After weeks of interest, multiple sources have confirmed that Liverpool have tabled a formal bid for Yisa Alao. The Sheffield Wednesday defender has been attracting interest from across the league in recent weeks, with an opening offer marking a clear intent to get the deal done before the market intensifies. But it remains to be seen whether this opening bid will be enough to tempt a move away. While Man Utd have shown interest, Liverpool currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. Across the season 25/26, Liverpool have let in 26 goals in 19 (1.37 per game), roughly in line with the Premier League average. Yisa Alao would be expected to give them some extra stability and depth for the tougher stretches of the season. Speculation continues to connect Liverpool with Othmane Maamma, Ivan Toney and James Mcconnell while no fresh rumours surround Sheffield Wednesday. Need more Liverpool transfer rumours?
