Liverpool are yet to make a summer signing, but captain Virgil van Dijk believes the club will “do the right thing for us” in the transfer market.
“Obviously I think we should make some signings based on how long the season will go,” said the Dutchman after his side beat Sevilla 4-1 on Sunday.
That said, much of the transfer talk around Liverpool over the weekend centred around outgoings.
Here is a recap of the latest transfer rumours from Monday 12 August.
Georgia goalkeeper 'open' to Reds switch
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Liverpool’s interest in Valencia's Giorgi Mamardashvili is genuine.
The goalkeeper, who starred for Georgia at Euro 2024, is very interested in joining the Reds, Romano told GIVEMESPORT.
What's more, the 23-year-old is open to being sent out on loan and everything points towards a deal being completed this summer.
Max Beier snapped up by Dortmund
One player Liverpool won't be signing this summer is Max Beier. The Hoffenheim and Germany forward has decided to join Borussia Dortmund as a replacement for West Ham-bound Niclas Füllkrug.
Florian Plettenberg makes the claim, saying the move will cost the Champions League runners-up around £25m. Only a medical stands in the way and things should all be officially confirmed before long.
Alexander-Arnold set for showdown talks
Liverpool are reportedly planning to hold talks with Trent Alexander-Arnold next week, but a new contract will not be the only topic on the agenda.
According to CaughtOffside, while a new contract for the full-back is a high priority for the club, Alexander-Arnold will speak with coach Arne Slot about his role going forward, having been used as a central midfielder by Gareth Southgate as England reached the final of Euro 2024 earlier in the summer.
Bobby Clark set for unexpected permanent switch
In news that comes as a massive surprise to many, Liverpool are on the verge of allowing one of their most promising young players to leave on a permanent basis.
DaveOCKOP claims that Bobby Clark is on the verge of a permanent transfer to RB Salzburg. The young midfielder enjoyed a breakthrough season at Liverpool last year but it appears he'll move to the club managed by former Reds assistant manager Pep Lijnders.
Reds could sell Ben Doak - if the price is right
Liverpool are also reportedly open to selling Ben Doak, another of their biggest prospects, this summer - if the club feels the offer reflects his potential.
While a loan is the most likely option, surprisingly, the club may be open to a straight sale if someone comes in with the right money.
