Instead, the Premier League giants got rid of a few unused substitutes to raise funds while they lost Georginio Wijnaldum for nothing as the Dutch star joined PSG in a free transfer. Besides those moves, Liverpool stayed with a familiar squad for the 2021-22 campaign.

However, the Merseyside club would consider going back into the transfer market in January. According to reports, they’d be willing to match the €35 million price tagBrighton set for one of their best players.

Liverpool reportedly consider satisfying Brighton’s demands for their star

Brighton and Hove Albion’s Yves Bissouma is reportedly on the radar of various Premier League teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Tottenham, but journalist Ekrem Konur reports that Liverpool would actually match the asking price for him.

Konur claimed nearly a month ago that the Seagulls would consider letting the 25-year-old midfielder leave as long as they receive an offer around €35 million ($40.5m). Recently, the journalist mentioned that the Mali internationalhas been on Klopp’s radar for a while and Liverpool will finally place a ‘huge’ bid in January.

Bissouma arrived in Brighton in the summer of 2018 from Ligue 1 side Lille for nearly €17 million and his contract runs until June 2023. Liverpool are well-stocked in the middle of the park but Bissouma would be an interesting alternative as Thiago failed to impress so far and James Milner is getting older.

Now things have already begun to heat up for the January window as Mali international midfielder Yves Bissouma has become a target of three of the biggest clubs of the Premier League.

Yves Bissouma currently plays for Brighton & Hove Albion where he has scored 2 goals in 89 games, and to open up this season Bissouma provided an assist to lead his club to a 2-0 win over Watford. Who are the three teams chasing the Mali midfielder valued at £40 million? Find out here.

Arsenal

It is reported in the Sun that Arsenal have been keeping close tabs on Bissouma, where he would fit in the lineup remains to be seen, but he could certainly help the Gunners for sure given their less than spectacular start to the season.

Liverpool

Liverpool is always in the market for players with the characteristics of Bissouma. Fast and good build up play would be more than welcomed. Could he be an out and out starter? Most likely not, but a good role player for sure.

Manchester United

This one is a bit tricky; it is doubtful Manchester United would be in the market for a player like Yves Bissouma. If Paul Pogba were to leave for a big money move during the transfer window in January for example, Bissouma could be a good filler solution as Man U thinks of a long-term solution, still, given how the red devils have stacked up this season it’s doubtful Pogba goes anywhere.
