Liverpool are targeting Crystal Palace captain Marc Guéhi and Bayern Munich’s Dayot Upamecano to strengthen their defense, with renewed January bids expected. The Reds narrowly missed out on Guéhi in the summer, while Bayern are monitoring Nottingham Forest’s Murillo as an alternative.
Journalist Florian Plettenberg reports Liverpool plan moderate business after record-breaking 2024 spending, while Bayern could swap players with Juventus, who are pursuing Raphaël Guerreiro and Josip Stanisic. Squad balancing will dictate which deals materialize first.

AC Milan are still paying Origi €4 million annually despite his last competitive appearance coming in May 2023. Attempts to terminate the Belgian forward’s contract early have stalled, leaving the Rossoneri burdened with his wages until 2026.
Signed on a free from Liverpool in 2022, Origi failed to make an impact before loans and fitness issues derailed his Milan career. He’s currently training privately and absent from the club’s setup. Negotiations for a settlement will resume in early 2026.

Liverpool are carefully managing Isak’s integration following his drawn-out transfer from Newcastle, which disrupted his pre-season. The Swedish striker remains weeks from peak fitness, but early flashes — including a goal and assist — show his potential under manager Arne Slot.
The two-month transfer saga kept Isak sidelined as Newcastle stalled negotiations. Now adjusting to Liverpool’s rhythm, he’s rebuilding fitness while balancing minutes. With crucial fixtures ahead, fans are hopeful he hits top form within the next month.

Liverpool are considering a move for Bournemouth striker Antoine Semenyo, with sporting director Richard Hughes pushing for a reunion after signing him once before. Semenyo is second in the Golden Boot race with six goals.
Despite losing key defenders, Bournemouth sit fourth in the table thanks to Semenyo’s form. Spurs, Manchester United, and Chelsea are also keen. Bournemouth would demand £75m+, making him one of the most expensive forwards on the market.

October 2025

Bayern Munich sporting director Christoph Freund has dismissed speculation over Michael Olise’s future after reports of €100m Premier League and PSG interest. Bayern are preparing to offer the winger a new contract despite his current deal running until 2029.
Freund insisted Bayern are “under no pressure” and see Olise as a long-term cornerstone, potentially for the next decade. The French international has 54 goal contributions since last season and 11 in 10 matches this campaign. Bayern plan to raise his €12m salary, still far below Harry Kane’s, to reflect his status and stave off interest from abroad.

Bayern Join Race for Palace Captain Guehi

Bayern Munich have made Marc Guehi a serious target, holding early talks with his representatives. The defender, whose move to Liverpool collapsed last summer, could now choose between multiple European giants if he leaves Palace.
Bayern’s Max Eberl is a strong admirer, with the club weighing moves depending on Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae’s futures. Guehi would reunite with ex-Palace teammate Michael Olise and England colleague Harry Kane in Bavaria. With Liverpool short on fit centre-backs and Real Madrid plus Barcelona monitoring him, Guehi could be at the center of a major 2026 transfer battle.

Liverpool’s long-standing interest in Ronald Araújo faces competition from Juventus, Chelsea, and Tottenham. Despite enquiries over the summer, the Uruguayan defender remains committed to staying at Barcelona this season.
Araújo, contracted until 2031, is focused on helping Hansi Flick’s side chase the Champions League. Barcelona are not entertaining a sale, but clubs continue to monitor his situation closely given his stature as one of Europe’s top defenders.

Arne Slot dropped £116m signing Florian Wirtz from Liverpool’s XI against Chelsea after a poor start with no goals or assists in nine games. The decision reflects pressure as the Reds try to halt back-to-back defeats.
Critics, including Jamie Carragher, say Wirtz disrupted Liverpool’s intensity while failing to replicate Trent Alexander-Arnold’s creative influence. Slot insists patience is required but faces fan pressure after heavy investment. Liverpool can return to top spot with a Stamford Bridge win.
