Liverpool Transfer News LIVE – Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Move to Real Madrid ‘Confirmed’ Amid Ongoing Contract Negotiations

The latest updates from Liverpool include transfer rumors, with reports from Spain suggesting Trent Alexander-Arnold has decided to join Real Madrid at the end of the season.

Although the January transfer window is still days away from officially opening, speculation has already intensified during the festive period.

For Liverpool, names such as Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah have dominated the headlines, as they are just days away from being able to negotiate pre-contract agreements with foreign clubs. As of New Year’s Day, they will officially enter the final six months of their contracts at Anfield.

In Alexander-Arnold’s case, Spanish publication Marca reports that the 26-year-old has informed Liverpool of his wish to join Real Madrid after this season. It is well-known that the Spanish and European champions highly regard Alexander-Arnold and are eager to bring him to the Santiago Bernabeu next summer.

Here, the ECHO brings you the latest updates on Alexander-Arnold and other transfer news related to Arne Slot’s team.

Kelleher in demand, with overseas club interested in ‘keeper

Newcastle United are said to be interested in Caoimhin Kelleher ahead of the goalkeeper’s anticipated departure from Anfield next summer.

According to TEAMtalk, Eddie Howe is looking for a younger option to compete with or potentially replace Nick Pope, who will be 32 next season. Kelleher is reportedly on their radar alongside Burnley’s James Trafford, whom they bid £15million for during the summer window.

In addition to Newcastle, Fiorentina is also said to be eyeing Kelleher. The Serie A club, who currently have veteran Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea as their number one, is also monitoring Leeds United’s Illan Meslier, who stayed with the club after their relegation to the Championship.

Reds may have already found an Alexander-Arnold replacement thanks to Slot’s decision

If Trent Alexander-Arnold were to leave Anfield, Liverpool would face a significant challenge in replacing him.

This is a potential issue that Arne Slot hopes to avoid, but it’s one Liverpool cannot afford to overlook.

The good news for the Reds is that they may already have a replacement for Alexander-Arnold in place, without needing to make any signings in the transfer market.

Antonee Robinson’s transfer in January is reportedly a “realistic possibility,” with interest from Liverpool.

According to Football Insider, the club is closely monitoring the Fulham left-back, and they suggest that a significant deal in January remains likely. The report claims Robinson may be inclined to seek a move next year, whether during the midseason window or in the summer, with a January departure being particularly noteworthy.

However, Fulham may demand a hefty fee for the player, as he is under contract for another three and a half years. Robinson extended his deal until the summer of 2023 before the start of last season.

Arne Slot claims ‘unbelievable’ Liverpool star earning £225k per week will be absent for the Carabao Cup match against West Ham

Liverpool will face West Ham United in the Carabao Cup third round at Anfield on Wednesday night.

West Ham secured a victory against Bournemouth in the second round at the London Stadium, and fans were not surprised when they were given a trip to Liverpool.

Last season, the Hammers met the Reds at Anfield in the quarter-finals, which was a night best forgotten for them.

The match was effectively over before it started for West Ham, as David Moyes fielded a perplexing starting XI against Liverpool.

Indeed, the highlight for the 6,000 travelling West Ham supporters was when they chanted to Darwin Nunez, “you’re just a ‘not very good’ Andy Carroll.”

Fans are hopeful for a more enjoyable experience this time, both for those traveling and the many watching at home.

The match kicks off at 8 PM and will be aired live on Sky Sports.

While West Ham fans may feel uncertain heading into the game, it’s important to remember that anything can happen in cup football.

Liverpool will not be at full strength, with Harvey Elliot ruled out and another key player also unavailable.

Reds manager Arne Slot provided an injury update in his pre-match press conference, as reported by the Liverpool Echo.

Slot stated, “It’s for sure Caoimh (Kelleher) will start. Alisson is getting there but the game is coming a bit too early. We’re looking at the weekend against Wolves but it’s tight.”

The absence of Alisson, who earns £225k a week (Salary Sport), is a significant setback for Liverpool. Regarded as an ‘unbelievable’ goalkeeper by Anfield Watch, he is vital to the team’s success.

Without him, Liverpool will miss a key presence in their penalty area.

This is an opportunity for West Ham to capitalize. A victory against Liverpool at Anfield could provide a much-needed boost to their season.

Michael Edwards at Work as Liverpool Plan January Transfer Move

Liverpool’s chief executive, Michael Edwards, is leading the search for a new number six, according to Football Insider. On the latest episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke shared that the club has begun preparations for the January transfer window and is focused on identifying areas for improvement.

Alongside sporting director Richard Hughes, the recruitment team has started evaluating options after missing out on Martin Zubimendi. However, they are committed to ensuring that any new signings are a perfect fit for the club rather than simply adding players.

#6 for the Reds?

Since Arne Slot’s arrival, Ryan Gravenberch has excelled in a new role, but there is still a belief that Liverpool needs a dedicated backup in that position. Edwards’ return, with his emphasis on a data-driven approach, has revitalized the club’s transfer strategy.

Although the lack of summer signings was disappointing for many fans, the club insists they will only make moves in the market when absolutely necessary. With Edwards leading the charge, preparations for the January window are well underway as Slot aims to strengthen his squad.

Liverpool’s strategic use of data analytics in recruitment has proven successful over the years. Edwards’ careful approach ensures that potential signings are not only tactically suited but also offer long-term value. This approach is crucial in their current quest for a defensive midfielder, which is essential for the team’s balance and effectiveness.

Despite Gravenberch’s impressive performances, the need for a specialist number six remains. Adding a player in this role would enhance squad depth and provide better rotation and injury coverage. Liverpool’s recruitment team is actively seeking candidates who can integrate smoothly into the team’s setup.

Edwards’ re-engagement with the club is seen as a positive development, with his talent identification and acquisition skills expected to play a crucial role.

His collaboration with Hughes aims to strengthen the squad while keeping Liverpool competitive in all competitions. Securing a new number six is a top priority, with the club dedicated to finding a player who can make a significant impact.

‘Really worried’ – Arne Slot reacts to Liverpool player’s desire to leave following rejected bid

Nottingham Forest’s bid for Caoimhin Kelleher was rejected.

Arne Slot has expressed understanding regarding Caoimhin Kelleher’s desire to leave Liverpool. During the international break with the Republic of Ireland, Kelleher voiced his frustration over Liverpool’s signing of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia.

The 25-year-old is currently the backup goalkeeper to Alisson Becker at Anfield, but the acquisition of Mamardashvili—who will stay on loan at Valencia for the 2024-25 season—suggests he is being groomed as the future No. 1.

Liverpool declined a late offer from Nottingham Forest for Kelleher as it did not meet their £30 million valuation. Kelleher has repeatedly stated his wish to play regularly.

Despite this, Slot did not take offense at Kelleher’s comments. He noted that he would be “really worried” if players who aren’t regularly featured were content with that status.

At his pre-Forest press conference, Slot remarked: “I would be really worried if a player came out and said he doesn’t care about playing first-team football. That would be a bigger worry for me.

“It’s normal they want to play but it’s normal for a club like this that wants to compete for trophies to have more than 11 players who can play. As long as they can accept their situation—not in a way that I don’t care I’m not playing but by helping the team when they have to—is a good place to be.

“Caoimhin has shown many times in the past few years and in pre-season he’s ready when we need him. It’s a good thing and who knows, he’s going to play for us in the future but at the moment, it’s quite clear Alisson is No. 1. It’s a normal situation for a player to be in if you’re not playing but he handles the situation.”

According to report – Liverpool Set to Offer £50.6m, Poised to Make Final Move for Playmaker

In recent weeks, the situation with Liverpool has been quite amusing. It seems they have been connected with more players after the transfer window closed than they were during the recent summer period.

Even though Liverpool only added Federico Chiesa to their squad for this season, they have made an excellent start to life after Jürgen Klopp. Under Arne Slot, the team has won every match so far and has done so without conceding a single goal.

Liverpool is once again rumored to be interested in La Liga playmaker Takefusa Kubo from Real Sociedad.

Last month, the Madrid-based outlet AS reported that Liverpool was prepared to pay Kubo’s release clause of £50.6 million, but the player chose to remain with Real Sociedad. The 23-year-old also turned down substantial offers from Saudi Arabia to stay in Spain.

Now, another Spanish source, Fichajes, states that Liverpool has not given up and will make another attempt to secure Takefusa Kubo.

The media outlet also mentions that Kubo has a release clause of £50.6 million, and Liverpool faces no difficulty in meeting that amount.

Given Liverpool’s willingness to spend more to sign Martin Zubimendi in the summer, they are unlikely to encounter problems paying Kubo’s release clause. The challenge with these Real Sociedad players has been persuading them to move.

There seems to be a strong loyalty among players at the Basque club. Players like Kubo, Zubimendi, and Mikel Oyarzabal have opted to stay despite significant interest, but this might change in the future.

Takefusa Kubo, who scored the decisive goal against Espanyol last month, is deserving of playing for a top club, and a transfer to Liverpool would be ideal for him.

The Japanese talent could potentially replace Mohamed Salah at Anfield, and only time will reveal whether Liverpool can finalize a deal for him in upcoming transfer windows.

“I’ve been straightforward” – Kelleher’s ANGRY Response to Liverpool’s Mamardashvili Acquisition

Caoimhin Kelleher has expressed his frustration with Liverpool’s decision to sign another goalkeeper. While on international duty with the Republic of Ireland, the goalkeeper appeared disheartened when asked about his future.

“I’ve been straightforward in the last few years that I want to go and be a number one, play week in week out,” Kelleher stated.

He continued, “The club’s made that decision to go and get another goalkeeper in which, yeah, obviously from the outside looking in looks like they’ve made a decision to go a different direction.”

This statement refers to the recent announcement that Giorgi Mamardashvili will join Liverpool from Valencia at the start of the 2025-26 season, in a transfer worth over £30 million. Mamardashvili gained prominence following his impressive performances for Georgia at Euro 2024, including a surprising 2-0 win over Portugal.

Kelleher elaborated on his ambitions: “My ambition has always been clear and has been clear the last few seasons that I want to go be a number one and play week in week out.” He added, “Sometimes from the outside looking in it looks like maybe that’s 100% my decision and sometimes maybe it’s not always in my hands as well.”

Last season, Kelleher made 26 appearances for Liverpool, recording five clean sheets. Throughout the summer, he was linked with a move to Nottingham Forest, which was ultimately blocked by Liverpool, causing evident dissatisfaction.

Following a strong performance in a 0-2 loss to England, where Kelleher made seven crucial saves, including stops against Liverpool-linked Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane, he received praise from both Irish media and England interim manager Lee Carsley. Carsley described Kelleher as an “excellent goalkeeper” with a “massive future in the game,” comparing him favorably to past Irish goalkeepers like Shay Given.

Kelleher is expected to start in Tuesday’s match against Greece, potentially his best opportunity to showcase his abilities ahead of the January transfer window.

Joel Matip might rejoin Premier League as interest in free transfer emerges

Joel Matip is now attracting interest from another Premier League club, as he has yet to find a new team since his departure from Liverpool in June.

Matip was one of 11 players released by Liverpool when his contract ended, and he is the only one still deciding his next move.

While Thiago has retired and Adrian, Mateusz Musialowski, and Melkamu Frauendorf have all signed with new teams on free transfers, the 33-year-old Matip has been considering his options.

Bayer Leverkusen had shown interest, but a move to Xabi Alonso’s team seems less likely now that Jonathan Tah will remain at the BayArena past the transfer deadline.

Currently, Matip is drawing interest from West Ham, with Sky Sports’ Dharmesh Sheth reporting that the club is evaluating him as they look for late additions in the centre-back position.

Ex-Sheffield United defender John Egan is another potential target, with Sheth noting that “talks are ongoing with their representatives.”

This interest comes after Kurt Zouma (to Al-Orobah) and Nayef Aguerd (to Real Sociedad) left on loan late in the transfer window, leaving Julen Lopetegui with only three senior centre-backs: Max Kilman, Konstantinos Mavropanos, and Jean-Clair Todibo.

Matip could provide experienced cover, and a move to West Ham would likely ensure him ample playing time.

It remains uncertain whether Matip, who has spent eight years in England, would be open to such a switch. A return to Germany seemed more feasible, and other reports suggested he had offers from Europe and Asia.

With the transfer window closed and no new centre-back added at Liverpool, some fans have even suggested re-signing Matip might be a wise move. However, this seems unlikely given that Joe Gomez remains at the club and Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, and Jarell Quansah are all established key players.

Deadline day EXIT is scheduled for Klopp’s Kids in a significant Arne Slot Liverpool overhaul

A number of players will be keeping a watchful eye on their situation should they be linked to a move elsewhere as the summer transfer deadline approaches.

There are only a few hours left before business ends, and it looks like Arne Slot’s Liverpool team will make some significant adjustments before then.

Among them are a few young players who former manager Jürgen Klopp, who left the position at the end of the previous campaign, originally adopted.

Lewis Steele, a reporter for the Daily Mail, said that Hull City is working extremely hard to recruit promising Scottish winger Ben Doak on a loan, but Middlesbrough, a team in the Championship, is a fierce rival.

Somewhere else, second-tier teams are vying for a loan of 19-year-old winger Kaide Gordon.

The announcement of Nat Phillip’s resignation from Anfield preceded the release of the news.

The out-of-favor centre back, who was on loan at Cardiff City for the previous campaign, is reportedly making a comeback to the Championship when he signs a new loan agreement with Derby County.

Tyler Morton is anticipated to stay with Liverpool even though there will likely be a large outflow at Anfield.

In order to give Slot’s team more depth, the Reds recently turned down a deal for the midfield player from Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen.

During his season-long loan at Hull City, Morton made an impressive showing in the midfield, contributing eight goals and eight assists in 39 league games for the Tigers.

Caoimhin Kelleher is another player whom Liverpool is anticipated to cling onto despite Nottingham Forest’s desire.

Yesterday, Nuno Espírito Santo’s team made an offer for the Republic of Ireland international, but it was quickly turned down.

Liverpool have rejected a bid from Nottingham Forest for Caoimhin Kelleher . Offer well below Liverpool’s valuation and the club was not looking to sell.

Although Kelleher and Morton should ultimately remain at Anfield for the duration of this transfer window, an upheaval is anticipated in the next few hours.

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

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.

Liverpool goalkeeper may be leaving the club following his exclusion from US tour

Four goalkeepers are among Liverpool’s initial 28-man roster that will travel to the United States; the lack of one more goalkeeper may be related to a transfer.

The team has confirmed the 28 players who will travel to Pittsburgh on Tuesday from Merseyside; at least two more players, Diogo Jota and Alisson, are expected to join them in the United States.

With summer internationals Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and Luis Diaz still on post-season holidays, many of those missing from the group were expected.

However, a couple notable absences from the team were Bobby Clark and Jayden Danns, both of whom were injured.

Goalkeeper Fabian Mrozek, who has practiced with the first team during preseason but was not there for the private match versus Preston, was another noteworthy absentee.

Caoimhin Kelleher, Harvey Davies, Vitezslav Jaros, and Marcelo Pitaluga are the first set of goalkeepers that Fabian Otte will teach while they are on tour.

Mrozek may have been left off the roster due to an injury, but it’s important to remember that Liverpool has already received interest in the 20-year-old from several teams this summer.

According to Polish newspaper Meczyki, a loan offer from Portuguese team Vitoria SC was turned down in June because they wanted an option to purchase.

It’s also rumoured that Mrozek’s native Poland’s FKS Stal Mielec and MKS Cracovia, who play in the Ekstraklasa, might be open to a straight loan.

This summer, Liverpool will consider a temporary transfer for several of its young goalkeepers. Jaros is expected to remain the third choice in the starting lineup, while Mrozek, Pitaluga, and Davies are unlikely to play minutes together for the U21 team.

Kornel Miscuir, 17, is a teenager of Polish and English ancestry, and the club has high expectations for him. There’s even a chance the teenager advances through the ranks.

Letting Mrozek go would create room in the roster and give the young goalie a chance to play with the first team.

Pitaluga (St Patrick’s Athletic), Davies (Crewe), Jakub Ojrzynski (Den Bosch), Luke Hewitson (Stalybridge Celtic), Reece Trueman (Colwyn Bay), and Jaros (Sturm Graz) were among the players that left on loan to acquire experience during the previous season.

Ojrzynski is presently on trial with GKS Katowice, a Polish team competing in the Ekstraklasa, though a transfer has not yet been confirmed.

Liverpool preseason roster for US tour

Goalkeepers: Davies, Pitaluga, Jaros, and Kelleher

Defenders: Bradley, Tsimikas, Chambers, Beck, Quansah, Van den Berg, Phillips, Nallo, Robertson, and Bradley

Midfielders: Bajcetic, McConnell, Morton, Stephenson, Nyoni, Szoboszlai, Jones, Endo, Elliott, and Bajcetic

forwards: Salah, Carvalho, Doak, Gordon, Koumas, and Blair.

Liverpool is prepared to let go of the 25-year-old, who has acknowledged that he is open to leaving Anfield

Caoimhin Kelleher wants to start the season for Liverpool, so the club will take any offers that come in this summer into consideration.

Football Insider claims that the Merseyside team is willing to sell some of its bench players in order to make room and money for future recruits.

With just two years left on his present contract at Anfield and the admission that he is ready to resume goalkeeping following an outstanding 2023–24 season, Kelleher is one option available to the Reds.

“I think my time as a number two is over. Currently, the goal is to rank first. The Reds shot-stopper recently told the Irish Mirror, “I am ready and capable.”

The Irishman’s most successful season wearing a Liverpool shirt came last year, when he made 26 appearances across all competitions, including 14 straight games, when regular number-one Alisson was injured.

The only obstacle to a possible transfer is Arne Slot’s lack of options at Anfield, where the Premier League’s top team lacks a custodian due to Adrian’s departure.

For Caoimhin Kelleher to advance in his career, he must leave Liverpool.

Kelleher has spent his whole career with Liverpool, and the only reason he has lasted this long is because of Jurgen Klopp’s admiration for the player.

This is another incentive for Kelleher to leave the Reds, and new Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrímsson has lately recommended him to do so. The German coach is no longer with the team.

According to the Irish Mirror, Hallgrímsson responded, “Of course, especially when he showed everyone that he can play at the highest level,” when asked if the goalie needs to leave Liverpool this summer.

“It would be unfortunate if he stopped playing frequently after demonstrating to everyone his talent and calibre of play.”

As he considers leaving Anfield, this summer will be crucial for Kelleher’s future and might shape the remainder of his career.

Liverpool is ahead of the Euro giants in the race to sign the 15-goal midfield player that Arne Slot desires.

Liverpool has not yet begun their summer transfer window in terms of new hires.

After the season ended, a few players departed the Reds, but none have since joined.

Arne Slot, the new manager of Liverpool, has begun working at the Merseyside team in order to get the Reds ready for the upcoming campaign.

It is unclear how the Premier League’s biggest clubs will handle the transition phase that will follow Jurgen Klopp’s departure.

Slot, though, might sign a player this summer that he has already managed.

Teun Koopmeiners, a midfielder for Atalanta, is reportedly more desirable to the Reds than to Juventus, according to CalcioMercato.

Since his outstanding performances for the Italian team attracted the interest of some of the major European teams, the midfield player has been linked to a move away from Atalanta during the summer.

The Dutch midfielder assisted Atalanta in winning the Europa League last season, and they defeated Klopp’s Liverpool team en route.

The midfielder is eager to join the Old Lady, and Juventus had been mentioned as the front-runners to sign him.

According to the Italian source, Atalanta wants to release its top player for a transfer fee of almost €60 million.

However, because of their financial limitations, the Bianconeri are only willing to make an offer of about €40 million.

Juventus has made the decision to add a player through a trade, but Atalanta prefers for the deal to be entirely financial and player-free.

Liverpool is ahead in the contest to sign Koopmeiners from Atalanta.

Liverpool now has the financial capacity to finalise the signing of the Dutch midfielder thanks to this most recent development.

Last season, Koopmeiners was Atalanta’s standout player with a total of 15 goals scored, 12 in Serie A and 3 more in the Coppa Italia.

Since they worked together at AZ Alkmaar, Arne Slot knows the player, and he would be thrilled to collaborate with him once more.

The Dutch team just missed out on winning the Eredivisie championship in 2020 due to goal differential.

LFC transfer news: Reds star drops hint amid Negotiations for defender ‘confirmed’

The transfer market is expected to quicken with Euro 2024 and the Copa America completed, and Liverpool have work to do for incoming head coach Arne Slot before his debut season.

The Euros have gone, and attention has shifted back to the world of club football.

Players will leave Germany and their international duties to have more time to negotiate their futures with new and former teams. The Premier League season is a month away, and pre-season preparations are already underway.

The Reds have yet to make any additions to their squad under new manager Arne Slot, but they appear to be interested in improving their defence. That will be a key topic to monitor in the coming weeks.

Negotiations for defenders are currently underway.

Liverpool is negotiating with Crystal Palace for Marc Guehi. The Eagles star had an excellent Euro 2024 campaign and has long been linked with the Premier League.

The Reds appear to be the first in line to make a move for the Chelsea academy product, with reports stating things will pick up after the Euros.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano stated, “Marc Guehi has been linked with Liverpool.” I can tell you that Liverpool has been scouting the player for a long period. He is definitely a player they like.

“But at the moment, I can tell you that Liverpool is negotiating for Marc Guehi since the circumstances around him is calm. Obviously, there is the Euros, so after that, we will see Liverpool’s admiration for the player.

“I can affirm that, in addition to Liverpool, there are other clubs, like as Arsenal, that value the player. However, in terms of the bid and talks, the situation is different.”

Liverpool makes Sporting star a priority

Guehi does not appear to be the only defender on Liverpool’s radar, with Sporting ace Goncalo Inacio also being considered. Caught Offside suggests that the Reds are making headway towards signing the £50 million defender, with an addition to Liverpool’s backline rated a ‘priority’. If Arne Slot’s side agrees to pay the price, Inacio will become available through a release clause.

Kelleher throws an unexpected hint.

So far this summer, everything points to Caoimhin Kelleher departing from Anfield. The Irish custodian was generally anticipated to leave Liverpool in search of first-team football after demonstrating his ability while Alisson was injured.

Now, in an interview after returning to pre-season training under new manager Arne Slot, Kelleher says his goals are identical to last year. The shotstopper also praised new keeper coach Fabian Otte. “Similar to last year, I believe,” he said when asked about his goals for 2024/25.

“Obviously I had a lot of games last season, which is really good, so just looking to do the same really and try to keep the same level of performance as well.”

“Obviously I worked with John [Achterberg] for so many years, so hold him in such high regard, I thought he was excellent,” he joked.

“It’s excellent that Fabian has arrived now. Looks pretty fantastic, fascinating, and full of energy, which is good.

“He probably brings some new ideas as well, which is interesting and good for the goalkeepers to experience, get different opinions on stuff.”It’s new and interesting, and I’m looking forward to it.”

Liverpool plans to sign a Premier League superstar for £50 million plus a vital player.

Liverpool has chosen to make a player-plus-cash offer to Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon in an attempt to acquire him.

According to Teamtalk, the Reds are getting ready to make a £50 million offer for English winger Gordon, together with custodian Caoimhin Kelleher to join Newcastle.

Under manager Arne Slot, Liverpool are getting ready for a hectic summer transfer window.

This summer, the club intends to support the Dutchman in his efforts to make personnel changes to the team.

This summer, the Reds need to improve a lot of areas, especially their defence and attack.

Gordon, a winger for Newcastle United, has become a significant target for the Premier League’s biggest clubs.

Newcastle’s need to sell players in order to comply with Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules has piqued Liverpool’s attention.

Brighton has agreed to a contract for Yankuba Minteh, and the Magpies have chosen to let him go in order for Eddie Howe’s team to raise money and adhere to financial restrictions.

Newcastle’s plan may claim another casualty in Gordon, since the Reds are eager to get him.

After impressing Gareth Southgate with a strong Premier League season, the winger was chosen to represent England in the Euros this summer.

He is presently serving for his country. season the Premier League season 2023–24, Gordon contributed to 21 goals with 11 goals and 10 assists.

The midfielder is reportedly open to joining Liverpool, his old team Everton’s bitter rivals.

Gordon is set to receive a massive offer from Liverpool.

Given that Liverpool values Kelleher between £25 and £35 million, any deal incorporating the goalie and the £50 million in cash is probably going to cost the Reds between £75 and £85 million.

Although Howe is keen to hold onto the quick winger, he could have to let him go.

Newcastle needs a new custodian to compete with first choice Nick Pope, so the Reds’ addition of Kelleher in the trade may help.

All sides would benefit from it, but the Magpies would be disappointed to lose a player of Gordon’s calibre.

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.

Liverpool is the clear favourite for the Brazillian after Inter Milan decides not to pay the asking amount.

Liverpool has emerged as the front-runners to recruit Brazil custodian Bento, following Inter Milan’s decision to forego paying Athletico Paranaense’s €15 million transfer demand.

Instead, Inter used those sums to acquire Spanish custodian Josep Martinez from Genoa, hoping to establish him as their long-term first choice.

Bento is now available for purchase as a result of this decision, with Liverpool, Sporting CP, and Benfica reportedly leading the race to sign him, according to Globo.

The 2021 Copa Sudamericana winner has also been linked to two other unidentified English teams.

The 25-year-old, who has a long-standing desire to join the Serie A powerhouses, is devastated by Inter’s unwillingness to comply with Athletico’s demands.

Bento will be compelled to remain if no other teams meet their conditions and become interested. In the national team system, the two-cap Brazil international plays as Alisson Becker’s backup at Liverpool.

In the March friendly, they play England at Wembley and Spain at the Bernabeu. Alisson declared, “I am still one of the younger ones,” and that he would WELCOME the competition Bento offered in the Brazil ranks.

“This is my best moment. Brazil produces a lot of talented goalkeepers, both domestically and abroad. It avoids complacency and keeps us alert.”

At Athletico, the homegrown goalie has been first choice since 2022 and is contracted through the end of 2026.

COAMIN KELLEHER IS DESIRABLE, ADRIAN IS GONE

According to reports, Liverpool is looking to add a custodian this summer. Adrian San Miguel, the third choice, has returned to Spain with Real Betis, and Caoimhin Kelleher is looking to transfer elsewhere in order to establish himself as a No. 1.

Other players connected to the role include Alex McCarthy of Southampton, who has since agreed to a new contract, Villarreal’s Filip Jorgensen, Sunderland’s Anthony Patterson, and Burnley’s James Trafford.

After spending several years in Alisson’s shadow, Kelleher, 25, has expressed again his desire to put himself through his paces as a first-choice.

The Irishman was reportedly attracting interest from Celtic and Nottingham Forest. In February, he was in goal as Liverpool defeated Chelsea to win the Carabao Cup.

This summer, the Reds’ goalkeeping department will experience a major disturbance when longtime coach John Achterberg steps down after 15 years.

Following the conclusion of the Copa America, where he is presently working with the United States, Fabian Otte will join as the new goalkeeping coach.
