Liverpool transfer news and rumours, including updates on Goncalo Inacio, Mohamed Salah, Baris Y?lmaz, Virgil van Dijk, Jurgen Klopp, Arne Slot, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dani Olmo and more
Liverpool are yet to dip into the transfer market to complete a first-team signing despite August only being a week away.
Arne Slot is likely to want reinforcements for his squad, though it remains to be seen just who will be recruited by sporting director Richard Hughes in the coming weeks.
Anthony Gordon, Dani Olmo and Karim Adeyemi are among the players to have been linked with a move to Anfield, though nothing has yet transpired regarding offers.
As far as outgoings are concerned, Trent Alexander-Arnold is one player the Reds will be looking to keep hold of amid reported interest from Real Madrid.

Pedro Neto and Rayan Ait-Nouri raid
Liverpool are reportedly plotting "raiding" Wolves for the signings of Pedro Neto and Rayan Ait-Nouri.
The Reds have been linked with both players throughout the current window, though have yet to make a move for either player.
Suggesting things could soon be changing in that regard, GMS have claimed Liverpool have been in contact with Neto's representatives and Wolves to discuss the possibility of a summer switch to Merseyside and there is a "growing expectation" the player's agent, Jorge Mendes, will push for his client to secure an eye-catching move.
Ait-Nouri is described as being "on Slot's radar" and is claimed to have a release clause of £38m.

Gordon future
Eddie Howe reassured Newcastle United supporters over Anthony Gordon's future at the club earlier this week.
The winger has been strongly linked with a move to Liverpool and was offered to the Reds at the end of June as the Magpies sought to raised funds prior to the PSR deadline of June 30.
A deal failed to materialise in the end, and Howe is confident that is the end of the saga over the player's future.
"We’ve had no conversations over the summer where it has been fractious or negative.
"I’m sure Liverpool are trying to keep him, but as the clock’s ticking and that Real Madrid are interested in him, then it’s only going against Liverpool at this moment in time."

Kubo to Liverpool?
Wataru Endo has revealed that Liverpool are looking for a replacement for Mohamed Salah, suggesting that the 32-year-old winger could leave Anfield this summer.
But naturally, with the wages that are on offer for players, then that makes it a real challenge for Celtic to compete at that level."
