The latest Liverpool transfer news, updates and rumours as Milos Kerkez arrives, Ibrahima Konate rejects a new deal, Darwin Nunez wants to leave Anfield, and more.
Liverpool to announce Kerkez deal on Tuesday
Milos Kerkez will become a Red today after arriving at Liverpool‘s training complex this morning. He will complete the formalities of his £40 million transfer from Bournemouth, including a medical.
The Hungary international’s arrival raises questions about the future of first-choice left-back Andy Robertson, who has been linked with a move to Atletico Madrid.
Konate rejects Liverpool contract offer
In less good news for Arne Slot and company, Ibrahima Konate has turned down the club’s latest offer of a new deal. The Guardian report that the defender is “stalling” on an extension and may run down the final year of his contract.
Konate is said to be “disappointed by the structure of Liverpool’s offer”, which was “heavily based on meeting certain performance targets”. His representatives want a higher basic salary.
Liverpool plan on reviving talks later in the summer, but won’t be “forced into overpaying”.

Nunez ‘keen’ on Anfield exit
It’s no secret at this stage that Liverpool are looking to offload Darwin Nunez just three years after committing to pay a then-club record transfer fee for the striker. Reports indicate they have paid Benfica at least £76.8m when add-ons are taken into account.
The Reds are looking to recoup most of that money this summer after rejecting a £60m bid from Al-Nassr in January.
After making just eight Premier League starts last season Nunez is “keen to move”, according to The Athletic. Napoli have been heavily linked with the Uruguayan and are expected to make an offer “in due course”.

Liverpool lock down midfielder to new deal
Ceri Holland has sign a contract extension with Liverpool Women, the club announced on Tuesday. The midfielder joined the Merseyside outfit in 2021 and was part of the promotion-winning side in 2022. She’s gone on to make 107 appearances.
“It’s been an amazing four years. I’ve really, really enjoyed my time here,” she said after penning her new deal.

Henderson linked with Premier League return
Two years on from his ill-fated move to Al-Ettifaq, Jordan Henderson may be on his way back to England.
The Daily Mail claim that Nottingham Forest and Marseille are interested in the Ajax midfielder, who captained the Reds to the Premier League title in 2019/20.
The report claims the midfielder has a clause in his contract that would allow the 35-year-old to leave his current club for free. If the clause is triggered before mid-July he can become a free agent.
