Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has indicated the Reds need more additions heading into the new season, with a winger a priority. The club have already signed Jeremy Jacquet and Victor Munoz, but more movement is expected.
“You have to always be open to new options to improve the squad,” Iraola said. “There are obvious situations that we know where we need to sign players. A winger, for example - we definitely need to sign a winger. But there are other situations that we will have to analyse what the market gives you, what's the cost, how we also see the players we have.”
Akliouche learning English
French international Maghnes Akliouche has been learning English as he weighs up his transfer options, according to PA. The Monaco star has been linked with a Liverpool switch, though Paris Saint-Germain are believed to be keen to keep him in Ligue 1.
According to the ECHO, Liverpool initiated contact with Monaco early in the transfer window. However, there is not believed to have been any new movement despite reports to the contrary elsewhere. Akliouche, 24, has one international goal for France and played once at the World Cup.
Two stars on the move
Young centre-back Amara Nallo is on his way to HJK Helsinki on loan. The Finnish season runs from April until October, meaning he is expected to return to Anfield before the January transfer window opens. The defender joined the Reds' academy from West Ham in 2023 and was sent off on his debut in a Champions League meeting with PSV Eindhoven.
Liverpool have also confirmed that goalkeeper Armin Pecsi has left the club on a temporary basis. The Hungarian joined the Reds a year ago but has now departed on loan to TSV Hartberg of the Austrian Bundesliga.
