Valencia in advanced talks with Liverpool to sign Harvey Elliott on loan
Spanish club Valencia has formally contacted Liverpool to sign midfielder Harvey Elliott, with personal terms reportedly agreed. The 23-year-old Englishman, who spent last season on loan at Aston Villa, is not in new Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola’s plans.

Monaco demands a fee between €50-60 million for Camara, who has a contract until 2029. Chelsea has held direct meetings with Monaco officials, and Camara is open to the move. Liverpool and Crystal Palace also show interest, but Chelsea is in a favorable position to finalize the transfer before the summer window closes.

Tottenham and Manchester City Compete for Liverpool's Cody Gakpo Transfer
Multiple reports indicate Tottenham Hotspur has reached a preliminary agreement on personal terms with Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, while Manchester City has also entered negotiations with his agent. Liverpool insists Gakpo can only leave if they sign two new wingers before the transfer deadline. Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi is pushing hard for the deal, but no formal offer has been made. The outcome hinges on Liverpool's incoming transfers and Gakpo's personal preference.
Inter Milan Reaches Verbal Agreement to Sign Liverpool's Curtis Jones for €35M
Inter Milan has secured a verbal agreement with Liverpool to transfer midfielder Curtis Jones for a total fee of €35 million, including bonuses. Personal terms have been finalized, and a medical is pending. The 23-year-old English player, frustrated by limited playing time under Liverpool manager Arne Slot, is eager to join Serie A. Liverpool plans to promote 17-year-old academy talent Trey Nyoni as a replacement rather than signing a new midfielder.
Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernández is in advanced talks to join Manchester City from Chelsea, with negotiations expected to progress within 24-48 hours. City plans an initial bid below Chelsea’s £120 million asking price, while Chelsea insists on the full valuation and seeks a replacement before selling. Fernández has given City the green light and was left out of Chelsea’s match squad, signaling the transfer’s final stages. The deal is one of the most anticipated moves of the summer window.
Tottenham Hotspur and Everton have reached agreements in principle for a double transfer: Tottenham will sign Iliman Ndiaye from Everton for £60 million, while Richarlison is set to return to Everton for £35 million. The deals are separate and not directly linked, pending personal terms and medicals. However, reports indicate Richarlison has not yet agreed personal terms with Everton, stalling Ndiaye's move. Manchester City has also reopened talks for Ndiaye after their Cody Gakpo deal collapsed.
Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, 27, has decided to join Manchester City, rejecting Tottenham Hotspur. Personal terms are agreed, and clubs are negotiating a fee. Liverpool will only sell after securing a replacement, reportedly Bradley Barcola from PSG. Gakpo, who scored 18 goals in Liverpool’s 2024-25 title win, has struggled in 2025-26. City also agreed a €40m deal for Palmeiras winger Allan Elias.
Liverpool submitted a £50 million bid for Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr, which was rejected. The move follows failed negotiations for Brighton's Yankuba Minteh. Sarr's agent called for fair valuation of African players, while Sarr reportedly seeks a transfer. Crystal Palace considers Sarr crucial, with three years left on his contract, and only an exceptionally high offer would change their stance. Liverpool continues exploring other targets before the transfer deadline.
Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola has designated Liverpool as his preferred destination and agreed personal terms, but PSG rejected an initial bid. Barcola was excluded from PSG’s squad to avoid injury risk. PSG lowered their asking price from €170 million to around €140 million, while Liverpool hopes to secure a deal for about £100 million. Talks continue, with Barcola refusing a contract extension and PSG open to selling if an acceptable offer arrives.
The 2026/27 UEFA Champions League league phase draw took place on August 27-28, 2026, in Monaco, confirming opponents for all 36 teams under the Swiss-style format. Each team will play eight matches (four home, four away) against two opponents from each of four seeding pots, with country protection and a new restriction preventing identical fixtures for three consecutive seasons. Defending champion PSG leads Pot 1 alongside Bayern, Real Madrid, Liverpool, and others. The competition runs from September 2026 to the final on June 5, 2027, at Madrid’s Metropolitano Stadium.
Liverpool have had two bids (£50m and £60m) for Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh rejected, with Brighton demanding around £70m. The 22-year-old Gambian, sidelined 2-3 months after leg surgery, is open to joining Liverpool as a replacement for departing Mohamed Salah. Liverpool is preparing a third offer, but Brighton’s tough stance and interest from Manchester City complicate the deal. Alternative targets include PSG’s Bradley Barcola.
After Liverpool's 1-0 pre-season win over Wrexham at Yankee Stadium, midfielders Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai had a heated two-minute argument on the pitch. The dispute arose when Szoboszlai gave the captain's armband to Kostas Tsimikas instead of Jones upon being substituted. Teammates and staff intervened. The incident was resolved in training the next day, but it highlights Jones' uncertain future as Inter Milan has increased its bid to €35 million for the out-of-contract player.
Liverpool has reached a verbal agreement with Barcelona to loan Uruguayan center-back Ronald Araujo for one season, with a non-mandatory buy option. The deal, confirmed by journalist Fabrizio Romano and approved by Barcelona’s sporting director Deco, was driven by Araujo’s desire for more playing time after coach Hansi Flick warned of limited opportunities. Liverpool will cover his salary during the loan. The transfer is expected to be finalized within 24 hours.
Turkish Süper Lig club Trabzonspor has made a formal offer to Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, proposing a two-year contract worth €17 million annually. The club is also pursuing free agent Dušan Vlahović. Reports indicate Salah may arrive in Istanbul for medical checks and contract signing, following cryptic social media hints. The potential move would end Salah’s nine-year Liverpool career, where he scored 257 goals and won multiple titles. No final agreement has been confirmed.
Veteran midfielder Jordan Henderson, 36, has mutually terminated his contract with Brentford one year early and is set to join Chelsea on a free transfer. The former Liverpool captain, who spent one season at Brentford after stints at Ajax and Al-Ettifaq, will sign a two-year deal with Chelsea until June 2028. Chelsea, under new coach Xabi Alonso, is adding experienced players like Henderson and Danny Welbeck to balance their young squad.
Real Madrid is closing in on signing RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande after agreeing personal terms and preparing a new offer exceeding €100 million. Barcelona passed on a €100 million deal in May, while PSG, Liverpool, and Manchester City have been outmaneuvered. Diomande, who initially preferred PSG, now favors Real Madrid. The transfer fee may depend on whether he joins immediately or is loaned back to Leipzig for the 2026/27 season.
Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola, 23, has rejected a lucrative contract extension, unhappy with his substitute role in key matches. His contract runs until 2028, but PSG now considers him transferable, demanding €170 million. Liverpool leads interest, with Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea also monitoring. Barcola reportedly prefers Liverpool, and negotiations have begun. The decision impacts PSG’s transfer plans as they pursue other targets.
Real Madrid has entered negotiations to sign 19-year-old RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, submitting a €100 million bid (€90M fixed + €10M add-ons) that Leipzig rejected, demanding over €100M and possibly up to €130M. Paris Saint-Germain also remains interested but has not made a convincing offer. Diomande, who scored 13 goals and provided 9 assists last season, has a contract until 2030. Real Madrid, under José Mourinho, has already signed several players this summer. A bidding war between the European giants is possible.
Hull City, newly promoted to the Premier League, agreed a club-record $23 million deal (including add-ons) with Colorado Rapids for 18-year-old Australian defender Lucas Herrington. The transfer, which also includes a 15% sell-on clause for Colorado, marks a rapid rise for Herrington, who debuted for Australia at the 2026 World Cup and attracted interest from Barcelona and Liverpool. Personal terms are expected to be finalized soon.
Paris Saint-Germain successfully negotiated the transfer of French international midfielder Maghnes Akliouche from AS Monaco for €50 million, after Monaco rejected earlier offers including a €45 million bid. The 24-year-old, under contract until 2028, had expressed preference for PSG, which also fended off interest from Liverpool. The deal, finalized in late July 2026, surpasses the previous Ligue 1 transfer record and strengthens PSG's squad for the upcoming season.
Eddie Howe has departed as Newcastle United head coach after five years, citing exhaustion and frustration over the summer sale of key players like Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali, and Alexander Isak. Despite leading the club to Champions League qualification twice and winning the 2025 Carabao Cup—their first trophy in 70 years—a poor 2025-26 season (12th place) prompted his exit. Newcastle has lined up German manager Matthias Jaissle, currently at Saudi club Al Ahli, as his replacement.
Liverpool defender Joe Gomez suffered an apparent injury just seven minutes into a pre-season friendly against Sunderland in Nashville on July 25, 2026. The setback, described as likely precautionary, compounds a severe defensive crisis for new manager Andoni Iraola. Key defenders Ibrahima Konate has left for Real Madrid, Giovanni Leoni is recovering from an ACL rupture, new signing Jeremy Jacquet is sidelined with a shoulder injury, and Virgil van Dijk is on extended leave. Iraola admitted the squad is "very thin" and may need urgent defensive reinforcements.
Eddie Howe has departed as Newcastle United head coach after five years, including a historic 2025 Carabao Cup win—the club’s first trophy in 70 years. Following a downturn last season (12th in Premier League, Champions League exit), Howe chose to take a break. Al Ahli manager Matthias Jaissle, who won consecutive Asian Champions League titles, is in advanced talks to replace him. Both clubs are majority-owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola spoke after a 1-0 pre-season friendly victory over Wrexham at Yankee Stadium. He expressed satisfaction with the team's improved defensive solidity and cohesion compared to the previous match, despite fewer goals. Iraola highlighted the strong performances of young players like Chambers, Kieran Morrison, Kumas, and Will Wright, praising their pressing and link-up play. He acknowledged that the team has not yet reached the level of his ideal tactical system, citing occasional late positioning, but noted progress since the Sunderland match. Iraola emphasized a step-by-step approach and the gradual integration of senior players returning from Chicago, including Ryan Gravenberch, Florian Wirtz, Alex Isak, and Jeremy Jacquet, who are expected to feature against Leeds United. He also praised young midfielder Trey Nyoni for his composure, ball control, and confidence under pressure, encouraging him to attempt ambitious passes. Iraola reflected positively on returning to Yankee Stadium, noting its narrow pitch requires precision.
Liverpool continued their winning start under new manager Andoni Iraola by defeating Wrexham 1-0 at Yankee Stadium in New York, their second pre-season victory ahead of the 2026/27 campaign. The only goal came 15 minutes from time from teenage sensation Rio Ngumoha, who drove at the Wrexham defense before his deflected effort found the net. Stand-in captain Dominik Szoboszlai played out of position at center-back due to an injury to Joe Gomez. Iraola made four changes at halftime, including introducing Ngumoha. Wrexham's Kieffer Moore missed a late chance from close range. Liverpool had previously beaten Sunderland in Nashville. The squad will travel to Chicago to face Leeds next, with new signings Florian Wirtz, Ryan Gravenberch, and Alexander Isak expected to feature. Iraola said his side still has work to do to fully implement his tactical identity.
Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola has confirmed that Ryan Gravenberch, Alexander Isak, Jeremy Jacquet, and Florian Wirtz will make their preseason debuts in the upcoming match against Leeds United in Chicago. The four players were not included in Liverpool's squad for the previous match against Wrexham in New York. Gravenberch, Isak, and Wirtz only began training last Sunday after participating in the World Cup, while Jacquet also missed the win over Sunderland in Nashville as a precaution. Iraola stated that the decision to hold them back was to give more minutes to young players in the Wrexham game, but all four are scheduled to feature as Liverpool concludes their US tour against Leeds United this Sunday.

Wrexham have signed Crystal Palace full-back Danny Imray on a four-year deal, their first signing of the 2026 summer transfer window. The 23-year-old versatile defender, who can also play right wing-back, had loan spells with Blackpool and West Bromwich Albion last season. Imray never made a senior appearance for Palace but gained experience at Chelmsford City, Bromley, Blackpool, and West Brom. Manager Phil Parkinson praised Imray's journey from non-league to the Premier League and confirmed he joined the squad in the US ahead of a pre-season friendly against Liverpool. Imray cited Wrexham's upward trajectory, community focus, and Premier League ambitions as reasons for joining. Parkinson indicated further signings are possible in goal, centre-back, central midfield, and forward positions.

Liverpool are preparing an opening offer for Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola after talks with his representatives. The 23-year-old France international is open to a Premier League move and has turned down a contract extension at PSG, where he has fallen down the pecking order. PSG value Barcola at approximately £145 million, which would be a British record transfer fee. Liverpool, managed by Andoni Iraola, see Barcola as a leading target to strengthen their attack after already signing Victor Muñoz from Osasuna and Jérémy Jacquet from Rennes for £55 million this summer. The club is also looking to bolster defensive options. Liverpool had previously targeted Yan Diomande, but he is set to join Real Madrid after PSG pulled out of a deal for the Leipzig winger.
Newcastle United, a WSL 2 side, have signed Scotland international forward Martha Thomas from Tottenham Hotspur for an undisclosed fee. The 30-year-old scored 13 goals in 66 appearances over three years at Spurs and spent the second half of last season on loan at Liverpool. Thomas has also played for Manchester United and West Ham in the Women's Super League. She expressed excitement about joining a big club and emphasized the importance of team culture. Newcastle finished sixth in WSL 2 last season after failing to win any of their final six games. This summer, leading scorer Emily Murphy left for Brighton, but Newcastle have brought in nine new players. Manager Tanya Oxtoby praised Thomas as a proven striker with outstanding work-rate and the ability to score various types of goals.
Brentford FC has officially announced the mutual termination of Jordan Henderson's contract. The 36-year-old midfielder joined the Bees on a free transfer from Ajax in July 2025 and made 34 appearances in all competitions during the 2025/26 season. Henderson expressed gratitude to the club, staff, teammates, and fans in a farewell statement. He made his Brentford debut against Nottingham Forest, scored his only goal for the club in a 1-1 draw with Leeds United in December, and helped the team secure a ninth-place Premier League finish. Henderson was also selected for England's 2026 World Cup squad under Thomas Tuchel, becoming the first English male player to participate in seven major tournaments and helping the Three Lions achieve a third-place finish. Reports indicate Henderson will join Chelsea on a free transfer following the contract termination.
Liverpool's pre-season tour of the United States has been disrupted by travel chaos after their flight from Chicago to New York was cancelled due to thunderstorms and heavy rain. The Reds were scheduled to arrive in New York on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday's friendly against Wrexham at Yankee Stadium, but will now land just hours before kick-off. The cancellation also affected the planned reveal of Liverpool's new away kit, with club legends Ian Rush and Robbie Fowler stepping in to model the Adidas kit at a Brooklyn event. Manager Andoni Iraola, who ended his playing career at New York City FC, will have a larger squad to choose from as Ryan Gravenberch, Florian Wirtz, and Alexander Isak have returned to training, though they may not feature in the match. Meanwhile, Alisson Becker, Cody Gakpo, and Virgil van Dijk will begin individual training programs at Liverpool's AXA Training Centre.
