Liverpool transfer news
1) Raheem Sterling (Liverpool to Arsenal)
Linked today with a move to Arsenal, Liverpool star Raheem Sterling, 20, looks like one of the most high-profile young players to be on the move this summer, possibly for as much as £50m as he looks set to reject the offer of a new contract at Anfield.
2) Paul Pogba (Juventus to Chelsea)
Still only 22, Juventus starlet Paul Pogba may already be among the top five midfielders in the world at the moment. The Frenchman has been utterly superb in Serie A and is now wanted back in the Premier League by Chelsea.
3) Koke (Atletico Madrid to Chelsea)
Another top young midfielder wanted by Chelsea is Atletico Madrid playmaker Koke. The Spaniard could join old team-mates Diego Costa, Filipe Luis and Thibaut Courtois if he does make the move to Stamford Bridge.
4) Roberto Firmino (Hoffenheim to Liverpool)
A superb Brazilian prospect, Roberto Firmino has caught the eye of Liverpool with his performances for Bundesliga outfit Hoffenheim this season, and the 23-year-old now looks set for a move to England if reports are to be believed.
5) Kevin De Bruyne (Wolfsburg to Manchester City)
Manchester City reportedly lead the chase for one of the best young attacking midfielders in Europe at the moment, with Wolfsburg star and former Chelsea reject Kevin De Bruyne one of their top summer targets after a highly impressive campaign.
6) Mauro Icardi (Inter Milan to Chelsea)
A superb young striker, Inter Milan starlet Mauro Icardi appears to be firmly on Chelsea’s radar in another big summer move.
7) Ross Barkley (Everton to Manchester City)
Manchester City are one of the clubs keen to sign Everton wonderkid Ross Barkley, another outstanding young English talent who could be switching clubs this summer.
8) Aymeric Laporte (Athletic Bilbao to Manchester United)
With Manchester United chasing new signings in defence, it is claimed that highly-rated Athletic Bilbao centre-back Aymeric Laporte is one who could be on Louis van Gaal’s summer wish-list after some strong displays in La Liga.
9) Luciano Vietto (Villarreal to Liverpool)
Liverpool appear to be one of the favourites to sign Villarreal’s in-demand young forward Luciano Vietto, who is enjoying a highly prolific career in La Liga this season.
10) Paulo Dybala (Palermo to Manchester United)
Manchester United are rumoured to have already bid for Palermo youngster Paulo Dybala, a talented Argentine striker enjoying an eye-catching season for the Italians.
11) Jose Luis Gaya (Valencia to Arsenal)
With reports that he has rejected a new contract offer at current club Valencia, exciting young left-back Jose Luis Gaya is being strongly linked with a big move to Arsenal, in what would be a great buy for the Gunners.
12) Raphael Varane (Real Madrid to Chelsea)
In a staggering £40m move, Chelsea could sign Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane as a superb long-term addition at the back. With John Terry into the final years of his career, this looks a smart move by the Blues if it does happen.
13) Kenedy (Fluminese to Manchester United)
Recent reports suggest Manchester United may be closing in on the signing of Fluminese wonderkid Kenedy, an exciting young Brazilian forward who has drawn comparisons with Barcelona star Neymar.
14) Hakan Calhanoglu (Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool)
Still only 21 years old, Hakan Calhanoglu has been one of the stars of the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen this season, earning the reputation as a free-kick specialist and drawing strong interest from Liverpool.
15) Mohamed Salah (Chelsea to Juventus)
A superb young talent, still only 22, not given a chance at Chelsea, Mohamed Salah could join Juventus this summer after impressing on loan in Serie A with Fiorentina.
