Liverpool’s summer transfer activity is far from finished, with just under two weeks left before the window slams shut.
The Reds have already addressed key areas across the pitch, adding reinforcements in attack, midfield, and defense. However, Arne Slot is still weighing up further changes as opportunities continue to emerge in the market.
High on Liverpool’s wishlist are Newcastle striker Alexander Isak and Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi. Both deals remain complicated, with their respective clubs unwilling to budge, but the situation could shift late in the window – giving the Reds optimism of pulling off a massive double swoop.
Departures are also expected, with certain players either not part of Slot’s long-term plans or reluctant to commit to new contracts.
Tsimikas and Konaté facing uncertain futures
Left-back Kostas Tsimikas looks set to move on in search of regular playing time, while Ibrahima Konaté’s future hangs in the balance. The French defender has entered the final year of his contract and, having rejected Liverpool’s renewal terms, could be sold this summer.
Konaté endured a difficult outing in the opening game of the season against Bournemouth, where he was outmuscled by Antoine Semenyo for the visitors’ equaliser. Now, according to Mundo Deportivo, Liverpool are prepared to part ways with him if a £35 million bid arrives.
European giants circle Konaté
Real Madrid have registered interest but only intend to pursue him on a free transfer next summer, similar to their capture of Trent Alexander-Arnold. Barcelona have also been linked, though nothing concrete has materialised.
With contract negotiations stalled, Liverpool are increasingly open to cashing in, making the pursuit of Guehi even more pressing as a defensive replacement.
As the window enters its final stretch, the Reds are expected to remain one of the most active Premier League clubs – balancing potential big-money arrivals with significant departures.
