Liverpool are set to delay major transfers until after the World Cup

Liverpool's summer transfer campaign is only likely to gain momentum closer to the end of the transfer window. This is reported by The Athletic, noting that the club is calm about the possible delay of negotiations regarding newcomers. One of the reasons for this position is the 2026 World Cup, which is currently taking place in the USA, Canada and Mexico. In addition, new Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola wants to personally assess the players already at his disposal before making any final decisions on strengthening the squad. However, the club has already identified several priority directions for work on the market. First of all, it is about strengthening the flanks of the attack - Liverpool plans to sign two new wingers. One of the main targets of the Merseysiders, however, his participation in the World Cup as part of the Ivory Coast national team may delay any negotiations. Also, the English club continues to study options for strengthening the center of the field and the right-back position. It is expected that after the end of the World Cup, Liverpool will be more actively involved in the struggle for the necessary performers.
