: RIVER PLATE PLAYER LINKED TO LIVERPOOL Liverpool would be willing to exercise Franco Mastantuono’s €45M release clause, The player will be loaned to #River for 6 months until August 202

The January transfer window is steaming into view for Liverpool as they are given another chance to bolster their playing squad.

Arne Slot barely did anything at all during his first transfer market with the Reds and supporters will be hoping that the second is a busier affair.

With Liverpool going so well in the Premier League and Champions League, there is an argument that Slot does not need to meddle too much with what has been a winning formula.

However, some will counter that by saying now is the time to really bolster the Liverpool squad and capitalise on a big opportunity for the club.

Either way, the Reds will be looking to the future and whether anyone is signed in the New Year or not, groundwork will be done for potential summer deals.

One player who is reportedly on their radar in that respect is River Plate talent Franco Mastantuono. And as rumours around Mastantuono gather pace, Argentine outlet TyC Sports have cleared up the situation.
