Liverpool transfer news: El Nacional, as relayed by Transfer Feed, reports that Liverpool have moved ahead of Real Madrid in the race for a Crystal Palace midfielder valued at roughly €85m-€100m (£73m-£85m). It claims Liverpool have accelerated talks with his representatives as the window enters its final stretch, while Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United remain linked with the player.

Liverpool transfer news has therefore taken on extra weight around a player whose profile suits Iraola’s side. Liverpool transfer news and the Wharton case Liverpool should pursue the deal, but they shouldn’t blindly accept Palace’s top-end valuation.

Liverpool transfer news makes more sense because Wharton offers a specific midfield quality rather than another squad body. Liverpool transfer news should focus on the football rather than beating Madrid.
