22 May 2025Updated 05:26, 22 May 2025 Liverpool are set for a busy summer in the transfer market as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of next season's Premier League title

defence. The Reds made just one signing last summer, with Federico Chiesa joining from Juventus in a cut-price deal. However, the winger has made just four starts across all competitions due

to fitness issues. Liverpool are set to welcome goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili to Anfield after agreeing a deal to sign him from Valencia last summer, while Jeremie Frimpong is on the

verge of completing a move from Bayer Leverkusen. Frimpong is set to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is expected to join Real Madrid after announcing he will be leaving Liverpool when

his contract expires at the end of the season, and plenty more incomings and outgoings are expected. Here, Mirror Football takes a look at some of the latest transfer news and rumours coming

Julian Alvarez, who has scored 29 goals in all competitions since joining the club last summer. LIVERPOOL ENTER CHERKI RACE According to reports in France, Liverpool are among a host of

clubs who are eyeing a move for Lyon winger Rayan Cherki this summer. Cherki is understood to have a €22.5million (£19m) release clause in his contract and it is claimed that Liverpool,

Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan are all weighing up a summer swoop for the 21-year-old. And Cherki has already hinted that he may

be on the move with comments he made after Lyon's final league game of the season. He said: "Thanks to OL, the coach, the staff, the president, my teammates and all people at the

club." FRANK DELIVERS MBEUMO UPDATE Brentford boss Thomas Frank has once again refused to rule out selling Bryan Mbeumo this summer, with Liverpool among the clubs reportedly interested

in the forward. "Let's see," Frank told Sky Sports when asked if Mbeumo will still be at the club next season. "We all love him. I watch him every day, he comes in with

a big smile, trains with a big smile. He loves to be a Brentford player but let's see. He's been fantastic. "For me, it's been a privilege to work with him for six years

and see his development from a teenager, I think he was 19 when he came or a young man, to a more grown-up man in many ways. And that personal development I think is equally as

important." Article continues below _Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content. We also treat our community members to special offers,
