Latest Liverpool transfer news: Reds are not interested in Real Betis star Junior Firpo

Paul Gorst of the Liverpool Echo claimed that the Reds are not interested in left-back Junior Firpo.

The 22-year-old Spaniard is currently with the U21 side for the Euros, and Marca (h/t Liverpool Echo) claimed that Liverpool wanted to trigger the €50million clause in his contract.

The report added that the Reds were not put off by the fee and Manchester United were also interested in the 22-year-old.

The Reds are in need of cover for Andy Robertson after Alberto Moreno left in the summer. James Milner and Joe Gomez can play in that position, but getting a quality full-back has to be a priority for Jurgen Klopp.

The report claims that Firpo is not on our radar and the Betis star has not been discussed by Michael Edwards or Klopp.

Fans aren’t certain of what to make with the report

The report added that the Reds would not pay a huge amount for a player who would be a back-up to Robbo. Further, Liverpool will not spend a crazy amount, as they did in the previous summer when we signed Alisson, Fabinho and Naby Keita.

Many Liverpool fans were not pleased with the report from the Echo and believed Gorst was the new James Pearce.
