With less than a week to go until the end of the month, Liverpool’s transfer window looks set to come to a quiet close.Nothing seems to be happening at Anfield, despite rumors that defenders are particularly involved.
That’s fair enough as the Reds have performed well in all four competitions.However, according to the Swedish newspaper Fotboll Direkt, Liverpool still has potential. Rousing The Kop is the only Liverpool in B.C.
After Harken revealed they were in talks to sign 18-year-old Momodu Sonko, they said those talks were still ongoing.With the Swedish season now suspended, Sonko is preparing for pre-season at Haken. However, according to Football Direct, his contract is still being negotiated with
Liverpool.Gothenburg have so far reportedly rejected a bid of around £3.4m for Sonko. There are still “four or five” clubs in the running, Liverpool or not. Along with the Reds, Bologna are the only teams named.
Due to stiff competition for teenagers, Haken owns the price. The current bid for Sonko is said to be around £4.5m, but the Swedish club are asking for more. Haken’s current sales record is reported to be £3.9m and Sonko will surely break that record once he is sold.If Liverpool want to do business on the final day of the transfer window, this could be it.
If Sonko is drafted, he will likely return to Harken before the summer.As a result, it’s safe to say that Liverpool won’t be adding any reinforcements to their first-team squad this month, unless something extremely unlikely happens. However, it’s always good to hear that Manchester United are keeping a close eye on the future.
Sonko has been one of the standout young players in Europe over the past year. The winger has already earned a call-up to the Swedish national team and his future looks bright. Liverpool have been good at signing young players recently, so why hasn’t the same happened at Anfield? It is true that there are others on Merseyside standing in his way.
Big things are still expected from Ben Doak and Kaide Gordon, while Trent Cone-Doherty is also making waves. However, if Liverpool are willing to pay more than €4.5 million for Sonko, it would be a clear sign of their feelings. If they did not see Sonko’s future at the club, they would not have reduced such a fee.
For now, we’ll just have to wait and see how this plays out. Liverpool seem to be in a rush to make their move, so there could be a move in the coming days.
