Liverpool is “deeply contemplating” £51 million hijack Zubimendi alternative 

In addition to having one of the finest starts to the season, Liverpool has had one of the least exciting transfer windows.

To yet, the Reds have not made a single summer acquisition. Arne Slot is apparently looking to make a last-minute move for a crucial midfield player, though, with four days remaining before Friday night’s deadline.

The playmaker’s decision to remain with his childhood club eliminated any hope the Reds had of getting the Spaniard to the Premier League. The Merseyside giants had been close to signing Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad earlier in the transfer season.

Liverpool is thinking about snatching the Juventus contract.

And now that they’re searching for a substitute, Teun Koopmeiners of Atalanta has been recognised by Liverpool as a late option, per a recent Fichajes article.

Koopmeiners is almost certain to sign with Juventus, which presents an issue for any potential signing. Thiago Motta has the 26-year-old as one of his top targets, and he had seemed set to play at the Allianz until recently.

But Liverpool is in a better financial position to take advantage of the midfielder’s planned transfer to Turin, as Atalanta is willing to demand a large portion of Liverpool’s £51 million valuation up front.

A excerpt from the outlet’s report stated, “Liverpool are seriously considering a last-minute move to sign Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners in a bid to bolster their midfield before the transfer window closes.”

This, together with the fact that Atalanta’s immediate league adversary, the Old Lady, will very certainly cause the Italian team to choose a deal with Liverpool.

Koopmeiners, who still has three years left on his contract, has played in 129 games across all competitions for Atalanta, scoring 29 goals and dishing out 15 assists in his three years there. The 27-year-old played for Atalanta last season when they defeated Bayer Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso’s leadership in the Europa League.

Arsenal “prepares” a £42 million bid while Liverpool “watches” Ademola Lookman transfer developments

Ademola Lookman, a winger for Atalanta, is apparently attracting interest from Liverpool. The only Premier League team without a summer addition is the Reds. Lookman, who made an impression for Atalanta the previous season, has been connected to the Reds.

The 26-year-old really made 45 appearances in all competitions, scoring 17 goals and dishing out 10 assists. This included defeating Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final in May and scoring a hat-trick.

Journalist Alfredo Pedulla reports that Liverpool is “in background” monitoring developments and that the Reds are interested in signing Lookman this month. The same source, however, asserts that Arsenal is leading the race to capture Lookman, with the Gunners planning a £42.6 million bid in addition to the potential to use out-of-favor defender Jakub Kiwior in any move. A loan-to-buy agreement is purportedly another choice.

Lookman is valued by Atlanta between £55 and £60 million, and they do not want to lose such a valuable player before the transfer window closes. But Lookman, who was left out of their Serie A opener against Lecce on Monday at his own request, is eager to leave the Bergamo club. In an effort to pressure the club into letting him leave, he reportedly declined to take part in practice on Wednesday as well, according to Sportitalia.

Lookman possesses a wealth of Premier League experience. The 26-year-old, who made his Premier League debut with Everton, last played in the top division with Leicester during a fruitful loan period in the 2021–2022 campaign. Lookman also scored in a 1-0 victory for the Foxes against Liverpool during that campaign.
