Here is a roundup of the top Liverpool news, gossip and transfer latest from icfootballnews featuring the likes of Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo and Morgan Rodgers that you may have missed…
Liverpool may decide to sell Dutch winger Cody Gakpo this summer if the club can identify a suitable replacement, according to according to the SUN, as reports suggest suggests the Reds could be open to letting the 26‑year‑old depart.
Gakpo, who joined LIVERPOOL from PSV Eindhoven in 2022 for a reported £40 million, has been a regular feature in Slot’s side this season but has drawn mixed reactions from supporters.
While the former PSV man has shown flashes of quality and contributed across competitions, he has not consistently replicated the high‑impact output expected on the left wing, particularly since Luis Díaz’s departure last summer.
Sources indicate that *LIVERPOOL*’s hierarchy are prepared to entertain offers for Gakpo — but only if they can bring in a “top transfer target” capable of improving the attacking unit. The club’s recruitment team is reportedly tracking multiple wide options, with names such as RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande linked as potential long‑term successors.
Arne Slot’s Stance: Will He Let Gakpo Leave?
Despite the growing speculation, manager Arne Slot appears to retain faith in Gakpo’s abilities. The Dutch forward has been selected regularly this season, suggesting Slot still values the influence he can have on the pitch.
Reports stress that it would likely take the arrival of a high‑calibre replacement to “open the door” for Gakpo’s exit — underlining that Slot’s trust in his compatriot has thus far tempered calls for an immediate sale.
Contractually, Gakpo remains tied to LIVERPOOL until 2030, and there are no indications that he is pushing for a move. However, the club’s ambition to refresh its attacking options could mean that even a key squad member like Gakpo finds himself part of negotiations if the right deal emerges.
Where Could Gakpo End Up?
Interest from Bayern Munich has been mooted in recent days, with German outlets reporting that the Bundesliga giants are weighing up a potential £65 million approach as they seek to bolster their own wide corps. Such a move would appeal to Gakpo’s profile and provide a fresh challenge in a top European league.
Other potential suitors could arise from the Premier League or La Liga, where his experience at the top level would be highly valued. Clubs seeking a winger with strong technical ability and the capacity to play across the frontline might view Gakpo as a smart addition, especially at a fee LIVERPOOL would expect to recoup a profit on.
Gakpo’s future seems contingent on Slot and the club identifying alternatives capable of maintaining — or enhancing — *LIVERPOOL*’s attacking threat. If they do, a significant summer exit for the Dutchman cannot be ruled out.
RODGERS OPEN TO MOVE
Aston Villa midfielder and Liverpool target Morgan Rogers is reportedly open to leaving Villa Park this summer, with several of England’s top-flight clubs lining up to secure his signature, .
Morgan Rogers, the 23‑year‑old attacking midfielder for Aston Villa, is reportedly open to leaving Villa Park this summer amid interest from several of England’s leading Premier League clubs, according to a href=”https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/38705371/morgan-rogers-aston-villa-chelsea-liverpool-arsenal-man-utd/” target=”_blank”>The Sun and multiple transfer outlets.
Rogers, who signed a six‑year contract with Aston Villa in November 2025, has enjoyed a breakout campaign, contributing double‑figure goal involvements in league and European competition. Reports suggest he is keen to join a club regularly competing for major honours — a factor that could influence his decision to move on despite his long‑term deal.
Premier League giants LIVERPOOL, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United are all said to be monitoring the situation, with Villa valuing Rogers at well over £80 million — potentially exceeding the club’s previous record sale. Aston Villa and Rogers are reportedly open to a summer exit if the right offer arrives, particularly given the club’s financial considerations.
Why Liverpool Are Very Interested
Liverpool’s interest in Rogers aligns with the club’s strategic need to refresh its attacking options. With Mohamed Salah’s confirmed exit and Arne Slot’s side seeking to reinvigorate their forward line, Rogers represents a versatile attacking midfielder or wide option capable of filling multiple roles in the final third.
Rogers’s profile — a dynamic England international with creativity, pace, and finishing ability — matches Liverpool’s need for a player who can contribute goals and assists from advanced midfield positions.
At 23, he also offers a blend of Premier League experience and long‑term potential, making him an attractive option as LIVERPOOL transition into a new era post‑Salah.
A potential move would see the Reds invest significantly in domestic talent capable of competing at the top end of the Premier League and in European competition, while also boosting their English core — a key consideration for squad balance and homegrown quotas.
LIVERPOOL READY TO SELL MAC ALLISTER
Liverpool are reportedly preparing to sell midfielder Alexis Mac Allister this summer as part of a major squad overhaul following the confirmed departure of Mohamed Salah. UK media outlet the SUN claims the Argentina international will be made available for transfer at the end of the season amid a wide‑ranging reshuffle at Anfield.
The 27‑year‑old, who joined the Reds in 2023 and quickly became a key figure in midfield, has been linked with interest from Real Madrid and other top European clubs, with recent reports suggesting he has expressed a desire for a new challenge.
*LIVERPOOL*’s planned clear‑out could see several established first‑team players, including Cody Gakpo, Joe Gomez, and Federico Chiesa, put on the market as manager Arne Slot prepares for a transitional summer. The club’s decision comes amid growing scrutiny of squad balance and performance, and with several contracts approaching their final years.
Mac Allister’s exit, if confirmed, would mark the end of a significant chapter at Anfield. Since his arrival from Brighton, he has been a regular starter and contributed to Liverpool’s midfield stability — known for his energy, passing range, and tactical intelligence
Why This Decision Could Shock Liverpool Fans
Selling Mac Allister would be a surprising move for many LIVERPOOL supporters. Since arriving, he’s established himself not just as a starter but as a consistent performer in a team undergoing tactical upheaval. Losing a World Cup‑winning midfielder — still in his prime — suggests a deeper shift in strategy that goes beyond merely refreshing the squad.
Fans could view this as a signal that Liverpool are prioritising finances or long‑term restructuring over retaining established quality. It raises questions about continuity and ambition, especially with the club seeking to return to regular Champions League contention.
Such a high‑profile departure would underline just how dramatic this summer’s Liverpool rebuild could be.
