Darwin Núñez, the 26‑year‑old striker who left Al Hilal, is eyeing a return to Anfield while Barcelona keeps tabs on him. After a stalled spell in Saudi Arabia, Núñez could terminate his contract and re‑enter the market. His move would give Liverpool a fresh attacking option as the club seeks depth.

Barcelona meanwhile tracks midfielder Marc Casadó, a 22‑year‑old drawing interest from Manchester United and Chelsea. United have held recent talks, while the Blues scout him despite limited first‑team chances. Monaco reportedly leads the race, but Casadó is expected to depart Camp Nou this summer as Barça reshapes its midfield.

Other fronts see Bayern Munich eyeing Lennart Karl and Newcastle United's Lewis Miley as future additions. Karl, 18, impressed in the Bundesliga before a World Cup injury, while Miley, 20, offered versatility after 23 Premier League appearances. Barcelona’s shortlist expands as the club prepares for a summer of potential reshuffling.

Meanwhile, Liverpool winger Cody Gakpo faces a potential move if Rio Ngumoha secures a starting spot. Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Atlético Madrid eye Gakpo, with Liverpool open to a swap for Leipzig’s Yan Diomande. The Reds’ transfer window could reshape their attacking options for the season.
