However one midfielder that could be moving to Liverpool is Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez.
According to a report in The Mirror, the representatives of the Spanish midfielder are presumed to fly to the UK on Monday to discuss terms for one of the interested parties to agree a deal for the Spaniard.

Liverpool and Manchester United are associated with the player and could both do with the additional quality in their midfield.
Liverpool lost Wijnaldum to PSG whilst Man United could yet lose Paul Pogba to the same side.
Neuhaus blow
Yet one player not presumed to make the move to Liverpool is Borussia Monchengladbach man Florian Neuhaus.
The German international has had a cosmic time with Marco Rose’s side, but with the now Dortmund coach gone much of the squad’s future is less assured.
Denis Zakaria has told the club he wishes to bequeath as one example.
