Liverpool keen on Stuttgart defender Jeltsch – Wednesday’s gossip

BBC Sport ·

Liverpool, Barcelona and Real Madrid are reportedly interested in Stuttgart centre-back Finn Jeltsch, 20, as European clubs track the young German defender. The gossip also points to renewed interest in Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott from Chelsea, with Liverpool also monitoring him.

Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham and Newcastle have reportedly scouted Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi, 22, but the Belgian club are said to have ruled out a January sale. Other claims include Manchester United weighing a successor to Michael Carrick, Brighton being relaxed about interest in Diego Gomez, pressure on Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage, and Juventus targeting Folarin Balogun.

In short

  • Liverpool are linked with Stuttgart defender Finn Jeltsch.
  • Chelsea and Liverpool are monitoring Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott.
  • Club Brugge are reportedly unwilling to sell Nicolo Tresoldi in January.

Explained simply

Liverpool are an English club, while Stuttgart play in Germany’s Bundesliga. Finn Jeltsch is a young centre-back, a defender whose role is to help stop opposing teams scoring; reports say several major European clubs are watching him.

Transfer reports and gossip describe possible interest, which does not mean a bid has been made or a move agreed. Clubs may monitor players well before deciding whether to pursue a transfer, and the player’s current club may not want to sell.

The wider claims involve clubs across England and Europe tracking players or considering changes. They matter because recruitment can shape teams over time, but the reports describe speculation rather than confirmed decisions.
