LIVERPOOL ARE EXPECTED TO MAKE A FORMAL BID FOR A PREMIER LEAGUE STAR IN THE COMING DAYS AFTER THE PLAYER AGREED TO JOIN THE REDS FOLLOWING TALKS WITH THE CLUB 07:47, 02 Jun 2025 Liverpool
may have just clinched the Premier League title, but they're now looking to defend it by reshaping their squad for Arne Slot. The Reds have already made one signing and are well on
their way to another, with the transfer window having only opened a day ago. Attacking right-back Jeremie Frimpong has joined Slot's side following his predecessor Trent
Alexander-Arnold's departure to Real Madrid. Bayer Leverkusen's attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz is expected to be the next Reds deal to be finalised in the coming days. However,
the business might not stop there, as goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher's future needs to be sorted out amidst the arrival of Georgian stopper Giorgi Mamardashbvili, with the Irishman
looking likely to move to Brentford. Defender Ibrahima Konate will soon enter the final year of his contract too, with a decision needed if Liverpool want to avoid a repeat of last
season's situation with Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold. Speculation over Luis Diaz's future is also rife as interest from Saudi Arabia has emerged, along with
Barcelona, for the Liverpool winger. Here's all the latest transfer news and rumours from Anfield. JOAO PEDRO FEE Brighton are reportedly ready to sell striker Joao Pedro if they
receive a bid worth £70million. The 23-year-old is believed to be attracting interest from Newcastle, Liverpool and Aston Villa. Article continues below Pedro's reputation has been on
the rise since he moved to Brighton from Watford in 2023, scoring 30 goals in 70 appearances across all competitions for the Seagulls. Reports suggest that Brighton are open to letting Pedro
go, but they will stand firm on their asking price. The forward is tied down until 2028, so Brighton aren't in a rush to offload him, although Pedro did stir up some drama last season.
The Brazilian was benched by gaffer Fabian Hurzeler after a row with team-mate Jan Paul van Hecke towards the end of the season. LIVERPOOL'S BID FOR KERKEZ ON THE HORIZON Reports
suggest that Liverpool are set to table an offer for Bournemouth ace Milos Kerkez in the coming days. The Cherries are holding out for over £40m for the full-back who has been at the
Vitality Stadium for two seasons. The Hungarian international is rumoured to have already given the thumbs up to the move to Anfield, reports the Mirror. The 21-year-old is eager to test his
mettle at a higher level and could soon be vying with Andy Robertson for a spot in Slot's first XI alongside international team-mate Dominik Szoboszlai. REDS' TRANSFER STRATEGY

many as four players this summer. Article continues below Sky Sports reveal that Liverpool are keen to add a new forward, with Hugo Ekitike on the club's radar. Two additional signings
are also on the cards, but are said to be less urgent for the club. Liverpool are looking to snap up a young centre-back and a defensive midfielder to beef up their squad after equalling
Manchester United's record for 20 top flight titles.
