Arne Slot is keen to sign French midfielder Adrien Rabiot, regardless of Martin Zubimendi completing his transfer from Real Sociedad.
A deal for the Spanish star is expected to be finalized in the coming days and Liverpool appear to be well stocked in midfield, with Slot still keen to complete a deal with Juventus for former Manchester United target Rabiot.
Meanwhile, Barcelona appear to be the newest club willing to have a verbal exchange with Trent Alexander-Arnold when the full-back and sometime England midfielder enters the final year of his contract amid interest from Real Madrid. And Fabio Carvalho is close to achieving a deal with Premier League rivals Brentford.
Here are the stories of Anfield’s big moves as the start of the Premier League’s new crusade approaches.
Liverpool remain indifferent to the prospect of wasting Trent Alexander-Arnold, despite continued reports of interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Alexander-Arnold has entered the final year of his contract with his boyhood club and has attracted many admiring looks in Spain. Liverpool’s vice-captain holds all the cards and plans to bide his time before making a decision on his future.
Liverpool are in the same situation as Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk and know they want to fix things. The summer move window is open for the rest of August and, even if none of their key players are requesting a move, there is some danger down the road.
And the Spanish media claim that Conor Bradley’s progression at Anfield may open the door to Alexander-Arnold’s departure.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has added former Juventus free agent Adrien Rabiot to his coveted list, which already includes Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi.
The Reds are close to agreeing a deal for Spanish defensive midfielder Zubimendi that will ultimately allow them to pay his £51. 5m buyout.
They, the winner of the European Championship, will be his new number 6. Zubimendi replaced Manchester City’s Rodri at half-time of the Euro 2024 final over England and stepped into the stage on the biggest stage.
But it is possible that the French midfielder Rabiot will also arrive.
Liverpool have reached a deal worth up to £27. 5m with Brentford for the transfer of Fabio Carvalho.
Carvalho, 21, joined the Reds in 2022 from Fulham in a deal valued at £7m. But despite promising first impressions, adding a late goal against Newcastle in his sixth game for Liverpool, Portugal’s overseas Under-21s have struggled to identify himself in the first-team plans.
And having started – and inspired – each of Liverpool’s four pre-season friendlies in the United States, Carvalho is set to sign for Brentford on a permanent move before the end of the transfer window as part of a shrewd Reds deal. .
