Liverpool transfer news today: Romano gives Gordon HOPE, Kone AVAILABLE, Reds DETERMINED for Yilmaz
This is your Liverpool transfer update for Wednesday 31 July. We have news items on Anthony Gordon, Baris Alper Yilmaz, Manu Kone, Adrien Rabiot and more.
ROMANO GIVES HOPE FOR GORDON DEAL
Fabrizio Romano has given an update surrounding Liverpool’s potential move for Anthony Gordon stating that the Reds’ interest remains concrete.
The former Everton man had a strong 2023/24 campaign under Eddie Howe for Newcastle. He scored 11 goals in the Premier League whilst also getting 10 assists.
So there was no shock that top sides would be linked with his signature but there was a slight surprise that it was Liverpool given his time at Goodison Park.
However, Gordon is a known boyhood Liverpool fan and the latest update about the possible transfer is that all hope is not lost.
LIVERPOOL MAKE OFFER FOR EURO 2024 TURKEY STAR
Liverpool are said to be ‘extremely determined’ to strike a deal for a £25m winger. The Reds are consistently linked now.
Fotomac in Turkey claims Liverpool seem 'extremely determined' to sign Baris Yilmaz from Galatasaray. Not that it's an easy deal to strike.
Yilmaz has left the decision entirely up to his club, who are reluctant to part with one of their biggest talents. They'd supposedly ask for over £30m to sell the winger - but Liverpool are looking at a cheaper fee.
REDS COULD SIGN FORMER TARGET FOR BARGAIN FEE
Former Liverpool transfer target Manu Kone is desperate to leave Borussia Monchengladbach this summer and could be available for as little as €20m (£16.8m).
Liverpool signed four midfielders last summer ahead of Jurgen Klopp's final campaign with Kone long linked with an Anfield switch as the Reds looked to raid the Bundesliga.
With Liverpool also potentially in the market for a defensive midfielder, could the Reds revive their interest in the Frenchman?
ADRIEN RABIOT PREFERENCE REVEALED
Midfielder Adrien Rabiot has reportedly REJECTED the chance to join Liverpool as he wants a contract offer from Manchester United instead.
This is according to Tuttomercato, who are stating that Rabiot’s next move will certainly be to the Premier League.
The midfielder is coming off the back of a European Championships campaign in which he was a starter for France.
His time at Juventus is at an end as he opted to walk away upon the expiry of his contract and now his next move is imminent.
LIVERPOOL BATTLING IT OUT WITH RIVALS FOR SERIE A MAN
Liverpool are rivalling Aston Villa for the signature of Genoa midfielder Morten Frendrup. That is according to reports in Italy from Tuttomercato.
Frendrup had his first full season in Serie A in the last campaign after joining Genoa in January 2022 and staying put when they got relegated.
For Genoa, he has been a key player in the middle of the park as he featured 39 times in all competitions last season.
Now his form has been noted by some top teams in England and Arne Slot is supposedly one manager who wants him.
