Liverpool favour Semenyo over Olise
Liverpool are focused on signing Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo instead of Bayern Munich star Michael Olise, according to Florian Plettenberg.
Semenyo has enjoyed a stunning start to the Premier League season, producing six goals and three assists in 13 top-flight appearances.

Former Crystal Palace forward Olise is also on fire at the moment, with six goals and seven assists in 12 Bundesliga outings this term.
The Reds reportedly view the Frenchman as an option in the future, but Plettenberg insists they are not planning to bid for him at the moment.
"Liverpool are fond of Michael Olise and view him as a future dream target," he posted on X, formerly Twitter.
"However, despite other reports, they are not planning an offer at this stage.
"He is currently not a concrete transfer target for LFC.
"Main reasons: he does not have a release clause in his contract, FC Bayern are not open to talks, and Olise himself is not inclined to leave.
"Liverpool are currently focused on Antoine Semenyo."
Roma in for three strikers
Roma reportedly have three strikers on their shortlist of potential signings ahead of the January window, in the form of Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee, former Wolves star Fabio Silva, and Yuri Alberto.
Corriere dello Sport say that the Serie A giants believe they need to bolster their attacking options despite being fourth in the league, just one point behind leaders AC Milan.

Zirkzee has struggled to adapt to life at Old Trafford since arriving from Bologna, while Silva could not hit the ground running with Wolves.
However, the Italian outlet say they are both on Roma’s shortlist ahead of a crucial window for the Italian giants.
"One thing is certain, and at Trigoria they're no longer hiding it: Roma wants to strengthen their attack in the January transfer window," reads the article.
"That's the department that decides seasons, the one that can transform a good run into a memorable one.
"So Massara is studying solutions to figure out how to land one of the three important targets in terms of transfer fee, salary, and above all, technical weight.
"The hunt is on, and there's already a sign: all three names have already said yes to Roma, with their minds already focused on working with Gasperini.
"Three names currently intrigue the sporting director: Joshua Zirkzee, Yuri Alberto, and Fabio Silva."
Gala in for Salah
Galatasaray are reportedly planning to make a sensational offer to sign Mohamed Salah from Liverpool in January.
The Egyptian forward was key to his side’s Premier League triumph last term, but he has struggled to replicate that form during the 2025/26 season, producing four goals and two assists in 12 top-flight appearances.

He has been named on the bench for Liverpool’s last two Premier League clashes, and Galatasaray could be ready to capitalise.
Spanish outlet Fichajes says that the forward is ready to start a new chapter in his career following a successful spell on Merseyside.
"Mohamed Salah appears ready to begin a new chapter away from Anfield," reads the article.
"Galatasaray plans to make an offer to sign him in the January 2026 transfer window.
"The Egyptian forward, currently at Liverpool, is not in his best form, and the offer from the Istanbul giants could represent a turning point in his career."
Wolves to send Lopez out on loan
Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Wolves are willing to let Fer Lopez leave the club on loan after a disappointing start to life in England.
The Spaniard joined the relegation-threatened Premier League side in the summer from Spanish club Celta Vigo.
Wolves are currently rooted to the bottom of the table on two points, 12 points off Leeds in 17th place.
Romano says Wolves are eager to send the 21-year-old out on loan until the end of the 2025/26 campaign.
"Fer Lopez can be available on loan until June 2026 from Wolves after limited game time this season so far," he posted on X.
