Liverpool is actively exploring summer transfer options, with Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, and Victor Osimhen among the players being linked to the club.
The Reds head into the international break after a tough stretch, having been knocked out of the Champions League and losing the Carabao Cup final at Wembley. Despite being favorites, Liverpool suffered a defeat to Newcastle United, with goals from Alexander Isak and Dan Burn securing the Magpies’ first major domestic trophy since 1955. Federico Chiesa’s late goal gave Liverpool hope, but they ultimately fell short.
With the next fixture against Everton not until early next month, transfer speculation is ramping up. Names such as Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Morten Frendrup, and Victor Osimhen have surfaced in recent reports.
Osimhen to Liverpool?
Nigerian international William Troost-Ekong has hinted that Victor Osimhen could join Liverpool this summer. The Napoli striker is widely expected to leave, with multiple Premier League clubs reportedly interested. While Osimhen is a Chelsea fan, Troost-Ekong revealed that he has held discussions with several top clubs, including Liverpool.
Brighton’s Joao Pedro Not Available for Cheap
Brighton & Hove Albion have no plans to let Joao Pedro leave on a bargain deal. Reports suggest he does not have a release clause, meaning any transfer would require a significant offer. Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Newcastle are all keeping an eye on the former Watford forward.
Newcastle Firm on Isak’s Future
Newcastle United has made it clear that Alexander Isak is not for sale. Club chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan has reportedly instructed officials to reject any offers, with no asking price even being discussed. The club is also planning to offer Isak a new contract.
Liverpool’s Bundesliga Targets
Liverpool is reportedly monitoring several Bundesliga players ahead of the transfer window. Nico Schlotterbeck, Konstantinos Koulierakis, and Ansgar Knauff are on the radar, particularly if Mohamed Salah leaves. Additionally, Jeremie Frimpong appears to be a strong target, with reports suggesting that Arne Slot is in regular communication with the Bayer Leverkusen defender. Frimpong has a €40 million (£34m/$44m) release clause.
Carragher Calls for Major Signings
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has urged the club to make up to six signings this summer. Speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, he emphasized the need for reinforcements, including a center-back, a right-back (with Trent Alexander-Arnold potentially leaving), a midfielder to replace Wataru Endo, a center forward, and a left winger. He believes three of these signings should be immediate starters, with three more serving as strong squad options.
