Liverpool strikes a multi-year agreement while new rivals vie for the same transfer “target”

Current Liverpool transfer rumours and news, including information on Odilon Kossounou, a defender for Bayer Leverkusen, and the club’s agreement to a “multi-year” contract.

There is not much time left for Liverpool to finalise their transfer plans before Arne Slot’s debut campaign begins. In the Anfield dugout, Slot was named the next Reds head coach to take over for Jurgen Klopp.

There have been many whispers this summer transfer season, but Liverpool has not received any new business. The Liverpool team that Slot took over from Klopp earlier in the summer has not seen any significant additions.

The summer transfer market shuts on Friday of next week and remains open until the New Year for Liverpool. It’s unclear if any new recruits will join Anfield before the transfer window closes.

The ECHO has compiled a list of some of the most recent Liverpool stories that have made headlines in the past 24 hours.

Newcastle and Liverpool compete in transfers.

It looks like Liverpool will have competition this summer to sign one of their purported transfer targets.

Odilon Kossounou, a defender for Bayer Leverkusen, is rumoured to be a target for the Reds this summer. Nevertheless, Kicker claims that Newcastle has entered the competition to recruit the centre back before to the window closing.

It seems like Newcastle is getting closer to acquiring Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi. According to the report, Kossounou—who was once identified as a Liverpool target—has become a target for the St. James’ Park team, who may face competition from the Reds for his services.

Liverpool agree a “multi-year” contract.

Liverpool has announced that Ladbrokes has agreed to become the team’s official betting partner.

It has been said that the deal is a “multi-year partnership” in which Liverpool and the bookmaker would provide supporters with various options. During the upcoming season, Anfield matches will feature the Ladbrokes logo at the pitchside, visible to supporters.

Ben Latty, Liverpool’s chief commercial officer, stated on the team website that “Ladbrokes is one of the most reputable and well-established high-street betting firms, and we’re delighted to welcome them to the Liverpool partner family.”

“With this new partnership, Ladbrokes can further advance its local community work, leveraging football to improve mental and physical health, especially in high-social-deprivation areas.”

Liverpool defender is close to signing a potential £20 million contract to join Brentford

Sepp Van Den Berg is allegedly on the verge of being sold by Liverpool.

Thomas Frank’s Brentford has been eyeing the 22-year-old for some time, and the Bees have expressed interest in signing him before the summer transfer deadline, which is at the end of the month.

David Ornstein of The Athletic has reported that Van Den Berg is expected to sign a long-term contract to depart Anfield.

The Dutch centre back might move on in quest of a fresh challenge if the Reds are successful in meeting their £20 million value.

Sepp Van Den Berg is about to depart from Liverpool

Van Den Berg, who enjoyed loan stints with Preston North End, Schalke, and Mainz after joining Liverpool from PEC Zwolle as a young player back in 2019, now appears likely to sign a permanent deal with a new team.

Van Den Berg hasn’t played for the team in more than five years, and it’s obvious that he has no position in the starting lineup going forward. However, the story with the Bees might be somewhat different.

Frank’s team seems to be the most frequently associated with Liverpool’s number 72, and they may formally bid on the player before the transfer window closes.
