Liverpool agree deal validating £41m transfer and drop asking price
Just a few days remain till Liverpool’s new Premier League season begins.
The Reds have already won their first piece of hardware and will be attempting to win the Premier League once more this season.
Although, of course, the title is by no means a significant one, Liverpool overcame Manchester City in the Community Shield over the weekend to get off to a winning start.
After narrowly missing out on the Premier League championship the previous year, Jurgen Klopp’s team will be vying for it this time around.
We’ve compiled all the most recent Anfield-related news and transfer rumors as the new season approaches.
Phillips asking price dropped
According to reports, Liverpool has lowered the asking price for defender Nat Phillips.
Last season, Phillips spent time on loan at Bournemouth, aiding the Cherries in their return to the Premier League.
According to The Express, Liverpool wants £10 million for Phillips’ signing, and the Cherries reportedly want him on a permanent basis.
According to the story, that is $5 million less than what they had originally demanded.
At Anfield, Phillips is not expected to see regular football, and it appears that he will be free to look for it elsewhere.
Jota Deal
One of Liverpool’s top forwards has signed a new contract, locking him down.
Diogo Jota, who joined only two years ago in a £41 million transfer from Wolves, has signed terms that will keep him with the club until 2027.
The Portuguese player has since become a phenomenon at Anfield, considerably surpassing expectations and contributing significantly to Jurgen Klopp’s team.
Liverpool is advancing with Jota after losing Sadio Mane to an expired contract and with Roberto Firmino in a precarious position.
And for his 34 goals in 85 games to far, they have rewarded him with a lucrative new, long-term contract to ensure his future with Liverpool.
