Liverpool under new coach Andoni Iraola plans summer transfers and keeps left‑back Kostas Tsimikas

Andoni Iraola has taken charge as Liverpool’s head coach and immediately begun reshaping the squad. With Andy Robertson moving to Tottenham and Ibrahima Konaté set to leave for Real Madrid, the club is looking to reinforce the defense and attack. The manager is expected to retain left‑back Kostas Tsimikas for another season, providing a familiar option after his loan spell at Roma.

Iraola’s transfer targets include Bournemouth striker Eli Junior Kroupi, right‑winger Rayan, Sporting CP centre‑back Gonçalo Inácio and former Liverpool forward Darwin Núñez, who is available on a free transfer after terminating his contract with Al‑Hilal. Liverpool also hold a £55 million buy‑back clause on former defender Jarell Quansah, offering a potential low‑cost defensive solution. The club’s recent £450 million spending spree last season saw additions such as Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike, but the team fell short of repeating its title‑winning form, prompting the new manager to act swiftly in the market.
