Here’s our roundup of all the latest Liverpool transfer news on Sunday August 18, 2024 as Martin Zubimendi makes a major decision on his future.
Joe Gomez could leave Liverpool this month
Joe Gomez is not in the Liverpool squad to face Ipswich Town on Saturday in their Premier League opener. The defender is considering his future.
The Times reports that Joe Gomez did not travel with the Liverpool squad to face Ipswich Town on Saturday. The fixture will be Arne Slot’s first competitive game as the Reds’ head coach after taking over from Jurgen Klopp in the summer.
This comes months after Anfield Watch exclusively revealed that Gomez could leaveLiverpool this summer. He was then offered to Newcastle United as part of a deal that would have seen Anthony Gordon come the other way.
That deal collapsed but it was made clear that the defender was disposable this summer. He’s down the pecking order – and could now decide to move away.

Zubimendi nears major career decision
Liverpool’s major summer transfer target is now on the brink of signing a contract after a highly publicised chase from the Reds. Martin Zubimendi is staying put.
Diario Vasco reports that Martin Zubimendi is very close to signing his new contract with Real Sociedad. The player hasn’t actually committed his future to the Basque club but is expected to do so imminently.
This has been one of the biggest stories in football, of course. Zubimendi was the subject of intense interest from Liverpool, who had the impression that he was finally willing to leave Sociedad after years of rejecting other clubs.
Ruben Amorim on Liverpool interest in Goncalo Inacio
Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim has admitted that ‘everything is possible’ regarding Liverpool’s reported interest in star defender Goncalo Inacio.
Liverpool have been consistently linked with a move for the 22-year-old over the past 18 months and speculation persists this summer with the Reds reportedly keen to reinforce their defence.
The left-footed centre-back is one of the most promising young talents in European football and he was included in the Portugal squad for Euro 2024 after helping Sporting to the Primeira Liga title last term.
Reds follow Norwegian teenager
It’s a massive summer for Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards.
Liverpool have been following 18 year old midfielder Jens Hjero-Dahl. HITC has reported that the Reds have been scouting the Norwegian midfielder alongside several other clubs.
Hjerto-Dahl has already made an impressive 44 appearances for Tromso at first-team level and has been one of the brightest young prospects in Norwegian football.
Capable of playing both as a holding midfielder and as a no.8, Hjerto-Dahl stands at a towering height of 1.93 metres, which would make him one of the tallest players in Liverpool’s first team squad.
