The latest transfer rumours surrounding Liverpool include a fresh link with a famous footballing name in Jobe Bellingham. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 42 possible arrivals and 10 potential exits, with the hottest storyline right now concerning Bradley Barcola. Below are the latest updates on some of the most important transfer rumours.

Emiliano Martínez

Emiliano Martínez transfer card On Monday, it was reported that Liverpool are considering Aston Villa's 33-year-old Argentine goalkeeper, Emiliano Martínez, as a potential replacement for Alisson, who is nearing a transfer to Juventus. According to Team Talk, a potential move for Martínez is becoming a more significant possibility, with the Reds reportedly having been made aware that he could be available. He is viewed as a serious option if Alisson departs, with the club valuing his leadership and experience. Graeme Bailey also reported on Monday that Liverpool are interested in a 2026 summer deal, believing Martínez would be an excellent signing. Aston Villa is aware of the growing interest and knows a substantial offer could lead to discussions this summer, although the club is not actively seeking to sell him.

Lucas Chevalier

According to TuttoJuve on Wednesday, Liverpool are targeting a move for Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier. The report states that Chevalier is available for transfer and that Liverpool’s scouting department is eager to offer him a move to the Premier League. On Friday, ESPN had reported that the 24-year-old French goalkeeper is on a shortlist of targets to potentially replace Alisson, with Liverpool believing they could take advantage of his situation at PSG.

Jobe Bellingham

An update from Team Talk on Wednesday noted that Liverpool are continuing to monitor the progress of 20-year-old English midfielder Jobe Bellingham at Borussia Dortmund. The report adds that several other clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain, are also monitoring him. However, Bellingham is understood to be happy in Germany and is not actively seeking a move, and Dortmund considers him a key part of their future, suggesting any attempt to sign him this summer would be difficult.

Yan Diomande

On Monday, it was reported that Liverpool are determined to sign Yan Diomande in the summer transfer window, viewing the RB Leipzig winger as their primary target to replace Mohamed Salah. The club has reportedly reaffirmed its commitment to the player, with a plan to reach an agreement with his agents before the 2026 World Cup finals and then begin discussions with Leipzig. According to sources, the club would be willing to meet the Bundesliga club’s €100 million asking price. Fraser Fletcher has also reported that Liverpool prefer Diomande over Bradley Barcola.

Lutsharel Geertruida

According to Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg on Tuesday, Lutsharel Geertruida will not be staying at Sunderland after the club declined to activate a €23 million purchase option. Geertruida is expected to return to Leipzig before a likely permanent departure, and talks with Liverpool could now resume. The report notes that the player was close to joining in January after Arne Slot had told the club to sign him and personal terms were agreed, but the move was not completed. Liverpool is now reportedly leading five clubs in the effort to sign him.

Jarrod Bowen

On Tuesday, it was reported that Liverpool have registered strong interest in signing Jarrod Bowen. According to sources, he could be permitted to leave West Ham this summer for a fee of approximately £60 million, even if the club remains in the Premier League. Liverpool's recruitment team reportedly views him as an ideal solution to add Premier League quality as they seek a successor to Mohamed Salah. The Daily Mail also reported on Tuesday that Liverpool are expected to compete with Everton and Newcastle United for his signature if West Ham are relegated.

Anthony Gordon

According to Team Talk on Tuesday, talk of a move to Liverpool for Newcastle's Anthony Gordon has decreased. This followed a report from Graeme Bailey on Friday, which stated that Liverpool are facing competition from Paris Saint-Germain for the winger. That report noted that Liverpool are one of the clubs interested in a 2026 summer deal for Gordon, who is likely to leave Newcastle at the end of the season.
