Liverpool's transfer business is heating up with less than two weeks to go until the summer transfer window closes on September 1. The Premier League side begins its 2026/27 season against Newcastle United on Sunday.
Andoni Iraola's first lineup
Andoni Iraola's first starting lineup as Liverpool boss in the league is expected to look similar to Arne Slot's squad, given the Spaniard has only brought in Victor Munoz and Ronald Araujo this summer.
However, some turnover could be achieved in the final weeks of the window after a £70 million deal is reportedly poised to be active, while an agreement on another transfer is said to have been reached.
Gakpo to Spurs still on
Cody Gakpo has been linked with a move to Tottenham for much of the summer. However, a deal to sell the Dutchman is said to be a non-starter unless the Reds can acquire two forwards.
Some reports have placed Gakpo's valuation at £70 million, with Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi keen to improve his left-wing options with the 27-year-old's arrival. Despite recent reports doubting whether such a move could be completed late in the window, Fabrizio Romano has insisted that the potential deal is very realistic.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano claimed that Spurs remain in negotiations for the winger and that agreeing personal terms wouldn't be an issue, as Gakpo is open to the switch.
Jones agreement reached
Curtis Jones' 16-year association with Liverpool looks to be coming to an end, according to Romano. He reported that the Reds have agreed a £30 million (€35 million) fee with Inter Milan for the midfielder.
Personal terms have reportedly already been agreed between Jones and the Serie A champions, with the medical set to be planned. Links between the player and club first emerged on deadline day in January earlier this year.
Inter reignited their interest in the 25-year-old this summer, but had previously failed to agree on a fee with Liverpool. The Italian giants had two bids rejected for the England star, the most recent being a £21.7 million offer in June.
If Jones ends up leaving Merseyside, he would do so having made 228 appearances for the Reds, scoring 22 goals and assisting 25 goals. He has won six major honours at the club, including two Premier League titles.
