Liverpool could be set to spend big once more in January with Jurgen Klopp aiming to get the Reds back on track.
The Merseyside outfit endured a hugely disappointing first half of the season before the domestic action took a break for the World Cup. In an effort to rise up the table, Liverpool could look to the transfer market with the window set to open in less than a months’ time.
The Reds have never been afraid to spend heavily in January - their acquisition of Colombian winger Luis Diaz from Porto 12 months ago a prime example. A number of players have been linked with following him to Anfield already.
With that being said, Mirror Sport takes a look at the latest Liverpool transfer rumours.
Reds sent Bellingham warning
Borussia Dortmund managing director Carsten Cramer has warned Liverpool they will not be getting a “gift” of a discounted Jude Bellingham.
As quoted by Vietnam News, he said: “We have a high sympathy for Liverpool for sure. We are still in a good relationship with Jurgen and many others at Liverpool, so for me, it's my preferred club in the EPL as well.
"But don't expect that we will make gifts to Liverpool."
Bellingham has been linked with a move to Anfield on numerous occasions in the past.

Whilst Bellingham is expected to cost a fair amount, a cheaper alternative could potentially be AC Milan playmaker Ismael Bennacer. The Algerian is reportedly being chased by a number of Premier League clubs including Arsenal and Aston Villa.
Reports in Italy have claimed that the Reds have already tabled an offer for Bennacer ahead of the January transfer window. Corriere dello Sport suggest that Liverpool have offered him a contract that could potentially see him earn €3.5m-€4m (£3m-£3.4m) per season.
The midfielder has just a year-and-a-half left on his current deal at the San Siro so AC Milan could be tempted to sell.
Darwin Nunez tracked by Real Madrid
Despite Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez having only arrived at Anfield in the summer, it appears that he already has admirers. According to Defensa Central, Real Madrid have the former Benfica man on their shortlist of potential attacking signings.
The Spanish club are looking for reinforcements following the injury suffered by Karim Benzema on the eve of the World Cup. Gabriel Jesus, Cody Gakpo, and Richarlison are all also apparently being tracked by the reigning European champions.
