Liverpool have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Arsenal defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos this month.
And it’s those two uncertainties that makes us think Liverpool will reject the chance to sign Sokratis, even if it’s said the Reds are yet to make a decision.
Speaking on his Here We Go podcast (via Anfield Edition), the Italian journalist claimed Sokratis has been offered to Liverpool in the hopes his relationship with Jurgen Klopp may trigger a reaction.

Potential transfer fees aren’t mentioned, but Transfermarkt suggest the centre-half is worth just over £3million.
Sokratis’ contract runs out in six months, so this report actually makes a great deal of sense.
That’s according to the reliable Fabrizio Romano, who claims the Reds haven’t yet decided if they’ll try for a centre-half before the end of the winter transfer window.
If Liverpool are able to pick up Sokratis for around £1.5million and avoid paying over-the-top agent fees to agree a Bosman deal, it could be a good move.
