A significant transfer target, who will be available on a free transfer in the summer, has apparently drawn a lot of interest from Liverpool. Federico Chiesa, a winger, joined from Juventus for £12.7 million, the sole permanent move made by new Reds boss Arne Slot during the summer. Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili was also acquired by Liverpool, but he will return to Anfield next summer after spending the current campaign on loan at the Spanish team.
The contract issues facing the club’s senior management include the summer expiration of contracts for Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold. There is uncertainty surrounding the futures of Alexander-Arnold and Salah, despite claims that the Reds are nearing an agreement with club captain Van Dijk. According to reports, Liverpool is now showing a “strong interest” in acquiring another attacker.
Liverpool eyeing for £37m player who will be available on free transfer
Inter Milan is reportedly interested in signing Lille striker Jonathan David, whose contract, like that of the three players mentioned above, expires in the summer of 2025, according to InterLive.it (via Sport Witness). The Canada international star, who can also play wide if needed, is reportedly attracting interest from Juventus and Liverpool.
Transfermarkt values David at £37 million, even though the five-year contract he signed when he first joined Lille in 2020 is about to expire. Given the circumstances, Lille might have to sell the 24-year-old in January for a reduced price, but David has the option to thwart those plans by agreeing to a pre-contract with another team.
