A year after a transfer window worth almost 500 million euros, Liverpool still intends to strengthen this summer. We cannot really say that these recruitments have had immediate results for the moment. Alexander Isak and Giovanni Leoni spent the season on the sidelines, Hugo Ekitike finished it. As for Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez, they blew hot and cold throughout the season.
We also know that this summer will mark a new beginning since Mohamed Salah, Ibrahima Konaté and Andrew Robertson have all left the club. The leaders of the Reds do not want to endure the situation, but rather to control it. With this in mind, they have already worked hard to bring in the right profiles. Jérémy Jacquet signed from Rennes in January for almost 70 million euros, while the arrival of a striker has also been completed.
Víctor Muñoz fails at Newcastle
As Fabrizio Romano reveals, Liverpool will register the signing of Víctor Muñoz. Author of a big season under the colors of Osasuna (36 matches, 7 goals, 5 assists), the 22-year-old winger has become the new attraction of Spanish football. It’s no coincidence that Luis de la Fuente called him up for the World Cup. After two selections, the player who played for Barça and Real Madrid as a youth, already has one goal.
But while he seemed committed to Newcastle, ready to pay 40 million euros, the winger chose to join the Reds. An agreement was reached between the club and the player. Liverpool will activate their release clause estimated at 40 million euros. He will be the Reds’ first recruit this summer, Jérémy Jacquet having officially joined the club in January. Real Madrid, his former club, should receive 20 million euros thanks to a clause included in his contract.
