Fabrizio Romano describes Liverpool star as “something incredible” and the “bargain of the summer.”

The Premier League spent a record amount during this summer’s transfer window.

All the big clubs continued to give heavily and fans saw the British record broken not once, but twice.

Declan Rice has become the country’s most expensive player after moving £105million from West Ham to Arsenal. However, the England international soon lost his title after Moises Caicedo joined Chelsea from Brighton for the whopping sum of £115m.

However, Arsenal and Chelsea aren’t the only teams to achieve huge success this summer. Liverpool have also been tasked with several signings.

After losing almost all of their veteran midfielders at the end of last season, including Fabinho and captain Jordan Henderson; As both left the Premier League in favor of lucrative deals with the Saudi Pro League, Jurgen Klopp knew he had to spend the summer rebuilding his midfield.

Determined to restore the club to its former glory, the German opted to sign four midfield signings.

Dominik Szoboszlai joined RB Leipzig for £60m, Ryan Gravenberch joined Bayern Munich for £34m, Wataru Endo joined Stuttgart for £16m and Alexis Mac Allister joined for £16m from Brighton, a reported £35m fee.

And it’s the latter that Fabrizio Romano, top transfer expert and CaughtOffside columnist, has dubbed his “bargain of the summer”.

“I would like to mention Alexis Mac Allister [as the bargain of the summer],” Romano said on Monday’s DeBrief podcast.

“For me, he’s a great signing from Liverpool. I think they’ve done a really good job. […] For a sum of almost 40 million euros, I think it’s something incredible.”

Since Mac Allister, who signed a five-year contract, made his competitive debut for a club earlier in the season, he has started all four of Liverpool’s Premier League games.

Mohamed Salah couldn’t hide his true feelings at Anfield mixed zone after Liverpool reject transfer offer

Speculation continues over Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool, but signs are positive for Reds fans, writes Paul Gorst

For the amateur body language savvy, being able to analyze Mohamed Salah’s late goal celebration was a godsend under the circumstances.

The Egyptian’s second win came at the Kop End on Sunday, when he completed a Darwin Nunez strike from Andy Robertson’s corner to complete a relatively comfortable 3-0 victory over Aston Villa.
It was his 188th with the Reds, but the big question remains: will it be his last?

This was what many, immediately after the goal, tried to decipher. There was no great display of emotion from Salah and his ending was met with the kind of hushed response that surely would have been livelier had he thought this might be his last major act before his adoring audience.

The muted celebrations only added credence to the idea that Salah knows he will score bigger and better goals before becoming Liverpool’s top scorer of the Premier League era.

As for the players themselves, they are adamant that Al-Ittihad’s interest won’t see their top scorer eliminated.
At least not yet.

“There’s nothing for us to worry about,” Andy Robertson said after Sunday’s win.
“For us, Mohamed Salah is a Liverpool player and we believe that will continue to be the case for the foreseeable future.” “The position of the club was to clear the ball, to reject the offer and that was the position. For me, Mo was good for Mo. He doesn’t bother him, I stay very close to him and he doesn’t bother him at all.”

Robertson’s insistence matches what Dominik Szoboszlai revealed after the match, when he stated that Salah had already told his colleagues that he would stay.

“We talk to each other,” Szoboszlai said.
“He wants to stay here, he wants to be here, he wants to be with us.
In the end, he stayed and that’s great news.
He’s a top player.”

And while Jurgen Klopp hasn’t said Salah has instilled similar feelings in him, the Reds boss was in no mood to back down given his now long-term stance that the No.11 was simply nothing. not to sell.

Klopp said: “He speaks through his training, his performances and his behavior. We had meetings this week and these meetings were not about what we have done in the past but about what we are going to do in the future.

“Mo was on the players’ (guidance) committee and he had times where he spoke and it wasn’t like ‘it’s only until next week for that matter’ or whatever.”

His latest performance means he has now scored in 150 of his 309 games for Liverpool, cementing his position as the Reds’ fifth all-time goalscorer. It was also his tenth goal in as many games at Anfield.

What happens next in Saudi Pro League champion Al-Ittihad’s boardroom will be fascinating.
FSG chairman Mike Gordon’s immediate rejection of the £150m offer on Thursday night will certainly not spell the end of this saga, with reports in the Middle East suggesting the offer will be increased to £200m.

However, if the £150m fee is rejected, the question is how willing Liverpool will be to accept the extra £50m.

With Salah now part of a fearsome five-man front-line division at Anfield, it seems unrealistic that his departure will pave the way for more than one addition to the strike force.
There’s just no room at the inn.

But given the 31-year-old’s ridiculous performance, there’s a valid argument that there isn’t a direct replacement who would be close enough to appease a fan base who would likely be furious to lose him.
Salah exudes noble air when it comes to the top scorers in modern football. He is irreplaceable in this respect, especially for a club with the operating model of Liverpool.

If Salah is a player disturbed by the intense and constant daily speculation about his next move – chatter which, it must be emphasized, comes almost entirely from Saudi Arabia – he did not show it on Sunday afternoon when he confronted a handful of journalists.

who looks like a carefree man has passed.
As always, requests for a few minutes of his time were politely declined, but he couldn’t help but laugh as he walked through the mixed zone with a big smile on his face. It seemed transfer speculation was the furthest thing from his mind as he continued his longstanding and friendly dodging of the local press.

This interaction, perhaps more than any other conversation on either side, was the clearest. Liverpool may still have days to go before they can be reassured about their star’s future, but the signs are certainly positive for Reds fans.
