The Brazilian Premier League defender says he’s open to joining Liverpool.

The defender for Nottingham Forest, Murillo, has stated in an open interview that he is open to joining any one of three Premier League teams, including Liverpool.

The Brazilian, who has only been at Forest for a year, has already made it known that he wants to play for “a big club” and that Liverpool is a team he “wouldn’t discard.”

The centre back for Forest, who played 34 times for the relegation-threatened team this season, has discussed how he views his current team as a stepping stone.

Murillo stated on the Benja Me Mucho podcast, according to liverpool.com: “I had the thought and the dream of playing in the Premier League.”

“I decided to go to Nottingham Forest, have a successful season, and then transfer to a major league team.”

“I was thinking about that. Manchester City is my choice, however considering their roster, it would be harder for me to start every game. “City and Arsenal are also competing for the Premier League title.”

The 22-year-old continued by mentioning Anfield as another possible location.

“I also wouldn’t rule out Liverpool,” he continued. “It would be a great chance for me to showcase my football skills in a major league.”

Thank you for not discounting us, Murillo, but before a transfer can take place, you must be desired by Liverpool, Manchester City, or Arsenal.

However, the Brazilian did mention that Chelsea had already expressed interest. There have also been earlier reports that Liverpool is “monitoring” the center-half.

Although it is known that Liverpool is searching for defenders during this transfer window, it is unclear if Murillo is a top priority for them.

Last summer, Forest invested roughly £15 million to get him as a young prospect from Corinthians. He started every week virtually right away.

His numbers don’t particularly stand out, as you might expect from a player on a team that is in danger of relegation, but he has shown improvement this season while dribbling the ball past opponents.

Sadly, though, he lacks strength in the air. Based on FBRef data, he has won 1.23 aerial duels per ninety minutes in the past year.

For that specific stat, he is among the bottom 10% of defenders in the top five leagues in Europe.

He was in the top three percent in one area where he excelled: clearances, as he produced 6.07 of them per 90.

However, some of that might be attributed to his always being on the defensive for his side. Because Virgil van Dijk plays higher up the pitch on average, he produced 3.97 clearances per 90.

Generally speaking, it doesn’t seem likely that Liverpool would give Murillo any thought right now.

The only conclusion that can be drawn from this interview is that, to the dismay of Forest supporters, he does not consider them to be “a big club.”

Ten players depart Liverpool as Arne Slot starts the post-Jurgen Klopp era’s makeover.

Ten players, including Thiago and Joel Matip, are departing Liverpool as the club approves the exits of many stars whose contracts at Anfield expired last month.

As Arne Slot takes over, the ten out-of-contract Liverpool players have now departed Anfield, with Thiago being one of the more well-known departures.

The Reds had already announced that a number of players, whose contracts were set to expire at the end of June, would not be staying at Anfield and would instead be moving on to new pastures. Slot started working recently and is currently reviewing the team that he took over from Jurgen Klopp.

After a spell of injuries on Merseyside, Thiago, who originally signed with Bayern Munich in 2020, was granted permission to depart. The Spaniard was supposed to do a lot, and while he occasionally lived up to the expectations, he never did.

The other well-known figure who has been let to depart is Joel Matip. The Cameroonian was one of the players that joined Virgil van Dijk at the centre of defence during the team’s victory in the 2019 Champions League final. But just like Thiago, he was always getting hurt.

After Matip’s years of service, Klopp had stated he hoped Liverpool would offer him a new contract, but that hasn’t happened. “I’m pretty sure the club will show their class, just as they should,” he stated. “I believe they have already informed Joel that whatever occurs, as long as he is hurt, everything will be OK. We now need to decide with Joel what to do next.

That’s a typical action, but he deserves all of our support, and he will receive it. Although I would argue that he merits a new contract, it is not my choice. I am unable to sign these documents.”

Other academy talents Mateusz Musialowski, Adam Lewis, and Melkamu Frauendorf have also been granted permission to depart. Lewis made his first-team debut in an FA Cup replay against Shrewsbury Town in February 2020, but he had spent the previous four seasons on loan. All three of the players have represented the senior team. Frauendorf’s debut versus Shrewsbury was also her first start. Musialowski was out for the first time this year in March.

Other academy players who have left Liverpool include Nathan Giblin, Francis Gyimah, Luke Hewitson, Niall Osborne, and Cody Pennington. They’ll have to look for work somewhere else. In his first summer, Slot has a few more important decisions to make.

Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah’s futures are still up for debate. Clubs in Saudi Arabia are interested in Salah because he can still cost a high fee, while Nunez has struggled to score on a consistent basis even after signing for a high price.

Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip, Adam Lewis, Melkamu Frauendorf, Mateusz Musialowski, Nathan Giblin, Francis Gyimah, Luke Hewitson, Niall Osborne, and Cody Pennington are the entire list of Liverpool players who have left.

July 3, 2024
Ten Liverpool players are departing as part of Arne Slot’s summer transfer plan.

After losing a number of squad members, Liverpool will be trying to finish deals this summer.

Ten players who have reached the end of their Liverpool career will say goodbye to the club today. Contacts usually end on June 30, as is customary throughout the English top flight.

Now that this day has arrived, the Reds will formally say goodbye to several people who were once part of their organisation.

At the first team level, Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara are now unrestricted free agents and will not have their contracts extended. During their tenure on Merseyside, both players have experienced their fair share of injury issues, which probably had an impact on the decision about their future.

Adrian is another player whose contract expires today; he has been extended an offer. What will happen next with the Spaniard, who has allegedly agreed to return to his boyhood club Real Betis, is still unknown at this time. The 37-year-old may still stay at Anfield, however this is not definite.

Adam Lewis, Mateusz Musialowski, and Melkamu Frauendorf—all of whom have played senior level for the club—are making their way out the door at the Academy level. While Musialowski had to wait until March of this year for his chance after being used from the bench in a Europa League victory over Sparta Prague, Lewis made his first-team debut in an FA Cup replay against Shrewsbury Town in February 2020 but has spent the last four seasons out on loan. Frauendorf also made their maiden start against Shrewsbury, though it was in January 2022.

The club chose not to extend terms with the young players, therefore fellow Academy players Nathan Giblin, Francis Gyimah, Luke Hewitson, Niall Osborne, and Cody Pennington will also be starting new chapters in their lives as of right now. Goalkeepers Jacob Poytress and Reece Trueman have been given the chance to continue their career with the team, just like Adrian did, but there has been no update regarding their commitment to this choice.

RB Leipzig is interested in Liverpool midfielder as clubs are looking for summer transfer

The most recent transfer rumours from Liverpool indicate that 21-year-old Tyler Morton is drawing attention from across the continent for the summer.

According to reports, RB Leipzig and other European teams are interested in signing Tyler Morton, a midfield player for Liverpool, on a permanent summer transfer.

Morton, 21, a Wirral native, joined the Reds academy at the age of seven and appeared in nine first-team games under Jurgen Klopp. The last was in March 2022 and as roads into a regular starting berth are often restricted at Anfield, he has exploited Championship loans to get the majority of his senior experience to far.

His first term away from the club was with Blackburn Rovers, turning out 46 times for the Lancashire club, then last season he enjoyed playing a crucial position in the engine room of Liam Rosenior’s Hull City side, who nearly lost out on the play-offs. The Liverpool loanee’s achievements were rewarded when he scooped up the division’s young player of the month award in December.

Under new head coach Arne Slot, Morton is scheduled to return to Merseyside for preseason training. However, The Times reports that he may be traded soon after, as many prominent teams are reportedly interested in signing him to a long-term contract this summer.

Leading the charge is RB Leipzig, who have experience doing business with Anfield executives. The two teams worked out a £60 million deal for Dominik Szoboszlai last summer, and then they had a less than ideal loan experience with Fabio Carvalho.

Along with unidentified Premier League rivals, the article claims clubs “the calibre of Sevilla, Feyenoord, Eintracht Frankfurt” are also interested in the midfield player.

It is reported ‘nearly every’ Championship club would like to take Morton on loan for the season ahead also, yet it is now the player’s wish to advance his career at the next level. He last renewed his Liverpool contract in January 2023, and his exit is believed to hinge on the club’s evaluation of valuation, Slot’s perceptions once pre-season training is begun and lastly Morton’s own plans.

June 30, 2024
The Euro 2024 midfielder is viewed by Liverpool as a player who can balance the midfield.

Joshua Kimmich, 29, of Bayern Munich, is reportedly a target for Liverpool to join this summer.

Arsenal, Manchester City, and Barcelona will compete with Liverpool to sign him. Tutto Juve claims that the midfield player is amenable to leaving the German powerhouses.

Kimmich’s exit from the Merseyside club appears likely, as new manager Arne Slot is hoping to recruit a midfield player during the transfer season.

Following Jurgen Klopp’s exit, the Reds will support their new manager in their efforts to bolster the roster and make additions.

Liverpool is prepared to sign a midfield player this summer, even though they made midfield additions last summer in response to the departures of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson.

Despite the fact that Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, and other recent arrivals have given the Reds more midfield depth, they still believe that they need a midfield player who can play at the base, directly in front of the defence.

The Bayern Munich star Kimmich is seen by the Reds as the guy who can provide them stability in the middle of the park.

Kimmich would also provide the team more versatility because he can play right back as well.

A star from Bayern may be the perfect addition to Liverpool.

As a result, Liverpool would have more choices for the manager and the team to rotate between Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kimmich at full-back and midfield, respectively.

Premier League rivals Arsenal and Manchester City are vying for Kimmich’s signature, and former Bayern manager Hansi Flick is eager to work with Kimmich again at Camp Nou.

After Klopp leaves, the Reds would gain the experience they need and a winning attitude by signing someone like Kimmich.

He should be available in a cheap contract because he will be a free agent come summertime.

Liverpool’s Joe Gomez position as Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany considers a transfer raid

Vincent Kompany wants Joe Gomez to join Bayern Munich. Liverpool is understood to have a defined transfer strategy ahead of the window’s opening on Saturday.

Liverpool plans to take a tough position on Joe Gomez this summer. It comes amid reports of transfer interest from Bayern Munich, who are now led by Vincent Kompany.

Gomez had a good final season under Jurgen Klopp, playing the most minutes in a single season since joining Virgil van Dijk in the title-winning defence. However, he had to be a jack of all trades, featuring on the defence line and even in midfield. His adaptability has earned him a call-up to the England squad for the Euros.

It might also be beneficial to incoming manager Arne Slot; however, with Gomez still not first choice at any position, interest from Bayern Munich will force a decision.

Liverpool is prepared to make that decision for everyone else. According to the Mirror, the club considers Gomez one of its most valued players and is planning to deliver a ‘strong hands-off warning’.

It is expected that he will be a key player under Slot. Whether this means he’s expected to compete for a starting spot remains to be seen, but Liverpool probably believes it will be hard to obtain comparable high-level defensive depth for the money Kompany and Bayern are willing to spend.

Barring a spectacular U-turn by Liverpool, Bayern Munich will have to search elsewhere. It is apparently interested in Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah.

Liverpool shares Kompany’s admiration for Chelsea’s Levi Colwill. But both are likely to be disappointed, as the Blues are once again unwilling to move the defender.

According to Liverpool.com: Liverpool has taken a totally logical attitude. A huge offer could put it to the test, but unless something amazing comes up, it makes no sense to deprive Slot of such a valuable squad member.

The other variable is Gomez’s personal position. He was likely content with the minutes he received last season, but he may still be looking for a starting role someplace, especially if he prefers to play center-back in the future.

Hopefully, he will be satisfied to continue playing a key part for Liverpool. It has just been made quite obvious how highly the club regards him, and with any luck, it is reasonable to expect Gomez to play a significant role under Slot.

Reds Pushing’ to sign Alisson transfer replacement

The most recent reports and news regarding transfers involving Liverpool, as the team is still connected to several players competing in Germany this summer’s European

Championship Since Adrian’s contract expires this weekend, he will probably depart Liverpool, and in the upcoming months, another goalkeeper join Anfield.

In the group stages of the European Championship, Giorgi Mamardashvili made more saves than any other goalkeeper, enabling Georgia to advance to the round of 16. The custodian has played for Valencia for the past three seasons. Earlier this month, Newcastle United reportedly had a proposal of £21 million rejected by the Spanish team.

Along with the North East team, Chelsea is reportedly interested in the 23-year-old as well. Goalkeepers are reportedly in high demand from both teams this summer.

But according to MARCA, Liverpool is now the front-runner to sign Mamardashvili. They assert that this is as a result of Al-Nassr, a Saudi Pro League team, showing interest in Alisson.

The Spanish publication says that Saudi Arabia has made the Reds an offer. That is purportedly the cause of any attention shown for Valencia’s goalkeeper.

Caoimhin Kelleher, who acknowledged earlier this month that he wants to talk with Arne Slot before making a decision on his future, may also depart Anfield this summer in search of more first-team football. Dean Huijsen, a centre defender for Juventus, is one player that is anticipated to depart the team this summer.

The Spain under-21 international, who was on loan at Roma for the second half of the previous season, is apparently of interest to Liverpool. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Turin-based team has set a price tag of £21 million plus add-ons for the player and is prepared to sell.

In this most recent story, the Italian journalist notes that other clubs who shall remain nameless are interested but does not name the Reds. Liverpool reportedly asked Tutto Juve about the player’s availability in the past. According to reports, the Dutch defender, who went to Spain when he was five years old and later joined Juventus as a teenager, is also of interest to Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle.

current transfer rumours surrounding Liverpool as the team looks to bolster its roster this summer under new manager

Arne Slot As Liverpool gets ready for a new chapter under Arne Slot, all eyes are on the summer transfer market.

The Reds are in for an interesting moment now that they have a new manager in charge for the first time since Brendan Rodgers was replaced by Jurgen Klopp in October 2015. On August 17, Slot’s team will go to Ipswich Town to open their Premier League campaign with the hopes of making a strong start.

Additionally, the Reds are also monitoring Jamal Musiala’s current circumstances at Bayern Munich, according to our friends at the Mirror. He reportedly believes that the Premier League is the next phase of his career.

With two goals scored by Germany thus far at Euro 2024, the aggressive midfielder has already had a major impact. Musiala has reportedly turned down a new £150,000-per-week contract from Bayern, but he has chosen to remain open to other options. The German star is reportedly attracting interest from Chelsea and Manchester City as well.

The 21-year-old will reportedly cost at least £80 million; he still has two years left on his current Bayern contract. In addition, his estimated weekly salary is in the region of £200,000.

According to reports elsewhere, Liverpool is reportedly considering Wolves left-back Rayan Aït-Nouri, with interest also expressed by Man City and Chelsea, according to the Algerian media outlet La Gazette du Fennec.

According to reports, the 23-year-old is prepared to advance in his career by joining a Champions League team. Throughout the previous season, Aït-Nouri was a constant in Wolves’ defence, making 38 appearances in all competitions as Gary O’Neil’s team placed 14th in the Premier League.

June 30, 2024
Saudi Arabia is preparing a significant charm drive for the “quick” Liverpool colossus, who may depart this summer.

Virgil van Dijk might leave Liverpool during the summer transfer window.

His present terms are scheduled to expire in June 2025, and according to sources close to CaughtOffside, there is no progress being made on an extension.

The Dutchman is still a top target for the Saudi Pro League, though. In the upcoming weeks, the Public Investment Fund will meet with the defender’s representatives to evaluate the viability of a transfer.

Who would be curious about Virgil van Dijk?

Al-Nassr, the team starring Cristiano Ronaldo, is one of the most eager clubs. The Saudi team wants to let go of Aymeric Laporte and is thinking of signing Van Dijk and Marquinhos should the former Manchester City player depart.

The Brazilian had previously consented to personal terms last summer, but PSG turned down an offer to sign him.

The league is eager to find out if the “fast” (as Antoine Semenyo defined) Liverpool mainstay is interested in moving to the Middle East, although no formal bid has yet been made.

Liverpool want to hold off until after the Euros.

In the end, Liverpool is waiting until after June and the international competitions, much like many other elite European teams, to make decisions about the futures of their important players.

Van Dijk is now focusing on competing for his country in the 2024 European Championship. We will have more conversations with his delegates in the coming weeks.

According to people with direct knowledge of the matter, Saudi Arabia is prepared to do all it takes to convince the former Southampton player to sign.

The dream Liverpool team of Arne Slot with nine departures, Riccardo Calafiori and three new arrivals

As Liverpool’s players return back for pre-season training next week, Arne Slot will soon get to know his new teammates. He hopes to bring in some new players.

In the next months, Arne Slot, the new head coach of Liverpool, will have a lot of decisions to make, including meeting his new team for the first time.

Next Monday, the first group of players—mostly the club’s youth players and those not playing for their countries this summer—are scheduled to return to the AXA Training Centre. Stars from Copa America or Euro 2024 will follow later, while the Olympics could throw another wrench in the works.

In any case, Slot will have the chance to manage his new teammates and make some crucial choices that will affect several of them in the future. Some might very well leave Anfield for the 2024–2025 season, while others might be headed for a more permanent relocation.

A list of 10 such players who might be moving this summer has been put together by The Daily Mail. Young players Bobby Clark, James McConnell, and Luke Chambers are among those rumoured to be going on loan to gain more experience on the pitch.

Sepp van den Berg, Adrian, and Nat Phillips are the ones most likely to be moved on permanently out of the group. Meanwhile, Fabio Carvalho is said to have a list of suitors from England, Germany, France, Spain, and the Netherlands, and Tyler Morton is allegedly of interest to RB Leipzig.

Additionally noted as potential exits are Kostas Tsimikas and Caoimhin Kelleher. In a perfect world, Liverpool could hang onto the former, but it would be very reasonable if he decided to move elsewhere for his shot at the top spot. In regards to Tsimikas, the Greek international may not be able to unseat Andy Robertson as the starting left-back, and his future may depend on the actions taken by the Reds.

In relation to that, one name has garnered a lot of attention during the past few weeks. In a number of ways, Riccardo Calafiori has drawn attention for Italy at Euro 2024 following an outstanding Serie A season with Bologna.

Liverpool is reportedly one of several teams who have contacted The Athletic regarding his services. Although Liverpool won’t be the only team showing interest, if it can prevail in the competition for the $32 million defender, he would not only provide insurance at left defence and address the Reds’ need to let go of Tsimikas.

If Adrian needs a new custodian, Vitezslav Jaros or Fabian Mrozek, who is presently playing for the Czech Republic at Euro 2024, would be able to step up to the senior team. Though we hope he doesn’t, Slot will be extremely familiar with Feyenoord’s Justin Bijlow, who would make an excellent backup to Alisson should Kelleher leave.

After the rebuilding last year, the midfield appears much more established, yet a new number six would still fit in very nicely. Ederson of Atalanta has been connected, and ideally Liverpool will move when his Brazil commitments end this summer.

Ultimately, there is a lot of conjecture among the strikers, but ideally this summer, Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz will remain in their current positions, and they might be joined by another newcomer. Johan Bakayoko, who is only 21 years old, may be the perfect candidate to someday supplant Salah on the right and round out Slot’s dream team, even though we haven’t seen much of him at the Euros yet.

Goalkeepers: Alisson, Kelleher, Bijlow

Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Bradley, Gomez, Konate, Calafiori, Robertson, Quansah

Midfielders: Ederson, Szoboszlai, Jones, Gravenberch, Elliott, Endo, Mac Allister

Forwards: Salah, Nunez, Gakpo, Diaz, Bakayoko, Jota

The agent delivers a transfer update as Liverpool target Yankuba Minteh “agrees personal terms.”

Newcastle winger Yankuba Minteh, who trained under Arne Slot at Feyenoord this summer, has been linked to Liverpool. There are “agreed terms” with a new club, according to the player’s agent.

This summer, Liverpool has been connected to wide forward after wide forward. According to The Athletic, the Reds will be searching for a man to fill that role during the transfer window.

The Reds reportedly have players like Nico Williams and Xavi Simons on their radar. They haven’t played under Arne Slot, Liverpool’s new head coach, whether it is true or not. While on loan at Feyenoord from Newcastle this season, Yankuba Minteh is reportedly another winger who might end up at Anfield before you know it.

Whether he is headed to Liverpool or not, the 19-year-old is probably going to be moving this summer. According to his agent Bakary Bojang, who spoke with Chronicle Live, a Newcastle-based publication, Minteh’s team has “agreed terms” abroad. Has Richard Hughes spent his weekend negotiating a deal?

It looks like things are going swiftly. Minteh’s representative initially provided Chronicle Live with an update on Saturday morning. Bojang stated, “It is true that Newcastle is willing to sell the player if they receive a good offer.” “We will certainly take a look at it if Newcastle wishes to sell and the sporting project is good.” We are in contact with a few other clubs.”

However, by the evening, it seemed as though the player had a satisfactory money deal on the table. “I am unable to verify the clubs that are in contact with us. With one of the clubs, we have an agreement in place. Thus, Newcastle now has the remainder, according to Bojang.

The club that seems to be in the driver’s seat to sign Minteh will be the subject of fan speculation. It is known that he played for Slot or his assistant, Sipke Hulshoff, in 37 of his 54 senior games. They are already connected.

In March, Rondo heard glowing remarks about the young player from Liverpool’s new manager. Slot remarked, “That is a huge weapon if you are that fast.” “He will disappear after just one action, and you won’t be able to find him again. In the last stage, I believe his selections are already getting better. The unfortunate part for us is that he most likely won’t play for us if he starts making extremely good decisions,” he said. Even though that has come to pass, a reunion might occur far sooner than Slot would have thought three months ago.

According to Sky Sports, Everton is interested in Minteh as part of a deal to bring Dominic Calvert-Lewin to Newcastle this summer, although those talks are still ongoing.

According to Liverpool.com, comments; Could Liverpool be the team that has reached an agreement on terms? All we can do is speculate. However, it seems like a realistic move the Reds may make this summer, so we’ll need to closely monitor what transpires.

RB Leipzig is interested in Liverpool midfielder as clubs are looking for summer transfer

The most recent transfer rumours from Liverpool indicate that 21-year-old Tyler Morton is drawing attention from across the continent for the summer.

According to reports, RB Leipzig and other European teams are interested in signing Tyler Morton, a midfield player for Liverpool, on a permanent summer transfer.

Liverpool’s Joe Gomez position as Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany considers a transfer raid

According to Liverpool.com: Liverpool has taken a totally logical attitude. A huge offer could put it to the test, but unless something amazing comes up, it makes no sense to deprive Slot of such a valuable squad member.

The other variable is Gomez’s personal position. He was likely content with the minutes he received last season, but he may still be looking for a starting role someplace, especially if he prefers to play center-back in the future.

Hopefully, he will be satisfied to continue playing a key part for Liverpool. It has just been made quite obvious how highly the club regards him, and with any luck, it is reasonable to expect Gomez to play a significant role under Slot.

Thanks to Kylian Mbappe, as Liverpool is ‘planning’ a double Real Madrid attack.

Ahead of Arne Slot’s debut season at Anfield, Liverpool has big intentions in the transfer market this summer.

Two Real Madrid players are on their radar following Kylian Mbappe’s move to Spain. Liverpool wants to take advantage of Kylian Mbappe’s sensational transfer to the Spanish city by recruiting Real Madrid players Rodrygo and Arda Guler this summer.

The former PSG star Mbappe will be joining an attacking group that already includes Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham, making competition for spots in Los Blancos’ starting three next season intense. New Liverpool manager Arne Slot and returning CEO Michael Edwards will be looking to take advantage of the surplus, with the Brazilian and Turkish players in particular.

Real manager Carlo Ancelotti’s attacking options will be further enhanced by the impending arrival of teenage sensation Endrick from Palmeiras, giving Anfield fans hope that a trade for Rodrygo or Guler may be possible this summer. The Reds are evaluating the likelihood of reaching an agreement, according to Estadio Deportivo, however it’s still uncertain if Real will comply at this time.

With 15 goals and 8 assists in 47 appearances in the competitions last season, Rodrygo, 23, was a key player in Real Madrid’s victories in both La Liga and the Champions League. Guler, on the other hand, was much more of a supporting cast member, but the 19-year-old winger nevertheless left his imprint, tallying six goals in ten La Liga games.

With a strike from long range that hit the top corner to seal Turkey’s victory over Georgia in Dortmund on Tuesday, the teenager has emerged as a breakthrough hero of Euro 2024.

When Slot becomes leadership at Anfield, both players would be a huge asset to his offensive options. Restocking the attacking ranks is a top priority for Slot and Edwards this summer if the Reds are to compete for the Premier League title, with Diogo Jota sidelined by injuries, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and Luis Diaz struggling for form, and Mohamed Salah’s abilities waning as he approaches 32.

Although a move for Guler seems optimistic, considering Madrid doesn’t seem to be under any pressure to let go of such a phenomenal young prospect, a move for Rodrygo seems more realistic. He may be moved out of Ancelotti’s starting lineup at the Santiago Bernabeu as he approaches his prime.

The 23-cap Brazil international may be drawn to a new challenge and a more prominent role given his three La Liga crowns and two Champions Leagues. UOL reports that Rodrygo may be forced to leave the Bernabeu this summer in order to prevent the possibility of a disappointing campaign in which he spends a lot of time on the bench.

The departures of center-back Joel Matip and midfielder Thiago on free transfers were confirmed at the end of the last campaign, meaning the Reds have not yet made their first summer acquisition.
