Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace)
Summer 2025
Liverpool hope to sign Adam Wharton for over £50 million but must convince the midfielder he will get regular minutes ahead of the World Cup.
Wharton has impressed after returning from injury, helping Crystal Palace reach the FA Cup final, but prioritizes game time in his next move.
Darwin Núñez (Liverpool)
Summer 2025 Transfer Window
Al Hilal have made Liverpool striker Darwin Núñez a top target as they seek a marquee signing amid Saudi Pro League expansion plans.
Liverpool aim to recoup much of the £85m paid for Núñez in 2022; Saudi clubs are among the few who can meet their financial demands.
Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth)
April 2025
Bayern Munich have joined the growing list of top clubs pursuing Dean Huijsen, with five Premier League sides and Real Madrid also showing strong interest.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle, and Tottenham are tracking the £50m-rated Spain international. The transfer race remains wide open due to high competition and early-stage negotiations.
Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig)
April 2025
Manchester United and Liverpool are eyeing Xavi Simons, who joined Leipzig permanently in January but could be sold for €80m.
Leipzig are open to making a quick profit on the Dutch midfielder, who is keeping his options open despite only recently committing to a two-year deal.
Ademola Lookman (Atalanta)
April 2025
Liverpool are showing interest in signing Ademola Lookman, who has flourished at Atalanta with 50 goals in 114 games since 2022.
Despite his Everton past, Liverpool could bid around €60 million for Lookman, whose contract ends in 2026. Manchester United, Newcastle, and Nottingham Forest are also monitoring him.
Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)
April 2025
Trent Alexander-Arnold must clarify his Liverpool future next week, with his contract expiring this summer and Real Madrid reportedly interested.
Alexander-Arnold has avoided contract talk in recent interviews. Neville says once Liverpool clinch the title, there’ll be no excuse to delay a public decision on whether he’s staying or leaving.
Diogo Jota, Ibrahima Konaté, Luis Díaz (Liverpool)
April 2025
Liverpool are resuming talks with Jota, Díaz, and Konaté to extend their contracts after locking in deals with key veterans Salah and Van Dijk.
Talks had broken down earlier. Konaté’s case is urgent, with PSG interested and his deal expiring next summer.
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
April 2025; new contract signed earlier this month
Despite renewing his Liverpool contract, Saudi Arabia’s sports minister says Salah “fits the identity” of the Saudi Pro League and remains an admired figure. He cited Salah’s iconic Arab Muslim status and superstar appeal as aligning with league goals.
While younger signings are now prioritized, the Saudi Pro League continues to be linked with Salah due to his influence and profile. No formal approach was made, but speculation persists given the PIF’s history of major signings and strategic league development.
Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)
April 2025
Liverpool remain interested in Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo as part of a broader plan to refresh their attack. Mbeumo is viewed as a long-term successor or rotation option despite Salah’s recent extension.
Brentford want £50m for the 25-year-old forward. Liverpool see him as a versatile attacker who could add depth and energy ahead of a demanding campaign.
Darwin Nunez (Liverpool)
Week of Liverpool’s win over West Ham (April 2025)
Darwin Nunez’s Liverpool future appears uncertain after he missed the West Ham match, with reports of a training ground bust-up and cryptic comments from boss Arne Slot.
Slot claimed Nunez “didn’t feel himself” and denied any verbal clash with staff, but the vague explanation and recent tension fuel speculation of a potential summer exit.
