Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is attracting a lot of transfer interest

Euro 2024 has complicated the start of the summer transfer window for Liverpool, who may have to bide their time before approaching players.

The tournament began on the same day the window opened – June 14 – and will run until July 14, making business harder to do for the elite players who will still be focused on their national team for the next few weeks. Nevertheless, Arne Slot is now in position as Reds boss and he is plotting the path ahead.

As Mirror Football explained this week, it is expected to be a case of continuity, rather than revolution at Anfield, despite the change in regime. However, new sporting director Richard Hughes is always open to the possibility of signings – either as replacements for existing players, or if a bargain becomes available.

With that in mind, here are the latest rumours from the world of Liverpool, involving both possible ins and outs.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia says he will decide on his future after Euro 2024 because he is fully focused on Georgia’s knockout game against Spain. Napoli star Kvaratskhelia scored in Georgia’s remarkable win over Portugal which earned the lowest-ranked side in the competition a last-16 match against heavyweights Spain on Sunday evening.

But away from the tournament there is much speculation about his future, with his agent and his father both offering their opinions on the subject. Liverpool are among the sides reportedly interested in his services, but Napoli have put their foot down, releasing a testy statement and now the 23-year-old winger has spoken out.

“I respect [new Napoli boss Antonio] Conte, he’s one of the best managers,” he said. “I respect also Napoli, I love Napoli. I will decide my future after the Euros. Now I’m focused on the game vs Spain.”

Juventus are preparing to table a bid for Nice midfielder – and former Liverpool target – Khephren Thuram after agreeing an £11million deal to sell striker Moise Kean to Fiorentina.

Tuttosport reports that Juve are ready to reinvest the funds from Everton flop Kean’s exit to sign 23-year-old Thuram, who’s the brother of Inter forward Marcus. The France youth international has entered the final 12 months of his contract and Nice would be willing to sell.

Thuram, who’s also the son of French legend Lilian, was strongly linked with a move to Liverpool last summer as they searched for a deep-lying midfielder. He ended up staying put, but is now set to get his big move.

Do you know the name Anderson Arroyo? Well, if you answered no, you’re not alone, but he is a Liverpool player, albeit not for much longer. The Colombian defender joined the Reds in 2018, but hasn’t made a single appearance for the club.
