Moran Set for North East Move as Liverpool Navigate Emotional Summer and Transfer Shake-Up
Moran, who has captained his country on multiple occasions, is now preparing for a fresh challenge in the North East — despite his lifelong support for Liverpool.
His departure has been described as a “major coup” by Liverpool Academy expert Lewis Bower, who praised Moran as a “versatile and expansive passer” capable of operating in both defense and midfield.
Though it’s a bittersweet exit for the Reds, the club has expressed best wishes for his future success.
Meanwhile, manager Arne Slot has been busy reshaping the senior squad ahead of the 2025/26 campaign. Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz have both arrived from Bayer Leverkusen, while Milos Kerkez joins from Bournemouth following a standout season on the south coast.
While it’s unclear how much more business will be done this summer, there’s a sense of confidence within the club that they’ll make the right moves—both in terms of arrivals and departures.
This comes during a deeply emotional period for Liverpool, as the club continues to mourn the tragic deaths of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva. Tributes continue to pour in, and while the grief remains raw, the team has resumed pre-season training in preparation for their friendly against Preston on Sunday.
Transfer rumors continue to swirl. Bayern Munich are reportedly stepping up their interest in Luis Díaz, though Liverpool remain adamant that the Colombian winger is not for sale.
Elsewhere, Rodrygo could be on the move from Real Madrid, potentially opening the door for Liverpool to renew interest in the Brazilian attacker. Marc Guehi also remains a possible defensive target as Liverpool look to strengthen across multiple positions.
