FIVE ARRIVALS …
Adam Lallana (Southampton)
The brilliant Saints captain has just enjoyed yet another fine campaign in midfield for the south coast club, with the 26-year-old having even been called up by England head coach Roy Hodgson for this summer’s Fifa World Cup finals in Brazil as a result of those eye-catching displays.
And now the wide man is set to finally complete his dream move to the Merseyside giants in a deal expected to cost the Reds as much as £25m.
Michel Vorm (Swansea City)
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is known to now have a few doubts about recent new signing Simon Mignolet, which is why the Northern Irishman is understood to be keen to lure his former Swans keeper to Anfield this summer so as to provide some much-needed competition for the Belgium international between the posts next season.
Yevhen Konoplyanka (Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk)
The Reds came desperately close to landing the in-demand Ukraine international during the recent January transfer window, only for the Premier League giants to refuse to meet Dnipro’s £20m asking price for their star man.
However, with the wide man now available to buy for as little as 15m euros, expect Liverpool to reignite their interest in the 24-year-old this summer.
Alberto Moreno (Sevilla)
The new Spain international is already considered by many good judges to be one of the best left backs currently operating on Planet Football after turning in a string of eye-catching displays for his club side in both La Liga and Europe last season, with Liverpool hoping to be able to now beat off stiff competition in the 21-year-old’s services and sign the player for £15m this summer.
Steven Caulker (Cardiff City)
The Merseysiders’ manager Brendan Rodgers is known to be a big admirer of the England international, who played under the Northern Irishman whiles spending a season-long loan at Swansea City back in the 2011-12 campaign, with it now expected that the 22-year-old will be sold by the Bluebirds following their relegation from the Premier League last time out.
5 DEPARTURES …
Daniel Agger
With the Reds vice-captain having been sat on the substitutes’ bench for much of the second half of last season, the 29-year-old is now set to leave Anfield after eight years on Merseyside, with the man who first brought the centre back to Liverpool, Napoli boss Rafa Benitez, the favourite to snap the player up this summer.
Lucas Leiva
The Brazil international was far from at his best when called upon by Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers in the closing stages of last season after having recovered from a serious knee ligament injury he picked up against Aston Villa in the Premier League back in January, with the 27-year-old now expected to join Inter Milan this summer as a result.
Iago Aspas
The Spanish striker was a huge disappointment in what was his debut campaign on Merseyside last time out following his £7.7m arrival from La Liga strugglers Celta Vigo, failing to find the back of the net in the Premier League all season long, so much so in fact that the 26-year-old is set to be offloaded back to his former club this summer if suitable price can be agreed that is.
Brad Jones
The Australia international missed out on selection by his country for this summer’s World Cup in Brazil due to a lack of any real first-team football at Anfield last season, where the 32-year-old spent most of the campaign warming the substitutes’ bench acting as understudy to Reds No 1 Simon Mignolet, and now as a result the shot stopper wants to quit the club in search of more regular game next season.
Luis Alberto
Another new recruit by Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers last summer who just did not make the grade at Anfield last season, with the Spain Under-21 international failing to hit the target at all in any of his 12 appearances in all competitions for his new team following is £6.8m switch from La Liga outfit Sevilla, with a return to his homeland now believed to be very much on the cards this summer.
