Liverpool deal agreed after double-pronged defender decision, with Klopp preparing to benefit next year

According to reports in France, Liverpool has agreed to loan Billy Koumetio to US Dunkerque.

Koumetio will temporarily play in the French second division as a result of the transfer, though Liverpool did not give Dunkerque the option to purchase the defender. To put it another way, they’ve decided that while it would be best for him to grow elsewhere this season, they also don’t want to lose control of his career.

If everything goes as planned, Koumetio will return to Liverpool the following year with more experience under his belt, hoping to leave a bigger impression on Jurgen Klopp.

If Liverpool don’t work out a contract extension before sending him off, he will have one year left on his contract when his loan in Dunkirk comes to an end.

Koumetio spent a portion of last season on loan at Austria Vienna, but he was called back after only six months due to a dearth of regular playing time.

He will now advance with Dunkerque, a new team in Ligue 2, after they were promoted from France’s third tier last season. He is still only 20 years old.

After passing through the youth ranks of Lyon and US Orleans, they will be giving him his first opportunity to play for a club in his country of birth at the senior level.

Koumetio has previously appeared twice for the Liverpool first team, but neither of those appearances came during the 2017–18 campaign.

He is currently on track to join the list of recent young prospects to leave them on loan this summer, joining the likes of Calvin Ramsay, Fabio Carvalho, Rhys Williams, Aberdeen, and Sepp van den Berg.

Gomez is a subject of interest for Liverpool as well.
Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, Ibrahima Konate, and Joe Gomez are the senior center backs still available to Klopp, though the latter is also being linked with a transfer.

Following their acquisition of Fabinho from Liverpool and pursuit of Mohamed Salah this summer, Al-Ittihad appears to be interested in Gomez.

The Times has updated their report, stating that West Ham may be eager to provide the England international with an alternative Premier League platform as he seeks to regain his place in Gareth Southgate’s squad. But his Liverpool contract is still set to expire in 2027.

Additionally, what transpires with Liverpool’s Nat Phillips before the transfer window closes remains to be seen. Leeds United and Stuttgart, who had him on loan in Germany previously, have both been mentioned in relation to him.

Liverpool chese to sign £52m Premier League player currently in limbo

Liverpool’s search for Chieck Doucoure has reportedly stalled, with the Reds currently in talks with Crystal Palace for the midfielder.

According to RMC Sport, the negotiations between the two clubs have not materialized and Palace would like at least 60 million euros for Doucoure this summer.

Liverpool are desperate for a fourth and bottom midfielder, having spent a lot of money on the position these days. Doucoure emerged as a viable option for the Reds going into the final week of the transfer window.

However, this update seems to indicate that Liverpool are struggling to reach an agreement with Palace over Doucoure, with talks having stalled.

With the session closing on Friday, time is at a premium for Liverpool, and the Reds cannot afford to waste any of it on reaching the deadline, set for later this week. Doucoure would indeed be a huge asset to Liverpool given what they need in midfield, and a breakthrough with Palace is needed quickly if they are to secure the 23-year-old’s signature.

Liverpool must do everything they can to sign Doucoure

Time is running out for Liverpool to sign this window permanently and Doucouré could be an ideal signing for the Reds given what they need in the squad.

The Malian international has Premier League experience and has shown he can do his job against the best of the best in Europe, and Doucoure’s age is also a huge selling point.

And for Liverpool, the sooner there is a breakthrough with Palace the better, as the Reds are in no position to waste time given what has already happened this summer.
