Overview
- Liverpool confirmed the signing of Spanish winger Víctor Muñoz after activating his reported £34.5m release clause and agreeing a six-year contract, a deal first reported this week.
- Multiple outlets report Iraola personally persuaded Muñoz to join by outlining how he would use the player in a detailed phone call, a recruitment style the club has prioritised.
- The club is actively pursuing RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomandé, with reports saying Liverpool are willing to offer about £86m while Leipzig are holding out for roughly £112m.
- Paris Saint-Germain's Bradley Barcola remains on Liverpool's radar as an alternative wide option, with Fabrizio Romano reporting interest from both Liverpool and Arsenal amid stalled PSG talks.
- Anfield has rejected a second Inter Milan bid for Curtis Jones and is not sanctioning Cody Gakpo's exit, and the club faces urgent recruitment pressure as several senior players have left and rivals vie for the same young attackers.
