Liverpool have been one of the busiest teams in the Premier League during the 2025-26 summer transfer window.

Arne Slot’s men were already fairly dominant in the top flight last season, but with the arrival of Florian Wirtz now confirmed, they stand an even better chance of retaining the Premier League title.

And, although Liverpool have spent close to £200million on new signings, due to the sales they’re looking to make, there’s still plenty more room for negotiations with the Reds now set to go head-to-head with Everton for a midfielder likened to Leon Goretzka.

The name Merlin Rohl is almost certainly a name that hardly any Liverpool fans will have heard of.

The German midfielder is just 22 years old and has been setting the Bundesliga alight this season, with Liverpool even showing an interest in Rohl earlier this season.

And, as per a new report from SportBILD via SportWitness, it seems like Liverpool are ready to go head-to-head with other Premier League teams to acquire his services.

The report outlines that Everton have already made two offers for the midfielder in January, with Freiburg refusing to sell.

Since then, other Premier League clubs such as Liverpool, Crystal Palace and Newcastle have now put themselves ‘in the picture.’

The report also adds that now Freiburg have ‘added in his position’ a move ‘is not out of the question’ this summer.

However, even though his current valuation is around €12million (£10.2million), the Bundesliga outfit want ‘significantly more’ than that.
