Liverpool have first two summer signings agreed, with two more in talks: Report…

Liverpool has finalized agreements for their initial two summer signings, with discussions ongoing for an additional two.

The club is making significant strides in securing deals ahead of the summer transfer window.

The latest updates on Liverpool’s news and transfers include information regarding Kevin De Bruyne, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and others.

The Reds are preparing for their upcoming Premier League match against Arsenal at Anfield this Sunday.

Arsenal, having recently been eliminated from the Champions League semi-finals by Paris Saint-Germain, will be looking to recover.

Mikel Arteta’s team faces a critical challenge in the league as they compete for a spot in the prestigious European tournament, with Manchester City, Newcastle United, and Chelsea closely trailing them.

This match marks Liverpool’s first appearance since the announcement of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s departure at the end of the season.

Speculation regarding player movements at Anfield is rampant. The ECHO reports that claims of Liverpool contacting Kevin De Bruyne for a transfer are inaccurate, yet the club remains linked with various talents across Europe, particularly Real Madrid’s Rodrygo. Reports from Brazil suggest that Liverpool is among the clubs interested in acquiring the Brazilian forward.

Additionally, there are rumors regarding a potential move for AS Monaco’s full-back Vanderson, with the Ligue 1 club reportedly seeking €30 million (£25 million).

Meanwhile, a River Plate representative has dismissed sensational claims about a potential transfer for Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez.

Liverpool has reached out regarding Rodrygo. TBR Football indicates that Liverpool has initiated contact with Real Madrid’s Rodrygo.

Reports indicate that Arsenal and Manchester City are actively pursuing the Brazilian international, who appears to have an uncertain future in London and is attracting interest from Premier League clubs.

The forward, capable of playing centrally or on the flanks, has made 17 starts and come off the bench eight times in 30 matches, netting six goals and providing an equal number of assists.

Additionally, Alan Shearer has identified Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries as a viable replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool.

The former Newcastle striker believes Dumfries can effectively fill the gap left by the departing defender, noting his impressive performances in an entirely different system at Inter.

Shearer praised Dumfries’ energy and offensive contributions, including goals and assists in crucial matches.

While acknowledging defensive concerns, he emphasized Dumfries’ offensive capabilities.

Arne Slot, being a fellow Dutchman, is expected to have a deeper understanding of Dumfries’ potential.

Although a move to Liverpool is a possibility, Dumfries also has opportunities to compete for the Champions League and league titles, placing him in a favorable position.

Furthermore, Liverpool has reportedly reached out to intermediaries regarding a replacement for Alexander-Arnold, with Monaco’s right-back Vander on being a target.

The 23-year-old is valued at approximately €30 million by the Ligue 1 club and has three years left on his contract, having joined from Gremio in 2022 for around €11 million.

The defender has scored one goal and provided three assists in 27 appearances in the French top division, having missed only two matches due to suspension, while being benched for two others and omitted from the squad earlier this season.

Recent reports from the Spanish outlet Marca indicate that Real Madrid remains interested in 20-year-old Dean Huijsen.

The publication states, ‘The name most often associated with Valdebebas, and the one generating the most activity from the club’s sporting directors, is Dean Huijsen.’

Additionally, TEAMtalk reports that between Chelsea and Liverpool, it is Enzo Maresca’s team that has offered Huijsen a ‘more attractive financial package.’
