**Moran Set for North East Switch as Liverpool Face Emotional Offseason and Transfer Upheaval**
Moran, who has led his national team on several occasions, is now gearing up for a new opportunity in the North East — despite having supported Liverpool since childhood.
His exit has been labeled a “major coup” by Liverpool Academy authority Lewis Bower, who commended Moran as a “versatile and expansive passer” with the ability to play in both the back line and midfield.
Although it’s a heartfelt farewell for the Reds, the club has wished him all the best in the next stage of his career.
At the same time, head coach Arne Slot has been actively reorganizing the first team in preparation for the 2025/26 season. Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz have both signed from Bayer Leverkusen, while Milos Kerkez has arrived from Bournemouth after an impressive campaign on the southern coast.
While it remains uncertain how much additional business will be conducted this summer, there’s a growing belief inside the club that they’ll make sound decisions—regarding both incomings and outgoings.
This all unfolds during a highly emotional time for Liverpool, as the club continues to grieve the heartbreaking losses of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva. Tributes are still coming in, and though the sorrow is still fresh, the squad has returned to pre-season sessions in advance of their match against Preston on Sunday.
Speculation around transfers is ongoing. Bayern Munich are said to be intensifying their pursuit of Luis Díaz, but Liverpool are firm in their stance that the Colombian wide man is not available.
In other news, Rodrygo could be departing Real Madrid, which might give Liverpool a chance to revive their interest in the Brazilian forward. Marc Guehi is also still under consideration as a defensive reinforcement as Liverpool aim to bo
lster several areas.
