Alejandro Balde (FC Barcelona)

Profile: 22-year-old Spanish left-back playing for Barcelona.

Liverpool Link: Reports indicate that Liverpool (with manager Andoni Iraola) have eyed Balde as a priority target, with potential valuations around €40 million (£34.2m).

Pros: Elite going forward, young, and possesses high technical upside.

Cons: Extracting him from Barcelona mid-season or convincing the club to sell could prove difficult and expensive.

El Hadji Malick Diouf (Brentford)

Profile: 21-year-old Senegalese left-back who joined Brentford from West Ham in August 2026 on a long-term contract running until 2031.

Liverpool Link: The Reds (alongside Chelsea) have made contact with his representatives and are tracking his progress, though a fee could climb toward £50 million.

Pros: Already Premier League-proven, strong defensively, and solid attacking output.

Cons: Having just signed for Brentford recently, the Bees are very reluctant to let him go mid-season.

Would you prefer Liverpool to push for Balde’s technical ceiling or Diouf’s Premier League experience?
