While the early opening of the transfer window was facilitated to aid those taking part in this month's Club World Cup, Liverpool are wasting no time using it to their advantage.

Sunday will mark the official registration of Jeremie Frimpong as a Liverpool player after his arrival was confirmed on Friday from Bayer Leverkusen and the triggering of the defender's £29.5m release clause is just the start at Anfield as an intriguing and potentially record-breaking summer begins.

The Reds remain in talks with Leverkusen for Florian Wirtz having tabled a £109m offer on Friday for the Germany international, while interest in Bournemouth's £45m-rated left-back Milos Kerkez continues.

But what about those already at Anfield?

The Ireland international has been attracting suitors from across the Premier League, including newly-promoted Leeds United, West Ham United and most notably Brentford, who are in the market for a new goalkeeper after selling Mark Flekken to Bayer Leverkusen.

Liverpool had been hoping to start the bidding at £20m for a player who is into the last 12 months of deal and will now find himself as third choice behind Giorgi Mamardashvili and Alisson Becker.

Brentford are edging close to completing a deal worth up to £18m.

Defence: Left-backs on the agenda as Konate contract talks step up

While a new deal for Conor Bradley and the arrival of £29.5m Jeremie Frimpong have helped Liverpool move on from the Trent Alexander-Arnold era at right-back, there is also expected to be some movement on the left side.

Milos Kerkez, of Bournemouth, is the primary target to bolster the left-back area and that will inevitably have a knock-on effect for Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas.

Speaking in April, Robertson revealed his desire to hold talks to extend his contract, telling Jamie Carragher at Football For Change's Easter Lunch event: "I've had eight wonderful years so far and I have a year left.

"I am not as young as I once was but I love this club and I have had some great memories here, so let's see what the future holds.

"I still believe I can still produce good performances and some really good performances and I think I have done that this season, so I still think I can produce at the top level and if I can do that then that is where I belong and hopefully I can stay here for many years to come."

Speaking after being given his Premier League winners' medal on Sunday, Tsimikas, cryptically, revealed: "The Greek Scouser’s heart is forever with Liverpool." Newly-promoted Leeds have been linked with the Greece international, who joined in the summer of 2020 in a deal worth around £12m from Olympiakos.

Talks between Ibrahima Konate's agent and Liverpool over a new deal progressed in late May.

The France international is into the final year of his deal and will have Europe's top clubs queuing up for a potential free transfer next summer.

The Reds centre-back, though, insists he is happy on Merseyside and hit out at "completely fake" speculation from some in the media when chatting on his 26th birthday last week.

"You know, I just want to say one thing: Everything you saw on social media is completely fake," Konate said.

Liverpool aren't actively searching for buyers but a lot will depend on the wishes of a player who joined as a 16-year-old in 2019.

Wataru Endo is another whose future might come in for speculation but the Japan captain was adamant recently, stating: "If you ask me if I want to throw away the chance to play for Liverpool and move to another team, the answer is no."

Forwards: Nunez days look numbered as Chiesa decision awaits

The decision to shun Saudi Arabian interest in Darwin Nunez was vindicated by the Premier League title success but a revival of January's advances will see the Reds more open to discussing the sale of the Uruguay striker.

The No.9 started just one Premier League in 2025 - the 3-1 win over Southampton in early March - and it looks increasingly clear that his future will lie away from Anfield as an overhaul of the frontline department awaits.

It's unclear what the next move is for Luis Diaz.

"To be part of this great institution, this great club and to have great team-mates around me."

Slot spoke last month about the importance of a full and uninterrupted pre-season period for Federico Chiesa in his attempts to make the grade at Liverpool and the head coach says he expects the Italy international to stay.

"Does he have a future here?
