The $46 million Fabinho heir has been ‘accidentally’ discovered, confirming Liverpool’s transfer masterstroke.

With one outstanding transfer deal completed, Liverpool has new cause for celebration. A Fabinho heir may have been ‘accidentally’ discovered somewhere else.

In the current transfer market, Liverpool may feel as though it is starting over from scratch. Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis MacAllister appeared to have the midfield rebuild on track, but Saudi Arabia has slammed that conclusion.

If the rumored deals for Jordan Henderson and Fabinho go through, Liverpool might find itself in need of purchasing two more midfielders. With no senior defensive presence currently on the roster, a direct starting replacement for the Brazilian would be especially important.

Inadvertent assistance may have been provided to Jörg Schmadtke and Jürgen Klopp in that regard, with a Premier League rival possibly identifying an ideal candidate. From the anticipated Fabinho proceeds, the price being quoted could be fully covered.

But that’s unusual; most transfer fees currently being discussed serve only to confirm Liverpool’s masterstroke this transfer window. Whatever transpires for the remainder of the summer, one transaction will be difficult to surpass.

Liverpool made a brilliant transfer.

Moisés Caicedo is one player Liverpool may not pursue as it searches for a replacement for Fabinho, according to Sky Sports’ Melissa Reddy, who claims he is “not on the list.”. However, the Brighton man is something in which Chelsea is very much interested.

A second $92 million (£70 million/€82 million) transfer bid from the Blues was reportedly rejected, according to The Athletic. For a player who had just finished his first season in the Premier League, that is an incredible sum of money.

But the transfer market is operating in that manner. Despite this, Liverpool was able to use a release clause to obtain Mac Allister from the exact same club for half that sum, which is starting to seem like an unbelievable deal. James Martin’s complete story can be found here.

“Accidentally” discovered was Fabinho’s heir.

When the transfer window first opened, Caicedo and a certain Declan Rice were probably on the list of “ideal” Fabinho successors. Of course, Liverpool had no idea it would lose the Brazilian at the time, effectively ruling out any attempts to sign truly marquee targets.

Rice finally finished this week what had been a protracted transfer to Arsenal. Due to West Ham’s current need for a replacement, this has started a series of events that could result in Liverpool finding a good transfer alternative.

The Hammers are interested in Edson Lvarez, and a $46 million (£35 million/€41 million) bid may be on the table. He would make a good Rice heir if he possessed the same qualities, and he would succeed Fabinho if the Brazilian was “accidentally” replaced. Josh Williams has more to say here.

Liverpool transfer summary: Jordan Henderson supported as Jurgen Klopp approves Newcastle offer

Liverpool fans are still eagerly awaiting Jordan Henderson’s move to Saudi club Al-Ettifaq while Fabinho also heads to the Middle East.

Liverpool’s job in the summer transfer window is far from done as Jurgen Klopp prepares for some high-profile departures.

The Saudi Pro League could potentially wreak havoc for the Reds as Jordan Henderson is still awaiting a huge cash offer from rivals Al-Ettifaq. Brazilian midfielder Fabinho is almost certain to join Al-Hilal for a transfer fee of £40million.

Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister and RB Leipzig player Dominik Szoboszlai have already arrived at Anfield but further reinforcements could soon be needed.

Klopp could have done without this headache as he prepares his team to recover from a difficult season. Fowler backs Henderson for ‘outrage’
Former Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has backed Jordan Henderson amid criticism over his move to Saudi Arabia.

Fowler, now manager of Saudi Premier League club Al-Qadsiah, said: “I can see the usual outrage has been instilled after top figures in British football got involved in the Saudi Pro League.”

“It was Jordan Henderson’s alleged wages that sparked the outrage. I’ve never really understood why footballers’ wages are such a sensitive issue when the billions the financiers earn are never questioned. I don’t I’m not going to judge Jordan, Steven.” Gerrard or anyone else who went to Saudi Arabia for work.”

Newcastle United have made an £82million bid for Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, according to WinWinAllSports. He’s a player previously linked with Liverpool and Klopp made no secret of his admiration for the star last year:

“He’s a really good lad and very fast and you have to defend him together in times like these.” said the German coach. “If he has the advantage of the first movement, he is already gone.

“You have to try to be there when the ball goes in, but if you can’t do that you have to be protected because he’s quick, he’s cheeky, he goes in, he can go out, that always makes it very difficult. ”

Former Reds star attacked by Tuchel
A return to Liverpool seems highly unlikely for Sadio Mane, but the prospect of him leaving Bayern has certainly been mooted.

Coach Thomas Tuchel has given a stark assessment of the striker’s first season in Germany, plagued by injuries and disappointing form. The Senegalese star was even banned and fined by his club in April after he allegedly beat teammate Leroy Sane. “Sadio actually had an underwhelming season and fell short of expectations,” he said.

“The competitive situation is very high for him with Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry. We have a setup that makes life very difficult for Sadio. Even the player knows it, he knows my opinion and that of the club.”
