Michael Edwards ready to sign off on €50m mega transfer Liverpool appear to be extremely keen on a big €50m transfer this summer. Michael Edwards is expected to put a big focus on strengthening Liverpool’s midfield in the upcoming summer transfer window, especially with a few key players’ futures starting to look uncertain. One of the main concerns is Curtis Jones.

He’s heading into the final year of his contract, and there hasn’t really been much movement on an extension yet. That’s naturally led to more talk about a possible exit and Inter Milan's interest ramping up. Liverpool won’t want to let things drag on too long, especially since he’s homegrown and still an important part of the squad rotation.

His situation alone is pushing the club to think more carefully about their midfield depth and long-term planning. There are also question marks around Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, even though both are tied down until 2028. Neither is expected to leave any time soon, but Liverpool are aware that top European clubs are always keeping an eye on players of that quality, so they want to stay ahead of any potential issues.

The two situations aren’t exactly the same either. Szoboszlai is thought to be moving in a positive direction when it comes to talks over his future, with both sides fairly optimistic. Mac Allister’s situation is a bit more uncertain, with discussions reportedly slowing down in recent months.
