Liverpool Tracking Jamie Leweling as Right-Wing Search Intensifies Before Deadline Day
Liverpool are continuing to assess the market for attacking reinforcements, with Stuttgart winger Jamie Leweling among the players being monitored as the summer window heads towards its conclusion. Credit for the original report goes to Patrik Berger of Sky Germany, whose information points to growing interest in the Germany international.
🚨🟡🔴 Die AS Roma will Jamie Leweling (25/🇩🇪) verpflichten und versucht es per Leihe mit Kaufpflicht. Das Angebot lag bei über €40m im Gesamtpaket, inkl. €5m Leihgebühr. Stuttgart hat aber abgelehnt! ❌🇮🇹 w/ @_dennisbayer @DiMarzio
Roma bietet lukrativen Fünfjahresvertrag.…
There is a clear logic to Liverpool’s focus. Andoni Iraola has inherited a squad still adjusting after a difficult start to the season, with successive 2-2 draws against Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest underlining the need for more cutting edge and balance in wide areas. Bradley Barcola has already arrived from Paris Saint-Germain in a deal worth £120 million, but Liverpool’s recruitment team are still active as they seek a right-sided option following Mohamed Salah’s summer exit.
Jamie Leweling Emerges on Liverpool Radar
Leweling appears to be one of several names under consideration. The 25-year-old has enhanced his reputation significantly in Germany and is now attracting serious attention across Europe. Roma are understood to be firmly in the mix, although their attempt to sign him on a loan deal with an obligation to buy for more than €40 million, equivalent to around £34.2 million, has not been enough to persuade Stuttgart.
Liverpool are not alone in watching developments. Everton and Inter Milan are also credited with interest, which suggests any move could become competitive very quickly if Stuttgart decide to entertain offers. At this stage, there is no indication that Liverpool have gone beyond keeping a close eye on the situation, but the profile makes sense. Leweling offers flexibility across the front line, capable of operating from either flank and in more central attacking roles when required.
That versatility is often a decisive factor late in the window, particularly for clubs trying to add depth without compromising quality. Leweling’s standing has risen after an impressive campaign in Stuttgart’s push for a top-four Bundesliga finish, and his inclusion in Germany’s World Cup squad has only strengthened his appeal.
Right-Wing Plans Remain Open
Liverpool’s search is not limited to one target. Ismaila Sarr remains under consideration, although Crystal Palace are reluctant sellers and an opening £50 million approach has not changed that stance. Yakuba Minteh has also been discussed internally, but Brighton’s £80 million valuation is currently viewed as excessive.
That leaves Liverpool weighing up cost, availability and urgency. Victor Munoz has shown promise early in his Anfield career, including an important equaliser against Forest, yet there remains a feeling that another experienced wide forward would help Iraola settle the side more quickly.
With deadline day approaching, Leweling looks like a name worth watching. Whether Liverpool turn that interest into a formal move may depend on how the market shifts over the final hours, and whether Stuttgart soften their position amid pressure from multiple clubs.
Our View
From a Liverpool perspective, this feels like one of those reports that makes sense without being entirely convincing yet. Leweling sounds like a smart profile on paper, he is experienced, adaptable and clearly appreciated by clubs across Europe. That usually points to a player who has substance behind the scouting reports, not simply a name thrown into the market for effect.
At the same time, there is understandable uncertainty among fans. Liverpool have already spent heavily on Barcola, and if the squad still needs a right winger so soon after such a major deal, it raises questions about planning and priorities earlier in the window. Supporters will also wonder whether Leweling is viewed as a genuine first-choice solution or more of an opportunistic signing if other targets prove too expensive.
There is probably a split among the fanbase here. Some will see a Germany international entering his prime and trust the recruitment team if they decide to move. Others may look at the opening results, the need for instant impact, and prefer a more proven top-level option. Sarr feels more established in Premier League terms, even if that deal looks difficult. Minteh has upside, but £80 million is a huge number.
So the uncertainty is easy to understand. Leweling could be a very good fit, but if Liverpool do make a late move, supporters will want reassurance that he is arriving because he is the right target, not because the clock is running down.
