Liverpool Transfer News: TEAMtalk reports that Liverpool have held talks with CAA Stellar, the agency that represents Atletico Madrid midfielder Pablo Barrios, and that the Spaniard’s name has featured more prominently in those conversations than most would expect. Barrios carries the ball through traffic, and against Liverpool at Anfield in September, he completed 91% of his passes and won three dribbles despite the counter-press, even though Atletico lost 2-1.

Liverpool Transfer News: Should Liverpool make Barrios a midfield priority? Liverpool have 18 points from 10 league games, three behind third-placed Manchester City, and Arsenal won 1-0 at Anfield on 1 November without needing a second goal.

Keep the dialogue open, because Mac Allister’s unresolved contract could change the picture, but sign a holding midfielder first and revisit Barrios next summer, once he has strung together a full season of fitness. Since 2017, he has been covering football and cricket news with a keen eye for detail and compelling storytelling.
