Liverpool Transfer News: Fresh Jeremy Mathieu Rumours, Latest on Jon Flanagan

Liverpool are interested in landing Barcelona defender Jeremy Mathieu, with his place at the Camp Nou potentially under threat.

That’s according to Le Parisien (h/t Sport), which stated the Reds are considering a swoop for the Frenchman, with manager Jurgen Klopp said to be keen on bolstering his defensive options. It’s noted in the piece that although Besiktas are also interested, "the chance to play in the Premier League is an option that is hard to turn down" for Mathieu.

Since joining Barcelona in the summer of 2014, the defender has typically been the main backup option to starting centre-backs Gerard Pique and Javier Mascherano.
