According to Tuttomercato, Liverpool are monitoring Neil El Aynaoui and are one of the new English clubs interested in the player. The report also states that Roma have indicated to potential buyers that 30 million euros may not be a sufficient fee for them to sell Neil El Aynaoui.

Liverpool are monitoring Roma midfielder Neil El Aynaoui as Andoni Iraola seeks to reshape the squad he inherited at Anfield. According to TEAMtalk, Neil El Aynaoui has become a midfielder who has been the subject of much discussion this summer following a series of impressive performances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. His performances against Brazil and the Netherlands have particularly attracted attention, and Premier League clubs are now exploring if Roma could be persuaded to sell. Liverpool are one of several English clubs that have been informed of the player’s availability. TEAMtalk states that intermediaries have spoken with Liverpool regarding a potential move. Football Italia has also reported that his performance at the World Cup has attracted the interest of Liverpool. Roma are not expected to sell the player easily, because Neil El Aynaoui is considered a player with high potential. Any Premier League club would be required to make a lucrative offer to persuade the Italian club to sell.

TEAMtalk reported that intermediaries have discussed the availability of Roma's Moroccan and French midfielder, Neil El Aynaoui, with several Premier League clubs, which include Liverpool and Manchester United. Chelsea, Aston Villa, Brighton, Bournemouth, Newcastle United, and Sunderland are also among the English teams that were contacted. Everton is also monitoring developments. The 25-year-old moved to Roma from Lens last summer. His limited starting opportunities have reportedly led other clubs to believe they could provide him with a more significant role. The player's representatives believe a transfer is possible this summer if Roma receives a suitable proposal. It is expected that the Italian club's position will be tested by this growing interest. This follows inquiries made by Barcelona and Real Madrid earlier in the year. Former Marseille sporting director Mehdi Benatia, in comments to La Gazzetta dello Sport, stated that he had previously tried to sign El Aynaoui but the player's cost was too high. Benatia also questioned why El Aynaoui had not received more playing time at Roma. El Aynaoui's contract with the club is valid until June 2030.
