Liverpool are wasting no time in the transfer market – and fresh updates suggest another major deal is close.
The Reds are believed to be confident of confirming a new signing in the coming days, according to journalist Kevin Palmer.
Writing on X, the TEAMtalk contributor said: “Liverpool are getting their transfer business done early once again… they are confident of confirming another big one imminently 👀”
With Arne Slot now in his second summer window as head coach, the plan appears to be swift and decisive recruitment.
But who’s next?
Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez and Rayan Cherki all linked
The name on every fan’s lips is Florian Wirtz.
The German midfielder has been tracked closely by Liverpool for months, and talks are said to be progressing quickly after the club made a formal approach to Bayer Leverkusen.
Liverpool had a second bid for Florian Wirtz rejected earlier this month (via Christian Falk), but remain optimistic about getting a deal done soon.
Another target under consideration is Hungary left-back Milos Kerkez, currently at Bournemouth.
With Andy Robertson in his thirties and injuries taking more of a toll in the last couple of seasons, a new left-back could be high on the list.
Meanwhile, it’s emerged that our head coach held a face-to-face meeting with Lyon attacker Rayan Cherki last week.
Despite City’s interest in the Frenchman, the fact that the 47-year-old spoke to Cherki in the south of France has reignited questions over who we’re really going after.
Liverpool wasting no time as new era continues with decisive moves
With pre-season just weeks away, the former Feyenoord boss is pushing to build his squad early.
After winning the Premier League in his first season, our Dutch manager is expected to get full backing from the owners.
And if Palmer’s hint proves accurate, the next signing could be announced within days.
Expect more names to follow.

Liverpool has lost a great – EOTK’s tribute to Willie Stevenson, one of Shankly’s best
I’d love it if we got Cherki. He’s unbelievably talented. Citeh might want him but why go to a club which might get kicked out of the league and the manager won’t be staying much longer.
Hardly an exclusive is it given that how widely broadcast it is that we’re negotiating of Wirtz.
I could probably go around making quotes like that without identifying any specific timescales or names.
Fair to say Kevin Palmer knows nothing
so much hearsay about wirtz is he or is he not going to sign for the reds its getting boring now .
A dickhead Kevin palmer a nobody talking out of his arse regarding LFC transfers, FW not worth the money in my opinion look how greedy so stupid Bayern small time club Leverkusen are behaving! so arrogant and so stupid they don’t understand that players are leaving for betterment of themselves so to use a dirty tactic to try and stop FW quitting the club they make so stupid demands to LFC, How LFC see sense and tell both FW and BL to go and jump of the cliff as their financial and additional player demands are unjustifiable and LFC will buy someone else for ridiculous amount of money BL are desperately demanding £126 million, FW is Not worth £126 million he is only worth about £80 million Not a penny more!
Cherki is worth it
Wirtz is a game changer and we haven’t had one since a certain Coutinho left for a colossal amount’ See how much we struggle to create openings against defence minded team, Wirtz has the brains and vision to see those openings. If it helps LFC to win the League or Champions League next season then you’ll be saying it was money well spent.
