Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth)
Summer 2025
Arsenal and Liverpool are front-runners to sign Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen, whose £50m release clause can be paid in three instalments. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich remain interested but face budget constraints.
Bayern will prioritize signing Jonathan Tah on a free transfer, possibly ruling them out of the race. A decision on Huijsen’s future is expected soon.
Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)
Sunday, final home game of the season
Trent Alexander-Arnold was booed by sections of the Anfield crowd during his first appearance since confirming he will leave Liverpool this summer, with others applauding him.
Subbed on in the 67th minute, the academy graduate received a mixed reception after revealing he won’t renew his contract; Conor Bradley, seen as his successor, started and drew strong support.
Jeremie Frimpong (Bayer Leverkusen), Vanderson (Monaco)
Summer 2025 transfer window
With Trent Alexander-Arnold set to join Real Madrid, Liverpool are targeting Bayer Leverkusen’s Frimpong and Monaco’s Vanderson to strengthen the right-back position.
Frimpong, valued at €35m, is a prolific wing-back option. Vanderson, also tracked by Spurs, could join to compete with Conor Bradley.
Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)
Summer 2025
Trent Alexander-Arnold is close to finalising a move to Real Madrid after informing Liverpool he plans to leave. A verbal agreement is in place on nearly all terms.
While image rights and legalities remain to be finalized, the move is driven by Alexander-Arnold’s desire for a new challenge abroad. Talks with close friend Jude Bellingham helped inform—but did not determine—his decision.
Chelsea vs Liverpool
May 2025
Chelsea’s 3-1 win over Liverpool showcased the long-awaited synergy of their £279m midfield trio — Moisés Caicedo, Enzo Fernández, and Romeo Lavia — who started together for only the sixth time but dominated a weakened Liverpool midfield.
Enzo opened the scoring in the 3rd minute, Lavia commanded the middle until subbed, and Caicedo’s late surge earned a penalty for Palmer’s third. With Champions League qualification and a possible Conference League final ahead, Chelsea’s midfield resurgence may yet salvage their season.
Luis Diaz (Liverpool)
Talks scheduled for post-2024/25 season
Luis Diaz is expected to open discussions with Liverpool about a contract extension following his 100th Premier League appearance and league title win. He has two years remaining on his current deal.
Diaz’s form—14 goals and high chance creation—has prompted Liverpool to initiate talks, though interest from Barcelona and Saudi clubs lingers. The Colombian winger joined from Porto in 2022 and has since won four major trophies with the Reds.
Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)
June 2025
Real Madrid hope to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold in time for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Despite his contract ending in June, Madrid want to fast-track the move for an early debut.
Madrid may pay a nominal fee under €1m while Alexander-Arnold could waive his final month’s wages. Liverpool are reportedly open to discussions ahead of a potential summer departure.
Luis Diaz (Liverpool)
Talks planned for summer 2025
Luis Diaz will open discussions with Liverpool over a contract extension this summer, with two years remaining on his current deal.
The Colombia international has attracted interest from Barcelona and Saudi clubs but remains integral to Liverpool, having scored 14 goals this season and creating chances second only to Mohamed Salah. His form and contribution to Liverpool’s Premier League title win have made him a priority for renewal talks.
Harvey Elliott (Liverpool)
April 2025
Harvey Elliott expressed his desire to stay at Liverpool long-term despite limited minutes this season, stating he is committed but knows his fate lies with club decision-makers.
With zero Premier League starts and 14 bench appearances, Elliott admitted other clubs are monitoring his situation. He hopes to “push on” next season but acknowledged “managers and people above” will influence what happens.
Liverpool
Summer 2025
Liverpool will not participate in the expanded 32-team FIFA Club World Cup despite being UEFA’s higher-ranked side, missing out due to FIFA’s two-club-per-nation rule.
Chelsea and Manchester City qualified based on past Champions League wins, leaving Liverpool excluded despite strong UEFA ranking; Liverpool will instead focus on a pre-season tour of Asia.
