‘Sources Have Told’: Liverpool Have Made Transfer Decision on ‘Superb’ £100m Player

According to a report from 90min, Liverpool aim to strengthen their forward line this summer but will not pursue Anthony Gordon.

The Reds are also demonstrating a strong interest in Bayer Leverkusen centre-back Jonathan Tah. Reliable journalist Ben Jacobs, writing on the website, indicates that “sources have told” them that Liverpool will not pursue either of them.

Liverpool are heading in a new direction this summer following the departure of Jurgen Klopp. With a new footballing structure in place, the club aim to provide the best support for head coach Arne Slot to continue Klopp’s legacy.

Acquiring a wide creative player, such as a winger or forward, is a top priority for the Reds this summer. The club reportedly admire Gordon’s talents but considers the 23-year-old to be too expensive.

The Merseyside giants are also seeking to purchase a new centre-back this summer, following the departure of Joel Matip after his contract expired.

Move for Gordon Highly Unlikely

Earlier this month, the Daily Star reported that Liverpool are considering a move for Gordon. To secure the versatile attacking midfielder, and Reds would need to pay close to £100 million.

The upcoming transfer window will be crucial for Liverpool, particularly regarding their decision on Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian forward has one year remaining on his current contract, and Liverpool might be inclined to sell him if a substantial offer from a Saudi club is presented.

Last summer, Liverpool turned down a significant bid for Salah, but this stance might shift in the coming weeks. Several well-connected journalists associated with Liverpool have recently indicated that the club is likely to retain their star forward.

Gordon has been outstanding this season, demonstrating his versatility by playing in multiple positions.
