Reports emerged on Monday claiming that the Reds have rejected a verbal offer in the region of £70million for Darwin Nunez from Al-Hilal. The report claims the Reds value their striker at closer to the £85million mark.

Liverpool continue to be linked with a move for FC Nurnberg star Stefanos Tzimas, who has been impressive during his loan stint at FC Nurnberg. The 19-year-old has contributed eight goals and two assists in 14 appearances across all competitions this season.

Premier League rivals Chelsea, Newcastle United, and Brighton & Hove Albion are also interested in the Greek forward. The Reds have reportedly met with Tzimas' agent and personal terms are not expected to be an issue.

Tzimas already dreams of playing in the Premier League and would be open to a move to Anfield to join fellow Greek international Kostas Tsimikas.

"Yes, you could say that. The Premier League is also my dream league. But at the moment I am enjoying life in beautiful Nuremberg," he told Kicker.

Liverpool are ramping up their efforts to sign Tzimas in the transfer window and according to Anfield Watch, the club's chief scout, Barry Hunter, is currently in Germany to discuss details of a potential transfer after successful talks with Tzimas' representatives were held last week.
