“Recent Liverpool Transfer News: Competition for Geertruida, Neves Fee Disclosed, Di Gregorio Makes Choice”
Here’s the latest update on Liverpool’s transfer activities for Thursday, June 6, as the countdown to the summer transfer window heats up amidst Jurgen Klopp’s departure and Arne Slot’s appointment as the new head coach.
Liverpool has officially announced the release of ten players whose contracts expired at the end of the 2023-24 season, with prominent names like Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara among the departures. Despite previous speculation, respected journalist David Lynch states that Goncalo Inacio is not on Liverpool’s radar, suggesting his name may have been circulated to spark interest.
While Liverpool’s interest in a center-back remains uncertain, the emergence of Jarell Quansah could reduce their urgency in this area. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Adrian surprisingly remains on the retained list despite expectations of his departure.
Liverpool faces significant competition in their pursuit of Feyenoord’s Lutsharel Geertruida, with clubs like Tottenham, Newcastle, and West Ham vying for the Dutch defender’s signature, alongside interest from Germany and France.
Manchester United has reportedly made a £50 million bid for Lille center-back Leny Yoro, a target previously linked with Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain. Benfica demands the full £120 million release clause for their highly promising midfielder, Joao Neves, deterring potential suitors.
In a setback for Liverpool, Monza goalkeeper Michele di Gregorio has reportedly opted to join Juventus for the upcoming season, despite Liverpool’s efforts to secure his signature with higher financial offers for both the club and the player.
