Transfer Latest: Liverpool Ready To Let Defender Leave

One of the latest transfer news is that Liverpool are ready to let Ben Davies leave on loan with Sheffield United leading race to sign him.

The 25-year-old has not played a single game for the Reds since joining from Preston North End in February, but is now likely to return to the Championship

Sheffield United are hoping to sign Davies on loan, according to Goal.

The Anfield club rejected an initial approach from the Championship side this week, as they were unwilling to agree to a buy option in the deal.

But it is understood that they are willing to allow the Englishman to leave on a temporary basis this summer, with the player eager to play regular football this campaign.

In a piece of related news, Fabinho has penned a new five-year Liverpool deal.

The Brazilian, 27, joined Liverpool in 2018 and has proved a valuable utility player for the Reds, filling in at centre-back or right-back as well as his favoured midfield role.

 

Our story goes on, Reds! Very happy to renew my contract and keep wearing this jersey for even longer. I'm sure we'll still live a lot together. Let's go! ??? #YNWA pic.twitter.com/JQcc7er3hL

And after helping Jurgen Klopp ease the injury crisis suffered in defence last term, he has been rewarded with a new deal that will run until 2026.
