Here's all your latest Liverpool FC transfer news.
Big Salah boost
A report from Masrawy claims that Salah is not in any talks with Saudi teams, and that “the door is closed so far” on a move to the Saudi Pro League.
The report also confirms that Salah’s priority is to remain at Anfield and to sign a contract extension with Liverpool.
If an agreement can’t be reached, Salah is reportedly willing to listen to the proposal of Paris Saint Germain, who could also offer the Egyptian monster wages.
PSG have been linked with Salah previously and he could prove the ideal replacement for Kylian Mbappe, who left the French capital to join Real Madrid this summer.
If negotiations are underway between Salah and the club, and the player’s priority is indeed to remain at Anfield, then a new deal starts to seem more likely.
Record Rio Ngumoha fee?
Liverpool’s academy is blessed with a roster of bright prospects, and under the tutelage of head coach Arne Slot, some are sure to grow into first-team talents.
One of the Reds’ most exciting young players, Rio Ngumoha, is yet to play for the first team, but the 16-year-old has already made plenty of headlines.
After recently providing a stunning assist against Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Youth League, and sharing his aspirations to one day win the Ballon d'Or, it now looks as though the signing of Ngumoha could cause a headache for higher-ups at Liverpool.
The winger signed from Chelsea last summer after the move passed the Premier League’s five-step approval process, but the Blues were left furious and now a tribunal will be called to determine how much compensation Liverpool must pay.
£50m Tchouameni talks
According to a report by Sky, the Reds have begun enquiring about a deal for Aurelien Tchouameni as Real Madrid feel he will not be able to fill the void left by Toni Kroos’ retirement long-term.
The report states: “Liverpool Football Club has made contact with [Tchouameni’s] professional representatives in recent days to explore the possibility of a transfer.”
It also states that Madrid have set a £50 million price tag on Tchouameni, similar to the fee Liverpool were willing to pay for Martin Zubimendi in the summer.
Tchouameni is a long-time target of Liverpool, who tried to sign him back in 2022, as the Frenchman has admitted himself.
Salah's Saudi interest
Although Saudi Arabia has always been flaunted as a possible destination should Salah leave Liverpool, even before the forward was into the final year of his contract, the club that were most interested in his signature were Al-Ittihad.
The Jeddah-based club even reportedly made a €150 million bid for the Egyptian King in September 2023.
Now however, it looks as though it could in fact be one of Al-Ittihad’s biggest rivals, Al-Hilal, that may add Salah to their ranks in the summer.
According to talkSPORT's Saudi football correspondent, Ben Jacobs, Al-Hilal want to sign Salah at the start of June so that the winger can be a part of their FIFA Club World Cup campaign.
Marmoush has plans
Although there is plenty of speculation around Viktor Gyokeres, it appears a deal for Eintracht Frankfurt’s Omar Marmoush may be edging closer.
The Egyptian forward has been in red-hot form this season, producing 21 goals and assists in his first 14 games, and he is currently only one goal behind Harry Kane in the Bundesliga top goal scorers list.
It will not come as a surprise then that, according to Christian Falk and Tobi Altschäffl of Bild, Bayern Munich are interested in signing the 25-year-old.
Liverpool supporters can take some relief from the fact that the pair also reported that the Reds will be Bayern’s biggest competition for Marmoush’s signature.
A report in the November 4 print edition of Bild also shared that Marmoush’s ‘dream’ is to “succeed fellow countryman, Mohamed Salah, at Liverpool”.
