Moran, who has proudly captained his national team on multiple occasions, now seems ready to embrace a new opportunity in the North East of England. This move is especially noteworthy given his lifelong support for Liverpool, the club he idolized growing up.
Liverpool Academy expert Lewis Bower hailed the transfer as a notable milestone, praising Moran for his technical prowess. Bower described him as a “versatile and expansive passer,” capable of playing both in defensive and midfield roles. His adaptability and wide-ranging skills made him a key figure within Liverpool’s youth ranks.
Though Liverpool fans may be disappointed to see such a promising young talent leave, the club has publicly wished Moran well, expressing confidence that he’ll continue to thrive and evolve elsewhere in his career.
At the same time, Liverpool—under new head coach Arne Slot—have been actively strengthening their squad ahead of the 2025/26 season. Noteworthy additions include Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, both of whom bring Bundesliga experience and youthful energy. The club has also signed left-back Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth, following his impressive performances last season.
With the transfer window still open, Liverpool remain optimistic about future moves, both incoming and outgoing, as they shape the team to meet the demands of the new campaign.
All this activity comes in the wake of a profound loss for the club—the sudden death of Diogo Jota, which has deeply affected teammates, staff, and fans alike. Tributes have also poured in for his brother, Andre Silva. Despite the grief, the team is slowly beginning to return to routine.
Pre-season preparations are underway, with a friendly against Preston set for Sunday. This marks the beginning of their pre-season campaign and a key phase in preparing for competitive matches.
Meanwhile, transfer rumors continue to circulate. Bayern Munich is reportedly stepping up interest in Luis Díaz, though Liverpool remain firm in their stance that the Colombian winger is not for sale. Elsewhere, speculation around Brazilian forward Rodrygo’s future at Real Madrid could open a pathway for Liverpool to act. England international Marc Guehi is also still being linked with a potential move to Anfield.
