Liverpool enter talks with star's father over groundbreaking deal
Liverpool are now preparing for a groundbreaking deal.
One transfer window has shut, but the next one is only around the corner. Life moves thick and fast, especially in the football world.
Given how incomplete Liverpool's summer transfer period felt, it feels like things are already gearing up for a big year in 2027. There's already speculation about Lamine Camara, but Liverpool are reportedly making moves to sign others as well.

It's all a result of a huge shake-up behind the scenes.
Richard Hughes' time at the club will always be shrouded in infamy. He was not a popular figure among the fanbase and in general he has left the club's squad short in a number of areas.
He is now moving on to join Al Hilal.
Liverpool's next steps behind the scenes
Hughes' close associate Michael Edwards has already departed FSG. Hughes will be joining Al Hilal and it remains to be seen what the future holds for Edwards.
In fact it remains to be seen what the future holds for FSG being in charge of Liverpool.
A consortium led by Amit Bhatia has purchased a significant minority stake in the region of 33% to be part owners of Liverpool. Bhatia is expected to take on an important role in the day-to-day handling of the club.

He is backed by businessmen like Jeff Bezos and and co-founder of Facebook Eduardo Saverin.
It is likely that Bhatia and his consortium will have a say on who Liverpool appoint as their next sporting director.
The solution could come internally. David Woodfine has been identified as a potential successor.
But while those decisions are made Liverpool are already preparing for 2027.
Liverpool lining up extraordinary move for Paris Brunner
The Reds opted not to sign another attacker in the final few days of the window, deeming that there were no ideal long-term options available for the right price.
That is understandable considering the Reds were quoted in excess of £80m for Yankuba Minteh and £75m for Ismaila Sarr.

And it looks like they are already in talks to sign an alternative attacker instead.
According to ITK Space , who is very reliable, Liverpool have made contact with the representatives and the father of Brunner.
The German attacker has four goals in four games for AS Monaco this season and he also netted at Anfield in a pre-season friendly after which the Reds are believed to have made contact.
Brunner would be a groundbreaking deal for Liverpool because he is regarded as a generational talent. A couple of years ago when the U17 Euros were taking place, many saw him as the best talent at the tournament - even though Lamine Yamal was there.
Brunner is now finally living up to the hype and the next step of his career could very well take him to Anfield.
