Liverpool reach agreement with Ajax over "one of the GREATEST talents in Europe"
Ajax reach agreement for Vitezslav Jaros
Jaros kept a clean sheet on that occasion but in truth a decisive breakthrough into the first team on Merseyside appears unlikely.
Although Caoimhin Kelleher is no longer standing in his way, Jaros has had to watch as both Giorgi Mamardashvili and Armin Pecsi come into the club this summer.

Accordingly the goalkeeper will have to strike out in search of first-team football next season and an agreement has now been reached over a loan deal to Heitinga's Ajax.
That's according to a new report in De Telegraaf, which claims the deal will be made official once Jaros completes a medical on either Tuesday or Wednesday this week.

Jaros: "One of the greatest goalkeeping talents in Europe"
Furthermore, the report states that Jaros 'is seen as one of the greatest goalkeeping talents in Europe.'
It will be a straight loan for the shot-stopper, who is also being tipped to sign an extension to a contract that currently expires in 2026.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Jaros, who initially joined the Reds as a youth from Slavia Prague back in 2017.
He has since experienced loans at St Patrick's Athletic, Notts County, Stockport and Sturm Graz - where he won the Austrian league and cup double.

Milos Kerkez's dad makes 'done deal' statement on Liverpool transfer
Milos Kerkez to Liverpool is "basically a done deal" according to the player's father, who has claimed that the Bournemouth defender is unwilling to speak with any other team. Liverpool has already agreed on a deal in the region of $52 million for Kerkez, with personal terms finalized between the 21-year-old and the Premier League champions. Kerkez's brother has already dropped a major hint that the deal has been completed, and now his father has claimed that the agreement is almost complete. Advertisement "It's only Liverpool for us and we're not going anywhere else and we won't talk to other clubs," Kerkez's father said. "Everything is done between us we just need to sort out some details but it's basically a done deal."

The full-back position is set to be overhauled, with Trent Alexander-Arnold now at Real Madrid and Andy Robertson entering the final year of his contract. Advertisement The Reds have already replaced Alexander-Arnold with Jeremie Frimpong, although his future role in Arne Slot's team remains uncertain. Frimpong is expected to play in a variety of positions, with Conor Bradley stepping into the right-back role full-time. Liverpool is also on the verge of breaking its transfer record, after reaching an initial $139.5 million agreement with Bayer Leverkusen for midfielder Florian Wirtz.

Marko shared a story of his brother on a speedboat, adding the caption: "Milos Kerkez, soon to be a new Liverpool player." Advertisement Bournemouth has already signed a replacement, which is helping accelerate the deal. The Cherries have signed French left-back Adrien Truffert, who played 33 times for Rennes in Ligue 1 last season and captained the side. Kerkez enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2024-25, playing in all 38 Premier League games for Bournemouth and scoring two goals. The Hungarian also provided five assists, and plays with current Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai on the national team.

"When a big club like AC Milan looks for you, there aren't many people who can say no," Kerkez said after signing. Advertisement "I received a phone call directly from Paolo Maldini. The decision was very simple and I took it together with my father." However, after listening to his father's advice, Kerkez left Milan after one season to sign with AZ Alkmaar. "I was doing well, I had many opportunities to train with the first team, and it was an unforgettable experience," Kerkez added. "But I decided once again with my father that going to AZ Alkmaar would be the perfect opportunity to establish myself in professional football. "We made the best choice," Kerkez concluded. Now, after two stunning seasons on the south coast of England, Kerkez is on the verge of joining the Premier League champions.

Fabrizio Romano confirms Liverpool in talks over SENSATIONAL €100m striker deal
Liverpool are in the hunt for a striker and one player's name is commonly being reported. That player is Hugo Ekitike at Eintracht Frankfurt, a young 22-year-old Frenchman who has been creating a lot of attention this season following a 34-goal contribution campaign. Shop the LFC Store The new LFC x Air Max range 🔥 Nike x Air Max LFC x Nike Air Max Advertisement Buy Now LFC Retro Shirts LFC Retro Shirts Buy Now Home Jersey LFC Kits Buy Now LFC Nike Training LFC Nike Training Buy Now Among others, he is one of the leading candidates to replace Darwin Nunez as the Reds's striker, although extensive interest from Chelsea has been reported, which led Liverpool fans to believe that the club might have missed out on the opportunity to secure his signature for a long-term move. However, we have no received an update on his situation and things are looking promising. © IMAGO Ekitike is still considering his options According to Fabrizio Romano, writing in his Give Me Sport newsletter, not all hope is lost for Ekitike. In response to the question, 'does he have a Premier League club he would prefer to join?', he said: "No, he's considering all his options and still talking to all these clubs [Manchester United], Liverpool and Chelsea]. No decision has been made yet." Advertisement As such, the Reds can think positively about their chances, although his €100m asking price is still going to be a significant hurdle for Liverpool to get passed before an official approach is made. Using the current exchange rate, that figure would be around £85m, which is what the previously agreed fee for Nunez to join the club was back in 2022, although the initial fee was just £65m with £20m in add-ons - £12.7m of which were actually triggered, taking his outlay to £77.7m. Nonetheless, a move with a similar cost would need to be heavily considered, even if the approach this summer is to spend money when necessary. A level of certainty about Ekitike would be required.

Darwin Nunez transfer takes GIANT step forward
Darwin Nunez is set to leave Liverpool this summer and a transfer has taken a major step forward. The Uruguayan is a wanted man. It's long been clear that Darwin Nunez will leave Liverpool in 2025. There was even a chance that it happens in January. Shop the LFC Store The new LFC x Air Max range 🔥 Nike x Air Max LFC x Nike Air Max Advertisement Buy Now LFC Retro Shirts LFC Retro Shirts Buy Now Home Jersey LFC Kits Buy Now LFC Nike Training LFC Nike Training Buy Now Anfield Watch exclusively revealed back in the winter that Liverpool had received an offer of around £70m for Nunez from Al-Hilal. The Reds rejected it, however, as they didn't want to lose an important player mid-season. It didn't make sense for them as they marched towards the Premier League title and, at the time, harboured hopes of winning the UEFA Champions League. As it turned out, Nunez played very little part of the season half of the campaign. That made it all the more clear that Liverpool would ultimately sell. The striker doesn't quite fit into Arne Slot's plans but his ability and profile naturally draws suitors. Advertisement With that in mind, the sale took a major step forward this week. Nunez is wanted in Italy Corriere Dello Sport reports that both AC Milan and Napoli want to sign Nunez. They're each in the market for a top-level striker and feel the Uruguayan can be that. The idea for both parties is that Nunez might be a better fit there than he is at Liverpool. Though, we should add that the forward's record at Anfield is actually very solid - he's just not quite reliable enough in front of goal for Slot's system. Two major clubs deciding they are interested in Nunez is a giant step forward, then, as Liverpool can now enter talks with some competition for their player. There was a real risk of that, given he finally rejected Al-Hilal ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup. Advertisement And so this one could move forward quite quickly. Both Milan and Napoli are prepared to negotiate with Nunez as their top target, meaning these are serious negotiations rather than just 'exploratory' talks. The player is said to be willing to move to Italy, too, which is another vital piece of the puzzle here. We could now see click together in what we imagine will be Liverpool's biggest sale of the summer.
