In the end, Liverpool came out on top thanks to Kepa Arrizabalaga smashing his penalty over the crossbar.

It represents a very good week or so for the Reds, who have closed the gap in the title race as well as securing their first trophy of the season.

But that doesn’t mean the work won’t be continuing in relation to this summer’s transfers.

And here we have rounded up the latest on the transfer front:

Liverpool are being linked with a move for Real Madrid forward Marco Asensio ahead of this summer.

The Spanish star has enjoyed fine form this season, but he is out of contract in 2023, and should Los Blancos sign another forward this summer, it could be him or Rodrygo as far departures go.

According to Fichajes, Liverpool could consider a move for Asensio, who could cost around £30million.

Gomez price

Liverpool are said to have named their price for centre-back Joe Gomez.

The England international is attracting plenty of interest ahead of this summer, having fallen down the pecking order following the arrival of Ibrahima Konate.

The likes of Aston Villa and Newcastle United have been linked with a move, and according to Nacional, whoever wants to sign Gomez will have to pay around £25million.

Gakpo blow

The Reds could have competition for reported target Cody Gakpo.

The winger, who has managed 12 assists in 18 league games, has been heavily linked with Liverpool ahead of this summer.

But according to The Mirror, Manchester United are now weighing up a bid for the winger, which could be a blow for Jugen Klopp’s hopes of signing the player.
