Liverpool transfer news today: £65m deal nets WINDFALL, Rodrygo ESCAPE ROUTE
The latest on Saturday 10 August as Liverpool make key plans on potential incomings and outgoings.
GOMEZ DECISION AS VILLA SHOW INTEREST
Liverpool’s longest serving player, Joe Gomez, is now the subject of interest from Premier League side Aston Villa.
The defender has been involved in a number of transfer stories this summer and was reportedly left ‘perturbed’ after being involved in a deal that would have seen him head to Newcastle and Anthony Gordon head the other way.
Now Aston Villa have earmarked the 15-cap England international as a potential replacement should Diego Carlos leave the club according to The Telegraph.
WONDERKID SET FOR EXIT
One of Liverpool's hottest prospects, Lewis Koumas, looks set to make a loan move to Championship side Stoke City after agreeing to a new deal.
Koumas was one of the most impressive in a flock of young talent brought into the first-team picture during Jürgen Klopp’s final season at Anfield and he is now reaping the rewards.
Now Lewis Steele of the Daily Mail is reporting that Koumas has put pen to paper on a new deal with Liverpool and will be sent out on loan to championship side Stoke City next season to gain some more first team experience.
SOLANKE EARNS PROFIT FOR REDS
Liverpool could be set to make a massive profit as a former player is set for a big-money move to a Premier League rival.
Reported by The Transfers Podcast, Tottenham have agreed a club record deal with Bournemouth which would see former Reds striker Dominic Solanke move to North London for a £65 million fee.
NETO REACHES AGREEMENT WITH CHELSEA
One of Liverpool’s Premier League rivals have reached an agreement to sign a star winger who many fans saw as being a potential heir to Mohamed Salah.
The Athletic have reported that Chelsea have come to an agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers for their 24 year-old star man Pedro Neto. The Portuguese wide player has been consistently linked with a variety of Premier League clubs including Tottenham and Liverpool.
It had been reported earlier this week that Spurs were in the driving seat when it came to capturing Neto’s signature, but high-spending Chelsea have surprised many by agreeing to Wolves’ terms of a €60m+ fee.
RODRYGO OFFERED TO PL CLUBS
Real Madrid have reportedly offered Liverpool a two-time Champions League winner as the Spanish side seek to offload a forward.
According to reports in the Spanish outlet Fichajes, Madrid are looking to sell Brazilian forward Rodrygo, with Carlo Ancelotti wanting to create space in his front line to accommodate superstar signing Kylian Mbappe.
However, if Rodrygo is to end up at Anfield, Liverpool will have to face stiff competition from one of their fiercest Premier League rivals.
LIVERPOOL MAKE STEFAN BAJCETIC DECISION
Liverpool are willing to let Stefan Bajcetic leave the club on loan this summer, according to a new report.
Liverpool news outlet DaveOCKOP have reported that Slot has made it clear that he is willing to let Bajectic leave the club temporarily before the transfer window slams shut.
Reportedly, the young Spaniard has been informed of Slot's decision.
