Liverpool abandoned their pursuit for Barcelona midfielder Marc Bernal, despite considering a potential transfer worth around €60 million for the summer of 2027. Manager Andoni Iraola had expressed admiration for the young midfielder. However, Bernal's growing importance under Barcelona's Hansi Flick made a transfer more difficult.
