Liverpool: Jacquet, Muñoz, Araujo — the Reds' transfer window state of play
The full state of play on Liverpool's transfer window: Mohamed Salah's departure, the Jacquet and Muñoz signings, and the hot Ronald Araujo saga with Barcelona.
Liverpool's summer transfer window is dominated by one big departure: Mohamed Salah, whose contract expired with no designated successor lined up for the Reds' attack. The club has nonetheless invested heavily in rebuilding, with two major signings and a live saga still unfolding around Ronald Araujo.
The big exit: Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah has left Liverpool after nine seasons, his contract expiring on June 30: the forward had agreed to cut his deal short by a year following a difficult season marked by being dropped and public friction with manager Arne Slot. He has not signed with anyone yet — Roma, Juventus, Fenerbahçe and North American side San Diego FC are among the reported suitors, while interest from the Saudi league remains conditional on a salary and contract length befitting his status.
Confirmed arrivals
- Jérémy Jacquet — from Stade Rennais, €63.6m, the summer's biggest signing
- Víctor Muñoz — from CA Osasuna, €40m
- Ifeanyi-Arthur Ndukwe — from Austria Vienna
- Several loan returns: Kostas Tsimikas (AS Roma), Harvey Elliott (Aston Villa), Luke Chambers (Charlton Athletic), Vítězslav Jaroš (Ajax) and Calum Scanlon (Cardiff City)
The live saga: Ronald Araujo closing in
Liverpool have agreed a deal with FC Barcelona for a season-long loan of Ronald Araujo, including a buy option worth around €55m that could be triggered in summer 2027, with the English club covering his salary in full. The medical and signature are still to be completed.
Other confirmed departures
- Ibrahima Konaté — free transfer, to Real Madrid
- Andrew Robertson — free transfer, to Tottenham
The financial picture
Excluding the Araujo deal (a loan, not a transfer), Liverpool's transfer window balance currently stands at around -€103.6m, with both Konaté and Robertson leaving on free transfers.
