Liverpool discover £50m release clause as Brazilian midfielder 'open' to transfer

Liverpool face a huge summer of change after the arrival of Arne Slot at Anfield.

The Reds will be going into their first season with a new manager in over a decade after the departure of Jurgen Klopp. And Slot will be looking to make his mark on Merseyside with several new additions to the club's first-team squad.

Our colleagues at the Mirror report that Spain and RB Leipzig star Dani Olmo has a £50million release clause which is expected to be triggered before it expires next week. The playmaker has played a key role in La Roja's progress to the Euro 2024 final where they will face England on Sunday evening.

Olmo has three goals and two assists so far at this summer's tournament. The 26-year-old also scored eight goals and provided five assists across all competitions for Leipzig last season. However, they report that a move to the Reds is unlikely at this stage.

Elsewhere, Caught Offside claim that Fulham have resumed talks over signing Liverpool-linked Andre. The Brazilian is said to be open to moving to Craven Cottage this summer with Fluminese said to be looking for between €30-35m for their star player.

The Reds are admirers of the midfielder and were strongly linked with completing a deal last summer and in January before he opted to stay in Brazil.

Discussing potential interest from Anfield last year, Fluminense president Mario Bittencourt said: "The chief executive of Liverpool contacted me directly. And I replied to him, 'my friend, I don't sell a player now and I don't deliver now. If you want to buy now to take in January, we can start talking, or if you want to wait until December and we talk in December'.

"Saying this first hand, we didn't receive a proposal for him, only surveys for Andre. We chose not to sell him because we believed that we would reach the final stages of the Libertadores. It was a decision made with sporting criteria."
