Liverpool have been very quiet in the summer transfer window to some of their Premier League rivals.
While Manchester United have spent £150m to sign four new players, the Reds are yet to make any signings. Arne Slot, new number 6 for his midfield, but an agreement has not yet been reached with Martín Zubimendi dragging his feet at Real Sociedad.
The biggest Liverpool-related move so far has been the sale of Fabio Carvalho to Brentford for £27. 5m. And it looks like the youngster could be on the verge of leaving, with Bobby Clark in a £10m bid from Red Bull Salzburg.
But things haven’t stopped yet, and there are still two weeks until the window closes on August 31. With that in mind, here are the most recent headlines and rumours surrounding Liverpool.
Liverpool’s pursuit of Zubimendi has a soap opera, with the Spanish midfielder making a dramatic 180-degree turn to reject the resolution after telling Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes that he was enthusiastic.
He is Liverpool’s number one target and they were willing to pay his £51m release clause. Spanish newspaper El Diario Vasco reported that Liverpool would make a definitive “take it or leave it” offer to tempt him, and the former Liverpool and Real Sociedad player. The player John Aldridge has given his opinion on the situation.
“Martín Zubimendi will have been divided in two on whether or not he deserves to move to Liverpool. It’s all very political, we don’t know what was said behind closed doors,” Aldridge wrote in his column for the Liverpool EchoArray.
“I had Liverpool in one ear and Real Sociedad in the other. It’s complicated in that scenario because, as a Sociedad fan, you love the club. “
Liverpool could update Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Manu Koné if Zubimendi does not sign for Real Sociedad.
Kone was heavily linked with Liverpool last summer and can be had for around £21 million (€25 million) according to Sky Sports Germany. The midfielder has two years left on his contract, but is expected to leave this summer after betting on France at the Olympic Games.
He wanted to play in the Champions League so he could break into the senior France team and push for a transfer.

Giorgi Mamardashvili surprised Valencia’s most sensible leaders by having his head turned towards Liverpool. Spanish media outlet Superdeporte reports that Valencia expected Mamardashvili to remain in the country this summer after receiving assurances from those around him about his plans.
But the Georgian goalkeeper attracted the long-term contract worth €4m (£3. 42m) a year offered by Liverpool, and he is content to go on loan to Bournemouth to gain experience as well. He is known in Liverpool as Alisson’s long-term successor.
However, it turns out that there is still work to be done, as Valencia is asking for €40 million (£34 million) for his services. However, reports on Spain imply that the two sides are “destined” to reach a compromise.
