Williams UPDATE, Adrian LEAVING, Lijnders wants Clark - Liverpool transfer news today
Here’s our Liverpool FC transfer news recap. The Reds will be parting ways with Adrian after five years.
Liverpool are getting right into the transfer window now, with incomings and outgoings getting closer. One of the latter has essentially been confirmed, with Adrian rejected a contract offer from the club.
Bobby Clark could also be off, with plenty of interest there.
Nico Williams is a particularly interesting one, though. Chelsea are ready to pull out of that race - can Liverpool take advantage?
Here's our Liverpool FC transfer news recap.
Chelsea feel Williams is expensive
Chelsea are ready to pull out of the transfer race for Nico Williams which opens the door wider for Liverpool. The deal is said to be too expensive.
Nico Williams is generating a lot of hype with his efforts at Euro 2024. Liverpool are one of those supposedly interested in his services.
The Athletic claims the Reds held internal discussions over Williams and whether to add him to the squad this summer. Of course, they're not the only ones having those discussions.
Adrian to leave Liverpool
Liverpool have failed with a contract offer and will now lose Adrian this summer. The Reds have had him for five years.
ABC in Seville reports that Adrian is on the brink of signing for Real Betis. The goalkeeper is from Seville and started his career at Betis before moving to West Ham United in 2013.
He's been linked with a return to the club for a few years now, but consistently signed one-year contracts to remain with Liverpool. Adrian was offered another one this summer, in fact, but he has rejected the offer and will leave Anfield.
Lijnders wants Clark
Pep Lijnders wants to bring a player from Liverpool to RB Salzburg this summer. He’s not the only one in the race, however.
DaveOCKOP claims that Bobby Clark is at the centre of a fight for his signature. The midfielder enjoyed a breakout season with Liverpool in 2023/24 and appears set for a loan move this summer.
Teams are certainly lining up to get him. The claim suggests RB Salzburg and RB Leipzig would like Clark, while Norwich City are hoping he'd drop down to the Championship for a season.
Mrozek bid rejected
Liverpool have turned down a loan offer from Portuguese club Vitoria SC for young goalkeeper Fabian Mrozek.
The Reds' decision comes as they navigate a complex situation regarding the futures of Caoimhin Kelleher and Adrian ahead of the new season.
Mrozek, who was on the bench for six matches in the 2023/24 season, including five Europa League fixtures and a Premier League match against Burnley, joined Liverpool from FC Wroclaw in 2020 but is yet to make his senior debut.
He did, however, make a pre-season appearance in a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace two years ago.
Hancko wants Atletico move
One of Arne Slot’s favourites at Feyenoord, David Hancko, has been linked with a move to Liverpool this summer. He’s now made his decision.
Liverpool have been consistently linked with David Hancko since Arne Slot agreed to take over from Jurgen Klopp. And with good reason, too, as the Slovakian has been fantastic for Feyenoord under the Dutchman.
He's now at Euro 2024 with his country and is expected to move to a new club once it's over. However, that club likely won't be Liverpool.
