Liverpool enter transfer tug of war with Newcastle as offer made to sign Ligue 1 youngster

Liverpool have dominated transfer headlines ever since they were crowned Premier League champions

 

 

 

Arne Slot’s Liverpool have established themselves as one of the most dominant forces in English football over the past season. While the Reds fell short in the Champions League—eliminated in the Round of 16 by eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain—the campaign as a whole still reflected significant progress and consistency under the new management.

Despite a strong showing domestically, Liverpool’s title rivals are already making moves in the transfer market, and the Anfield outfit knows it must do the same to stay ahead of the curve.

Reds Eyeing the Future with Boudlal Bid

One of the most intriguing developments comes from France, where Moroccan outlet Le360Sport reports that Liverpool have made a “concrete offer” for Abdelhamid Aït Boudlal, a 19-year-old defender who spent the second half of last season on loan at Amiens.

Boudlal is quickly making a name for himself, and it’s not just Liverpool who are taking notice. Newcastle United are also reported to have met with the player’s representatives, while OGC Nice, Lille, and two unnamed La Liga clubs have shown interest.

Wirtz, Kerkez, and More Incoming?

This move is part of a broader strategy by Liverpool to strengthen and future-proof their squad. The club has already been heavily linked with rising stars like Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez, deals that are said to be close to completion even before the summer transfer window officially opens.

There are also whispers about Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike joining the Merseyside club as Slot aims to add more firepower to his frontline.

Outgoings a Must

However, with Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations looming and the need to balance the books, Liverpool will likely need to sanction several departures.

One name attracting attention is Jarell Quansah. The young centre-back saw plenty of action under Jurgen Klopp, but under Slot, he has fallen down the pecking order behind players like Joe Gomez. Now, with RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund reportedly circling, a move to the Bundesliga could be on the cards.

Should Boudlal arrive, it may spell the beginning of the end for Quansah at Anfield—a disappointing outcome for some fans, but possibly the best step forward for the player’s development.
