Liverpool is reportedly mulling a late bid of up to £51 million for a winger

Although Liverpool supporters are still holding out for their first summer acquisition, this could soon change.

Martin Zubimendi, a midfielder for Real Sociedad, was on the verge of joining the Reds, but he turned down a move to Anfield.

After succeeding Jurgen Klopp in the summer, new manager Arne Slot will be looking to add players to the team as he moves into a transitional phase, even though he is content with his current roster.

Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over recently promoted Ipswich Town gave them the perfect start to their Premier League campaign.

Slot’s time at the club got off to a great start with goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah.

The team is currently concentrating on its transfer business and is thinking about making a late move for a player with a past relationship with Everton, their bitter rivals.

Liverpool is reportedly considering making an unexpected attempt to recruit Ademola Lookman, a winger for Atalanta, according to TBR Football.

The Nigerian winger, 26, was a member of Everton’s roster from 2017 to 2019.

After making little impression at Goodison Park, he moved to the Bundesliga in 2019 to join RB Leipzig.

He joined the Italian team Atalanta in the summer of 2022, and since then, he has played some of the best football of his career and made an impression on several other clubs.

Among the teams monitoring the player is Liverpool, who are prepared to bring him to Anfield to increase Slot’s attacking options.

The winger was forced to sit out Atalanta’s opening game of the season because of his unclear future, which is mostly tied to Paris Saint-Germain’s interest in him.

Ademola Lookman is a target for PSG and Liverpool.

The Nigerian winger has caught the attention of Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool, but Liverpool is reportedly the team with the greatest interest in him.

The player led the Italian team to victory in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen, captained by Xabi Alonso, with 17 goals in all competitions last season.

According to Calciomercato, the Italian team is anticipated to request €60 million (£51 million) in exchange for the former Everton player.

The player would give Liverpool’s attack more depth and quality, so the Reds shouldn’t have any trouble paying the stated amount.

They have ample financial resources to afford the Serie A star as they have not added any players this summer.
