Liverpool informed target will be sold in the summer

Although the January transfer window hasn't opened yet, Liverpool are already starting to plan their summer transfer business.

The Reds have undergone an extensive rebuild since winning the Premier League in 2025, spending over £650 million on fresh talent.

Having become the first team to field three £100+ million players at the same time earlier this season, many would expect Liverpool to be title contenders, but thereis still plenty of work to be done.

Julian Ward and the recruitment team at Anfield are already busy working on moves for the next transfer window and beyond, and they have just been told one top target will be sold in the summer.

Liverpool are serious about signing Premier League defender

Luka Vuskovic has been a standout performer in a massively impressive Brighton side this season.

After shining in Germany on loan with Hamburg last season, Vuskovic joined the Seagulls in a permanent move from Tottenham, and the 19-year-old has been a sensation.

There has been plenty of speculation over who could replace Virgil van Dijk, who is into the final year of his current deal, and Vuskovic has played his way into that conversation.

According to a report from Caught Offside, Brighton are already accepting of the fact that the Croatian will probably be sold in the summer, and Liverpool are seriously interested in bringing him to Merseyside.

The Reds have been admirers of the teenager since before his move to Brighton, but could now act on their long-term interest.

The recruitment team at Liverpool have reportedly identified Vuskovic as a perfect fit for Andoni Iraola's system, and a deal to bring the Brighton man to Anfield could soon be negotiated.

The fact that Liverpool view Vuskovic as a long-term solution suggests that they could bring him in even if Van Dijk extends his stay in L4, and it feels as though the groundwork will be done on a deal regardless.

Liverpool are clearly willing to pay big money for Vuskovic, and the Croatian will be there for the taking next summer.
