Liverpool’s transfer rumours still concern mostly outgoing deals as the new Premier League season prepares to get underway.
Xherdan Shaqiri with one foot out the door
After a few years alternately impressing and bewildering fans with great goals and long stretches out of the team, Xherdan Shaqiri is set to be sold.
There’s no absolute agreement yet, but the Reds and Lyon are in talks and Shaqiri has agreed terms to make him the club’s best-paid player, reports say, so it’s all down to the price on the table.
Opinions differ on whether we’re still seeking £12m-plus or a much lower figure of around £7m, but Lyon’s first offer was turned down anyway.
We’ll miss those massive calves of his.
Reds rumours of the day
- Nat Phillips isn’t involved in first-team training at the moment and while there’s no imminent indication that he is ready to move on, it seems probable this is a protective move ahead of a transfer
- Houssem Aouar has been one midfielder linked with the Reds, but latest reports say Arsenal are going back in for him now instead of James Maddison
- Jeremy Doku is still a Reds target but the club haven’t yet talked to Rennes, says Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri
