De Bruyne is difficult to enter the Red Army, Flynnon is favored

Turning Net, May 9, "The Athletic" reporter David Oinstein recently revealed the news of Liverpool's signings this summer. He made it clear that even if De Bruyne had a good personal relationship with Reds players such as Van Dijk, Liverpool had no intention of attracting him to his post after his contract expired this summer, and the possibility of introducing the midfield superstar was slim.

Speaking of Liverpool's transfer budget, Oinstein pointed out that although the team has room for funding this summer, the statement of "war readiness fund" is not accurate. Liverpool has always adhered to a rational signing strategy, focusing on the quality of signing rather than blindly spending money. Considering the renewal expenses of Salah and Van Dijk, as well as the potential renewal needs of Konath, the club prefers to operate cautiously to ensure that every transaction is worth the money. In terms of signing targets, the left-back has become a key reinforcement position. Bournemouth's Kolkerz is a popular candidate, but Liverpool is also inspecting other alternative players simultaneously. The right-back position is relatively low due to the presence of Connor Bradley and Joe Gomez. It is worth noting that Leverkusen's Flynnpool has entered Liverpool's vision. As a versatile player who can play in multiple positions, Flynn Ponte's 35 million euro termination fee is quite cost-effective, which is in line with Liverpool's rational signing style and is expected to become a key puzzle for strengthening the Reds' lineup.
