Liverpool Football Club is facing an unprecedented transfer storm in the upcoming transfer window deadline day. The new sporting director Richard Hughes is under immense pressure as the fans have expressed strong concern and dissatisfaction over the lack of fresh blood being brought into the team. Despite the transfer team's best efforts, they have so far failed to bring in any substantial new recruits for the new manager, making the Reds' summer transfer plans look bleak.
However, Liverpool are not without action in these tight times. They are keeping a close eye on Georgian international goalkeeper Mamardashvili and are expected to make a breakthrough in the battle for the goalkeeper. Valencia have put a €40 million price tag on him, while Liverpool plan to formalize the deal at the end of the season to make Mamardashvili a member of the Anfield squad.
Meanwhile, Liverpool's transfer strategy appears to be quite complicated. They had expressed interest in Crystal Palace center-back Gueye, but as rumors of Gueye's move to Newcastle United continue to swirl, the Reds' stance does not seem to have changed significantly. In addition, the Reds had also dropped a bid for Lille defender Jolo this summer, instead seeing him join Manchester United, further adding to the team's uncertainty at the back.
Liverpool are also facing a number of options when it comes to players leaving the club. Joe Gomez's future remains up in the air, with several clubs considering making offers for him. Players such as Van den Berg, Phillips and Taylor Morton are also attracting attention from a number of clubs, and their departures would bring in some transfer revenue for the Reds.
A number of youngsters from Liverpool's youth academy are also on the verge of a turning point in their fortunes. Youngsters such as Bobby Clarke, Ben Doak and Bajcetich are all likely to find new homes in the transfer market, while players such as Harvey Davies, Norris and Cornes could gain more experience in the game by going out on loan.
In this transfer turmoil, every step of Liverpool seems crucial. They need to make wise decisions in the limited time to ensure the team remains competitive in the new season. At the same time, they also need to provide enough stage and development space for their youth players to produce more future superstars.
