Liverpool transfer update: Jurgen Klopp’s £21.5m Tottenham struggle after Romeo Lavia blow

After receiving offers from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United States, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, a former midfielder for Liverpool, may soon be heading to a new team.

Following Alexis Mac Allister’s knee injury on Wednesday, Liverpool’s need for a new central midfield player has grown.

The complaint was discovered by the Argentina international during Liverpool’s 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich in Singapore. Hopefully, the injury is not too serious, as Jurgen Klopp told reporters, “He could have continued playing.”. There’s no reason to force him to continue. “.

It is a reminder to Klopp to bring in a central midfield player, regardless of Mac Allister’s potential. Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are the five players he lost that can fill the role this summer.

While Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have been added to Liverpool, Klopp still feels that his team needs another central midfield player, ideally one with defensive tendencies. The most recent Merseyside transfer rumors are listed below with that in mind.

Kessie move taken into account.

According to Spanish publication SPORT, Liverpool is interested in acquiring Franck Kessie, a midfielder for Barcelona. With just one lackluster season under his belt, the La Liga champions are expected to let 26-year-old Kessie leave Camp Nou this summer.

The Ivory Coast international has struggled in preseason play, raising concerns for longtime supporters Tottenham and Juventus. However, there are rumors circulating in Spain that Liverpool is also thinking about making a bid for Kessie, who is estimated to be worth €25 million (£21.5 million).

Following his absence from Barcelona’s preseason friendly against AC Milan, Xavi declined to provide any hints regarding Kessie’s potential new team. Xavi said, “Kessie missed the game due to a minor illness.”. In terms of his prospects, he is fully aware of the circumstances. “.

Lavia Competition 

Reports from The Independent state that Manchester United is contemplating a bid for Romeo Lavia. Liverpool wants to sign the 19-year-old Belgium international from Southampton, but the Saints are holding out for £50 million after rejecting two offers of £37 million and £41 million.

With Manchester United now in the running, Liverpool’s inability to complete the deal could come back to haunt them. The players up for grabs include Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire, Fred, Donny van der Beek, and Brandon Williams, so Erik ten Hag’s team will have to sell before placing a bid.

With the fact that Southampton paid £10.5m to sign Lavia from Manchester City a year ago, their reluctance to settle for £50m is understandable. They also owe Pep Guardiola’s team 20% of any sales in the future.

Ox’s next club

After leaving Liverpool, Oxlade-Chamberlain is reportedly being pursued by Besiktas, per Sky Sports News. In an attempt to pitch his vision to the 29-year-old England international, it is alleged that Turkish club president Ahmet Nur Cebi met with him at a London hotel.

Though Oxlade-Chamberlain has received offers from US and Saudi Arabian teams, as well as other Turkish clubs, he would prefer to remain in England. Though the midfielder played 146 games for Liverpool, it’s unclear exactly what’s next for him.

Jürgen Klopp gave a Liverpool forward his Champions League debut while he was “in talks” to move on.

In-progress transfer talks could result in the departure of a Liverpool youngster who was regarded highly enough to make his Champions League debut under Jürgen Klopp.

As negotiations with League One team Oxford United advance, Max Woltman, a forward in the Liverpool academy, is on the verge of leaving the organization.

The 2-1 Champions League victory over AC Milan at the San Siro in December 2021 marked the 19-year-old’s first-team debut under Jürgen Klopp.
He has been a member of Liverpool since he was seven years old.

Woltman, however, returned to Liverpool’s under-23s squad for the remainder of the season after a loan stint at Doncaster Rovers last term where he struggled for playing time.

Manager Liam Manning has taken notice of Woltman as he has been playing for Oxford in various friendlies over the summer. Woltman is not an immediate impact player for the team, according to Manning, who views him as a development project.

Manning said (via the ECHO) “We’re talking to Liverpool and exploring what that looks like. “It’s more of a development project than something that will immediately have an effect on the team,” the author said. I believe he is the kind of player who fits how we want to play, considering his personality, character, and some of the qualities he displayed in brief moments.

“We don’t have the next one coming up under that when you look at the competition in his position with Ruben Rodrigues and Billy Bodin. The main factor is how the deal is structured. Everything depends on how the deal ultimately turns out. ”.

Woltman has scored twice in 13 appearances for Barry Lewtas’ under-23 team since his return to Liverpool in January. He was, nonetheless, ineligible to take part in the UEFA Youth League games.

Oxford, which placed 19th in League One last season, is looking to add players to its roster in preparation for the 2023–24 season. It would gain a promising young talent for the future from the potential acquisition of Woltman.
