Fabrizio Romano confirms Liverpool are close to another MAJOR deal

It’s been all change in the Liverpool squad this summer - despite the club winning the Premier League title last season.

Sporting director Richard Hughes and head coach Arne Slot have conducted a near £300m transfer spree - adding quality all over the pitch.

Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike head the list of incomings - with money also spent on Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Giorgi Mamardashvili and Giovanni Leoni among others.

And in order to finance those deals - as well as make space in the squad - the Reds have conducted somewhat of a clearout.

Liverpool recouping cash through sales

Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez have brought in the biggest fees - while Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher, Tyler Morton and Trent Alexander-Arnold are among the other players who have left.

But Liverpool aren’t done yet. We could see Marc Guehi arrive before the window closes - as uncertainty continues in the centre-back position.

And of course Alexander Isak is firmly in the Merseyside club’s sights. All that is missing is an agreement with Newcastle.

Before Hughes and Slot finalise their squad there will be other departures too.

Liverpool's excess of left-backs

Harvey Elliott is among the players at risk - with Ben Doak also close to wrapping up a deal to join Bournemouth. And Liverpool have also left themselves overstocked at left-back following the arrival of Kerkez.

The Hungarian is now Slot’s first choice in the position - and Andy Robertson is broadly expected to be his back-up for the season ahead.

There is going to be an impact for Kostas Tsimikas - and the Greek has been tipped by Fabrizio Romano to LEAVE imminently.

Romano: Tsimikas to leave soon

“Kostas Tsimikas exit, expected to accelerate as Liverpool could also open to potential initial loan proposals,” the Italian transfer supremo wrote on X.

“The left back is prepared to leave as Kerkez and Andy Robertson will be the LBs for Arne Slot.”

Premier League side Nottingham Forest have been previously linked with Tsimikas and he also retains interest from former club Olympiacos in Greece.

The 29-year-old is out of contract in 2027 and joined for an initial fee of around £12m back in 2020. Since then he has established himself as a firm favourite among the fans - winning all the major honours in the domestic game.

However with Liverpool requiring sales then it could soon mean his time at the club is at an end.
