Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola has addressed the mounting speculation regarding Alexis Mac Allister's future following reports linking the midfield star with a move to Real Madrid. The Basque tactician also identified the clear areas of the squad that require immediate reinforcement before the window slams shut.

For some football fans, the summer is the part of the calendar that they look forward to the most - and that's not just because it's filled by a World Cup every four years! Rather, it's because the end of the season means only one thing: It's time for transfers! The 2026 window is once again proving to be busy, with some huge names making big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.

The football world seems to move faster and faster these days. No sooner had the World Cup ended than attention immediately shifted to the transfer market - which is understandable, given some massive deals are expected to be confirmed in the coming days, following in the footsteps of Morgan Rogers' shock £117 million move from Aston Villa to Chelsea.
