A major transfer twist is unfolding as one of the Premier League’s most sought-after stars has reportedly turned down interest from both Manchester United and Arsenal, insisting that his heart is set on a move to Liverpool.
According to multiple reports from England, the player — whose identity is being kept under wraps for now — has made it clear to his representatives that Anfield is his preferred destination, regardless of competing offers. Sources close to the negotiations say the player is “captivated by Liverpool’s project” and believes joining Arne Slot’s side would be the perfect next step in his career.
Manchester United and Arsenal were both said to be preparing significant offers to lure him, but his loyalty and admiration for Liverpool’s playing style and fan culture have tipped the scales. One insider described the situation as “a statement of intent,” noting that the player has already begun informal talks with members of the Liverpool recruitment team.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are reportedly confident about reaching an agreement and see the player as a long-term addition to strengthen their squad ahead of the next transfer window.
If completed, the move could mark one of the most high-profile signings of the upcoming window — and a huge statement for Liverpool’s ambitions under Arne Slot.
