Sources cited by Football Insider state that Luca Stephenson has emerged as a top target for multiple Championship clubs alongside Rangers this summer. English Championship sides are now seen as the favourites to sign him, and there is a growing expectation that the Liverpool player will move to the Championship next season. There is significant interest in Stephenson from some English Championship clubs who are probably leading the effort to sign him. A number of clubs are ready to offer him a move away from Anfield. Football Insider reported on 1 May that Stephenson is ready to leave Liverpool to find a permanent destination when the window opens. The 22-year-old is keen to establish stability in his career and is considering a number of potential destinations. A move to England is now considered the most likely outcome for Stephenson.

Luca Stephenson is expected to earn Liverpool a significant transfer fee this summer, after an impressive two years at Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership. Dundee United boss Jim Goodwin believes that Stephenson has done so well under his guidance that the Tangerines are likely to be unable to afford a permanent transfer for the Liverpool player. Goodwin stated that his feeling is that Luca Stephenson wants to be somewhere permanently. Goodwin added that he would expect Stephenson to want stability and a chance to progress. Goodwin also said that Stephenson is under contract at Liverpool and that, given how well he has performed there, he thinks there would be a considerable transfer fee.
