Liverpool fans have continue to look forward to their club to make their move in the transfer window this summer as anticipation intensifies as the pre-season approaches.
Arne Slot is expected to report the first group of his players back to training this week while the international players will be returning later and there may also be many new faces.
Even though there has not been the arrival of new players yet, there are numerous transfers that the fans of Liverpool have associated with the team.
Some of the most current sources show that discussions regarding a potential transfer for Anthony Gordon stopped last week.
On the other hand, Liverpool starts preparing for the possible negotiations with Joshua Kimmich, as CaughtOffside writes.
However, they are threatened by competition from Manchester United and possibly Manchester City, who are also believed to be interested in the German international.
Notably, Liverpool considers Kimmich as the first-choice target again because Juventus is said to be ahead in the race to sign Atalanta’s Teun Koopmeiners.
The same source also indicates that Kimmich is also linked with Spanish giants Real Madrid.
If Kimmich would be on the market, Liverpool view it as a chance for them to pursue and try to sign him.
However, Kimmich does not fully address the absence in a long-term defensive midfielder, since he is just two years younger than Wataru Endo.

However, if Liverpool sees Stefan Bajcetic as a potential candidate to fill in for the defensive midfield position in the future, then Kimmich can be seen as an ideal short-term solution.
The 31 year old German playmaker can offer the serenity needed and can provide an instant upgrade to the team until the youth products are properly developed.
Liverpool seems to have entered the summer transfer window quietly for several reasons, including better planning and effective bargaining strategies.
The club also find it crucial to make the correct moves in terms of signing of players before a new season.
Slot’s season as coach will be important and if he is able to capture some key players such as Kimmich he will had an added advantage over the other teams.
With the Anfield transfer scenario in mind, supporters still believe that Liverpool knows the right strategies to improve their team.
The possible incorporations of Kimmich, as well as other targets, can raise hope for the Reds to contend at the elite level.
