Liverpool transfer news as target ‘says yes’ to Arsenal and star’s agent ‘holds talks’

Liverpool is entering an intriguing summer transfer window with a new manager in charge for the first time in nearly a decade. With Arne Slot now at the helm, it remains to be seen to what extent there will be an overhaul of playing personnel at Anfield.

It seems unlikely there will be sweeping changes, but there are also few players in the squad who anyone could say with complete confidence will remain at the club next season. There’s a lot of uncertainty, and a lot of potential movement to happen.

Various players have been linked with moves to join Liverpool at a host of positions, while various players have been linked with exits including Darwin Núñez and Luis Díaz. The latter has now emerged alongside Joe Gomez as the latest target of Saudi Pro League interest, with Mohamed Salah and Alisson Becker also on their radar.

Here is the Liverpool.com latest on the transfer gossip to emerge around the Reds today, including a rumored attacking target expressing his desire to join Arsenal and talks involving the agent of Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch.

Benjamin Šeško

RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Šeško has attracted a lot of interest from clubs in Europe. The £45million-rated attacker was linked with Liverpool by German outlet BILD back in February.

However, the Mirror now claims that he has ‘said yes’ to Arsenal, expressing that a move to the Emirates would be his preference in the summer window. Whether that move will materialize or not remains to be seen, but it’s said to be Šeško’s ideal scenario.

That doesn’t necessarily mean the door is closed for Liverpool. But it does suggest the Gunners hold the advantage, and they are in the market for a striker to link up with Kai Havertz.

Liverpool.com says: There has not been a huge amount of noise suggesting Liverpool was seriously interest in Šeško, but it appears they would be lower down his list of priorities if there was. In reality, Liverpool’s interest in a striker is likely to depend a lot on its plans for Darwin Núñez, and it’s been claimed Slot sees him playing a big role.

Ryan Gravenberch

Ryan Gravenberch had a mixed first season at Liverpool after his move last summer. While he has not enjoyed the success he had hoped for since leaving Ajax two summers ago, he still has admirers.

According to Calciomercato, his name came up as his agent, Enzo Raiola, held talks with AC Milan. While he was discussing the future of his client, Ismaël Bennacer, and other potential targets, it’s claimed the Italian club expressed its appreciation for the Liverpool midfielder.
