Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch will not be leaving the club in near future as the Reds intended for a swap deal for Aurelien Tchouameni.
The Merseysiders have been at the peak of their performance as they lead both the PL and UCL points tables.
With 36 points in just 15 games, the Anfield giants are two points ahead of Chelsea with a game in hand. And in the Champions League, LFC have accumulated 18 points with a six-game unbeaten streak.
Now as the winter transfer window comes closer, the clubs look to bolster their ranks and the rumour-mill has started churning many updates.
The latest transfer rumour might come as a surprisingly relieving news for the Kopites.

Although Liverpool desperately needed a defensive-midfielder but failed to sign longstanding target Martin Zubimendi, the young Dutch midfielder has covered this unfamiliar role effectively and impressed many.
In 15 PL appearances for the Merseysiders, the 22-year-old averages 1.9 tackles and 2.1 interceptions per game with 89.6% pass completion rate (stats via WhoScored).
With much room for improvement, Gravenberch can only grow from current position and will definitely become one of the most valuable assets for Liverpool.
