Liverpool FC Face HUGE Competition for Daniel Banjaqui!
Dave Davis returns with another edition of Newsround on Anfield Index, discussing Liverpool's latest transfer developments and the build-up to their Premier League clash with Brentford.
The headlines centre on Daniel Banjaqui, with Liverpool facing growing competition for the highly rated Benfica right-back. Barcelona, Arsenal, Inter Milan, Newcastle United and Manchester United have all been linked with the youngster, while reports suggest Benfica could demand a significant fee to sanction a transfer. Can Liverpool get ahead of their European rivals and secure one of the continent's most promising defensive talents?
Attention also turns to Liverpool's midfield recruitment, with Bournemouth's Alex Scott reportedly attracting serious interest from the Reds and Chelsea. Dave questions whether a potential £80m–£100m deal would represent good value and considers whether Real Betis midfielder Sergi Altimira could offer a different solution to Liverpool's midfield problems.
There's also discussion surrounding Ronald Araújo's future, with reports suggesting Liverpool retain the option to make his move from Barcelona permanent.
Finally, Dave previews Liverpool's difficult trip to Brentford, assessing the latest fitness concerns, his predicted starting XI and the importance of Bradley Barcola, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak delivering in a demanding Premier League encounter.
