LiverpoolSummary
Liverpool are in the middle of a significant rebuild under new head coach Andoni Iraola, and the early signs suggest the club is moving with purpose. Iraola, speaking publicly for the first time since taking charge at Anfield, confirmed the club is working hard to add more players after completing early deals for Victor Munoz and Jeremy Jacquet. That activity reflects the scale of the task ahead, with Liverpool finishing fifth in the Premier League last season on 60 points, five behind Aston Villa in fourth.
The most encouraging piece of squad news centres on Dominik Szoboszlai. Liverpool are close to agreeing a long-term contract extension with the Hungary international, who has developed into one of the club's most reliable performers since joining from RB Leipzig. Securing him on a new deal sends a clear message about Iraola's plans and removes a potential distraction early in the window.
The club also appears to be thinking ahead with its recruitment. Liverpool are closing in on Colombian teenager Samuel Martinez from Atletico Nacional, adding young talent at what is described as a bargain fee. That move sits alongside the unresolved situation of Harvey Elliott, whose loan at Aston Villa was disrupted by contractual complications. Iraola has addressed Elliott's future directly, though his long-term role at the club remains unclear.
With a pre-season friendly against Sunderland on July 25 approaching, Iraola has time to assess his squad before competitive football resumes. The rebuild is underway.
