Liverpool’s loss to Swansea on Monday has made the club return to the transfer market.

The Reds were not planning to sign a replacement for their departed Brazilian star Philippe Coutinho this month, but the lack of creativity they witnessed in their game against Swansea has made them change their mind.

Reports are claiming that the Reds have returned for Brazilian attacking midfielder, Luan.

The Gremio man was just named the best player in South America after his 8 goals and inspirational performances helped Gremio win the Copa Libertadores.

Luan had previously claimed it was not yet the right time for him to move to Europe, but the source is claiming he is in fact currently in talks with the Reds.

He has a £15.7 million release clause written into his current deal, a figure that would small for the Reds to pay after they sold Philippe Coutinho for £145 million.

Although Liverpool are still interested in Thomas Lemar of Monaco and Christian Pulisic of Borussia Dortmund, the Reds believe Luan is the only target they can land this month.

Luan is attacking midfielder who is always happy to score the goals, and while he may need some time to settle in Europe, the Reds would be glad to make do with some of his creativity.

Sergio Aguero’s representatives have been contacted over a possible return to the Wanda Metropolitana.

The Argentine attacker joined Manchester City from Atleti in 2011 for £38 million.

He has been unhappy whenever he has had to share the goal scoring responsibilities with Gabriel Jesus.

Although Aguero has been returning the faith shown in him with goals, Pep Guardiola considers Jesus the future of Manchester City.

According to Sun Sport, Pep Guardiola is also admiring Antoine Griezmann and the two clubs could discuss a swap deal.

Antoine Griezmann’s release clause would be worth £85 million after this season, a  figure that would not be too much for the Cityzens to afford.

Manchester United are also interested in Griezmann, and the French man who is good friends with Paul Pogba has told them he would sign for them if they can pay him £400,000 per week.

Aguero has been enjoying a run in the first team in the absence of Gabriel Jesus, but he knows when the Brazilian fully recovers he would have to fight to play.

Manchester City currently value Aguero at £60 million.

Diego Simeone wants the Argentine to Partner Diego Costa next season as they look to win another La Liga title.

Merseyside rivals Everton and Liverpool are set to battle for the signature of West Brom attacker, Salomon Rondon.

The attacker has scored 23 goals for the Baggies in the 2-and-half years he has spent at the Hawthorns.

The Baggies are currently not looking to sell, but with the Venezuelan having 18 months left on his current deal, they could be tempted to listen to offers for him.

Rondon was involved in a nasty on-field accident with Everton’s McCarthy, which left them Irish man injured and even stretched out of the field.

Liverpool are considering selling Daniel Sturridge this month as the England attacker is looking to play his way into Gareth Southgate’s plan for the world cup.

Rondon is a fast a very strong center-forward, and Jurgen Klopp believes he can help reduce the burden on Roberto Firmino.

Everton are also looking to send Sandro Ramires on loan to Newcastle, but they want cover first and Sam Allardyce thinks Rondon would be a good addition to his squad.

Rondon has netted 3 league goals in 22 appearances this season.
