Liverpool are making bold moves in the transfer market as they work towards finalizing three crucial signings ahead of the 2025/26 season. With Arne Slot at the helm, the Reds have already completed a £35 million deal, and excitement is building as another new arrival has been spotted at the AXA Training Centre. A third target is also nearing completion, underlining Liverpool’s ambition to compete for both Premier League and Champions League glory.
The first confirmed signing is Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez. The 21-year-old Hungarian left-back completed his medical on June 25, sealing a £35 million move. Kerkez, who featured in every Premier League match last season, recorded two goals, six assists, and an impressive 169 ball recoveries. His 476 passes into the final third and 22 successful dribbles highlight his suitability for Slot’s high-intensity system. With doubts over Andy Robertson’s future and Kostas Tsimikas’ role, Kerkez’s arrival on a five-year deal until 2030 offers a long-term solution. This move also makes him the most expensive full-back in Liverpool’s history.
Liverpool’s biggest statement of the summer is the £116 million capture of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. The 21-year-old German playmaker was seen training at the AXA Training Centre on June 25, joining up with fellow stars Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong. After a sensational season with 18 goals and 20 assists across 49 games, plus 104 key passes and 87 successful dribbles, Wirtz is expected to supercharge Liverpool’s attack. His ability to operate as an attacking midfielder or out wide fits perfectly with Slot’s flexible 4-2-3-1 formation. Early signs of strong chemistry with Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold have fans eagerly anticipating his impact.
The third potential signing is Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres, who is in advanced talks with the club. The 26-year-old Swedish forward had an extraordinary season, scoring 43 goals and registering 15 assists. With Liverpool backing away from Newcastle’s Alexander Isak due to his £150-200 million price tag, Gyökeres presents a more affordable option, valued between £70-80 million. His arrival could pave the way for possible exits, including Darwin Núñez and Federico Chiesa, while adding even more firepower to Liverpool’s frontline. So far, Liverpool’s summer outlay has surpassed £200 million, including Jeremie Frimpong’s £29.5 million deal, but the £35 million sale of Jarell Quansah to Leverkusen has helped offset some costs. As pre-season approaches, Liverpool’s aggressive recruitment strategy has supporters dreaming of a trophy-laden season
