Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano has recently provided key updates on Liverpool FC’s summer transfer activity, highlighting significant squad changes.
Firstly, Romano confirmed that Premier League star Federico Chiesa has decided to remain at Liverpool. After a period of speculation during June and July about his potential departure, Chiesa resolved to stay and fight for his place, especially following the exit of Luis Díaz. Chiesa is now motivated to embrace a larger role in coach Arne Slot’s attacking setup, aiming to improve on a debut season marked by flashes of brilliance tempered by injuries and adaptation challenges.
Regarding incoming players, Liverpool have been very active, completing a near £300 million spending spree to strengthen the squad. High-profile signings include Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike, alongside Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Giovanni Leoni, and potentially Marc Guehi. The club is also very keen on securing Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, with Romano stating Liverpool are "very ready" to submit a new proposal for the striker.
To balance this investment, Liverpool have generated significant funds through departures, including Luis Díaz (£65.5m to Bayern Munich), Darwin Núñez (£46m to Al-Hilal), Jarell Quansah (£35m to Bayer Leverkusen), Tyler Morton (£15m to Lyon), and Caoimhín Kelleher (£12.5m to Brentford). Additionally, Kostas Tsimikas is expected to leave, with Romano reporting that his departure could accelerate and Liverpool may entertain loan offers for the left-back who finds competition from Milos Kerkez and Andy Robertson.
Overall, Liverpool's summer has been marked by a major squad overhaul—both in terms of big-money signings and notable exits—as they look to build on their recent Premier League title success.
