Liverpool will seal a transfer for a teenage prospect for Arsenal, despite the fact that the Gunners first agree a fee for the player this summer, prior to the Reds
Liverpool has agreed a deal with Salford City about a move for Will Wright. The Reds will beat Arsenal to sign the 17-year-old attacker while completing conversations with the player's representatives to get the transfer over the line.
The Gunners agreed with Salford earlier in the summer, but now look to hijack their move. Arsenal is said to have made an offer worth £ 250,000 plus add-on for Wright, a figure that was larger than the first range of Liverpool of £ 100,000 plus add-ons.
But the Merseyside club seems to have returned to win the race to continue a busy summer of transfer company. Wright would have preferred the stay in the northwest.
The teenager made his Salford against Manchester City in January and then made two performances in League Two for the club. Wright can regularly be seen in the club team, owned by Gary Neville and David Beckham.
The plan is set on Wright to participate in the Liverpool's Under-21s. Arne Slot, however, has already signed seven players for his first team so far in his second summer that was in charge of Anfield.
Florian Wirtz has been the head marks when Liverpool broke the British transfer record to land the German international. Slot has also added Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman when the expenditure of the club is approaching £ 300 million.
Liverpool will also see a considerable departure in the form of Luis Diaz. The Colombia International will sign a five -year -old deal with Bayern Munich after the teams corresponded to a transfer of £ 65 million.
Diaz left Liverpool's pre-season to travel to Munich earlier this week after the Merseyside Club had agreed to the transfer during the weekend. The 28-year-old was omitted on Sunday outside the friendly of the Reds-friendly against AC Milan.
Slot has so far been satisfied with the work of the club on the Markt. “I think I also said that I am really happy with the team we had,” said Slot.
“That is what we have shown by not bringing in new players last season. Now we have won the competition, but you can see everything around us – in the Premier League, but we also play in Europe, so we want to achieve things there – that all these teams try to strengthen their squadrons.
“So if you do the same if we did last year, we will probably not be able to win it again. So we have to improve – the players who are still there and we have tried to introduce new energy, but also 'weapons', as you called it, and I think the players we have already shown in the few times we have trained and the games we have played. [Ekitike] Will do that. Really very happy what we have been doing so far, but very happy that we kept the players who had a long -term contract last season. “
