Liverpool’s summer transfer window has officially reached the “one in, one out” stage. Villa’s original £35m option is long gone, and Liverpool will have to take a heavy hit on the 23-year-old just to get a deal done.

Chiesa, meanwhile, looks like a stylistic misfit for Iraola’s pressing system. Then there’s Curtis Jones.

Moving Jones, Elliott, and Chiesa on wouldn’t just trim a bloated squad; it would give Iraola and Hughes the headroom they need in the market. The clock is ticking down to early September, and unless the scales balance soon, Liverpool’s pursuit of a top-tier winger will remain firmly on ice.
