The trend of Liverpool being snubbed in the transfer market looks set to continue with one of their summer targets set to extend his stay at his current club.

The Reds loo🍌k set to suffer another transfer🧔 blow after missing out on a number of midfield targets in recent windows.

Liv🌺erpool were rejected by Martin Zubimendi this summer despite b🐽eing willing to pay his release clause at Real Sociedad.

Teun Koopmeiners has also hin💖ted that he rejected Liverpool this🌱 summer, and the pattern even goes back to previous transfer windows after Liverpool targeted Moises Cai🌳cedo and Romeo Lavia before their moves to Chelsea.

Arne Slot eventually did get a transfer deal over the line this summer with Liverpool completing a bargain £10m d🐽eal for Federico Chiesa, but overall it was a fairly underwhelming win💦dow for ꧑the Merseyside club.

Fabrizio Romano shares Jamal Musiala update

There was a feeling that Liverpool could complete a marquee signing over the summer and they were linked with a move for Jamal Musiala.

The Bayern Munich youngster was valued at £96m over the summer and ultimately Liverpool never pushed to get a deal ove🌱r the line.

If there are still any Liverpool fans hoping that the “incredible” Musiala would eventually end up at Anfield, their hopes and dreams have just suffered a big blow🉐.

Fabrizio Romano, via , has♏ revealed that Bayern are confident of keeping hold of Musiala and tying him down to a new contra🐻ct.

Musiala’s current deal wi♔th the Bundesliga gia🧸nts runs until 2026, but he is set to extend his stay even further.

“Bayern are confident, they want Musiala to stay and his contact is a really important topic for the b𒉰oard, they simply can’t fail on this mission. Negotiations are ongoing, but it’s too early to say how it will finish.” Romano said.

Liverpool may need big-name signing next summer

Mohamed Salah’s contract situation is like a daᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚrk cloud hanging over Liverpool. Regardless of their bright start to the season, Salah’s future has been the biggest talking ꦦpoint.

Liverpool have already sourced a reasonable replacement in Chiesa, but they may need a big-name signing to replace Salah’s role at the club and Musiala fits the𒊎 bill.

Hoꦏwever, Liverpool have shown plenty of times that they are not willing to overpay for their targets so if Musiala has committed his future to Bayern then the Reds may have to look elsewhere.

They adopted a paꦜtient approach to this summer’s window but that simply𓆉 won’t be possible next year if Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Salah are all headed for the exit.
