As the Romeo Lavia transfer “edges closer,” Liverpool is “obsessed” with acquiring a Real Madrid midfielder.

In addition to updates on Jordan Henderson, Thiago, Fede Valverde, Romeo Lavia, and Cheick Doucoure, the most recent Liverpool transfer rumors include the Reds having contacted Kylian Mbappe.

Jordan Henderson, a midfielder for Liverpool, is getting closer to leaving Anfield this summer, but this has only fueled speculation about his replacements.

The 33-year-old finished his medical on Friday in Manchester in preparation for a £12 million transfer to Al Ettifaq. With the departure of Henderson, Steven Gerrard, the captain he took over for the Reds, would begin a new chapter in his 12-year career.

Fabinho, his midfield partner, is also the subject of speculation regarding his future. The Brazilian was not part of Jurgen Klopp’s team that left for Germany because Al Ittihad, another team from the Saudi Pro League, offered £40 million for his services.

Bayern Munich is reportedly keeping an eye on the agreement between Nuno Espirito Santo’s team and Liverpool in case negotiations fail.

Given the ongoing rumors about Liverpool, Kylian Mbappe’s future is still unknown. And as the Reds prepare to lose two more midfield players, rumors about their replacements are still rife.

Kylian Mbappé.

Liverpool is reportedly interested in signing free agent striker Kylian Mbappe, according to Football Transfers.

As his future with the Ligue 1 team is still up in the air, the PSG forward is entangled in yet another saga. Mbappe has already made it clear that he doesn’t want to stay with the Parisiens past 2024, which has sparked more rumors and ultimately led the team to leave the striker off of their tour of Japan.

Apparently, Liverpool has spoken to Mbappe’s agents about the transfer, according to Football Transfers. However, they lack the financial resources necessary to compete with teams like Arsenal, who are also rumored to be interested.

The move for the striker is economically out of Liverpool’s league, according to the report, which is consistent with an admission made by Ian Graham, the Reds’ former director of research.

Spanish media outlets like SPORT have reported that PSG is willing to consider offers for the forward this summer. Real Madrid is widely believed to be the front-runner, but Sport has added that Mbappe has also been contacted by Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur.

The France international’s contract will expire next summer, according to L’Equipe, and Real Madrid is content to wait until then.

Fede Valverde

El Nacional claims that Liverpool may rekindle their interest in Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde.

In a highly publicized saga involving the PSG star, Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid is reportedly interested. The exclusion of the Frenchman from their tour of Japan is said to have left the door open for a relocation to Los Blancos.

Romeo Lavia.

Romeo Lavia is reportedly being considered by Liverpool, according to Fabrizio Romano.

He claims that Jurgen Klopp’s team is trying to “understand” a deal’s price, but he is not the only player on their list of targets. Nevertheless, it has been reported that Liverpool is actively pursuing him and is negotiating a deal to bring him to Anfield.

Romeo Lavia may be acquired by Liverpool by the end of the month, according to other reports.

That’s from Football Insider. They assert that the Southampton midfielder’s future at St Mary’s is still up in the air and that the Reds are still in contact with him.

When it comes to the transfer rumors surrounding the 19-year-old Belgian, Liverpool has consistently been brought up in the discussion.

It has been suggested that the midfielder could be of interest to London clubs Chelsea and Arsenal.

The futures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho appear to be set away from Merseyside, according to Football Insider, so Jurgen Klopp may bring in two midfielders.

Cheikh Doucoure.

According to Football Insider, Liverpool has not yet contacted Crystal Palace about signing midfielder Cheick Doucoure.

Following midfield arrivals in the capital by Chelsea and Arsenal, who each spent a significant amount of money on Enzo Fernandez and Declan Rice, it has been suggested that the Reds may be required to pay more than £50 million.

The reported £70 million price tag for the former Lens midfielder, according to Neil Jones, is “excessive,” he writes in his substack. But Liverpool is currently interested in both Romeo Lavia and Doucoure, with the latter being a player to “keep an eye on.”.

Thiago Alcantara

The rumors that Thiago Alcantara might leave Liverpool aren’t going away. Many La Liga teams are keeping an eye on the developments surrounding the Spaniard’s future at Anfield, according to Marca via SportBILD.

Thiago is reportedly attracting interest from Real Sociedad and Sevilla, but Sociedad are currently in the lead. David Silva, a former playmaker for Manchester City, had to retire from professional football due to injury, leaving a void in Txuri-Urdinak’s midfield.

At Anfield, Thiago’s current contract has one year left to run. He has been the subject of speculation regarding his future as clubs from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and now Spain have been mentioned.
