Liverpool’s summer transfer window is quickly closing, and the club is feeling the pressure to strengthen their squad before the deadline on September 1. While they recently signed Wataru Endo for £16 million to address midfield gaps left by the departures of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson to the Saudi Pro League, more additions are still needed. Liverpool is interested in a left-sided central defender and may face further departures.
One player on Liverpool’s radar is Dutch midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, who has been linked with both Liverpool and Manchester United. Gravenberch is reportedly unhappy with his lack of playing time at Bayern Munich and was recently an unused substitute in their win over Werder Bremen. Liverpool’s chief scout Dave Fallows traveled to Germany to gather information about the former Ajax player, and the club is expected to make a £20 million bid soon. However, Bayern may be reluctant to sell a player so close to the transfer window deadline.
Fulham has also been receiving significant offers for their star players Aleksandar Mitrovic and Joao Palhinha. Liverpool has shown interest in Palhinha, who impressed during his debut Premier League season. Fulham manager Marco Silva revealed that the club has received unexpected offers in large numbers this season. Palhinha, who suffered a shoulder injury in preseason, did not play in Fulham’s recent win over Everton.
While Liverpool has lost Fabinho and Henderson, manager Jurgen Klopp is adamant that their star goalkeeper Alisson will not be following them to the Middle East. The club has no intention of entertaining any bids for the Brazilian shot-stopper. Klopp emphasized that Alisson’s situation is different from that of the midfielders, as he believes the goalkeeper can play for another 10 years. As of now, no offers have been made for Alisson.
In conclusion, Liverpool faces a race against time to bolster their squad in the summer transfer window. Their focus remains on midfield reinforcements and a left-sided central defender. Meanwhile, they have also shown interest in Fulham’s Joao Palhinha. However, Liverpool is determined to keep Alisson and has no plans to entertain any offers for the goalkeeper. The clock is ticking, and Liverpool must act swiftly to secure the necessary additions before the transfer window closes.
