Liverpool's transfer plans continue to generate headlines, with the latest incoming link concerning Dinamo Tbilisi winger Tornike Kvaratskhelia. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 17 possible arrivals and 10 potential exits. The items below represent the latest news on the most important of these transfer rumours, though the hottest storyline right now is about Bradley Barcola.
Tornike Kvaratskhelia
On Tuesday, it was reported that Liverpool have made contact regarding a potential move for Dinamo Tbilisi winger Tornike Kvaratskhelia, but they are not the only Premier League club interested. Manchester City, Manchester United, Brighton, and Aston Villa have also made inquiries, while Chelsea and Tottenham are leading the interest from English clubs. However, Bayern Munich have reportedly emerged as the leading candidates to sign the 16-year-old, who trained with the German club earlier this summer. Due to rules governing international transfers of minors, any English team hoping to sign Kvaratskhelia will have to wait until he is 18 in 2028. The competition to sign him is expected to develop over the next two years rather than leading to an immediate transfer. The Georgian youth international, who has a current Transfermarkt market value of €500k, has a contract that runs until June 2028. He has made 7 appearances in the Erovnuli Liga in the 2025/2026 season and has earned 7 caps for the Georgia U17 team, scoring 1 goal.
Lamine Camara
Liverpool are reportedly positioning themselves for a future move for Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara after his deadline-day switch to Chelsea collapsed, according to the latest update on Monday. Ben Jacobs, writing for GiveMeSport, reported that Liverpool contacted both Camara’s representatives and Monaco before the deadline to underline their long-term interest. According to Jacobs, senior Liverpool figures made a series of calls, including on deadline day, to inform Camara he was a significant consideration for them for 2027 if he did not join Chelsea. Liverpool never intended to add another midfielder following the departure of Curtis Jones to Inter and would only have bid for Camara over the summer if Alexis Mac Allister had departed. Camara still has an ambition to move to the Premier League, and leaving Monaco in January is not discounted.
Ismaïla Sarr
On Saturday, it was reported that Liverpool made a verbal offer of just under £40m for Ismaila Sarr, which was rejected by Crystal Palace. It is understood that Liverpool never reached the £50m sum for Sarr that other outlets have claimed was proposed. According to Football Insider, Liverpool will consider another attempt to sign the winger in January. Crystal Palace would want over £50m to sell the Senegal international, a price that could rise in January. Palace boss Pierre Sage said Sarr needs to recover because he is and always was injured, adding that he is still their player and they are happy with that. Sage also noted that Sarr has to digest the disappointment of the failed transfer. In a statement, Sarr's agent insisted that African players deserve respect.
Yankuba Minteh
According to a Saturday report from Football Insider, Liverpool are interested in signing Brighton attacker Yankuba Minteh in January and are expected to return for him in the coming months. Pete O’Rourke explained that Liverpool made a couple of bids for the player that were rejected. There have been rumours that Liverpool have already failed to secure the 22-year-old despite substantial offers. The player is currently injured but is expected to return to action in the coming months.
Tom Atcheson
There is widespread interest from several Premier League clubs in Tom Atcheson, a Northern Irish centre-back for Blackburn Rovers, according to a Monday report from Team Talk. Liverpool made an enquiry for the defender before the transfer deadline, joining a number of other interested Premier League clubs. It is understood that Manchester City, Newcastle United, Sunderland, and Crystal Palace also made enquiries for the 19-year-old. Chelsea also reportedly made an approach, which was resisted by Blackburn as the club was determined to keep their prospect. Rovers rejected multiple approaches before the deadline after securing the player with a new contract. It is understood that Liverpool and Manchester City have retained their interest in Atcheson, while it has previously been reported that Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are monitoring the teenager.
Josip Stanišić
On Wednesday, it was reported that Liverpool is closely following 26-year-old Croatian international Josip Stanišić. The club faces competition, as other major clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United are also monitoring the defender, with PSG and Real Madrid also interested. The English clubs are currently the most interested, and this interest presently consists of detailed scouting. Liverpool's scouting department considers Stanišić a significant addition, especially at the right-back position, for his tactical flexibility and stability under pressure. Intermediaries have already established contacts with Premier League officials. Bayern Munich's management does not want to sell Stanišić for a low price, as they view him as an important part of the club's long-term vision. Information from Bayern suggests that offers would need to be between 55 and 65 million euros, and the club would also seek performance-related bonuses and a significant percentage of any future resale.
Pedro Neto
There was intense speculation about Pedro Neto in the final days of the summer window, and Liverpool was interested in him, according to a report on Sunday. Chelsea's asking price of more than €100 million deterred his suitors.
