Liverpool tracks 23 potential Euro 2024 transfer targets. #anfield #liverpooltv #liverpoolplayer
During the summer, international football takes the spotlight, and Liverpool will have numerous reasons to closely follow Euro 2024. The Reds could potentially see up to 11 players representing their club in the tournament held in Germany. While Ben Doak had to withdraw due to injury, players like Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, Ibrahima Konate, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Andy Robertson are all expected to participate. Additionally, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Jarell Quansah, and Curtis Jones are among the Liverpool players included in England’s provisional 33-man squad, which will be trimmed to 26 later this week.
However, Liverpool's interest extends beyond their own players. With the upcoming transfer window, Arne Slot and Richard Hughes will have a plethora of options to consider. We have identified 23 names that could catch Liverpool's attention during Euro 2024.
Group A
Germany, as the host nation, will be the primary target for potential transfer targets for Liverpool, with two standout options.
Jamal Musiala could be primed for a remarkable tournament. With over 150 appearances for Bayern Munich at just 21 years old, he is expected to be a key midfielder under Julian Nagelsmann.
Florian Wirtz has enjoyed an exceptional season with Bayer Leverkusen, and while a transfer seems unlikely now, he will undoubtedly attract plenty of attention.
Meanwhile, Leroy Sane has been previously mentioned as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah. At 28, he may be slightly older than Liverpool's usual target age range, but he remains a player worth monitoring.
Group B
Spain presents a couple of options for Liverpool in Group B. Midfielder Martin Zubimendi has been mentioned before as a potential option. Whether he will see significant playing time in this summer's tournament, with Rodri likely to be the first choice in the number six role, remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, Dani Olmo has been discussing his future ahead of the tournament. Last month, Liverpool was one of the clubs interested in triggering the £52 million release clause in the 26-year-old's contract.
"It's undoubtedly gratifying to see your name associated with top teams in Europe and worldwide; it motivates me. However, my focus is on the Euros, and I hope we can return with the trophy," Olmo told Mundo Deportivo. "After that, we'll see. It's nice to be linked with top clubs, but it doesn't bother me. I'm focused on my performances on the field, and whatever happens, happens."
Italy also offers a couple of players to keep an eye on. Nicolo Barella is consistently linked with Liverpool every transfer window.
Meanwhile, Federico Chiesa could become available. Chiesa does not feature in prospective new Juventus boss Thiago Motta's plans and could be sold to raise funds.
Group C
Benjamin Sesko has been frequently mentioned recently. Liverpool might be monitoring him while he plays for Slovenia in the tournament.
Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi is considered an option, with Liverpool is among the clubs interested in him.
Regarding Anthony Gordon, the former Everton player has openly expressed his admiration for Liverpool recently. Newcastle might not let him go easily, but it seems like a move he would be interested in.
Group D
Liverpool already has a strong Dutch influence with Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, and Cody Gakpo. With Arne Slot as the new head coach, that connection could strengthen further.
Slot might have his eyes set on some of his former Feyenoord players. Goalkeeper Justin Bijlow and defender Lutsharel Geertruida have both been linked with moves to Anfield, with Geertruida even spotted in the away end during Liverpool’s match against West Ham in April.
Borussia Dortmund's Donyell Malen has also been linked with Liverpool, and Teun Koopmeiners' name always surfaces during the transfer window.
Group E
Belgium provides interesting attacking options for Liverpool. Johan Bakayoko has been touted as a potential long-term replacement for Salah, aiming to impress in his first senior international tournament.
Lois Openda has been linked with both Liverpool and Chelsea recently. His impressive record of 28 goals and seven assists in 45 appearances for RB Leipzig in the 2023/24 season makes him worth watching.
In Group E, Arne Slot is familiar with David Hancko. The Slovakia defender, a self-proclaimed Reds fan, dreams of a move to the Premier League, so he might be eager to catch the eye this summer.
Group F
Portugal boasts standout players like Goncalo Inacio, Joao Palhinha, Pedro Neto, and Joao Neves, who have been linked with moves to Anfield in the past year. However, Neves seems likely to stay at Benfica.
In Turkey, midfielder Orkun Kokcu has been linked with a reunion with his former Feyenoord boss, although a hefty release clause at Benfica might deter Liverpool.
