Liverpool will not bid for Sporting CP attacker Gelson Martins in January, according to journalist Gabriele Marcotti.
Marcotti told ESPN FC the Reds do not need to sign a forward in the forthcoming transfer window after reports of an imminent bid for the 22-year-old (h/t Lewis Winter of the Daily Express).
Speculating on manager Jurgen Klopp's next target, Marcotti said the German will prioritise other positions before he considers a bid for the winger.
"Again I don’t think [a move for Martins] is January," said Marcotti. "I think right now, when you look at the Liverpool squad, I’m not sure it’s necessarily a priority either.
