Liverpool boss Arne Slot is still desperate for the club to launch transfer bids in the final days of the summer window, sources have told Football Insider.
The Reds are the only Premier League club yet to sign a player in the summer transfer window, which closes on 30 August.
Slot’s side have seen a move for top target Martin Zubimendi fall through this month, with the midfielder choosing to remain at Real Sociedad.
The Dutchman is still keen to bring new additions to Anfield but sources say club chiefs won’t sanction any moves unless they improve the squad and provide value for money.
Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili is the most likely signing for Liverpool before the 30 August deadline, and an agreement is now close.
