Liverpool tracking Fulham's Josh King for a 2027 move
The situation
Liverpool are keeping an eye on Josh King, the 19-year-old Fulham midfielder, with the interest framed as one for next year rather than anything imminent. The newest report says Thomas Tuchel has given fresh encouragement to pursue the player, but there is no fee on the table, no personal terms, and no approach described. As things stand this is interest, nothing firmer, and it points to a window later than January 2027.
The reporting
FootballTransfers first reported it on 6 November. That is the only outlet carrying the story, and no trusted reporter has backed it. The report mentions a €60m figure, but no club has set an asking price or made an offer, so treat that number as a claim and not a deal in motion.
The outlook
The chance of anything completing by the February deadline is slim. King has 30 months left on his Fulham contract when the January window opens, which gives Fulham every reason to hold firm, and Liverpool's own interest is described as tracking rather than bidding. For this to move, Liverpool would need to turn encouragement into a concrete bid, and Fulham would need a reason to sell a teenager they are under no pressure to let go.
What happens next
A formal bid, or a competing club firming up, would be the first real sign this is anything more than tracking.
