Liverpool transfer news: the Reds face Federico Chiesa and struggle with £40 million transfer boost.

Federico Chiesa

Arne Slot has yet to complete a signing since being hired as Liverpool’s new manager, but the wheels look to be turning on the Reds’ summer business, with a number of players linked.

After taking over for Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, Arne Slot faces a daunting task. The Dutchman has been hired as the Reds’ new manager and is charged with keeping them at the top of the Premier League. In order to do so, he may need to add a few new players to his roster.

A number of players have been linked with moves to Anfield in the coming months, while some of the present squad could go.

With the transfer window ready to open in the coming days, business could potentially pick up. Check out all of the most recent Liverpool transfer rumours:

Liverpool in Chiesa race.

Federico Chiesa, a long-term objective for Liverpool, is in high demand this summer. The Italian has been supported to leave Juventus, and new manager Thiago Motta is not convinced.

Liverpool has been connected with him on several occasions in the past, and they had a big-money bid rejected two years ago. If they revive their interest, they may encounter competition this time around.

According to Tutto Juve, Arsenal has entered the hunt for the Italian’s signing. Newcastle also represents Premier League interest.

Liverpool get a Minteh boost.

Sticking with Newcastle, the Reds may make a bid for attacker Yankuba Minteh. The Telegraph reports that the Magpies may be compelled to sell him to comply with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability standards.

A cost of £40 million has already been placed on his head. Liverpool is one of the teams interested in signing him if Newcastle decides to sell.

Minteh spent the season on loan with old club Feyenoord, under new manager Slot. Italian and German clubs have also apparently expressed strong interest.

Manchester United is considering hijacking Koopmeiners Liverpool target.

On the issue of former players, Liverpool manager Slot might make a move for another former player, Teun Koopmeiners. The Dutchman appears to be planning his departure from Atalanta this summer.

While a move to Anfield appears to be the most apparent option, Koopmeiners is attracting interest from a variety of sources. Juventus are interested in signing him, and Liverpool’s rivals Manchester United may also bid for him.

According to Calciomercato, the Red Devils would be willing to pay roughly €60 million (£51 million) to get him to Old Trafford. Koopmeiners, 26, has three years remaining on his Atalanta contract.

Liverpool transfer news: the Reds face Federico Chiesa and struggle with £40 million transfer boost.

Joao Neves, a midfielder for Benfica, is reportedly being linked to Liverpool in a mega-money transfer.

According to reports, Liverpool will have competition this summer from Chelsea, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich in the fight for Benfica midfield player Joao Neves.

The 19-year-old midfielder’s breakout season, which saw him play in 55 games across all competitions, has been linked to a big-money move away from the Estadio da Luz.

Shortly after Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s minority ownership was disclosed in January, Neves was linked to a move to United; however, Benfica denied rumours that the Portugal international was in talks to move to Old Trafford.

O Jogo, however, claims that Neves will be the focus of an enormous financial bidding battle involving some of the best teams in Europe. The Reds, United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain are all rumoured to be interested in signing the 19-year-old. Liverpool and the other three Premier League teams are allegedly “leading the race” for the midfield player, though.

According to the article, if Neves were to leave Benfica this summer, the team would require any potential bidders to fulfil his £102.3 million release clause.

When asked in February about his future at Benfica, Neves responded, “Will you be staying at Benfica next year? Nothing about the upcoming season is guaranteed. Right now, I would like to remain at Benfica, but we shall see—you never know. His current deal with Benfica expires in 2028.
