A Liverpool star player describes Chelsea’s threat as “dangerous” before the Premier League season begins.

Diogo Jota, a forward for Liverpool, is wary of Chelsea ahead of the Premier League season.

Diogo Jota, a Liverpool player, is wary of Chelsea going into their Premier League debut on August 13 at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues will be led by a new manager going into the game, with Mauricio Pochettino hoping to make a strong first impression at the West London club. The Reds, on the other hand, are probably one of our season’s toughest opponents to begin with.

Jota expressed optimism about the outcome of the matchup with Chelsea to the media via Liverpool Echo. The Portuguese international does acknowledge the danger the Blues pose, though.

Because we outperformed them this season, we said, “We want to show something different this season. They have a new manager and will begin from scratch. They are dangerous, but we always know that Stamford Bridge is not an easy place to play, so it’s a great way to kick off the Premier League. “.

The 2022–23 season wasn’t the best for Liverpool. The team led by Jurgen Klopp had trouble keeping up with Manchester City, a team they have been competing against for years.

The Merseyside team finished fifth in the league standings the previous season. The Reds not only struggled in the English top flight, but they also had little success in both domestic and European cup competitions.

Jota hasn’t been inspiring in himself for a while. Additionally, he has been hampered by injuries. In 28 appearances across all competitions the previous season, the 26-year-old scored seven goals and contributed eight assists, but his performances were underwhelming.

We had a forgettable season as well, Chelsea. In the 2022–2023 season, Graham Potter and Thomas Tuchel both lost their jobs. Similarly limited in his abilities was Frank Lampard.

In the preseason, Pochettino has, thankfully, seen some promising signs. But Liverpool also has a point to make heading into the upcoming season. The course of the game will be interesting to watch.

Southampton sends Liverpool a “cheap transfer” warning amid a third Romeo Lavia offer is being prepared.

As Liverpool prepares to make another offer for the Belgian international, Southampton has clarified their transfer situation regarding Romeo Lavia.

Liverpool has received a strong message from Southampton regarding their pursuit of Romeo Lavia, a Belgian international.

After the South Coast side rejected the Reds’ initial offer of £34 million plus £4 million in add-ons, the Reds had a bid of about £41 million for the 19-year-old rejected last week.

Lavia is valued at £50 million by Southampton, who were demoted from the Premier League last season, and they have steadfastly refused to budge on their demand. Liverpool is now preparing a third attempt to wrest the player away from St. Mary’s.

Top-flight clubs are pursuing a number of Saints players, with a £32 million deal for full-back Tino Livramento agreed upon with Newcastle United while a £30 million offer for James Ward-Prowse was rejected by West Ham United.

Lavia, who was an unused substitute in Southampton’s opening Championship victory at Sheffield Wednesday on Friday night, continues to be Liverpool’s top target as they look to bolster their defensive midfield options in the wake of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson’s moves to Saudi Arabia.

The reason why Southampton’s club won’t let the player leave on the cheap was also explained by club chief executive Phil Parsons.

Let’s be practical, he said in a statement to BBC Radio Solent Sport. “We are looking at all options.”. “We don’t need 30-plus players; we have more than that. We’re actually in a position to ensure that the finances balance out quite well and that being demoted does cost you dearly.

“We have the option to reduce the squad and sell assets if we so choose. We won’t be offering our assets for a bargain. We were adamant on a few points because of this.

“Over the next few years, we’ll develop a lot of players, and some of them will eventually sign with one of the top four clubs, but we won’t do it cheaply; we’ll do it at market rate.
We will consider any offers clubs make to us.
Not just any offer knocked on the door will be accepted.

“Southampton is a great club and if you do well for Southampton and deserve a move, maybe we’ll look at it, but let’s focus on Southampton first and doing well and then we’ll talk about other clubs second,” the agent said. ”.
