Liverpool midfield transfer interest

Entities: Neil El Aynaoui · Liverpool FC · Manchester United FC · AS Roma

Overview

In early July, Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola began scouting midfield upgrades after the squad’s under‑performance. The club was linked with Dutch youngster Kees Smit and started monitoring Morocco international Neil El Aynaoui, who had impressed at the World Cup while playing for AS Roma.

By late July, the focus narrowed to El Aynaoui. Roma announced plans to sell the 25‑year‑old before the July 31 deadline, setting a valuation of €35‑40 million. Liverpool intensified its scouting but had not lodged a formal bid, while Manchester United also expressed interest without making an offer. Negotiations remained pending, leaving the summer transfer window’s outcome for Liverpool’s midfield uncertain.
