Today’s Liverpool transfer rumors include a bid for Ederson, positive news regarding De Bruyne, and the latest updates on Osimhen.
We’re just days away from the official commencement of the summer 2024 transfer window, but there’s already plenty of early Liverpool transfer rumors circulating today, Friday, June 7, 2024. The Reds are poised for a significant summer, marked by the return of Michael Edwards to oversee a revamped backroom structure and Arne Slot taking the helm as head coach, succeeding Jurgen Klopp. Amidst looming contract negotiations involving key players like Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, the next three months are set to be pivotal for Liverpool on Merseyside.
Moving on to the transfer speculation, Liverpool stands to potentially earn £9 million this summer without making any moves, thanks to a clause in Dominic Solanke’s contract with Bournemouth. Liverpool would receive 20% of the difference between £19 million and the final transfer fee if any club activates the £65 million release clause in Solanke’s contract. Additionally, Liverpool has reportedly made a €45 million offer for Atalanta midfielder Ederson, as disclosed by Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola. Luis Diaz has emerged as Barcelona’s top priority target, with the Catalan club eager to secure the Liverpool winger’s services this summer. However, Liverpool fans need not worry about Wataru Endo’s departure, as the club has made a decision to retain him for the upcoming season.
Furthermore, discussions regarding the future of Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk are set to take place next week among influential figures in the Saudi Pro League, with the Public Investment Fund (PIF) convening to review their latest list of high-profile targets. The PIF, Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, gained 75% ownership of four SPL clubs last year, including Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Ahli, which have attracted notable stars such as Neymar, Sadio Mane, Karim Benzema, and Riyad Mahrez to the league over the past year.
