Liverpool have opened talks with Frankfurt over the potential transfer of Hugo Larsson, who currently plays as a midfielder. Negotiations are active and ongoing after an opening bid was submitted, though there is reportedly still some distance between the clubs on valuation. However, discussions are said to remain open and constructive - as both sides explore whether there is a deal to be done. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if AL Ittihad decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. So far this season, Liverpool are steady at both ends (1.68 goals scored per game, 1.41 goals conceded per game). The role for Hugo Larsson would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Alongside this, Frankfurt are said to be exploring Patrick Wimmer with Liverpool likewise connected to Maghnes Akliouche, Robin Roefs and Eduardo Camavinga. More on this story as it develops.
