While Anthony Gordon looked to be an immediate opportunity for sporting director Richard Hughes ahead of the June 30 PSR deadline, that's turned into a slower burner. But having briefly entertained the prospect, Newcastle has potentially opened a can of worms, and Liverpool will continue to monitor that situation amid fresh claims about the winger.
Meanwhile, the Leny Yoro race is still open for the time being, even if it looks increasingly likely that he will be heading to Real Madrid. Interestingly, Manchester United lodged a bid yesterday, but the situation does not look vastly different now that the dust is settling on that development.
And one report claims that Liverpool has now made a bid of its own for a central defender, stepping up efforts to sign Juventus and Brazil star Gleison Bremer. We've got the latest on that.

Liverpool looks at Lunin
Hero of the Champions League but villain of Euro 2024, Andriy Lunin is on the Liverpool radar. The Ukrainian shot-stopper was dropped after an error-strewn first game, but had previously been near-flawless for Real Madrid.
He will be bumped back down the Bernabeu pecking order with the return of Thibaut Courtois from injury. And per HITC, Liverpool has taken a look at him.
The report claims that Liverpool is considering goalkeepers amid Saudi interest in Alisson Becker. But the Reds may well want to sign a new stopper this summer regardless, with Caoimhin Kelleher's future also up in the air.

Real Madrid cool over Yoro developments
Real Madrid is sanguine about developments in the Leny Yoro race. Despite Manchester United placing a bid, it remains supremely confident.
Per Fabrizio Romano, Real knows that the Bernabeu is the destination of choice for Yoro. It is satisfied that Lille will either do business this summer on terms acceptable in the Spanish capital, or else the defender will wait a year and join on a free transfer.
And José Félix DÃaz of Marca reports that Real Madrid is increasingly confident of finding an agreement with Lille, allowing the move to take place sooner rather than later. That will come as a blow to Liverpool, who also holds an interest.

Gordon's state of mind
Anthony Gordon is yet to get his head on straight after being tempted by a move to Liverpool. It's even affecting him in the England camp.
Per the Daily Star, he may even have harmed his chances of breaking into the England side at Euro 2024, having been driven to distraction by the idea of moving to Liverpool. It's had a noticeable impact on him, which has been a cause of concern.
What that means for Newcastle upon his return remains to be seen. It is out of the PSR woods, but will be hoping it does not welcome back a wantaway star.

Liverpool "bids" for Bremer
Liverpool has lodged a $65m (£55m/€60m) bid for Gleison Bremer. That's per Fichajes.
The Juventus defender, 27, recently ended his Copa America participation. Liverpool could target him for his "experience".
However, three other clubs are thought to be interested. And Juventus intends to wait and see if a bidding war breaks out.
