Liverpool have a busy week in Hong Kong but transfer rumours back in England continue to swirl.

The Reds keep on impressing in the transfer market and despite the Hugo Ekitike deal set to be completed very soon, they do not appear to be finished yet.

Incomings will largely depend on outgoings and many of Liverpool’s stars are attracting interest from all over Europe, with Richard Hughes’ job not over despite the pre-season tour of Asia underway.

Tuesday has seen some big updates and Reds fans may want to keep an eye on some of these stories over the next few days, with this week set to be a big one on the red half of Merseyside.

Once the Ekitike deal is over the line, attentions will very likely turn to bringing in a new centre-back, with Marc Guehi high on Liverpool’s wishlist.

Whether that be this summer or next is yet to be decided, although Guehi is ‘not afraid’ to run his contract down according to David Ornstein, suggesting the Reds could wait to secure his services for nothing.

Wataru Endo could be affected if Guehi is signed, however, as The Athletic have reported that Arne Slot is also willing to use the Japanese international at the back if required next season.

This transfer is heavily dependent on Ibrahima Konate’s situation, suggesting that next summer might be the best opportunity for all parties, bar Palace of course.

After being dropped from the squad for the pre-season tour, Federico Chiesa’s future has only been cast further in doubt, with the 27-year-old highly likely to depart in the coming months.

Atalanta are the latest club to throw their hat into the ring for the winger, with the Italian club ready to sign him as a replacement for the outgoing Ademola Lookman.

They are willing to pay around €12m (£10.4m) for his services, meaning the Reds will, somehow, still make a loss if he were to be sold at this price.

Liverpool have eyed up Lyon’s Malick Fofana as his replacement and are said to be ‘on standby’ for when Chiesa leaves.

For once, the Reds have been rather quiet, although rumours such as Darwin Nunez continue to persist, with the Uruguayan now on Juventus’ list of options.

Liverpool also want to get revenge on Real Madrid by signing Rodrygo this summer, Newcastle are reportedly ‘scared’ that Alexander Isak will opt for a move to Anfield before the new season starts.

Elsewhere, Ben Doak will get a chance to impress Slot during pre-season, and that just about wraps up everything covered by Rousing The Kop on Tuesday.
