On that note, let’s take a look at the latest Liverpool transfer news and rumors as on 19 June 2021:
Raheem Sterling linked with a return to Liverpool
Raheem Sterling left Liverpool for Manchester City in 2015, and has been a key player for the Sky Blues since.
However, the England international could return to Anfield, as per sports finance journalist Alex Miller.
Sterling left Liverpool in controversial circumstances as his agent Aidy Ward led a transfer to Manchester City. Ward was criticized later on for turning Sterling’s head, and he is no longer the England international’s agent.
As per Miller, Sterling’s chances of returning to Liverpool are more likely after Ward’s departure, but the fee will have to be right for a deal to materialize.
Liverpool are looking to add more bite to their attack, and Sterling would improve the quality and depth with his goal-scoring ability.
Mikel Oyarzabal’s release clause too steep for Liverpool
Mikel Oyarzabal’s impressive displays for Real Sociedad have attracted interest from Liverpool. but the reason the Reds haven’t opened talks is due to his high price tag.
Oyarzabal’s release clause stands at €65 million, which is currently outside Liverpool’s price range. The Reds want to strengthen their attack, but might have to sell some of their squad players to generate funds.
At 24, Oyarzabal would still provide good long-term value if Liverpool sign him, but his high release clause is likely to force Liverpool into considering alternatives.
