    Report: Liverpool ready to finalize £42.2 million forward signing

    Liverpool boasts a strong attacking lineup with players like Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Federico Chiesa, Mohamed Salah, and Diogo Jota.

    While Darwin Nunez, the club’s record signing from 2022, is also part of the squad, he has struggled to make an impact and has lost his starting position under Arne Slot this season. If his performance doesn’t improve in the coming months, the club may need to consider letting him go.

    Reports suggest Liverpool is already looking for new attacking options for next year. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, they have identified Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi as a key target and are prepared to compete for his signature in 2025. Adeyemi, a German international, is keen on winning major trophies, making a move to the Premier League appealing.

    In the recent transfer window, Juventus expressed interest in Adeyemi and even reached personal terms, but they couldn’t meet Dortmund’s £42.2 million valuation. Besides Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle United are also in the running for the forward.

    This season, the 22-year-old has contributed four goals in four matches, including two goals and an assist against Heidenheim. While he prefers playing on the flanks, he is also capable of operating as a central striker.

    What are your thoughts—should Liverpool invest £42.2 million to sign Adeyemi?

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

    Nottingham Forest's bid for Caoimhin Kelleher was rejected.

    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.”

    Liverpool transfer news: Karim Adeyemi price revealed, as Liverpool faces Nico Williams blow

    Nico Williams

    As Arne Slot searches for his first summer addition, Liverpool is lagging behind Barcelona in their pursuit of signing Spain international Nico Williams.

    The summer transfer window for Liverpool has not yet officially opened while new manager Arne Slot evaluates his team.

    Slot is anticipated to request several new players from the club executives in order to bolster the roster that Jurgen Klopp left behind. Nico Williams, who has been playing for Spain at Euro 2024, is at the top of his list.

    However, Barcelona is now putting up a fight for the winger, who is thought to have Barcelona as his ideal destination. Anthony Gordon, the backup target, is becoming uneasy with that setback as questions about his future persist.

    Karim Adeyemi, who has been linked to a move to Anfield, has also intimated that Borussia Dortmund is willing to take a lowball offer.

    Barca joins the Williams race

    Liverpool’s chances of acquiring the winger have been dashed as Barcelona has entered the battle to sign Nico Williams. Williams’ transfer to Anfield has been strongly suggested, but Barca president Joan Laporta is certain he can steal the Spain international right out from under the Reds’ nose.

    Laporta stated to Catalunya Radio, “Economically speaking, we could commit to the signing of Nico Williams.” “Nico is a player I really enjoy watching. We are discussing potential signings with [coach Hansi] Flick.

    “We must now part ways with [sporting director] Deco in order to conclude the projects we are working on. Regarding the financial [problems], we will be able to share some positive news soon and will once again be playing within La Liga’s Fair Play parameters. And that will make it possible for more encouraging [signings] news.”

    Gordon becoming unsettled 

    Liverpool has a £50 million transfer plan to complete the dream move of Arne Slot. Without a doubt, Arne Slot will want to settle

    Anthony Gordon, a target for Liverpool, is allegedly becoming sidetracked by the speculation over his future. Although he has had difficulty getting playing time during the competition, the 23-year-old is presently a member of the England squad for Euro 2024.

    Gordon was Newcastle’s standout player and the team’s Player of the Year the previous year. His performances made him a target for Liverpool, especially considering the challenging circumstances surrounding the Magpies due to FFP regulations.

    The Daily Star claims that although the Reds eventually declined to sign him, there is ‘increasing fear’ among England’s top brass that Gordon has ‘taken his eye off the ball a little bit’ due to the rumours.

    Dortmund is pressuring Adeyemi exit.

    Nico Williams

    Karim Adeyemi’s departure from Borussia Dortmund looks to be the goal, as Liverpool is one of the teams rumoured to be interested in signing him. Adeyemi failed to live up to his promise after joining the Bundesliga team in the summer of 2022.

    The attacker fell down the ladder last season, scoring just five goals in all competitions. Sky Germany reports that Dortmund is ready to allow him to go and may approve a transfer if a proposal of £25 million is made.

    As they look for a new winger, Liverpool is one of the teams mentioned as having interested in the German teenager. While no firm offers have been made, Chelsea, AC Milan, and Juventus are also contenders.
