After Arsenal withdrew from the race, Liverpool is closing in on a third summer signing and has agreed on personal terms.

With Jurgen Klopp’s team preparing for the upcoming campaign, Liverpool appears to be closing another summer signing.

Following Arsenal’s withdrawal from the running for his signature, Liverpool appears to be closing in on a third signing of the summer.

Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis MacAllister are the only players the Reds have signed thus far, but they have been very active in their outgoings. James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita, and Roberto Firmino were the first four players to leave the team on a free transfer; others have since done the same.

Jordan Henderson and Fabinho are both headed for the Saudi Pro League, while Fabio Carvalho has moved on loan to RB Leipzig. Liverpool’s need to significantly strengthen in the upcoming weeks is likely to persist.

Sacha Tavolieri, a journalist from Belgium, claims that Romeo Lavia’s transfer is only a “matter of time.”.

He tweeted that “work’s now ongoing to find the right structure with meticulous talks to ensure that bonuses are achievable” and that “[the] player’s waiting […] to undergo a medical to complete the transfer, so that he can be part of the summer camp in Singapore.”. “.

Personal terms have already been agreed upon, and transfer soothsayer Fabrizio Romano confirmed Arsenal’s virtual withdrawal from the race in a tweet.

Although Football Insider claimed that Arsenal were planning a move for Lavia, it is thought that their interest in a different midfielder is contingent on what will happen with Thomas Partey, who Mikel Arteta recently confirmed is in his future plans.

Lavia can perform as a No. 6 as well as a No. 8 and could perform either function at Anfield, although Jurgen Klopp may well add more midfield cover before the transfer window closes.

Transfermarkt has put the teenager’s value at €32 million.

Thuram, a target for Liverpool, might depart this summer.

Khephren Thuram, who was a transfer target for Liverpool, could leave OGC Nice this summer, according to Get French Football News, which received confirmation from OGC Nice’s sporting director Florent Ghisolfi.

This summer, the France midfielder has been frequently linked with a transfer to Liverpool, and it was claimed that Jurgen Klopp’s team and Thuram have already reached an agreement on personal terms.

Following his outstanding performances for Nice last season, he is regarded as one of the top midfielders in France. He made 48 appearances across all competitions and contributed to 10 goals, which helped them finish ninth in Ligue 1.

Thuram was a standout performer for France at the European Under-21 Championship this summer in Georgia and Romania, where they advanced to the quarterfinals.

Get French Football News reports that although Liverpool have not yet initiated negotiations with Nice regarding the transfer of Thuram, they may do so soon given the departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, as well as the upcoming start of the Premier League.

While Nice is eager to hold onto their best players, Ghisolfi claims that the 22-year-old and teammate Jean-Clair Todibo are drawing interest from a number of clubs. The director acknowledges that a transfer ‘could happen’ this summer, despite Nice’s desire to keep their best players.

“Thuram and Todibo are sought after. Although we never committed players, we hope to keep all of our important players. A departure could take place if everyone is satisfied, according to Ghisolfi, as quoted by Get French Football News.

According to the report, Thuram’s contract with the club has two years left, and the Ligue 1 team is asking for between £34 and £43m (€40-€50m) to sign him.

remodel the midfield.
After a subpar 2022–23 season, Liverpool is currently rebuilding their midfield. Along with Henderson and Fabinho, other players who have left the team include Naby Keita, James Milner, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have joined the Merseysiders, and Romeo Lavia of Southampton is still attracting a lot of interest.

The Reds will make an improved offer of around £42.5m guaranteed fee plus £2.5m add-ons in the hopes that the newly relegated team will accept the offer after the Saints rejected their initial offer. Chelsea will make a counteroffer, though.

Liverpool will need to keep their options open because the Blues are willing to sabotage the transaction. Thuram would be a less expensive choice than Lavia given Southampto’s £50 million asking price for the 19-year-old.
