Liverpool news: Contact made for £38m Brazilian as transfer update on World Cup ace received
Liverpool FC is actively pursuing a transfer for Brazilian midfielder Joao Gomes, valued at £38 million, following a slow start to their summer recruitment. The club is competing with Manchester United for the player's signature.
Why it matters
High-profile football transfers significantly impact team performance and represent major financial investments in the sports industry.
Andoni Iraola's first summer at the Liverpool helm has been relatively slow-moving thus far. However, that looks set to change as the Reds target a return to Premier League title contention this coming campaign. Liverpool have already made two substantial additions after Jeremy Jacquet completed his pre-agreed move to Merseyside. The £60million defender has been joined by the surprise signing of £34.5m winger Victor Munoz from Osasuna. And there's more business to be done, too, as Iraola looks to stamp his own mark on the squad.
