Liverpool have made just three signings so far ahead of the start of the Iraola era, bringing in centre-back Jeremy Jacquet, whose deal was agreed in January, winger Victor Munoz and Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo.
However, the Reds continue to be linked with a major move for Paris Saint-Germain and France winger Bradley Barcola.

They also recently saw an offer for Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh rejected. Liverpool will begin their new Premier League campaign away to Newcastle on Sunday.
Real Madrid forward Endrick is attracting interest from Liverpool. Endrick joined Real Madrid from Brazilian club Palmeiras in 2024 after a £51m deal was agreed in 2022.
However, his opportunities were limited last season, and he spent the second half of the campaign on loan at Ligue 1 side Lyon.
The Reds are poised to make a move for Endrick, according to sources in Brazil. South American football expert Tim Vickery told talkSPORT that a substantial bid from the Reds for the 20-year-old striker is being mooted.
Vickery said on Hawksbee and Jacobs: “Well, it’s interesting that we’ve just been hearing about the victory of the lost king – probably everyone paying tribute to Kevin Keegan this weekend at Liverpool, and the loss of Mo Salah.
“Is Endrick going to be an attempt at the found king? Well, we shall see. I have my doubts. Not least because – and this is getting a lot of traction in Brazil at the moment…– Liverpool are apparently preparing an offer – big-money offer – but the fee that’s being reported that Liverpool want to offer is less than Real Madrid for him a couple of years ago.
“Now, he hasn’t been a failure at all, and the problem with Real Madrid is he went to a club that didn’t need him – but his numbers even with Real Madrid aren’t bad.
“And he did very well on loan with Lyon, so there’s no way that he can be worth less than he was as an 18-year-old when Real Madrid bought him. So, that is, I think, problem number one.
“How high are Liverpool prepared to go? And would Real Madrid want to sell him to a competitor in the Champions League?”
He continued: “One possible problem is, you know who one of his idols is? This is going to shock you; oh, I’m looking forward to this.
“Endrick, 20 years of age, one of his idols is… Ta-da! Bobby Charlton. Yes, yes, Bobby Charlton. You remember he scored a goal for Brazil. He scored the winner against England at Wembley just over two years ago…and he was saying, talking to Brazilian media afterwards, ‘I’m delighted to have scored a goal in the place where, the very stadium where Bobby Charlton [starred for England and Man United]. Is that going to go down well with the Kop and the Annie [Anfield] Road faithful?”
