According to British news portal Football Insider, Liverpool have begun negotiations with Leandro Trossard's employers with a view to bringing him in as a free agent in the upcoming summer transfer window.

The Belgian winger, who played minutes in his side's win over Canada in the opening group stage of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, is out of contract at Brighton in the summer of 2023 and is unlikely to be re-signed as he has begun to attract attention from a number of big-name clubs around the world, including Atletico Madrid.

Brighton are not interested in selling him in the winter transfer window despite losing him as a free agent in the summer. Roberto de Zerbi knows they need Leandro Trossard to help them achieve their goals and would be willing to forgo a fee for his departure to keep him for a few more months.
