Who?
Karim Adeyemi
Where?
What?
It is reported that the Germany international is “close to joining” Borussia Dortmund, following his impressive performances for Red Bull Salzburg.
Adeyemi has already scored 20 goals for the Austrian side this season and has seemingly attracted attention across Europe.
Liverpool are allegedly “set to miss out” on the striker, who is also claimed to have attracted “keen” interest from Newcastle United. However, it is reported that Dortmund have now agreed a £29m fee for the 20-year-old forward, with the move described as “imminent”.
Who?
Cody Gakpo
Where?
What?
The PSV Eindhoven forward is claimed to have “captured the attention” of several English clubs, with Liverpool among them. It is suggested that Gakpo’s entourage has “already spoken with” the Reds over a potential move, with similar discussions also taking place with Arsenal and Manchester City.
However, it has been reported that the 22-year-old has spoken with future PSV manager Ruud van Nistelrooy about a “longer stay” at the Dutch club. Gakpo is said to have previously told club officials that he is “ready” to take the next step in his career, but PSV will be looking for a record fee in the region of £33m after the forward recently signed a new contract until 2026.
Who?
Gleison Bremer
Where?
What?
Gleison Bremer has already been linked with several clubs ahead of the summer transfer window. Liverpool have been touted with an “interest” in the Torino centre-back but reportedly face competition from other Premier League clubs.
The report suggests that Leicester City are “considering” a £40m move for the Brazil international. It is claimed that there could be “quite the fight” to sign Bremer this summer, whose current contract runs until 2024.
