Liverpool transfer news: Reds confirm wonderkid deal as seven stars depart Anfield
Liverpool have had a stunning summer so far. Having lifted the Premier League title, Arne Slot has wasted no time in bolstering his squad.
Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong have arrived from Bayer Levekusen, while Milos Kerkez has been drafted in from Bournemouth. Young goalkeeper Armin Pecsi has bolstered the club’s goalkeeping ranks alongside Freddie Woodman, who is set to complete a free move from Preston North End.
That is without even mentioning the imminent arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvilli, who was signed last summer from Valencia before returning to the La Liga side on loan. And the Reds might not even be done there.
A striker is on the club’s shortlist, while Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi is closing in on a move to Anfield. But will Liverpool get everything that they need before the window closes in September?
There’s still plenty of work to do so get up to date with all of the latest transfer news and rumours from the red half of Merseyside:

Nyoni pens new contractLiverpool wonderkid Trey Nyoni has signed a new long-term deal at Liverpool after his breakout. The midfielder was signed from Leicester in 2023 and went straight into the Reds’ youth ranks.
But Nyoni got his chance last season under Arne Slot, making five senior appearances last term and becoming Liverpool’s youngest ever player in Europe in the process. And it has now been confirmed that he has signed an extended deal at Anfield after turning 18.
“It means a lot, obviously supporting the club from young as well,” said Nyoni. “So, it’s a great feeling. But now I have to go out and show why I’ve earned this contract. I think it’s just step by step, day by day, just becoming better every day, just improving as a player.
“I’m still young, there’s a lot of improvement. That’s the most important thing. I just have to repay them in that way.”
While Nyoni is going nowhere, seven of his first-team colleagues have officially left Anfield at the end of their deals. Academy stars to have left include Jakub Orjzynski, Dominic Corness, Reece Trueman, Lee Jonas, Louis Enahoro-Marcus, Harry Evers and Jacob Poytress.
All of their contracts expired on Monday. Fellow academy graduate Trent Alexander-Arnold would have been included on that list but sealed an early move to Real Madrid after Liverpool struck a deal with the Spanish giants.
The defender has since been playing for his new side at the Club World Cup in the USA.
Bayern eye DiazAnother player who could potentially be on the move is Luis Diaz. Barcelona have already been linked with the Colombian forward but it appears that they could face competition.
As per Sky in Germany, Bayern Munich are also keeping tabs on Diaz. The Bundesliga giants gave reportedly gathered all relevant information on him, while Liverpool would be open to him leaving should they receive a satisfactory offer.
Talks are yet to be opened between the two clubs but Liverpool are already on the hunt for a new winger.
