Liverpool transfer policy and squad stability

Overview

By mid-August 2026, Liverpool FC is navigating complex squad stability issues involving contract renewals and high-profile transfer interests. Following his return from the FIFA World Cup, Alexis Mac Allister has rejoined training, but his future remains a focal point. While Mac Allister’s camp has indicated that leaving the club was “never a consideration,” interest has been reported from Manchester City, Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur. Liverpool intends to open contract negotiations later this year to cement him as a central figure, though the club may reconsider its stance if a significant offer arises during a potential “midfield merry-go-round.”

In the attacking department, the club is monitoring Cody Gakpo’s potential move to Tottenham. If he departs, Liverpool may seek to sign two new wingers. Additionally, the club is exploring a move for Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain, though they remain hesitant to meet PSG’s reported £145m valuation.

Other personnel developments include the club prioritizing contract extensions for Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai, managing the potential free transfer of Alisson Becker to Juventus, and considering loan options for 19-year-old striker Keyrol Figueroa to aid his development. Manager Andoni Iraola continues to oversee squad preparations as the new season approaches.
