Menez a NO go !!!

Liverpool target Jeremy Menez rules out PSG transfer

Liverpool are set to have missed out on signing Jeremy Menez in January after his agent confirmed that the forward is willing to extend his stay at Paris Saint-Germain till the end of the season.

The Metro reports that Liverpool were interested in the French international earlier in the season and could have looked at bringing him during the current transfer window.

Menez has played just nine Ligue 1 matches for PSG this season, scoring in two of his five starts against Reims and Lorient in November.

According to the Metro, Liverpool had been hoping to sign the 26-year-old on-loan for the remainder of the season with the option to complete a permanent deal for the midfielder but will now continue to focus their efforts on signing Mohamed Salah from Basel.

‘Jeremy will remain at PSG until the end of the season,’ said Jean-Pierre Bernes.

Liverpool will play Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium in the Premier league on Sunday and will be looking to close the gap with Arsenal to three points who play late evening against Aston Villa the next day.

Tello almost certain to become a Red

Cristian Tello is reportedly close to sign for Liverpool on LOAN 

According to the Daily Star , the Spanish winger is on the verge of sealing a switch to Anfield.   

Tello has hit 10 goals in 47 appearances for Barca but this season he has seen his first-team opportunities limited under new manager Gerardo Martino.

The Spanish international was wanted by Brendan Rodgers last summer but instead decided to stay with the La Liga giants - signing a contract extension until 2018.

Tello signed a long term contract at the Catalan club that saw his release clause bumped up to £22m. He said back then, as we reported here:

“I always wanted to stay here. The coach has confidence in me, I’m happy and ready to play. I knew that Liverpool were interested in me, but I never thought about leaving.”

Back in December, Tello revealed that he could be open to move, if he is not getting regular game time at Barcelona.

However, he has become increasingly frustrated with his role at Barca and although the club want to keep him, they may come to a compromise - allowing him to leave on a short-term basis.

The Spanish international can play on both wings and his direct style of football would bring a new dimension to Liverpool's attacking play.

He would be a great addition to Brendan Rogers current thin squad.
