Latest transfer news: Liverpool eye £50m Salah replacement as Man Utd plot bargain midfielder swoop

As the final international break before the 2026 World Cup, transfer rumours continue to swirl around the Premier League's top clubs, with several teams looking to bolster key positions this summer.

The two teams chasing the title look locked in a battle to sign a rival full-back, while another English giant is seeking to replace one of their longest-serving stars.

With that in mind, Football Whispers takes a look at the top headlines of the day:

Liverpool eye Francisco Conceicao as Mo Salah replacement

Now that Liverpool have received clarity over the future of long-serving winger Mohamed Salah, the Merseyside outfit can begin to shape up their summer transfer business.

The 33-year-old is set to depart Anfield at the end of the season, and attention has turned to Serie A to find his replacement, with Juventus star Francisco Conceicao among the targets.

According to reports in Italy, the Portugal international could be one of several players that the Old Lady are forced into selling, should they not qualify for the Champions League next term.

It's claimed the Italian side would want a fee in the region of £50 million, with the 23-year-old wide man under contract at the Allianz Stadium until 2030.

Man Utd plot bargain Joao Gomes transfer

There is no doubt that Manchester United will be bolstering their engine room this summer, and an interesting report has now emerged regarding their interest in Joao Gomes.

The Red Devils are keen to pounce on the 25-year-old midfielder, who could be available for as little as £39 million, if Wolves get relegated to the Championship.

It's claimed they are ‘highly likely' to make a move for Gomes, though United are not the only club monitoring the situation, with Premier League rivals Liverpool and Chelsea also mentioned.

The Portugal international seems to be one of many names on the radar at Old Trafford, so it remains to be seen whether a deal can be done at this early stage.

Arsenal favourites to land Tino Livramento

Arsenal are said to be one of the favourites to sign Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento this summer, according to reports.

The 23-year-old is also wanted by title rivals Manchester City, with both clubs thought to be monitoring his contract situation at St James' Park.

It's believed that the England international, who remains under contract until 2028, is yet to agree terms on a new deal despite recent talks.

The right-back could push for a move away if the Magpies fail to qualify for Europe, with the likes of the Gunners and City leading the charge.
