Lfc transfer news LIVE:Ederson speaks Waldemar Anton’s and Joao Neves latest, Joe Gomez wanted

Waldemar Anton

Liverpool transfer news is live, as Arne Slot is expected to make signings during the summer window.

However, in order to fund the transactions, the Reds may have to release some players. Liverpool will soon be able to add to its team, with the summer transfer market just days away. It might be a busy few months following Arne Slot’s arrival.

The next Reds manager will enter pre-season without a slew of first-team players, but with a large Liverpool contingent at both Euro 2024 and Copa America. Luis Diaz will be among them, and he has spoken openly about his own future.

Slot and new sporting director Richard Hughes will have to make decisions on the futures of Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who are all out of contract in a year.

Transfer rumours are circulating on both the arriving and outgoing fronts, with Van Dijk’s international teammate appearing as a possible successor, while Liverpool may also make attacking reinforcements.

Liverpool ‘seeks information’ on Waldemar Anton

Liverpool has requested information about Stuttgart defender Waldemar Anton, according to SportBild.

The 27-year-old made his Germany debut this year. He led Stuttgart to an outstanding second-place finish, edging Bayern Munich on the final day.

Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund are also rumoured to be interested in Anton. He will be available for $24 million (£19 million/€22.5 million) thanks to a release provision in his contract.

Ederson speaks about Liverpool transfers.

Ederson, an Atalanta midfielder, has addressed the questions around his future. The defensive midfielder has been linked with Liverpool.

“I like Italy but I’m also curious about the Premier League,” he stated to AS.

“The only possibility to leave is if Atalanta receive a proposal and then… they decide, it’s up to Atalanta.”

Those remarks are guaranteed to fuel the flames of Liverpool connections. If Arne Slot decides to reinforce his midfield, a number six similar to Ederson appears to be the most likely signing.

Liverpool ‘increase’ bid for Joao Neves.

Liverpool has ‘identified’ Joao Neves as a key midfield target in the current transfer window. It will increase its efforts to sign the 19-year-old from Benfica.

That was reported in the print issue of the Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha, which Paisley Gates shared. A proposal is likely within the next several days.

However, there is thought to be a lot of interest. To that end, Benfica is unwilling to accept offers below the staggering $129 million release clause (£101 million/€120 million).

Joe Gomez is wanted by bayern Munich 

Vincent Kompany is targeting Joe Gomez when he takes over at Bayern Munich. That is according to the Mirror.

Kompany prioritises defensive additions, and he appreciates Gomez’s versatility. Last season, the 27-year-old featured across Liverpool’s backline.

Liverpool, for its side, regards him as a ‘hugely important player’ and is poised to issue a ‘hands-off caution’.

Ouedraogo to Leipzig.

Assan Ouedraogo is about to join RB Leipzig. The Bundesliga club intends to trigger his $11 million (£8 million/€10 million) release clause.

BILD recently connected Liverpool to the Schalke starlet. However, Florian Plettenberg claims that Leipzig has moved to finalise the agreement for the 18-year-old.

Ouedraogo will sign a deal till 2029. Leipzig want to analyse his performance in preseason before determining whether to loan him out, with a temporary return to Schalke being considered.

Newcastle and Chelsea both ‘pushed’ to hijack the transaction.
