In this article we will bring you all of the Liverpool transfer news from today. Make sure to check back to the site for more daily transfer updates throughout the summer.
Saul Niguez “has agreement” if suitable offer is made
Liverpool have been a midfielder light since Georginio Wijnaldum departed the club for Paris Saint Germain upon the expiry of his contract on Merseyside. This has led to speculation around replacements running rife throughout the summer.
One of the more concrete rumours is that of Saul Niguez, the wantaway Atletico Madrid midfielder. After a decade in Madrid, it seems as though Saul is keen on a move away following the signing of Rodrigo De Paul from Udinese.
According to Spanish outlet Marca [translated through the Mirror], Jurgen Klopp’s side have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Saul, with the report saying that the midfielder has an agreement with Atletico Madrid detailing that he can leave were a suitable offer to be made for him.
Following the sales of fringe players, will Liverpool now be in a position to make a move?
Liverpool “not ruling out” Jarrod Bowen move
Further forward, Liverpool will certainly be looking for attacking cover too, with the African Cup of Nations taking place in January. Both Mohammed Salah and Sadio Mane are likely to be away from the club for around a month, leaving options sparce.
As a result, Liverpool sources have refused to rule out a sensational swoop for West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen, as per the Daily Star. The Hammer is thought to be highly valued by the London club, however, with a fee of around 35 million pounds cited as a point where they would begin negotiations.
The West Ham winger enjoyed a strong campaign last time out, netting eight times and grabbing a further five assists in 38 appearances as he helped David Moyes and co. to clinch Europa League football. Could he help Liverpool back to the top of the table?
Liverpool enter race for Locatelli
Another day, another club allegedly in the race for Manuel Locatelli. The Arsenal and Juventus target has now, if Italian media are to be believed, received another suitor in the form of the Merseyside club.
Any movement on this deal will happen in the next few days, with the Sassuolo CEO setting a deadline of August 8th for the sale of the Italian, who impressed at Euro 2020.
Of course, Liverpool fans will be wary of signing another Italian, having less than fond memories of Fabio Borini, Mario Balotelli and Alberto Aquilani, the last three Italians to represent the side.
