Brentford in pole position to sign Liverpool’s Harry Wilson

Liverpool attacker Harry Wilson is expected to leave the club this summer and Brentford are amongst several sides interested in signing him.

The Welshman had a promising spell on loan at Cardiff City last season, and Liverpool are hoping to raise around £15 million from his sale.

After several loan spells away from the club, Wilson will be offloaded permanently this summer as he has failed to break into the senior team on a regular basis.

Brentford, after securing promotion to the top-flight last season, are looking to add more experience and depth to their attack and are in pole position to sign Wilson.

Wilson played a part for Wales at Euro 2020, and has a contract with Liverpool that runs until 2023.

Liverpool’s interest in Domenico Berardi is serious

Liverpool are looking to strengthen their squad and add more freshness to their attack this summer, and have put Domenico Berardi on their radar.

The 26-year old played a key role for Italy as they won Euro 2020 on Sunday, and will be sold by Sassuolo for a fee of £35 million or more.

Although Liverpool have a tight budget this summer, £35 million is a decent fee for Berardi, who at 26 would be a long-term addition to the club.

Liverpool relied heavily on Mohamed Salah’s goals last season, as the likes of Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino often flattered to deceive.

Berardi, on the other hand, managed 17 goals and seven assists for Sassuolo last season in Serie A.

Liverpool set to offer Alisson Becker a new deal

The Reds want to extend Alisson Becker’s stay at Anfield and are progressing well with their negotiations with the Brazilian and his representatives.

Alisson has been a key cog for the Reds since moving from AS Roma in 2018, and has a contract with Liverpool that runs until 2024.
