May Liverpool’s summer time switch window be about to belatedly burst into life?
Tuesday has seen studies that the Reds are closing in on a deal for Giorgi Mamardashvili (Fabrizio Romano and James Pearce), whereas there’s additionally renewed curiosity in Marc Guehi amid Newcastle doubtlessly pulling out of the race if Crystal Palace reject their newest provide (David Ornstein).
One other identify which has finished the rounds abundantly in latest weeks is Anthony Gordon; and though the Magpies’ have to promote the winger is much much less pressing now than what it had been two months in the past, Ian Doyle stays optimistic that it might nonetheless materialise, even when it isn’t earlier than the top of August.
The Liverpool Echo journalist advised the Blood Pink Podcast in relation to LFC’s hyperlinks with the £75m-valued ex-Everton ahead: “I used to be very satisfied by that, and, to be sincere, I nonetheless am, however as we get in direction of the deadline the much less seemingly it seems like it will likely be this summer time.”

We agree with Doyle when he says {that a} swoop for Gordon earlier than the top of August appears more and more unlikely, with late June feeling prefer it was the second to strike as Newcastle nearly fended off the specter of punishment as they managed to maintain inside PSR guidelines.
The 23-year-old winger, who Alan Shearer dubbed a ‘harmful‘ participant, has reportedly indicated that he’d be prepared to return to Merseyside and was believed to have been able to make the transfer when the 2 golf equipment concerned had labored on a potential deal a few months in the past.

The England worldwide would face loads of competitors for a left-sided berth at Anfield, the place Arne Slot can already determine between Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo. The appropriate flank is relatively extra threadbare, with no pure senior backup for Mo Salah on that facet.
Though we don’t envisage a sudden late August swoop for Gordon, that isn’t to say that Liverpool received’t attempt to transfer for him in 2025, significantly if any of their present wingers had been to depart.
It’s been a deafeningly quiet summer time to date on the switch entrance for the Reds, however stand by for potential fireworks within the remaining 10 days of the window!
