Rumors are circulating that Liverpool are entering the race to sign De Jong from Barcelona. Frenkie de Jong has been linked with a move away from Barcelona over the past few months, and Liverpool are poised to sign the Dutchman.

The contracts of Liverpool midfielders Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and James Milner will expire at the end of the current campaign, at the same time as Arthur's loan period. As a result, the team is considering their options. The Reds' struggles in the Premier League may encourage January transfers given their need for additional midfielders.
