The transfer window is coming to a close with just over two weeks left for the Reds to complete their business.
Liverpool have been linked with a number of players across the attack and midfield to bolster their options.
However, the club is yet to conduct any more business since the signing of Ibrahima Konaté.
One player that the club has been rumoured to be interested in is Leicester City youngster Harvey Barnes.
Despite this, it now appears that any hopes of signing Barnes are set to be dashed.
According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, the 23-year-old is set to sign a new bumper contract with the Foxes…
As cited by Anfield Watch above, Leicester are clearly eager to tie Barnes down to a better deal.
The young Englishman has been fantastic for the club since his breakthrough and has proven to be a useful player.
Liverpool are right to be interested in the attacker with his versatility and age which perfectly fits the club’s interests.
Barnes fits the Reds’ transfer policy to a tee and has great potential to grow especially under Jurgen Klopp.
Even with the Englishman signing a new deal, this doesn’t mean the club will disregard their interest.
With a current market value of £31.5million, Barnes would already cost a fair amount prior to the new contract.
However, with the proposed new deal, a fee for Barnes would no doubt be much higher for Liverpool in the future.
