A round-up of the latest Liverpool transfer rumours including updates on Arnaut Danjuma, Otavio and Neco Williams.
It is believed Fulham were frontrunners to sign him, although Forest are also in contention. The Wales international has plenty of interest this summer after a successful loan spell with Fulham in the second-half of last season. However, it's worth noting Liverpool have already added to their attacking depth this summer with the addition of Nunez.
Without outgoings, a 27-year-old attacking midfielder and forward who wouldn't improve the club's best eleven was always an unlikely rumour.
Midfield certainly seems a potential problem area in the current Liverpool squad, but it’s in the deeper areas where Fabinho is the only player who truly excels where those potential problems exists and even if a more advanced player were to depart there would be question marks around Otávio as a target. On paper, that would make him something of an odd fit for Liverpool’s perceived needs. It appears today the former is the likelier alternative after club-connected journalists including Goal’s Neil Jones threw cold water on the story, saying not only is there no current interest in the player but that Otávio has never been a potential Liverpool target.
However, journalist Fabrizio Romano has denied claims that Liverpool are interested in the midfielder, as seen in the tweet below.

Liverpool and Porto have denied that any negotiations have taken place over a potential transfer involving Otavio, says Fabrizio Romano.
“Wijnaldum made a mistake in choosing PSG,” Van der Vaart said. Otávio and Wijnaldum are not in the list for Liverpool as things stand – still long market, but no talks for these two. Otavio’s release clause is also said to be ‘€40m and not €60m’ as reported with Romano continuing by saying ‘Otavio and [Georginio] Wijnaldum are not in the list for Liverpool as things stand – still long market, but no talks for these two.’

Leeds United may have to pay Otavio's release clause to sign him from FC Porto, according to a report.
He could duly be a replacement for Raphinha, who is expected to leave Elland Road if Leeds’ £60m demands are met, as per The Athletic. He also earned a place in the division’s Team of the Season, another reflection of his class. The verdict

Otavio’s qualities have not gone unnoticed, with Liverpool targeting him ahead of the new season. The Colombian international has turned out to be quite a bargain, having established himself as an indispensable part of Jurgen Klopp’s attacking setup. The player’s priority is to join a top European club, and that is where LFC come into the fray.
Leeds United have been handed a summer transfer boost after it was reported Liverpool are not interested in Portuguese winger Otavio.
With Raphinha looking set to depart Elland Road, quality out wide to replace the Brazilian is a must for Leeds this summer. However, Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano took to twitter to clear up what Otavio's actual release fee clause was and that Liverpool are not interested in signing the Porto winger this summer - which would give Leeds a big boost should they choose to pursue him. Leeds United have been handed a summer transfer boost after it was reported Liverpool are not interested in Portuguese winger Otavio. Otavio is said to be a target for Leeds who are looking to reinforce their attacking options ahead of the upcoming Premier League campaign.
A new transfer update has claimed that Liverpool are interested in making a move for exciting Porto winger Otavio in the summer window.
If he isn’t content to play second fiddle to last season’s joint-top Premier League scorer, it is hard to see any such transfer happening. A new transfer update has claimed that Liverpool are interested in making a move for exciting Porto winger Otavio in the summer window and have discovered how much they will need to spend in order to sign him. The report added that the Portuguese champions will give short shrift to any offers of less than €40m (£34.4m), giving Liverpool a base line from which to work.
Fabrizio Romano has handed Leeds United a boost in their bid to sign Otavio by reporting his release clause is worth just £34.4m.
He also claimed that it would actually only take £34.4 million to trigger his release clause… It was believed that that would set Leeds back a fee of £51.6 million. And Jesse Marsch’s men absolutely need more good news in the transfer market. Leeds fans will certainly welcome the potential boost. Obviously, the Reds entering the race seemed ominous for Leeds. They were unlikely to be far off meeting his asking price. And it seemed that they were dealt a further blow on Sunday.
