LiverpoolSummary
Liverpool are in the middle of a significant rebuild this summer, with new head coach Andoni Iraola inheriting a squad in transition after the club finished fifth in the Premier League with 60 points. The most pressing question surrounds Virgil van Dijk, who enters the final year of his contract and has reportedly lost his untouchable status at Anfield. Liverpool are prepared to listen to offers for their captain, with AC Milan identified as serious suitors driven by senior advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic. A departure would represent a major shift in the club's defensive identity.
Off the pitch, the instability runs deeper. Sporting director Richard Hughes is expected to leave for Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League, adding to a sense of structural change at the top of the club. On a more sombre note, Liverpool unveiled a permanent memorial to Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva at Anfield, marking the approach of the first anniversary of their deaths.
In the transfer market, Liverpool have already moved decisively by completing the £60 million signing of French defender Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes on a five-year deal. Their pursuit of a new winger has proved more complicated. Top target Yan Diomande chose PSG over a move to Merseyside, forcing the club to explore alternatives including PSG's Bradley Barcola and Mexico teenager Gilberto Mora, who impressed at the 2026 World Cup. A pre-season friendly against Sunderland on July 25 will give Iraola his first real opportunity to begin shaping his squad.
