LFC transfers news: Reds start discussions as the deadline draws near as Arne Slot provides an update

With just over three weeks remaining in the transfer window, Arne Slot needs to bring in a new player, and Richard Hughes needs to work, so Liverpool has work to do.

Liverpool has not added a new player in the eleven days before the start of the Premier League season.

Few would have predicted that no business would be done at all, but Arne Slot, the new manager, was pleased with the team that Klopp had given him. But even while the athletic hierarchy searches the market, the Dutch coach seems happy enough to continue working with his team.

Players from all over the pitch have been connected to the Reds in an effort to strengthen any shortcomings. Perhaps more than most in recent weeks, Anthony Gordon has caused people’s tongues to wag.

However, Liverpool might have a higher chance of having players move aside first. Having said that, Mirror Football examines the most recent transfer rumours pertaining to the team.

Liverpool and Leicester begin negotiations

In the upcoming weeks, Liverpool might find it easier to arrange a departure. The Premier League is interested in Fabio Carvalho, who was on loan at RB Leipzig and Hull City last season.

Russell Martin, the Southampton manager, has acknowledged having previously discussed the Fulham academy product. The Saints are rumoured to have previously made an offer that the Reds turned down.

We have always appreciated this player. We spoke in January, but for various reasons we were unable to complete the task,” Martin stated to Sky Sports. “In that position, we were really strong. He went to Hull and excelled there. We are connected, and this time of year there are a lot of rumours circulating.

“So, we’ve been connected to a number of players—some wholly false, others wholly accurate. I appreciate and respect him as a player, and I’m sure many other managers feel the same way. Other than that, I don’t think I have any further knowledge on it at this time.”

It is now said that Leicester City has started negotiations to sign the 21-year-old. If they can convince more people than Southampton, that is yet to be determined.

Transfer news is delivered by Arne Slot.

Slot’s comments definitely won’t reassure anyone who is hoping for a transfer. The former manager of Feyenoord has hinted that it is getting harder to get a good deal.

Nonetheless, the Dutchman insisted that sports director Richard Hughes was working diligently to bolster the team. The players have a high standard to meet.

“The bar is really high for new signings because we have so many good players so it is not so easy to first find a player to meet those standards and then is he available?” Slot stated. It’s not always simple to locate a player who can assist us, but Richard is putting a lot of effort into it. Let’s see where this goes. “Then we have to find an agreement with them.”

The club is undoubtedly still open for business. Slot said, “But a team like Liverpool never stops looking for players who can bolster the team, and that is what we – Richard mostly, but me too – are aiming to achieve, but that is not specific to one position. We are always assessing the team to see where we can make improvements and what we have.”

Arne Slot delivers transfer update

According to Football Insider, Liverpool decided that a move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi was too costly. The England international is expected to want a salary well above £60 million, and it seems unlikely that the Reds will be able to afford it by the end of the month.

Newcastle has a better chance of reaching a deal with the Eagles. According to The Telegraph, Guehi might join Newcastle by the weekend.
