Liverpool have agreed a £6.5million deal for Aberdeen full-back Calvin Ramsay. Liverpool agree deal for Aberdeen full-back Calvin Ramsay He is likely to travel to Merseyside for a medical later this week.
Liverpool have agreed a deal for the 18-year-old Scotland under-21 international, who is set to become Trent Alexander-Arnold's backup in the Reds squad.
The right-back made a further five appearances in all competitions for the remainder of the season, as he made his breakthrough into the first team. "His distribution is excellent over a variety of ranges, he is a strong set-piece taker and his willingness to attack opposing defenders is more reminiscent of a winger than a full-back." Following his breakthrough into the Aberdeen first team and becoming first-choice right-back, Ramsay attracted plenty of attention this campaign, and along with Liverpool, had been linked with moves to the likes of Leeds United, Leicester City, Manchester United, Newcastle and Tottenham, and even Serie A side Bologna. The 18-year-old has come through the youth system at Pittodrie since joining the ranks in 2012 and broke into the first team towards the back end of the 2020-21 season as the Dons finished 4th in the Scottish Premier League. Ramsay has also graduated through the ranks of the Scottish national team and has already played for the under 16s and under 17s, before becoming an established member of the under 21s last year, making three competitive appearances so far for Scot Gemmill’s side. The 18-year-old has made 40 appearances for the Dons in all competitions ever since breaking into the first-team in March 2021.
The 18-year-old is set to sign a five-year contract with Jurgen Klopp's Premier League giants.
The Premier League giants were keen to praise Aberdeen for their professional approach in negotiations for Ramsay, with the Scottish club driving a hard bargain in pushing the fee up from the Reds’ initial valuation. Ramsay is set to join the first-team squad straight away but is still viewed as one for the future. The 18-year-old defender is set to move to Anfield on a five-year contract for a fee which could bank the Dons as much as £5.5million, eclipsing the sum received from Nottingham Forest for Scott McKenna.
Following the signings of Darwin Nunez, for a potential club-record transfer fee of £85m, and Fulham 19-year-old Fabio Carvalho, Ramsay is expected to be the ...

MARK WILSON: After a season of so much bitter disappointment at Aberdeen, Calvin Ramsay's imminent sale to Liverpool provides a remarkable individual ...
For Aberdeen, a chance to reinvest in a squad in dire need of transformation. For Ramsay, it's the opportunity of a lifetime. A look across Stanley Park also underlines some of the wider problems in terms of Ramsay adapting to an English Premier League environment. 'My dad has been a big influence on me - all he wanted was for me to play for Aberdeen,' he said. Making a genuine breakthrough in Klopp's squad is an immense challenge. It's understood Liverpool have yet to decide whether they will loan Ramsay out next season or push him into a back-up first-team role.
LIVERPOOL have finally reached an agreement with Aberdeen over the signing of 18-year-old right-back Calvin Ramsay.
Aberdeen right-back Calvin Ramsay is set to become Liverpool's third summer signing after the Reds struck an agreement worth up to £5.5million including add-ons for the 18-year-old defender. For now, Liverpool are not expected to make any other acquisitions this transfer window, meaning the signing of a new central midfielder may have to wait until the summer of 2023. Liverpool have been locked in transfer negotiations with Aberdeen for several weeks but the breakthrough has now finally been made with Ramsay set to undergo a medical on Merseyside as soon as this weekend.
As Aberdeen agree a deal worth up to £8m with Liverpool for Calvin Ramsay club legend Willie Miller backs the teen to be a hit at Anfield.
“But Ramsay has to fight his way through that – that is the measure of a good player.” “This is a fabulous opportunity for Ramsay and he has to be confident enough to grab it and make the most of it. He said: “It is such a huge opportunity for Ramsay but there are going to be a lot of hurdles for him. Miller insists there will be a lot of hurdles ahead for Ramsay in his quest to be a success at one of the biggest clubs in world football. “That is the nature of the game. “He has to take that confidence and ability and weld them together to take this chance of a lifetime as far as it can possibly go.” He said: “Ramsay certainly has the qualities to be a modern type of full back that can play at the highest level. “However it will not be a case of it being handed to him. “He has all the tools to be that special player. Gothenburg Great Miller believes Ramsay has all the qualities to excel for Liverpool in the richest league in world football.

His stats in the first half of the season, for those who care about data which is an important part of the modern day game, Calvin’s were right up among the top full backs in the world. ‘When you look at the way they play, it’s with very attacking-minded and offensive full backs.
