Newsround with Dave Davis | Van Dijk Contract Warning, Mac Allister Future and Liverpool Transfer Plans
Part 2.
Dave Davis returns with another edition of Newsround on Anfield Index, examining Liverpool's growing contract concerns, the latest transfer speculation and the major decisions facing Julian Ward and Andoni Iraola.
Virgil van Dijk's future takes centre stage following David Ornstein's latest comments on potential contract negotiations. With the Liverpool captain approaching the final stages of his current deal, Dave questions why the club would risk delaying talks and dismisses suggestions that Nico Schlotterbeck or Murillo could adequately replace the Dutchman.
Attention then turns to Alexis Mac Allister, who has reiterated his desire to remain at Anfield despite previously being informed that a contract extension was not planned. Could changes to Liverpool's management and ownership structure reopen negotiations?
Rio Ngumoha's future is another concern, with reports from Germany continuing to link the young winger with Bayern Munich.
Dave also discusses Liverpool's left-back situation, questioning Milos Kerkez's long-term suitability and assessing fresh reports linking the Reds with Barcelona's Alejandro Balde.
In midfield, reported interest in Monaco's Lamine Camara continues, with claims that Chelsea have withdrawn from the race. However, Dave remains unconvinced that Liverpool will sign a midfielder in January.
There's also discussion of Ronald Araujo's €55 million permanent purchase option and why failing to address key areas during the winter window could leave Liverpool facing another enormous summer rebuild.
All this and more on Newsround with Dave Davis, exclusively on Anfield Index.
