Liverpool are interested in Carlos Baleba for the January transfer window. Manchester United were keen on signing him this summer, but he was considered too expensive as Brighton were demanding above £105 million for the Cameroon international.
Liverpool want Baleba as Arne Slot feels he would be a strong addition to his side’s midfield.
Fabian Hürzeler spoke about the young star recently:
”I think it’s normal for a young player when the media creates the noise around him. It’s not easy for this player to handle it. Therefore we need to give him the time and support so he comes back to his best performance.
But he’s a young player and I think that’s something we have to accept, that young players don’t always have the face we want to see. It’s our responsibility to help them in the right moments. I think everyone gets affected, especially when you are that young and you hear these kinds of things, no matter if they are wrong or right. But it’s just noise we don’t need.”
Liverpool have already spent £450 million this summer, including add-ons.
