  • According to Fabrizio Romano, “outstanding” talent has agreed to sign a personal contract with Liverpool this summer

    According to Fabrizio Romano, “outstanding” talent has agreed to sign a personal contract with Liverpool this summer

    Giorgi Mamardashvili

    This transfer window, Liverpool has not yet added a player, but that may soon change.

    In fact, the Merseyside club is intensifying their pursuit of another target even though Martin Zubimendi has just set the Reds back.

    Giorgi Mamardashvili is a target for Liverpool from Valencia, and Fabrizio Romano says that the transaction is currently moving in the correct manner.

    Giorgi Mamardashvili and Liverpool reach a personal agreement

    Giorgi Mamardashvili and Liverpool have reportedly reached a personal terms agreement, according to Romano.

    The ‘excellent’ goalkeeper is prepared to join the Reds before heading on summer loan to another team.

    The Georgian goalkeeper is reportedly Bournemouth’s loan target, and following his loan stint, he’s expected to take Alisson’s place.

     

    Naturally, Alisson is perhaps the best goalkeeper in the world at the moment, so it makes sense that Liverpool would prefer not to start Mamardashvili right away.

    But, given that Alisson is rumoured to be moving to Saudi Arabia, Mamardashvili might be able to find a position in a few years.

    Giorgi Mamardashvili might be the Thibaut Courtois of Liverpool

    It’s not a bad idea at all to sign a backup goalkeeper years in advance of your preferred choice.

    Yes, we have seen this tactic used rather well in the past.

    Chelsea signed Thibaut Courtois to replace Petr Cech, and the Belgian was prepared to step in after spending a few years on loan at Atletico Madrid. Mamardashvili will follow the same path at Liverpool, and given his recent Valencia performances, he is undoubtedly qualified to eventually replace Alisson.

    It is unclear what this means for Caoimhin Kelleher, but given his dismal long-term chances at Anfield, it wouldn’t be shocking if the Irishman was on the move soon.

    While the team begins to take shape, Liverpool confirms a second move under Arne Slot

    Liverpool has verified the left-back. Luke Chambers has agreed to spend the season on loan with Wigan Athletic, a team in League One.

    Liverpool has verified the left-back. Luke Chambers has agreed to spend the season on loan with Wigan Athletic, a team in League One.

    Luke Chambers will play the season on loan at Wigan Athletic, according to confirmation from Liverpool. After playing with the Latics for the second half of the previous season, Chambers has temporarily switched to the League One team.

    The 20-year-old left-back will pair up with Calvin Ramsay, a Reds teammate who joined Shaun Maloney’s squad earlier in the summer on a season-long loan.

    Having played for Liverpool since he was six years old, Chambers made his debut in the first part of the previous campaign before spending eighteen months on loan at Wigan.

    After making his first-team Liverpool debut as a late substitute in the team’s September League Cup third-round victory over Leicester City, he went on to start in the team’s October Europa League group victory over Toulouse.

    After starting the first game of the previous season as a substitute for the first team twice, Chambers came off the bench against LASK at home. He also made a second start in the 2-1 loss at Union Saint-Gilloise. In all, Chambers was on the bench four times in the Premier League.

    During the second half of 2022–2023 the England under–20 international made more impressions while on loan at Kilmarnock, a Scottish Premiership team.

    Goalie Fabian Mrozek of the Academy last month went on loan to Swedish team IF Brommapojkarna, with a term of January.

  • Fabrizio Romano discusses what he is “100% sure” about Anthony Gordon of Newcastle and Liverpool

    Fabrizio Romano discusses what he is “100% sure” about Anthony Gordon of Newcastle and Liverpool

    Fabrizio Romano discusses what he is "100% sure" about Anthony Gordon of Newcastle and Liverpool. Liverpool appears to be gearing

    Liverpool appears to be gearing up for a big summer transfer window final month. The Reds have been eerily silent thus far, but as August approaches, it seems like something big is about to happen.

    Arne Slot has now had three complete games, one of which was against elite Premier League competition, to determine what needs to be added to his Liverpool roster.

    It’s possible the head coach decides he’s content with the team he has now. That would make sense after Liverpool’s players gave some strong displays against Arsenal on Thursday.

    It appears, nevertheless, that Liverpool will add two or three players in the upcoming weeks. Journalist Fabrizio Romano provides an intriguing morning update on Anthony Gordon in light of this.

    Anthony Gordon is still a target for Liverpool.

    On Wednesday, Reds supporters had a renewed sense of excitement upon learning that Liverpool had scheduled Gordon for a medical examination in June.

    The Reds and Newcastle reportedly reached an agreement on a sum of £75 million, and Joe Gomez was scheduled to leave for £45 million.

    However, the Magpies terminated the agreement since Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh’s sales ultimately resolved their PSR issues.

    With Gordon’s head turned by Liverpool, Gomez is currently in limbo as he gets ready to resume training, and it appears like the deal is far from done.

    Fabrizio Romano discusses what he is "100% sure" about Anthony Gordon of Newcastle and Liverpool

    Reds fans are holding out on any new information with patience, but transfer specialist Romano said on his Daily Briefing that Gordon is still “100%” appreciated by Liverpool.

    The reporter responds, “I’m getting a lot of questions about the Anthony Gordon guys, but all I was told was that Liverpool talked about a few possible swap deals in June, not the exact values that have been mentioned elsewhere in the media.”

    “I’m not sure if the reported numbers are accurate, but Gordon was wanted by Liverpool and they still have interest in him because they think he’s a great winger,” Romano continues.

    “I’m positive that Gordon will continue to be appreciated; let’s see what Liverpool does this month.”

    Will Anthony Gordon be signed by Liverpool?

    Liverpool has been playing under a pretty relaxed schedule this summer. Gordon, though, is the one guy that has generated a lot of talk.

    It seems inevitable that the Reds will end up with him when they sink their claws into a player like him and determine he is the one they want.

    The primary area of contention in this situation is undoubtedly Newcastle’s desire to keep Gordon. That’s all well and good, but the Magpies also made the grave error of suggesting to the player that they would be willing to sell, even to his childhood team.

    Gordon is eager to join Liverpool, and the Reds are eager to have him, so it seems likely that this will happen eventually.

    That’s a whole other story, though, whether or not that happens this year. But every Liverpool fan will be praying that it is during the course of the next thirty days.

  • Fabrizio Romano provide updates on the world class Liverpool transfer target this summer

    Following links, Fabrizio Romano says Liverpool has little chance of securing a "world-class" target this summer

    Following links, Fabrizio Romano says Liverpool has little chance of securing a “world-class” target this summer.

    Despite recent rumours to the contrary, Fabrizio Romano stated that Liverpool has no chance of signing a target this summer.

    The Reds are preparing to finally make some moves in the summer market. While they continue to be connected to a deal for Turkish star Baris Alper Yilmaz, winger Ben Doak is reportedly considering a loan move away from Liverpool.

    Real Madrid sensation Arda Guler, who rose to international fame in recent months following his amazing exploits for Turkey at Euro 2024, is another player with whom Liverpool has been connected this summer.

    However, it seems that Liverpool has very little chance of signing the young player at this point.

    This summer, Real Madrid not willing to let go of Arda Guler, who is connected to Liverpool.

    Romano stated on Twitter that Madrid will not let Guler to go this summer, despite recent speculations indicating that the winger may quit the Spanish powerhouses after failing to establish himself as a regular member of Carlo Ancelotti’s starting lineup.

    Fabrizio Romano provide updates on the world class Liverpool transfer target this summer

    “Recent links between Arda Guler and loan move to Bayer Leverkusen are wide of mark,” commented Romano on social media. Arda is an essential component of Real Madrid’s ambitions and isn’t loanable.

    Right now, his primary concern is Real Madrid. Guler, who has been praised for having “world-class” potential, might have been the perfect addition to Liverpool this summer. Arne Slot seems to be eager to add an additional attacker to rival players like Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz.

    However, now that Madrid has made their intentions clear regarding Guler, the Reds will need to look into other options. The Turkish international is a player who could have excelled at Anfield had a move materialise this summer.

    In their efforts to sign Guler, Liverpool can afford to be patient

    Guler, who is 19 years old, is still very much in the early stages of his career, having had a wild ride over the last 12 months after winning the UEFA Champions League and excelling at Euro 2024. Guler plays for both Madrid and Turkey.

    Even so, Liverpool can afford to take their time in trying to recruit Guler, who is still just a youngster and hasn’t established himself as a regular for Madrid despite signing from Fenerbahce a year ago.

    In fact, Liverpool and many other teams in Europe won’t have given up on signing Guler just yet, and if Madrid is unable to provide the Turkish wonderkid with what he wants, there’s a good chance the winger will become available in a year or two.

  • “We’re almost there,” Fabrizio Romano says, confirming that the “€70 million” Liverpool target is about to finalise the deal

    “We’re almost there,” Fabrizio Romano says, confirming that the “€70 million” Liverpool target is about to finalise the deal

    Joao Neves

    Liverpool FC transfer news: The highly-rated midfielder is close to agreeing a deal.

    Joao Neves, a target for Liverpool, is expected to finalise his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, according to Fabrizio Romano.

    The 19-year-old has been heralded as a future star, and Benfica has given him a £120 million release clause to stifle any interest.

    The Portuguese team has profited handsomely from similar agreements in the past; in 2023, Enzo Fernandez completed a £105 million transfer to Chelsea.

    And Liverpool, who were connected to a transfer at the time, will likely lose out once more. Romano confirmed the rumour on X, saying that PSG is about to make a major acquisition that might cost €70 million and require a player in return. “Paris Saint-Germain is getting closer to signing João Neves!” Another productive round of discussions today. PSG hope to get it sealed next week. Details of deal being considered after €70m fee + players to include for Benfica, including Renato Sánches. Here we go, anticipate shortly.

    According to earlier reports from Portuguese publication Correio da Manha, Benfica had previously turned down two £51 million offers for Neves from Liverpool and considered him to be a top target for Arne Slot this summer. In actuality, the club invested about £150 million on midfield players last season, so unless it was the ideal fit, no more additions would be made.

    The rumours from Portugal said Slot wanted a player in the mould of Neves – with that being a defensively-minded, aggressive and energetic midfielder capable of recycling the ball and playing forward. However, the data indicates that Wataru Endo is qualified for this position. A “number six” who will sit in front of the back four and be crucial to the operation of Slot will be used. Additionally, there is Stefan Bajcetic, a young player with great potential who may also serve as a backup.

    Endo will want to develop and get better after a strong debut season, and his numbers indicate he has the potential to be a vital member of the Dutchman’s team. Furthermore, supporters shouldn’t be overly discouraged about missing out on a move for Neves because the Portugal international only played 75 senior games overall and only managed 77 minutes during Euro 2024—numbers that don’t exactly add up to such a high price.

    Liverpool is getting ready to spend €65 million for a long term Mohamed Salah replacement

    Takefusa Kubo

    Liverpool will not lose Mohamed Salah this summer, but the team is still preparing for life without him.

    The Egyptian’s future at the team is still unknown as he approaches the penultimate year of his contract at Anfield and has been linked to moves away from the team during that time.

    Under previous boss Jurgen Klopp, the right-winger has contributed to the Reds’ victories in both the Premier League and the Champions League.

    Given the uncertainty surrounding his long-term future at Liverpool, the Reds are planning to sign a replacement.

    The Japanese newspaper Sports Nippon claims that Liverpool may be considering Real Sociedad’s Takefusa Kubo, a right winger.

    Kubo has been connected to a move to Liverpool since January.

    Despite rumours that he would be Jurgen Klopp’s last addition to the Reds, the Japanese international continued to play well for the La Liga outfit.

    Since joining Real Sociedad in 2022 from Real Madrid, Kubo has demonstrated enormous potential.

    At the age of 23, he has already made a name for himself as one of La Liga’s best players.

    Liverpool is pursuing the Japanese international and intends to pay a transfer fee of approximately €65 million for him.

    They are also willing to give the 23-year-old £240,000 a week in salary. It is evident that the Reds are getting ready to play without Salah, who may depart the team in the summer of 2019.

    Mo Salah will be hard for Liverpool to replace

    Takefusa Kubo

    Similar to Salah, Kubo is a left-footed right-winger who enjoys cutting inside to create chances and score goals.

    Kubo has shown promise in La Liga, but he will need to increase his goal total to take Salah’s place.

    Salah’s twenty-four goals for the Reds dwarf the seven goals the Sociedad winger scored in the previous campaign.

    Most teams have already started their preseasons, and Liverpool’s players are adjusting to life under new manager Arne Slot.

    After nine years of working under Jurgen Klopp, the 45-year-old Dutchman has his work cut out for him in terms of persuading his playing staff that he is the appropriate person for the position.

    Liverpool is holding out for a top-tier centre back

    When his more experienced players return from international duty, Slot will undoubtedly feel the impact of the German’s lasting legacy at Anfield.

    The club won’t be the same going forward, and Slot will require instant support from all parties if the Reds are to succeed.

    Because of his work in the Eredivisie with Feyernood, he comes highly recommended, although the Premier League is a better league than the Dutch top division.

    Additionally, this is the first time Slot has accepted a professional position outside of the Netherlands.

    The club is keen to have Virgil van Dijk, a fellow Dutchman and club captain, back because he is crucial in serving as the liaison between the manager and the first team.

    In his special Daily Briefing for CaughtOffside, Fabrizio Romano stated, “A lot of rumours surrounding Liverpool captain, Virgil van Dijk, but as we already mentioned here the day after his recent statement guys, the situation is quiet so far.”

    “Virgil is on vacation, so Liverpool has not received any proposals. As a result, everything is quiet around van Dijk while they wait for him to return from his vacation.”

    Liverpool’s position on activating the release clause for Kevin De Bruyne “replacement”

    Liverpool's position on activating the release clause for Kevin De Bruyne "replacement"

    The transfer of Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig, who is anticipated to have his £50 million release clause activated at some point this week, has not yet been linked to Manchester City.

    Dani Olmo is reportedly in line to take over for Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne, who is nearing the end of his contract at Etihad Stadium.

    De Bruyne is set to stay in Manchester this summer, but after that, his future is still up in the air, which has led to rumours regarding his successors. Olmo, a Spanish attacking midfielder for RB Leipzig, has gained notice for his actions during Euro 2024.

    His contract currently contains a £50 million release clause, which is scheduled to expire the following week. According to The Mirror, clubs in La Liga and the Premier League are getting ready to use his release clause before it runs out.

    It’s unclear if City wants to make Olmo’s release clause effective. However, it is said that Chelsea and Liverpool are not among the Premier League teams keeping an eye on the circumstances.

    The Spanish daily Sport claims that City manager Pep Guardiola may also compel the sale of Joao Cancelo in addition to the prospect of losing De Bruyne. According to reports, Guardiola is certain that the full-back should not practise with the Blues again before the season.

    According to the Manchester Evening News, City would prefer Cancelo to move on and is not interested in signing another loan agreement. Cancelo has not expressed interest in accepting the two permanent offers that Al Ahli and Al Ettifaq are rumoured to have made. Barcelona is pursuing a loan agreement, but they may still be contenders.

    Guardiola may pressure City to agree to this, even though the club is not thrilled with the notion, in order to keep Cancelo from going back to the Etihad.

    However, supporters of City and their Premier League opponents will undoubtedly be more concerned about De Bruyne’s future. It is difficult to imagine the Etihad without him because he has been crucial to their dominance.

    But Olmo has drawn attention at Euro 2024 and might be a wise substitute. Although his release clause issue heightens the mystery around the transfer, Anfield fans will be more concerned on whether he ends up joining their championship rivals instead, following claims that Liverpool has decided not to trigger the clause.

  • Fabrizio Romano provides an update on Liverpool ‘target’ – ‘Agreed personal terms’

    Fabrizio Romano provides an update on Liverpool ‘target’ – ‘Agreed personal terms’

    James Trafford

    Lfc transfer news: The talented young star has been linked with a move to Liverpool.

    According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool’s reported target James Trafford has agreed to personal terms with Newcastle United.

    The Burnley custodian impressed last season despite being relegated under Vincent Kompany, and as a result, he has become a target for several clubs. Trafford has been an important figure for the England U21s over the last two years; he was in contention to be included in Gareth Southgate’s squad due to his excellent development and was part of the 33-man initial roster, but he did not make the cut this time around.

    With Liverpool likely losing backup keeper Caoimhin Kelleher this summer, the 21-year-old has been linked with the Reds, according to Football Insider. However, they may be about to miss out because Newcastle are thought to have agreed personal conditions but a sum has not to be determined.

    Romano took to X to update fans on the most recent news: ‘I understand Newcastle have signed personal terms with James Trafford as their top choice for new goalkeeper. A new proposal to Burnley is expected soon, valued at over £15 million with performance-based add-ons. Manchester City will earn 20% of the price from Burnley.

    James Trafford

    Trafford gained League One experience with Bolton in the 2022/23 season, earning him a starting opportunity under Kompany last season. He started the first 28 league games of the season before being replaced by the more experienced Arijanet Muric. Despite his age, Trafford had great poise and courage in playing out of the back, as well as the traits of a promising sweeper keeper.

    Kompany explained his decision to drop Trafford, stating that it was due to the luxury of having two players of comparable skill levels. “It’s one of the positions where I have the luxury of having two good players, so at any given time, I can make the best decision for the team.” It’s not a large or tough decision; it’s just two strong players competing, and I’ll take use of that luxury in as many positions as possible.”

    Liverpool’s conundrum over Kelleher will continue throughout the summer, with reports indicating a price tag of more than £20 million. While Kelleher may stay, Adrian’s future is questionable; Liverpool offered the Spaniard a new contract, but he has since been in negotiations about returning to Spain, which would need Liverpool to promote or sign a new goalkeeper.

    Jurgen Klopp won an important top-four finish last season, but new faces are required to take the team to the next level.

    Champions League football is also returning to Anfield, and new manager Arne Slot will need a strong and capable squad to compete.

    He has plenty of solid choices, but the Reds aren’t the entire package right now.

    Several areas require improvement, but a player connected with Liverpool may help fix more than one problem.

    Liverpool has set its sights on Feyenoord ace Lutsharel Geertruida.

    According to AD, Liverpool are looking to capture Feyenoord star Lutsharel Geertruida in the summer transfer season.

    Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, and West Ham are reportedly interested in signing the 23-year-old ahead of the new season.

    Geertruida, who has seven caps for the Netherlands, has made nearly 200 Feyenoord appearances.

    This season, the player made 47 appearances, playing at right-back, centre-back, and left-back.

    Lutsharel Geertruida may reunite with Arne Slot.

    Slot, who has just recently left Feyenoord, certainly knows the defence well, and a reunion is already being discussed.

    Geertruida is highly interested in working with Slot at Anfield, but whether the powers that be on Merseyside would approve the move remains to be seen.

    He would surely improve the existing squad, with the Dutch international capable of playing in defensive midfield.

    That adaptability might help fill a void at Anfield, as current defensive midfielder Wataru Endo could leave after just one season.

    Furthermore, the Feyenoord player has extensive big-game experience, having faced Atletico Madrid, Lazio, and Celtic in this season’s Champions League.

    We have all the most recent Liverpool transfer news today, Monday, May 27, as the summer transfer window approaches.

    Following the resignation of Jurgen Klopp and the appointment of Arne Slot, the Reds are already being connected to a number of targets as they attempt to restructure their roster.

    KOOPMEINERS TO LIVERPOOL UPDATES PROVIDED BY FABRIZIO ROMANO

    The most recent information on Liverpool’s possible summer transfer for Teun Koopmeiners comes from Fabrizio Romano. Atalanta’s midfield player may depart.

    A few connections have been made between Liverpool and Koopmeiners, primarily from outside of Italy. It’s true that the connection makes sense.

    Prior to Koopmeiners’ transfer from AZ Alkmaar to Atalanta, it is said that Liverpool had interest in the player years ago. But because of his extraordinary play this season, he is anticipated to depart Bergamo this summer.

    Teun Koopmeiners: Although there are increasing hints that he is linked to Liverpool, I’m still informed that Juventus has him as a top summer target.

    Juventus is addressing it,” Romano said to Caughoffside. “Let’s see what transpires at Liverpool, but from what I’ve heard, nothing solid has happened thus far.

    Today's Transfer News for Liverpool: Fabrizio Romano talks about Klopp's "£3.4m Spanish SWOOP," Kimmich's BOOST, and Koopmeiners

    We’ll find out as soon as Arne Slot meets with the team’s new directors.” Joshua Kimmich’s deal with Bayern Munich expires in2025, and the German international has been heavily linked to a summer transfer to Liverpool.

    According to sources, the 29-year-old is among Bayern’s highest earners, bringing in a gross annual salary of €19.5 million. A new contract has not yet been agreed upon.

    There have been rumours that Bayern is prepared to let the player leave if they get a good offer during the next transfer window. Kimmich has been linked to a move to Spanish powerhouse Barcelona in addition to Liverpool.

    However, Sport reports that Kimmich rejected Barca’s initial pay offer because he thought it fell well short of his expectations.

    It’s no secret that Barca is having financial difficulties, particularly in light of the €30 million salary that Robert Lewandowski will cost and the severe financial fair play regulations that LaLiga has to follow.

    The two sides may or may not be able to come to a solution, and if not, the ball may wind up in Liverpool’s court.

    The Trent Alexander-Arnold update from Fabrizio Romano isn’t positive.

    The Trent Alexander-Arnold update from Fabrizio Romano isn't positive.

    It’s no secret that Real Madrid is fond of Trent Alexander-Arnold; in fact, a number of connections over the past year or so have indicated that the Spanish champions envision the England international as Dani Carvajal’s long-term replacement.

    The contract of the 32-year-old Spanish player expires in the summer of 2025, which also happens to be Trent’s Liverpool deal’s expiration date.

    The Premier League and Champions League-winning defender is nearing the conclusion of his current contract, and concerningly for Reds fans, there has been a deafening lack of information surrounding an extension thus far.

    This will provide challenges for newly appointed sporting director Richard Hughes and his new employer, FSG CEO of Football Michael Edwards, as they work to establish the framework for the era following Jurgen Klopp.

    Liverpool may have to consider moving the 25-year-old during the upcoming transfer window if a new contract cannot be reached, or else they run the risk of losing him for nothing come summertime.

    The Trent Alexander-Arnold update from Fabrizio Romano isn't positive.

    And transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims that’s exactly what Santiago Bernabeu’s decision-makers have in mind for Alexander-Arnold.

    Due to their successful use of free agents in previous seasons, Los Blancos were able to convince David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger to join them in the Spanish capital when their contracts with Chelsea and Bayern Munich expired, respectively.

    They appear to have secured the greatest free agent signing of all time in Kylian Mbappe, the captain of France, this summer.

    Romano says that since Real Madrid wants to sign Trent after his Liverpool contract expires, this is a storyline to watch over the coming months.

    Alexander-Arnold recently listed Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane as his ideal party guests. Jude Bellingham, an English colleague who is currently a La Liga champion with Real, and Alexander-Arnold are believed to be close.

    The Italian journalist told Mics, “Trent Alexander Arnold is another player they love, but I think it could be more next summer in case he doesn’t extend the contract.” “I believe it’s another target they have because they follow and adore this player.”

    Liverpool intensifies efforts to sign a long-term midfield player

    Teun Koopmeiners

    Teun Koopmeiners, a talented player for Atalanta, is the target of Liverpool’s increased summer transfer window efforts.

    The Dutch international has impressed the Reds, according to Italian publication Tutto Atalanta, after tallying 12 goals and dishing out four assists in 31 Serie A games this year.

    With Jurgen Klopp leaving the team, Liverpool are preparing for a period of transition while Arne Slot prepares to take over as manager.

    The team already has possible targets lined up for the upcoming transfer window, which opens next month.

    Koopmeiners may lead the Merseyside club’s summer transfer activity. He has experience playing in the Dutch Eredivisie under new manager Slot.

    According to the article, Atalanta had been asking for £51 million to sell the midfield midfielder, but they may now accept a price of roughly £43 million.

    Liverpool will therefore have to shell out a substantial chunk of money to sign Koopmeiners this summer.

    According to Tutto Atalanta, Juventus is leading this particular race and is also keen to sign him.

    Even if Liverpool openly express their interest in signing Koopmeiners, the 26-year-old might be open to visiting Allianz Stadium this summer. As a result, they would have trouble acquiring him.

    This season, the midfielder has proven that he may be a useful asset to his future club because to his versatility and production from the centre position.

    Given that Liverpool would be receiving a player who can play a variety of positions and can contribute to goals from the midfield, their interest in the player makes sense.

    Liverpool needs to bolster their other spots.

    Additionally, the new manager will benefit from having a player signed who he knows well from his previous experience to ease the transition.

    However, Liverpool has to concentrate on acquiring new defenders because they presently have a strong midfield after investing heavily in this area last summer.

    "They are already working," says Fabrizio Romano, giving Liverpool supporters a crucial update on the summer transfer market.

    According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool will have a busy summer transfer window.

    In Arne Slot, the Merseysiders will be welcomed more than just a new manager. Naturally, it is anticipated that further backroom staff positions will be filled; Andreas Kornmayer is the most recent to declare his decision to go.

    It is expected that Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards will sign a new centre back “for sure,” and they may also find a forward option.

    “They are already working on a new center-back, so it could be busy, I think it could be busy.” Thus, a new center-back and, I believe, something in the attacking positions,” the CaughtOffside columnist said in a podcast interview with The Debrief.

    “I anticipate that Liverpool will sign two or three players this summer.”

    The penultimate match for the 56-year-old will take place at Villa Park between Jurgen Klopp’s team and Aston Villa.

    Who might Liverpool sign to fill the position of centre back?

    "They are already working," says Fabrizio Romano, giving Liverpool supporters a crucial update on the summer transfer market.

    Since the January window, a variety of options have been associated with the club.

    Goncalo Inacio of Sporting Lisbon and his center-back partner Ousmane Diomane were popular choices.

    It is likely, of course, that Liverpool’s situation is made more difficult by Ruben Amorim’s decision to remain in Portugal.

    Willian Pacho of Frankfurt is reportedly expected to draw some attention this summer. The reports about a Liverpool switch have gained some traction thanks to EOTK Insider Neil Jones.

    Forward signings, no matter who departs?

    In a perfect world, Darwin Nunez, Mo Salah, and Luis Diaz would all remain in their current positions for at least one more season.

    It remains to be seen how much a new forward line addition depends on one of our starting trio (possibly Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota) initially leaving.

    It is inevitable that, before the season ends, rumours about our No. 11 perhaps moving to Saudi Arabia will continue to circulate. You can be sure, though, that the 31-year-old isn’t currently anticipated to leave L4 just soon.

    For the Arne Slot era, Liverpool think they’ve FOUND the ideal £111 million striker.

    According to reports, Liverpool believes they may have identified the "right" striker to guide them ahead in the years following Jurgen

    According to reports, Liverpool believes they may have identified the “right” striker to guide them ahead in the years following Jurgen Klopp exit.

    It is said that Liverpool is looking for a new striker. They’ve been severely lacking in goalscoring consistency over the past few weeks, so they’re looking for a no. 9 who can lead the line.

    At least, that’s what Corriere dello Sport claims. Liverpool is currently mentioned by the Italian publication as one of several teams vying to recruit Victor Osimhen from Napoli.

    Osimhen is in high demand, of course. Chelsea and Manchester United have been strongly connected to him, while Paris Saint-Germain is also interested in him.

    But Liverpool is suddenly included in the mix. According to the publication, Osimhen is the “right” striker to take over for Jurgen Klopp, presumably during the “Arne Slot era.”

    Osimhen won’t be inexpensive, though. PSG is prepared to make a bid of about £85 million, and there is a release clause of about £111 million. Naturally, that falls far short of that clause, but it does imply that the bidding will get off to a high start.

    It even implies that Napoli will receive the entire clause should another team enter the competition.

    VICTOR OSIMHEN IS STILL UNDER THE RADAR OF LIVERPOOL

    This one, perhaps, might make sense after all. Osimhen has been a regular scorer for many years; during Napoli’s Scudetto-winning season, he scored 26 goals. Despite their difficulties this year, he has scored 14 goals.

    Notable is also the similarity in profile between Osimhen and Santiago Gimenez, Arne Slot’s primary goal scorer at Feyenoord.

    They both average 68% pass completion, although neither plays many passes at all nor completes the ones they do play very frequently. Darwin Nunez, in contrast, plays a lot more passes than both of them and passes at a rate of about 70%.

    Nunez does not, however, capitalise on his opportunities. He has the poorest rate in the Premier League, four goals below his xG. Gimenez and Osimhen are both perfectly aligned with theirs.

    Osimhen may be the top striker Slot is pursuing if he wants to emulate the Feyenoord method. The question now is if Liverpool would actually spend the money.

    According to Fabrizio Romano: Liverpool is considering championship winger a potential replacement for Luis Diaz

    Liverpool has been keeping a close eye on Dutch winger Crysencio Summerville, who has been in excellent form for Leeds United this season, ahead of what is anticipated to be a busy summer at Anfield.

    Italian transfer guru Fabrizio Romano said on his Here We Go podcast that the club had been keeping an eye on the 22-year-old for some time.

    “They sent their scouts multiple times—even before [Michael] Edwards and [Richard] Hughes arrived at the club—to follow Summerville’s progress,” he stated.

    “The player is really appreciated.”

    And it’s easy to understand why. Under manager Daniel Farke’s direction, Summerville has been a notable player for Leeds United in their bid for promotion to the Premier League, netting 20 goals and dishing out 10 assists.

    A SUBSTITUTE FOR LUIS DIAZ?

    According to Fabrizio Romano: Liverpool is considering championship winger a potential replacement for Luis Diaz

    Liverpool’s scouting squad has taken notice of Summerville’s performances this season and believes he is a bright young player with a good eye for goal.

    The Reds believe Summerville, who typically plays off the left wing, could be able to replace Luis Diaz, who has been toying with the thought of joining Spanish powerhouse Barcelona along with his father for some time.

    As a key player for Liverpool since joining from FC Porto in January 2022, Diaz’s future is a subject of conjecture, therefore the team is looking into other options.

    A Price Tag of £30 million 

    It won’t be simple to acquire Summerville’s services, though. Leeds is still fighting for second place in the Championship, so Liverpool might have to offer more than the £30 million that was first estimated to convince the Yorkshire team to give up one of their most valuable players—especially if they end up getting promoted.

    For a meagre £1.3 million, the Dutchman first transferred from Eredivisie club Feyenoord to Elland Road in September 2020. Leeds undoubtedly scored a deal, given that the valuation at this point may be more than thirty times that.

    The reasons Liverpool declined to hire Ruben Amorim

    Liverpool looked at Sporting CP boss Amorim when they were looking to replace Jurgen Klopp.

    Ultimately, the Reds agreed to sign Arne Slot of Feyenoord instead.

    Why Liverpool walked away from Amorim is revealed in a report.

    According to rumours, Liverpool authorities were worried about how Ruben Amorim’s favoured strategies would be implemented at Anfield.

    Liverpool compiled a new shortlist of possible candidates to succeed Jurgen Klopp as manager after top target Xabi Alonso declared his intention to stay with Bayer Leverkusen. Amorim was regarded as a leading contender for the position.

    But in the end, Liverpool chose against Amorim and made a deal with Arne Slot of Feyenoord, who would be moving to Anfield this summer.

    Sky Sports claims that although Amorim’s preferred tactical configuration—a three-man defense—won over those in charge of the manager search, Liverpool were nonetheless impressed.

    There were worries that Liverpool would find it too tough to abandon their four-at-the-back defensive at this point and that the tactical change would have a big influence on the team’s long-term goals.

    Liverpool’s academy teams are structured to emulate the first team’s strategies, therefore a number of young teams have concentrated on honing a four-man defensive. Moving away from this would result in serious issues lower on the pyramid.

    Even if it’s clear that Liverpool’s summer strategy would change, the people in charge of selecting the new manager didn’t want to take any actions that would upset the current team’s equilibrium.

    Feyenoord’s Slot, whose setup has even prompted similarities with Klopp in recent years, is what the Reds have chosen to pursue instead of moving forward with Amorim and potentially facing major tactical changes.

    With his penchant for using a 4-2-3-1 configuration, Slot is known for playing fast-paced, attacking football with a strong emphasis on pressing. It is hoped that the first team and any academy teams below them won’t have too much trouble adjusting to this new style.

    Amorim may perhaps find himself playing in the Premier League. Chelsea has long been a fan of the Sporting manager, and West Ham United had discussions with him. Amorim later acknowledged that he made a “mistake” by answering the phone.
