Arne Slot is looking for another midfield player for Liverpool after a £27.5 million deal was reached

Arne Slot intends to pursue Juventus’ Adrien Rabiot in addition to hoping that Martin Zubimendi will be his first hire as head coach of Liverpool in the near future.

Regardless of whether Martin Zubimendi completes his transfer from Real Sociedad, Arne Slot is eager to sign France midfielder Adrien Rabiot.

Although Liverpool appears to have a full midfield, Slot is still keen to work with Juventus to get former Manchester United target Rabiot. A deal for the Spain star is expected to be finalised in the next few days.

As Real Madrid shows interest in the England full defender and occasional midfielder Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is approaching the final year of his contract, Barcelona seems to be the latest team eager to speak with him. Additionally, Fabio Carvalho is about to finalise a transfer to Brentford, a Premier League competitor.

As the new Premier League season draws closer, these are the major transfer stories from Anfield.

Trent at ease

Liverpool is not worried about losing Trent Alexander-Arnold, even if Real Madrid and Barcelona are reportedly still interested in him.

With his contract with his boyhood club coming to an end, Alexander-Arnold has been drawing a lot of loving looks from Spain. The vice captain of Liverpool is holding all the cards and intends to wait to decide his destiny.

With Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool is in a similar predicament and is aware that something needs to be done. Even though none of their star players are demanding a transfer, there is some risk associated with the approach as the summer transfer window remains open until the end of August.

Liverpool keen on Rabiot 

Adrien Rabiot, a former Juventus free agent, has been added by Liverpool manager Arne Slot to his wanted list, which also includes Martin Zubimendi of Real Sociedad.

The Reds are almost at an agreement to sign defensive midfielder Zubimendi from Spain, which will need them to pay his £51.5 million buy-out.

The victor of the European Championship is who they want to replace No. 6. In the Euro 2024 final victory over England, Zubimendi came on as a halftime substitute for Manchester City’s Rodri, and he excelled on the biggest platform.

Carvalho goodbye

Liverpool and Brentford have reached an agreement to move Fabio Carvalho for up to £27.5 million.

Carvalho, 21, paid £7 million to join the Reds from Fulham in 2022. However, the Portugal under-21 international has found it difficult to integrate himself into the first team plans despite making a strong first impression, most notably scoring a thrilling late winner against Newcastle in his sixth outing for Liverpool.

And in a cunning move on the part of the Reds, Carvalho is scheduled to sign a permanent deal with Brentford before the end of the transfer window, despite having started and impressed in each of Liverpool’s four preseason friendlies in the US.
