Liverpool transfer news today: Mamardashvili TALKS, Luis Diaz BOMBSHELL and Gallagher HIJACK
With Liverpool having failed to complete any incoming first-team moves so far this summer, here are the latest reports as the Reds bounce back from Martin Zubimendi's snub.
Mamardashvili latest
Liverpool's interest in Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili appears to be ramping up, with a series of reports yesterday detailing scheduled talks, potential plans for the Euro 2024 star as well as his alleged fee.
Luis Diaz linked with Barcelona AND Man City
Luis Diaz caught the eye in Arne Slot's first game at Anfield against Sevilla at the weekend and even scored a sensational goal.
The Liverpool winger hasn't quite gotten going in a red shirt so far. However, he is highly rated at the club and has been lauded by his teammates in the past. He was described as an 'unbelievable' player by Conor Bradley in an interview with LFCTV last season.
But he's also been in Barcelona's transfer radar with Liverpool reportedly open to listening to offers for the Colombian winger.
And it seems Barcelona are not the only club interested in Diaz. In the latest sensational claim in Spanish media, it has been suggested that Diaz has agreed a five year deal with Manchester City.
Hughes under pressure
With Liverpool's new sporting director coming up short so far in the transfer market, pressure on him to prove his worth to the new structure at Anfield is hotting up.
As things stand, Hughes, headhunted by Michael Edwards, is 0/4 when looking at his to-do list this summer having failed to land his primary transfer target in Zubimendi while sorting zero contract renewals.
Liverpool's Conor Gallagher hijack
More this morning on Liverpool's reported interest to offer a way out of Conor Gallagher's summer transfer saga.
The former Chelsea captain has seen a move to Atletico Madrid break down in recent days and with the West London club taking a firm stance on selling Gallagher they will look to offload him to the next interested party, which could very well be the Reds.
