Liverpool transfer news today: Van Dijk to STAY and Zubimendi DOUBLE DEAL
Here's all your transfer news for Friday 29th November 2024.
EXCLUSIVE: Virgil van Dijk is STAYING at Liverpool
Virgil van Dijk is expected to stay at Liverpool with the captain seemingly set for a new contract. His current deal expires in June.
Anfield Watch understands that Virgil van Dijk will be staying with Liverpool. The Dutchman’s agent is currently telling interested parties that he’s no longer attainable.
Van Dijk’s current deal expires in June, of course, but the Reds have been working behind the scenes to tie him down. It now appears they’ve done that.
Liverpool handed INCREDIBLE Martin Zubimendi double deal update
Manchester City’s visit to Anfield on Sunday is already being touted as the most anticipated game of the season and for good reason.
Liverpool have a chance to go 11 points ahead of the four-time defending Premier League champions, who are viewing the game as the ultimate ‘get-right’ moment as their season is coming apart at the seams.
A significant part of Man City’s problems stems from the season-ending injury Rodri suffered against Arsenal back in September.
As a result, City are looking to plug the Rodri-shaped gap in January with two Liverpool-linked signings.
Liverpool READY to sign 17-year-old SENSATION
Liverpool have had great success in the transfer market in recent years, using their profile as one of the best places for young players to progress their careers to entice some of the brightest talents in the game.
Since Brexit, English clubs have had to adjust their transfer policies. Clubs can no longer strike transfers for foreign players until they are 18 years old.
It means that Liverpool have had to turn their attention to finding the best young British players, and to bringing them in at a young age to either develop into first-team players or to sell them for big profits.
And now Liverpool are looking to repeat the trick by bringing in another 17-year-old who is tipped for the top.
Liverpool linked with GOALSCORING goalkeeping PRODIGY on free transfer
Liverpool are very well stocked in the goalkeeping department at present although changes are likely by the start of next season.
With Giorgi Mamardashvili coming to the club on a permanent basis after his Valencia loan ends, it leaves the future of Alisson Becker and deputy Caoimhin Kelleher in the balance.
Further down the pecking order - and the age ranks - are Vitezslav Jaros and the highly-rated Kornel Miściur but there are signs that sporting director Richard Hughes has one eye on improving the area further.
