Isakly What Was Needed: Liverpool Transfers Thread (2025-26)

We absolutely have. World's best manager, best goalie, best CB, best forward.

All at the same time.

We'll see a lot of fans going berserk as they realize we're not able to bring in similar replacements.

 

Yup we're seeing the passing of one of the golden generations of Liverpool players. A team of legends. Great while it lasted.

Liverpool and Manchester United have stepped up their interest in Monaco and France winger Maghnes Akliouche, 24. (Teamtalk)

 

Akliouche is Wirtz 2.0 and a couple years older. Makes no sense to add another pace-less #10 to our attacking options.

 

Agree completely on the RB. With Trent leaving and Bradley or Frimpong coming in it was a good, not great replacement. Outside backs adding to the attack are extremely important to the Klopp/Slot style of play. On the left I'm not sold on Kerkez but he's beginning to play better. Given injuries etc and Robbo leaving, it's very important we get that right on both sides.

 

It appears Ibou has agreed a new contract. He definitely has divided opinion this season but I'm happy if he's re-signed.

 

His form has been iffy this season but we know what hes capable of plus its one less player we need to buy.

And the last thing we need is more bedding in. Gonna have enough as it is.

 

that's why it's a blurb off some back-page sports tattle.....

also, we could get harvey Elliot back for that Wirtz understudy purpose

 

Liverpool have reportedly moved to the front of the queue to sign Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes this summer.

The Brazilian is likely to be available on the market following Wolves’ impending relegation, and with the Reds in need of a new midfielder, Brazilian outlet RTI Esporte have installed them as favourites.

Given the state of his current club, it is even suggested that Gomes could be free to leave for far less than his current £60m valuation, and Liverpool are now in pole position to capitalise.
It has become clear over the course of the season that Liverpool badly need a new defensive-minded midfielder to ease the burden on Ryan Gravenberch in particular.

Sounds interesting. Is he any good? Never paid much attention.

God knows we need reinforcements all over the pitch.

 

He always seems to play well against us. A def mid which we do need so maybe something to this.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle, Barcelona and Real Madrid are all linked with a summer move for highly rated Netherlands and AZ Alkmaar midfielder Kees Smit, 20. (Caughtoffside)

 

I'm all for a new CM, but IMO one of the reasons arsenal are dull this year is Zubimendi - not much ooomph out of the line, compared to Xhaka or Odegaard the Sboz idea of he, Grav and (Wharton would be nice - or Tchoumani) in behind Wirtz isn't a bad idea at all.....

 

if he's for sale. Buy. Buy. Buy.
and as Slayer put it
.. and Buy again
FVCK Real Madrid

 

Liverpool are looking at Brighton and Gambia winger Yankuba Minteh, 21 - who worked under Arne Slot at Feyenoord - to potentially replace outgoing Egypt forward Mohamed Salah, 33. (Mirror)
...... Good player.

 

I've seen his name mentioned a lot (never watched him play) and it seems he's a real talent.

Some huge challenges though:
- He signed with RBL less than a year ago (July 25). Unless we throw a ton of money at them I'm not sure why they'd want to release him?
- He's only played 27 games in the Bundesliga. Our transfer team require a lot more than that to avoid the "one hit wonders"?
- Looks like RBL will get into the CL so if we don't ......

 

Liverpool and Chelsea are set to battle it out for 19-year-old Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi, with the Cherries willing to accept an offer in the region of £60m. (Caught Offside)

.... I wouldn't be able to pick him out of a police lineup (unless the others were Sumo wretslers I guess).

 

Liverpool Among Contenders for Mingueza as Transfer Race Intensifies
Back in December, Anfield Index exclusively reported on Liverpool’s interest in a potential move for Celta Vigo defender Oscar Mingueza.

Now, fresh reporting from Graeme Bailey for TeamTalk has also placed Liverpool firmly in the mix for Oscar Mingueza, with the Spanish international attracting widespread attention ahead of the summer window. The 26-year-old, is set to become a free agent, prompting what Bailey describes as a rapidly escalating chase.

As stated in the report, “More than half a dozen Premier League clubs have now joined the race” for Mingueza, underlining just how competitive this situation has become. Alongside Liverpool, clubs including Arsenal and Manchester City are now involved, with intermediaries actively exploring potential deals.
