All signs point toward third Liverpool signing

Liverpool will sign Milos Kerkez as things stand with it now truly a matter of time. All the media noise right now suggests that a deal to sign Kerkez is both a matter of time and a matter of finding the right tweaks to a deal that is primed to be completed.

Liverpool are not stressing about signing Hugo Ekitike despite Manchester United entering the race for the highly rated 22-year-old German striker. I voiced my concerns about signing Ekitike for £85m (€100m) yesterday after Frankfurt CEO Markus Krosche publicly sent a message to interested parties seeking to poach him this summer. “If the price isn’t right, then he’ll simply stay with us,” Krösche said to regional paper Wiesbadener Kurier as quoted by Bulinews.

Liverpool have reportedly learned the price they will have to pay if they want to sign Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon. A major benefit of a scenario where Liverpool sign Gordon is that Everton fans will be absolutely incensed by it. The 24-year-old spent his Academy days with the Blues and only left the club after 11 years in 2023 when he joined the Magpies.
Barcelona chiefs give ‘green light’ to ‘Operation Luis Diaz

Barcelona are beginning to go through the motions as they plot how to extract Luis Diaz from Liverpool despite reports that they cannot afford him. The Colombian was an integral part of Liverpool’s 20th league title triumph and attempts from any supporters to downplay his importance are misplaced. Liverpool, for their part, do not want to sell him but their reluctance to offer him a deserved bumper deal will force the issue whether or not they like it.

Liverpool’s record-setting summer transfer window has blown supporters away and some believe that it will continue to get even more impressive. As it is, the Reds are set to make Jeremie Frimpong (already signed), Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez their first three summer signings and that alone would be an incredible way for Arne Slot to defend his Premier League crown.

Liverpool have reached an agreement with Bayer Leverkusen for the signing of German superstar Florian Wirtz for a fee in the region of £100m basic plus £16m in bonuses. For the second time this summer, Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes – with the support of CEO of Football Michael Edwards – has agreed a transfer fee with the Bundesliga club. Wirtz will follow his teammate and friend Jeremie Frimpong to Anfield after the latter completed his transfer to Merseyside last month.

The Luis Diaz saga has taken a new twist with the revelation that Barcelona might not even be able to afford him despite being desperate to add him to their squad. The 28-year-old tallied 25 goal contributions this season and has earned a lot of attention from clubs around the world but Liverpool reportedly do not want to sell him. Despite that, Barcelona and Saudia Arabian clubs alike are keen to sign him this summer.

Liverpool have discussed signing Victor Osimhen with four more strikers under evaluation to replace Darwin Nunez. The former Benfica star is one of the most exciting and entertaining players to don Anfield red in recent seasons but he simply doesn’t have the consistency to become the elite striker that Liverpool gambled £85m on him developing into.

22-year-old Bournemouth star Illia Zabarnyi is set to shun Premier League interest to sign for Paris Saint-Germain despite Liverpool making contact this summer. The centre-back was exceptional during the 2024/25 season and if it weren’t for the form of Dean Huijsen, there would be way more hype over the Ukrainian star. One of the best 1v1 defenders in the Premier League this season, it’s no surprise that Liverpool are one of the sides linked to sign him.

Alan Shearer has evaluated Liverpool’s summer transfer activity and come to the conclusion that the Reds will once again be the top dogs in the Premier League next season. As things stand, Arne Slot has signed Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen but is also set to add Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez to the squad he dominated the league with on his first attempt.
