Liverpool ‘make moves’ for Feyenoord star as Slot was told to prioritize his transfer

With the arrival of new head coach Arne Slot from the Dutch powerhouse Feyenoord, it was inevitable that Liverpool would be connected to a number of players during the summer transfer window.

Although Liverpool hasn’t made any transfers this summer, Richard Hughes, the team’s new sports director, still has plenty of time to close some deals. In a Friday speech, he and Arne Slot hinted that the Reds would be “opportunistic” in the market.

However, HITC claims that Liverpool has contacted Leeds United to find out how much a move for Crysencio Summerville may cost and Feyenoord to investigate a deal for Lutsharel Geertruida. Like Slot, both players are from the Netherlands, although only the former is in Germany for Euro 2024 right now.

Dirk Kuyt, a former player for Liverpool, has previously recommended that the Reds recruit Geertruida this summer. “I think Arne is very happy with the players who are already there, and I think he’s trying everything to keep as many players in as possible,” Kuyt stated to Ladbrokes 1-2-Free.

It’s difficult to go from Holland to England because the level is at least two steps higher. Thus, if you’re discussing Feyenoord players joining Arne at Liverpool, I believe Lutsharel Geertruida is the most likely candidate to do so.

“I think Lutsharel would fit in well with English football and would love to see him play in the Premier League.” He is physically strong, possesses excellent ball skills, and has the endurance to succeed in the Premier League.

“I get asked a lot about Dutch players I believe have what it takes to play in the Premier League, at Liverpool, and Lutsharel is unquestionably one of them. He should get the opportunity to play in the Premier League someday, ideally wearing a Liverpool jersey.”

Liverpool.com states that a transfer for Geertruida would only make sense if Trent Alexander-Arnold was going to move into midfield. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Conor Bradley are two great possibilities at full-back. This summer, with the short turnaround before the new season starts, that seems improbable.

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.
