Tuesday's Liverpool transfer rumours: Naby Keita, Sebastian Szymanski, Mamadou Sakho
Tuesday 25 July 2017 09:59, UK
The latest Liverpool transfer news and rumours from across the British and European press on Tuesday, July 25.
Liverpool have submitted a fresh £74m bid for RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita, according to the Daily Star.
The Bundesliga club's reluctance to deal with the Reds has seen them reject two bids for the Guinea international.
However, the Reds are determined to get their man and have lodged a revised bid to try and break Leipzig's resolve.
However, having seen their attempts to sign Keita rebuffed, The Times claim the Merseyside club are set to put their pursuit of Keita on hold until next summer.
If Liverpool do halt their pursuit of Keita, could Sebastian Szymanski provide a stopgap for Jurgen Klopp?
The Sun claim the Liverpool boss has been tracking the Legia Warsaw's teenage starlet for some time, although the Reds are yet to make a formal offer.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are standing firm on their valuation of Mamadou Sakho, reports the Daily Mirror.
Crystal Palace are keen to sign Sakho permanently after his successful six-month loan at Selhurst Park last season, but the Reds are reportedly holding out for £30m for the France international.
After Klopp's comments that Liverpool intend to sell Lazar Markovic, the Daily Mirror claim clubs across England are scrambling for the Serb's signature.
With his underwhelming spell at Anfield seemingly at an end, Watford and Hull City, where Markovic spent last season on loan, are in a £8m fight to sign the winger.
