There is “blood in the water,” according to a journalist, as Liverpool tries to sign a player for £40 million.

Levi Colwill, a defender for Chelsea, is the target of Liverpool, who genuinely believe they can sign him.

Colwill has emerged as the Reds’ top target to bolster their defense this summer. However, the general consensus has been that it will be extremely challenging to pry him away from Chelsea.

But, according to author Graeme Bailey, that might no longer be the case. Bailey asserted during an appearance on 90min’s Talking Transfer Podcast that Liverpool is becoming more optimistic about the possibility of a transfer.

According to our understanding, Liverpool believes they can free him, the journalist says. The opportunity for Levi Colwill to play for Chelsea is guaranteed.

Although Chelsea doesn’t want him to leave, players who don’t commit to their futures are sold. There is something in this that I believe Colwill finds appealing.

Liverpool is pushing for this quite hard because they can see that there is blood in the water. At Anfield, there is a conviction that they can land him because he is their top target right now.
”.

Colwill’s support from Liverpool is growing.

It will cost Liverpool a fortune to sign Colwill this summer, whether or not you believe it. It won’t be cheap if Chelsea eventually caves and sells the 20-year-old.

Brighton has reportedly given up after having a £30 million offer rejected. The Seagulls allegedly had a £40 million offer on the way, but it has not yet been delivered.

They appear willing to pay whatever sum is required on behalf of Liverpool in order to bring Colwill to Anfield.

They appear to think the England U21 star wants the transfer and are prepared to put Chelsea to the test. However, no firm offer appears to be forthcoming as of yet.

Liverpool’s current attention is perhaps too much on improving their midfield. They still don’t know how that part of the roster will look come next season, but they are fairly settled in defense.

Jurgen Klopp still has four excellent center-back options if Colwill isn’t signed, for instance. The repercussions will be worse if he fails to bring in another midfielder.

Therefore, it might be some time before we actually see any movement with regard to Colwill going to Liverpool. But perhaps that’s okay as long as his situation at Chelsea is precarious.

Liverpool to welcome the likes of Mo Salah and Jordan Henderson alongside summer signings Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister return as 14 man to start pre-season

Liverpool will welcome a host of big names on Tuesday as preparations for the season accelerate.

Summer signings Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister are among 14 players who will return to the AXA Training Center ahead of the club’s pre-season tour. They had an extended hiatus due to their involvement with their respective countries over the summer.

Skipper Jordan Henderson returns alongside compatriot Trent Alexander-Arnold alongside Alisson Becker, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, Caoimhin Kelleher, Ibrahima Konate, Alexis Mac Allister, Andy Robertson, Mohamed Salah, Kostas Tsimikas and Virgil van Dijk.

English duo Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones, who both played lead roles for England in winning the Under-21 European Championships, have had more time off as their international commitments won’t end until the weekend. Last week, several men returned to Kirby’s training base, including Darwin Nunez and Thiago, who has been linked to a move to Saudi Arabia.

Edge players including Adrian and Nathaniel Phillips also returned to action alongside Fabinho, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip.

The Merseyside side have five pre-season friendlies lined up, starting with matches in Germany against Karlsruher SC and Greuther Furth. Liverpool will then fly to Singapore, where they will face European heavyweights Bayern Munich and Leicester.

Then they return to the UK and play SV Darmstadt 98 in Deepdale. Jurgen Klopp will want to get his squad fit after pre-season to improve on last season’s underperformance.

The Reds drew their opener at Fulham as they went winless in their first three games of the season and eventually finished fifth.

That means they have to negotiate the Europa League, which will test their resources as they play on the Thursday ahead of the weekend clashes. However, Liverpool have successfully recovered from the difficult seasons of the past and should be in contention for the title once again.

Fabinho will get the chance to play with Mac Allister and Szoboszlai, who he believes will improve the squad immensely. He told the club’s website:

“It’s good to bring good players into this position because we’re going to need them. Because of the way we play, the intensity we play, we we still need not just three or four players in this position, but maybe six players.”

Position [in the squad]. So yeah, it’s good to have those two players with us now. We We’ve played before, so we know how good they are. It’s good to have him in the team.”
