Liverpool builds a busy window in the summer transfer, where the Reds do their business early, while Arne Slot is preparing to defend their Premier League title
Fresh from winning the Premier League title, look Liverpool to start a busy summer transfer window. Boss Arne Slot wants to ensure that his party has placed a strong title defense in the next period.
That means that new players must be signed, in contract for the incredibly quiet window last summer. Jeremie Frimpong seems to complete a step to Anfield, while a deal for Milos Kerkez is also progressing.
The latest name to be linked to a move to Anfield is Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz. The German was an important player when Leverkusen won the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal Double last season.
The Reds have now chosen him as a player who can stimulate their attacking options. But Liverpool Chiefs may also have one eye on the starting door and the list of departure is probably led by Caoimhin Kelleher.
The goalkeeper has hinted that he is preparing to leave Anfield in search of more game time. Here, Spiegel Voetbal around the last Liverpool Transfer News on.
Wirtz Bid submitted
Liverpool has submitted a club record break bid for Florian Wirtz. The offer is supposed to be worth more than £ 85 million, which would exceed the costs that the Reds paid for Darwin Nunez.
Negotiations continue, where Wirtz wants to make the switch to Merseyside. Leverkusen's director Simon Rolfes has confirmed that Liverpool has made an approach, but has refused to comment on.
“It is currently an open subject with Florian,” replied the Leverkusen Executive. “There is a concrete interest from Liverpool, but there is no longer to say. Florian is our player.”
Konate offers a contract update
Ibrahima Konate has insisted that he wants to stay in Liverpool, but admitted that contract discussions are not currently 'demand'. The Frenchman will see that his current deal will expire next summer and would like to agree with new conditions.
“I know I have a lot of goals with this club: to become a leader, to win everything. I am very happy to be honest here,” he said. “This is another conversation with the club and my agent, we will see what will happen in the coming weeks or I will not know when, but we will see, let me say that.
“Progress? Not really – but my agent met the club last week, but I don't know what will happen. I can't say what my agent said to me, but yes, we'll see what will happen.”
Kelleher is preparing for exit
Caoimhin Kelleher has dropped a heavy hint that he is preparing to continue this summer from Liverpool. The keeper has had difficulty in playing time behind Alisson, but believes that he needs what is needed to be a Premier League no. 1.
“I think I also said it before, I have the feeling that I am a number one and I have the feeling that I am good enough to play week in week,” said Kelleher.
“That is what I want to do. This season I was clearly lucky to play a lot of games … but yes, certainly something I am looking at.”
