Liverpool transfer state of play as one deal close but two more slipping away - Liverpool Echo
Robertson has signed for Tottenham Hotspur while Konate has gone to Real Madrid, both on free transfers. Salah is being linked with a move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal. Curtis Jones has been wanted by Inter Milan, but the Italians are unwilling to come close to Liverpool's asking price in excess of £30m for the 25-year-old, who is in the last 12 months of his contract. Nottingham Forest are keen but Jones is understood to be reluctant to move to the City Ground. With Alisson Becker having committed to Liverpool for the season, there have been claims from Italy that Giorgi Mamardashvili has been offered by his representatives to several Serie A clubs for a potential season-long loan. Joe Gomez cast doubt over his long-term future with recent comments on his status at Liverpool, while Federico Chiesa has been linked with a return to Italy but is expected to first attempt to impress new boss Iraola. Harvey Elliott is similarly likely to feature in early pre-season but is another who could leave if the right offer is forthcoming. Talk over a possible departure for Alexis Mac Allister has cooled, with long-term suitors Real Madrid having signed Bernando Silva and now looking at Enzo Fernandez of Chelsea. Luca Stephenson spent the last two seasons on loan in Scotland with Dundee United but is now on the verge of signing for Championship side Bolton Wanderers. And while it's a little early to determine which players could be released on loan, Kieran Morrison, who signed a new contract last month, is likely to be among them.
