00:00Looking at Liverpool's transfers this summer, we've discussed a few times, maybe some recent names who have come in might be on their way out.
00:10What's the latest? Can you tell us any rumours or updates at this stage?
00:14It's an interesting one with Liverpool's transfer window, because they will do a little bit of business. I think they'll be looking to get in.
00:22It's a matter of which centre-back, what sort of type do they want to get in.
00:28Defensive midfielder, maybe, is one they'll be looking at, because Wataru Enzo was brought in last summer, but he's 31.
00:36You always come across a little bit of a stopgap, because he's still got several years ahead of him at Liverpool, but not the absolute long-term solution.
00:46Atalanta's Edson is one player who's been linked with Liverpool. He's had a really good season, played against Liverpool in the Europa League on their way to winning the trophy.
00:57There may be an additional forward, potentially, and maybe Mo Salah understudy.
01:05I think Johan Bachayoko of PSV is one player who's been linked in terms of outgoings.
01:12There haven't been too many. Recently, Joe Gomez is one that apparently Bayern Munich are after in some company.
01:19It's the luck of him, but could Liverpool be afforded to lose him?
01:24Well, they need to raise funds. Maybe you're looking at him thinking, well, we've got two left-backs, we've got two right-backs.
01:31We've got Van Dijk and Artie Kwan, so we might bring another centre-back.
01:36If you're looking at, could we raise funds from him?
01:39So, that's an interesting one.
01:41Kovin Kelleher, the back-up goalkeeper.
01:43Trent Alexander-Arnold's passing, he would certainly give you those attributes, and much could come down to slots for recruiters as well.
01:50He's been linked with the right-back from Feyenoord.
01:54If he came in, then you would certainly have to say that Trent Alexander-Arnold is in mind for a midfield role,
02:00because why would you bring him in when you've got Alexander-Arnold?
02:03You've got Conor Bradley there as well.
02:05Luis Diaz has put paid to any speculation.
02:08There's been a lot of rumours around Barcelona and PSG sifting around him,
02:12but he's come out on Columbia duty and said, look, I'm happy at Liverpool, it's a great club.
02:18Sometimes, when players go on international duty, they can forget that things get picked up at this end of the media,
02:24and what they say in the national countries.
02:28They can say, look, it's always been a dream for Barcelona, but now he's nailed his cul-de-sac,
02:34and maybe we'll try and nail down Luis Diaz to a new deal.
02:39I think it'll be busy enough for Liverpool in terms of the business that they conduct,
02:45and maybe last summer was a little bit of an anomaly when they brought four in,
02:50a few players went out, a couple of unexpected players left the club,
02:54hence the name Fabinho, but I think it'll be a few players in, a few out.
