Liverpool FC NewsTransfer NewsTransfersLiverpool is expected to refresh its midfield this summer, and it has been suggested that an initial inquiry has been made over Bruno Guimaraes' openness to moving to AnfieldBruno Guimaraes has been linked with Liverpool(Image: 2026 Marc Atkins)It's claimed that Liverpool has made initial contact with Bruno Guimaraes's camp over the possibility of the Brazilian moving to Anfield.The Magpies have already lost Anthony Gordon to Barcelona this summer, and there is uncertainty surrounding the futures of Bruno, Sandro Tonali and Lewis Hall. Newcastle has built an exciting squad over the last few years, but it looks to be in danger of being dismantled after a disappointing season, which saw the North East club finish in 12th place in the Premier League.Journalist Ben Jacobs reports that Liverpool has made an inquiry with Bruno's agent, although it is suggested that Arsenal's interest in the Brazil international is currently at a more advanced stage.Jacobs told The Redmen TV that Bruno might be too old a target for Liverpool at 28, and that a younger profile could be pursued instead.Nonetheless, Liverpool's inquiry over Bruno's availability shows that the club is planning to sign an energetic midfielder this summer after a season in which the team looked extremely leggy in midfield.Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones have both been linked with moves away from Liverpool in the off-season.Yan Diomande is Liverpool's primary target to replace Mohamed Salah(Image: ©Icon Sportswire All Rights Reserved)Elsewhere in the squad, Liverpool has identified Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomande as its preferred target to replace Mohamed Salah following the Egyptian's departure from Anfield at the end of the season.Diomande has been in impressive form at the World Cup and registered his first goal contribution of the tournament in the Ivory Coast's 2-0 win over Curacao, assisting Nicolas Pepe's opening goal.The 19-year-old started all three of his country's group games as the three-time Afcon winner secured a second-place finish in Group E to move into the last 32.RB Leipzig's internal stance on the prospect of selling Diomande is reported to be different from the public message that the club is sending out.The Bundesliga outfit publicly maintains that Diomande is not for sale, but the Daily Mail says that there is an acceptance within the club that he will be sold ahead of the 2026-27 season.Liverpool is leading the race to sign the 19-year-old, with Paris Saint-Germain also competing to land the highly rated youngster.Diomande registered 13 goals and 10 assists in all competitions for Leipzig this season after joining the Bundesliga club from Leganes in 2025.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCTransfersNewcastle United FCArsenal FC
