Liverpool transfer news: Liverpool has reportedly held talks with a player targeted by Barcelona, while the Reds are also said to be tracking a forward along with Arsenal.
Liverpool is closing in on signing number two this summer, with Dominik Szoboszlai on the verge of completing his move from RB Leipzig.
According to the ECHO, the midfielder will make his way over to Merseyside today in order to undergo his medical before completing his transfer. Liverpool triggered the $76m (£60m/€70m) clause in the midfielder’s contract in Germany on Friday, with Szoboszlai likely to sign a five-year deal at Anfield.
The 22-year-old’s arrival will signal the second piece of Jürgen Klopp’s summer rebuild, although the work is far from over for the Liverpool boss. All eyes will be on who be next to follow Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, with a third midfielder not out of the question
And according to the latest reports, Liverpool may have already begun talks with one midfield target’s agent amid interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid. Meanwhile, a surprise move for a forward has also been touted, with Arsenal and Newcastle also said to be in the race.
Liverpool has reportedly held talks with Gabri Veiga’s agent over a potential move, although they could face competition from Chelsea.
According to 90min, both the Reds and the Blues have approached Pini Zahavi as they push to sign Veiga, who is also said to be a target for Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Veiga reportedly has a release clause worth $44m (£34m/€40m) in his contract at Celta Vigo. The 21-year-old played a huge role in the La Liga club avoiding relegation last season, scoring twice in a final-day win over Barcelona to secure its safety.
