Liverpool want £160,000-weekly ready to secure move to Anfield – report

Liverpool needed a major midfield overhaul this summer, but we expect a possible mass exodus from the center of the park.

After three midfielders were allowed to leave this summer, Fabinho and Henderson are now linked with a move from Anfield.

According to The Mail, Fabinho is set to move to Saudi Arabia to join Al-Ittihad and one of the players Liverpool have chosen to replace him is Kalvin Phillips.

Sky Sports have also revealed the Reds have given Brazil clearance to complete the £40m move to the Middle East and want Man City’s regista to cement the No.6 position.

The Merseysiders were after the England international in 2022 but in the end the Sky Blues eventually suspended his services for £45million. On the other hand, in April this year, The Star exclusively revealed that Jurgen Klopp wants Liverpool to reach a £35million deal for Phillips, who wants to move to Anfield.

The 27-year-old is still on a five-year contract with Etihad and earns a salary of £160,000 a week.

Phillips was a key player for Leeds United and impressed for England at Euro 2020, but since his move to Cityzens he has only warmed up on the bench.

Last season, the deep 27-player playmaker played just 593 minutes in all tournaments and started just three games for Man City.

Do you think he’s good enough to replace Fabinho, who has been one of the Premier League’s top DMs over the years?

More news…….

A young player for Liverpool claims that he is currently competing to make Jurgen Klopp’s starting lineup.

Conor Bradley, a Liverpool prospect, has said that this year’s preseason “feels different” for him.

Last season, the right-back had a standout loan experience at Bolton Wanderers.
Bradley has a good chance of earning a spot in the first team roster because Calvin Ramsay is on loan to Preston North End for the 23–24 season.

And the 20-year-old said he’s aiming to do just that when he spoke to liverpoolfc . com for the first time since his return from Bolton.

The biggest preseason of my career thus far, he declared, was unquestionably. “Of course, I believe every pre-season will be the most important for me, but I’m looking forward to this one and seeing how I do.

“It just feels different than the last preseason I participated in. I’m currently competing for a spot in this squad. I want to work hard and compete for that position.

“I think I play much better than I did the last time I was here. I’m eager to demonstrate my abilities during the preseason. The last few years have been crazy, but I just want to keep working and moving forward to see where it leads. ”.

Bradley is desperate for a chance with Liverpool.

These are the kinds of conversations that Jurgen Klopp will adore hearing from the young right-back. After destroying everyone in his path in League One the previous season, Bradley appears eager to continue growing.

A young right-back at Liverpool can naturally only set himself up for so much success. Bradley won’t be anything like a regular next season because Trent Alexander-Arnold will be ahead of him.

Though you never know, to be fair. Trent might convince Klopp to start him in midfield on a permanent basis if the Northern Ireland international can do so.

Jurgen has so far been apprehensive to take that action. But to be fair, Liverpool has never had a full-back who was good enough to stand in for him.

That might soon change if Bradley is able to reach his early potential.

In either case, the young man at Anfield has a wide open door. Now he has the chance to continue working through it.

If he is prepared for that, it will be clear in the coming weeks.
If he performs well, he’ll undoubtedly be on the team the following year.
He will return to being on loan if he doesn’t impress enough. Bradley should be closely watched no matter what happens.
