The Story in 60 Seconds

Liverpool are reportedly monitoring versatile Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu ahead of the January transfer window, according to Pete O'Rourke via Transfer Feed. Juventus are understood to value the 27-year-old French defender at around €45m to €50m (£38m to £42m) for a permanent deal, though it remains uncertain whether Liverpool will submit an official bid.
