2025 Summer Transfer Rumors and Discussion Closed Window

[bluesfan94]

Where did you get that number from?

If they have only 100M to spend before making sales, given that purchases can only be amortized over 5 years, it stands to reason that they have 20M in wiggle room. And again, that's only looking at this year; given that it's a rolling three year period, looking ahead to next offseason means that 22-23 will roll off the books, when they finished 3rd, were runners-up in the FA Cup, won Carabao Cup, and had some European money.

AS the post mentioned, if they sell one of or both Rashford and Garnacho, they'll get plenty of PSR room, due to both being homegrown players.

I wouldn’t say easily but I think they would have some options with the Barca money. He’s probably LFC’s starting #9 right now.

If LFC somehow pull off the Wirtz transfer, (or get another similarly priced midfielder), they aren’t spending big on a 9.

I wouldn't be so sure. There have been a few legit links to Sesko, Ekitike, and Alvarez (Pipe dream). Could just be contingency plans for Wirtz but if they sell Diaz that's quite a bit of money coming in as well.

I think FSG can be convinced this is a moment where if they spend big on these holes they can seize the opportunity for the next few years with City heading downwards, United in a free fall and Arsenal being Arsenal.

There are definitely going to be options. I am not big on Sesko or Gyokeres. Ekitike is good but he’s getting so expensive you may as well just get (my top choice regardless) Alvarez. Also if The Ev (lol) do us a favor and Newcastle miss UCL then things could get really interesting. I said this in another thread but if any of the forwards besides Salah left I wouldn’t be upset id he replacements were good. There is money this summer either way though. Slot has been pushing for signings in ways Klopp didn’t. Let’s see what happens

Right…for this season only.

Right…for this season only.

Which is especially worrying since they don't actually have any valuable assets that are coming off of amortization soon that would lead to natural relief in future years. So if you sell them and spend big, then you're stuck trying to sell home grown talents for several years to cover for that spending which is obviously an awful way to build a team.

Eric Bailly leaving Villarreal on a free. Ditto Axel Witsel and Reinildo (lnked with United lol) from Atleti.

Pau Lopez's loan from OM to Toluca made permanent for almost 5 mil.

Suso is also leaving Sevilla on a free.

Blast from the past here.

Sounds like that's exactly what he's doing lol.

Barca - pay up and he's yours.

All I know is what many top tier sources have been saying that they can spend 100 million on Cunha and Delap but need sales for others.

Chelsea is now the favourite to sign Delap. Man Divided still want him the most, but Chelsea has a lot going for them, including if they get CL.

Don’t do this to me Ornstein.

Rumor: Kevin De Bruyne (Chicago Fire)

 

[Evilo]

If Wirtz is scouting for a house in the Liverpool area, that might just scare him off....

[Carlzner]

Holy shit, it's really gonna happen

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Bankrolled by Barca?

 

[TheGreatPandasage]

I'm not gonna believe the Wirtz deal until I see him holding a shirt and doing a reveal video like this

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

It’s a very risky and potentially rewarding deal but risky.

 

[Savant]

Bankrolled by Barca?

Theory that Adidas might be helping too

Thanks to Alternative MUFC Commentary: As "Fester" would say, "How dare you? You absolute lowlife."

Every deal is risky. If Wirtz goes to the PL, I’d be shocked if a better player than Wirtz goes to PL this summer

Fun fact, all LFC players live outside Liverpool.

A double announcement video with Frimpong would be a pretty fun way to do this.

More details here:

They are ready to offer United a transfer fee of around £100m if Fernandes accepts a three-year contract worth a basic £700,000-a-week and up to £65m-a-season including signing-on fee and bonuses.

Anything to get away from Leverkusen’s impending ETH hire

 

[JeffreyLFC]

As for Wirtz.

I can disagree with the rumored fee but as football player it's hard to disagree. He is pretty much the ideal AMC. He can create, he can score, he can defend, he can shot from both foot, he can dribble. On paper, it's very exciting to see him at LFC
