Romano gives ‘here we go’ to Liverpool striker signing as Juventus open talks for Nunez
Liverpool have got another striker signing over the line this month as Salford City star Will Wright is set to join the Reds, according to reports.
The Reds have already signed Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike this summer, as well as back-up goalkeepers Freddie Woodman and Armin Pecsi.
Liverpool have thrown their full weight behind Arne Slot after the Dutchman delivered the Premier League title in his first season at Anfield.
But Liverpool aren’t done there with rumours that they will attempt to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle before the transfer deadline in a British record deal.
Former CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs revealed on July 16 that the Reds were ‘pushing’ to sign Salford City striker Wright.
Jacobs said on social media: ‘Liverpool pushing to sign Salford City striker Will Wright for a six-figure sum. Several Premier League clubs interested, but #LFC currently in advanced talks.’

And now Jacobs has confirmed that the Merseysiders have now ‘won the race’ to sign Wright despite Arsenal’s late attempts to hijack a deal.
Jacobs wrote on X on Tuesday: ‘Liverpool have won the race for Will Wright after making an improved offer to Salford City. Arsenal tried to hijack to the deal, and initially outbid #LFC. Liverpool eventually able to reach a club-to-club agreement.’
While transfer expert Fabrizio Romano gave his famous ‘here we go’ to the Wright deal and gave details of the contract agreement.
Romano said on X: ‘Will Wright completed second part of medical as new Liverpool player from Salford City. Contract until June 2028, three year deal… and here we go.’
