Liverpool at the Center of Transfer Rumors as Summer Window Progresses
Liverpool are at the heart of various transfer rumors as the summer window progresses, with new head coach Arne Slot yet to make any signings to strengthen the squad.
Richard Hughes, the new sporting director at Anfield, is responsible for negotiating deals to bring new talent to Merseyside before the window closes on September 2.
Alongside potential arrivals, there are also speculations about current squad members possibly departing.
One major rumor involves Real Madrid’s interest in signing Trent Alexander-Arnold. According to Sport Bild, the La Liga giants have made their interest in the Liverpool right-back concrete.
With Alexander-Arnold’s contract set to expire in 12 months, Madrid sees an opportunity to swoop in.
The Liverpool vice-captain and Kirkby academy graduate is reportedly intrigued by the prospect of moving to the Spanish capital.
While it’s uncertain if a transfer will occur this summer, the possibility of Alexander-Arnold leaving next year as a free agent remains open, with his contract expiring in 2025.
In another development, Liverpool have been informed about the potential cost of signing Sporting Lisbon striker Victor Gyokeres.
According to HITC, Liverpool are interested in acquiring a new striker, with Gyokeres emerging as a target. Sporting have reportedly lowered their asking price for the former Coventry City star, whose release clause is set at £85 million.
The Portuguese club is believed to be willing to accept an offer below that figure, making Gyokeres a more attainable option for the Reds.
As the summer window continues, Liverpool fans eagerly await new signings and the resolution of ongoing transfer speculations.
With the Premier League campaign set to kick off away at Ipswich Town on August 17, the club’s transfer activities in the coming weeks will be crucial in shaping their squad for the new season.
