Liverpool is in a race against time to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes, as they remain the only Premier League club yet to make a signing this summer. Their efforts have been met with frustration, with Martin Zubimendi opting to stay at Real Sociedad despite Liverpool’s interest, and a potential deal for Anthony Gordon falling through after Newcastle United backed out of a £75m agreement.
Now, it appears that Liverpool has shifted focus to bolstering their defense. Rennes left-back Adrien Truffert, who recently helped France secure a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, has caught their attention. Truffert, a 22-year-old who has been with Rennes since 2015, is also being monitored by Manchester United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Nottingham Forest, and Paris Saint-Germain.
According to L’Equipe via Get French Football News, any club interested in Truffert, including Liverpool, will need to make a compelling offer to convince Rennes to part with the player before the transfer window closes. Truffert has made 156 appearances for Rennes across all competitions.
