Reports say Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur “joined” Liverpool in the race to sign Premier League stars.
Liverpool released a statement over the transfer period this summer, investing around £290 million in signatures as Europe’s biggest spender.
Nevertheless, Arne Slot’s side remains in the market for further additions as they can sign Newcastle United star Alexander Isaac and another new centre-back before this window closes.
The 18-year-old Giovanni Leoni was Liverpool’s latest signature after resigning from competition with the Italian club to sign a young centre-back, and this move was boosted after Jarrel Cuansa moved to Bayer Lebakusen.
Liverpool was still able to sign another centre-back as they targeted Mark Guech in reports linking the transition to Ibrahima Conate and Real Madrid, but it is also said they are looking at alternatives.
Brentford defender Nathan Collins has been debated as a left field option, with a recent report claiming he is “interested.”

However, a new report in the Daily Mail claims Liverpool is facing competition between Man UTD and the Spurs in the race to sign Collins before this transfer window closes.
The three Premier League clubs are said to be planning a “shocking move” for the Brentford star, but each team has “one big problem” to overcome.
The problem is that they may be very reluctant to sell, as they have already lost Thomas Frank and Brian Mbeumo,” but Yorn Wissa could join Newcastle United in the next few days/weeks.

Still, “Daily Mail Sports understands that interest in the 24-year-old centre half is surged,” but Man UTD and the Spurs have obstacles to overcome to beat Liverpool over Collins.
The report explains:
‘Man Utd and Spurs are now joining Liverpool and following Collins. United are keen to add another defender, already raiding bees with £65 million Brian Mbeumo. However, further business in Old Trafford may only arrive if existing squad members depart.
“The Spurs are looking for defensive reinforcements. Thomas Frank, a new manager who arrived from Brentford this summer, is a admirer of Collins, but may be reluctant to act given his level of respect for his former employer.
It will be a much needed boost for Brentford to keep Collins up. Because at the time of writing they are 3-0 to Nottingham Forest in the opening game of the new Premier League season, which is the first competitive match for new head coach Keith Andrews.
