Rumour Mill

The latest LFC transfer talk, plus Si's takes on the ones worth watching.

Fikayo Tomori
Homegrown CB in last 12 months
31 Jul
Fikayo Tomori

Liverpool make contact with AC Milan over Fikayo Tomori According to TuttoJuve, Liverpool have made initial contact with AC Milan defender Tomori, who is into the last 12 months of his contract. The report states that one of the Reds’ main ‘priorities’ is strengthening their defence, with Iraola on the lookout for an experienced and reliable centre-back. Discussions are said to be at an early stage but the England international’s name is very much on their shortlist.

LFIJ Si's Hot Take He is not good enough and the only benefit would be is he is homegrown and would be willing to be 4th choice. A stop gap if there ever was one.
Oskar Pietuszewski
The New Luis Diaz from Porto?

Oskar Pietuszewski

Liverpool are reportedly among a host of top European clubs monitoring teenage FC Porto winger Oskar Pietuszewski. His current club are set to reject any offers which fall below his release clause of €60m (£51.2m).

LFIJ Si's Hot Take Big interest from European teams but he is 18 years old and spending £51.2 million on someone who will need alot of time to adapt and improve is nonsense when we need a Salah replacement
Ibrahim Mbaye

Ibrahim Mbaye

According to the BBC, Ibrahim Mbaye has been offered to both Liverpool and Manchester City as the highly rated youngster's future remains uncertain. The 17-year-old is regarded as one of France's brightest talents, but there is currently no indication that Liverpool have made a formal move. At this stage, it's understood that the player has simply been made available to interested clubs, with LFC among those informed of the opportunity. For now, this appears to be one to watch rather than an advanced negotiation.

LFIJ Si's Hot Take I love Mbaye and believe he will become an epic player. But the 50 million euro cost is excessive and he is not as ready as Barcola to hit the ground running despite his good showings. He is a natural right winger and is one to watch but he will struggle to a first team starter outright until he develops his off the ball tactical play.

Djed Spence
A Proper Fullback Option for both sides
28 Jul
Djed Spence

Djed Spence is apparently being discussed behind the scenes as an option for Liverpool with Sascha Tavolieri and Lewis Steele, a Daily Mail journalist hinting at interest from Liverpool for Tottenhams versatile fullback who starred for England at the World Cup

Source: Lewis Steele, Sascha Tavolieri
LFIJ Si's Hot Take
I don't think there is a credible story here because Spence is probably first choice on either fullback position for Spurs and they invested heavily for De Zerbi, who will want Djed in their squad. After the world cup showing, his valuation probably makes him unattractive despite being homegrown and a good player. Conte famously criticized the purchase of Spence for Spurs and refused to play him.

Barcola Gives Priority to Liverpool

Barcola Gives Priority to Liverpool

According to Fabrizio Romano who has been consistent in his links for Barcola to Liverpool,: 🚨🔴 Liverpool have been leading the race for Bradley Barcola since April — and they are working on the deal. Understand Barcola’s open to the move and gives priority to #LFC project if they can get a deal done with PSG.Liverpool, waiting for PSG indications on price/details. Barcola has rejected a new PSG Deal. Ben Jacobs thinks they are asking for 170 million euros"

Source: Fabrizio Romano Twitter
LFIJ Si's Hot Take
I do think the interest is genuine but Ben Jacobs is quoting 170 million euros for the 2 time champions league winner and WC France Star. I think if PSG lower their demands to 130 million euros, it gets done

Vinicius to LFC - Free 2027

New LFC Ownership led by Jeff Bezos Target Superstar Vinicius Jr on a free when his contract runs out in 2027. Arsenal also prioritising Vinicius to see if a deal can be done this season with an all time high contract. Diomande to Madrid might get the wheels in motion

Source: Ramon Alvarez / Radio Marca
LFIJ Si's Hot Take
LOL! Marca is a Madrid publication piece. Vinicius is the last player liverpool would sign. He would want 500k+ a week and want the team built around him and Liverpool do best with no ego's. Do you remember when Vinicius and Madrid no showed the Balon D'or? This is a non starter, will never happen and its clickbait. IGNORE

Illia Zabarnyi Loan?
22 Jul
Illia Zabarnyi Loan?

Illia Zabarnyi offered to Liverpool for 40 million since falling out with PSG's Russian Goalkeeper Safonov. PSG might be open to letting the Ukrainian star leave and with Iraola having managed Zabarnyi to his best career form that earned him the move to PSG, could Iraola be in for him again?

Source: Twitter
LFIJ Si's Hot Take
This is a rehashed rumour from early June and the links to Alex Crook are false. Good player, but PSG paid a big fee for him and Liverpool will be linked to every ex Bournemouth man. A loan would be reasonable.

Maghnes Akliouche

Maghnes Akliouche

Playmaking Right Winger has been approached by Liverpool! PSG bids of 40 million euros rejected by Monaco. The 24-year-old, who is capable of playing on the right wing or as an attacking midfielder, made 31 appearances in Ligue 1 last season, scoring six goals and adding six assists.

Source: Sky Sports
LFIJ Si's Hot Take
I love Akliouche and think he will be a bigger player than Cherki. He is hard working, magical but not the fastest. Interesting to see us and PSG share targets. They want him to replace Lee Kang In. Plays similar to Thomas Lemar
Ferran Torres

Liverpool are making a 40 million pound move for Ferran Torres who only has a year left with Barcelona talking with the player about his future

LFIJ Si's Hot Take
A really good option to cover all forward positions and Prem Proven but I don't see why Barca would want to sell as he solves all their requirements for backup too

Samuel Martinez Signs!

The 17-year-old attacking midfielder will join the Reds' Academy ranks ahead of the 2027-28 season, after a move to bring him to the club was completed. Martinez starred for Colombia as they were winners of the U17 South American Championship in April.

Source: Official LFC Website
LFIJ Si's Hot Take
Great talent who will join next season as a backup 10. High ceiling but somewhat tall and agile and will need alot of time to develop. Be patient with him. Will probably need a loan or 2.

Daniel Svensson

Since Svensson has a contract at Dortmund until 2029, Niko Kovac's side are in a favorable position in transfer negotiations. According to Bild, the Bundesliga outfit could ask for a transfer fee closer to €30 million.

LFIJ Si's Hot Take
They signed Kau Prates for backup at LB but I don't think this would be a cheap signing and 30 million euros for a backup left back who is not a proper rotation option for Kerkez is questionable. He would be rated as high as 50 million euros
