Overview

• Unnamed agent‑industry sources told CaughtOffside that Liverpool feel confident about signing Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi on a free next summer, with claims personal terms were discussed, though this remains unconfirmed.
• Multiple reports link Liverpool with Bayern’s Michael Olise as a long‑term Salah replacement, with cited valuations ranging from about £87m to a speculative €150–160m at season’s end.
• New details on Florian Wirtz’s deal indicate an initial £100m plus up to £16m in add‑ons that would only be triggered by Liverpool winning either the Premier League or Champions League four times, with payments staggered over five years.
• Wirtz’s league start has drawn scrutiny after three games without a goal or assist, as Gary Neville and Rio Ferdinand advised the £116m signing to slow his movement to better find space.
• Bayern’s post‑Wirtz strategy included signing Luis Díaz from Liverpool for roughly €75m, with early returns of three goals and two assists, and a reported prior verbal agreement with Malick Fofana as a contingency.
