As the summer transfer window approaches, the rumor mill is buzzing with speculation and potential deals across Europe. Here’s the latest from Transfer Talk:
Liverpool Hunting Frankfurt’s Pacho
Liverpool is reportedly keen on Eintracht Frankfurt defender Willian Pacho, according to Gianluca Di Marzio. The Reds are said to be strongly interested in the 22-year-old Ecuador international as they seek to bolster their defensive ranks with a left-footed centre-back in the upcoming transfer window. Pacho has impressed since joining Frankfurt from Royal Antwerp last summer, establishing himself as a key player for the Bundesliga side.
Liverpool‘s pursuit of Pacho comes amidst negotiations with current Feyenoord manager Arne Slot, who is rumored to be in line to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Anfield. The potential signing could fill the void left by the 32-year-old and currently injured Joël Matip, who is nearing the end of his contract.
Other transfer rumours:
- Arsenal is reportedly exploring midfield options for the summer, with Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz among the players under consideration, as per the Standard. However, Villa is reluctant to part ways with the 25-year-old Brazilian midfielder.
- Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimarães has an active release clause of £100 million for only one month, according to Fabrizio Romano. Clubs can trigger the clause from the last week of May to the last week of June. Guimarães has attracted attention with his contributions of 10 goals in 32 matches this season.
- Real Sociedad winger Takefusa Kubo intends to remain at the club despite interest from the Premier League, reports Mundo Deportivo. Both Liverpool and Manchester United have shown interest in the 22-year-old Japanese talent, but Kubo is reportedly content at Sociedad, having recently signed a contract extension until 2029.
- Juventus may consider selling midfielder Weston McKennie in the summer if contract negotiations fail, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The USMNT star has impressed in Serie A this season but could be moved on to avoid losing him for free when his contract expires in 2025.
- Palmeiras forward Luis Guilherme is attracting interest from European clubs, including Bayern Munich and Arsenal, reports Fabrizio Romano. Liverpool had previously been linked with a €20 million offer for the 18-year-old Brazilian talent, but their approach is yet to materialize.
