Here are eight key updates on Liverpool transfer news and rumours as of Monday, June 8.
Darwin Nunez's Potential Return
Forward Darwin Nunez is reportedly seeking to terminate his contract with Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal after a disappointing year in the Middle East. While he prefers a return to Anfield and has attracted interest from clubs like Chelsea and Barcelona, Liverpool currently has little interest in re-signing him.
Inter Milan's Official Interest in Curtis Jones
Italian giants Inter Milan have formally entered the race to sign midfielder Curtis Jones this summer. Sporting director Piero Ausilio openly expressed admiration for the player, hoping he can replicate Scott McTominay's highly successful impact at Napoli.
Valuation Discrepancy for Curtis Jones
Reports from Italy indicate that Inter Milan has made an initial transfer offer for the 25-year-old midfielder. However, this opening bid currently falls well short of Liverpool's internal valuation for the player.
The Iraola Factor in Jones's Future
The arrival of newly appointed manager Andoni Iraola could heavily complicate Curtis Jones's decision regarding his future. Although the midfielder has been seeking more regular game time, Iraola may be able to offer him those minutes more consistently than former boss Arne Slot.
Cody Gakpo Swap Rumours
Rumours from Teamtalk suggest that forward Cody Gakpo could be used in a potential player-plus-cash swap deal this summer. The proposed agreement would see him move to RB Leipzig in exchange for Liverpool target Yan Diomande.
Liverpool's Stance on the Forward Line
Despite the Gakpo transfer links, a departure for the Dutch forward remains highly unlikely at this stage. Club insiders note that the Reds are actively looking to add depth to their attacking ranks rather than reducing them.
Real Madrid Eyeing Alexis Mac Allister
Real Madrid has registered strong admiration for Argentinian midfielder Alexis Mac Allister ahead of the summer window. With only two years remaining on his current contract and no extension talks underway, a potential exit is viewed as a distinct possibility.
Divock Origi Announces Retirement
Former Liverpool cult hero Divock Origi has officially announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 31. The striker shared an emotional social media post reflecting on his gratitude for fulfilling his childhood dreams and winning the game's biggest trophies.
