Liverpool
Summary

Liverpool are entering a new era under head coach Andoni Iraola, and the early signs of his tenure point to a club with clear intent in the transfer market. After finishing fifth in the Premier League with 60 points, drawing their final home game 1-1 against Brentford, the Reds are building toward a squad capable of closing the gap on the top four.

Iraola has confirmed the club is working hard to add more players following the early arrivals of Victor Munoz and Jeremy Jacquet. The most imminent addition appears to be Colombian teenager Samuel Martinez from Atletico Nacional, with Liverpool closing in on a deal for one of South America's most promising young talents. On the retention front, Dominik Szoboszlai is nearing a long-term contract extension, a significant boost given his importance to the midfield since joining from RB Leipzig.

Not every target has come off. Serhou Guirassy's €40 million release clause expired without Liverpool or any other major club activating it, while Jarrod Bowen looks set to stay with relegated West Ham rather than move to Anfield. Florian Wirtz, who cost £116 million last summer, faces pressure to deliver after a difficult debut season, with former Liverpool player Danny Murphy setting double figures in goals and assists as the minimum expectation.

Off the pitch, the club is mourning the death of Kevin Keegan at 75, a player who became one of Anfield's most beloved figures. Liverpool's next outing is a pre-season friendly against Sunderland on July 25.
