Liverpool are reportedly lining up a move for Stuttgart centre‑back Finn Jeltsch, a 20‑year‑old German defender who has already attracted interest from other top clubs such as Barcelona and Real Madrid. The German side’s promising young player has been on the radar of several Premier League teams, with Liverpool’s scouting network reportedly identifying him as a potential long‑term asset.
The German club’s defensive line has been a focal point for the Premier League’s elite, and Jeltsch’s performances in the Bundesliga have earned him comparisons to other young talents who have made the leap to the English game. While no official offer has been confirmed, Liverpool’s interest is part of a broader strategy to secure promising young players who can develop into first‑team regulars over time.

Other notable transfer chatter includes Brighton’s 23‑year‑old Paraguayan midfielder Diego Gomez, who is reportedly not a target for AC Milan or Atletico Madrid.

In the United States, Juventus have made American striker Folarin Balogun, who was due to join Everton on deadline day, their top January target. The 25‑year‑old has been linked with a move to the Premier League, but the deal was not completed.
