Liverpool is ahead of the Euro giants in the race to sign the 15-goal midfield player that Arne Slot desires.

Liverpool has not yet begun their summer transfer window in terms of new hires.

After the season ended, a few players departed the Reds, but none have since joined.

Arne Slot, the new manager of Liverpool, has begun working at the Merseyside team in order to get the Reds ready for the upcoming campaign.

It is unclear how the Premier League’s biggest clubs will handle the transition phase that will follow Jurgen Klopp’s departure.

Slot, though, might sign a player this summer that he has already managed.

Teun Koopmeiners, a midfielder for Atalanta, is reportedly more desirable to the Reds than to Juventus, according to CalcioMercato.

Since his outstanding performances for the Italian team attracted the interest of some of the major European teams, the midfield player has been linked to a move away from Atalanta during the summer.

The Dutch midfielder assisted Atalanta in winning the Europa League last season, and they defeated Klopp’s Liverpool team en route.

The midfielder is eager to join the Old Lady, and Juventus had been mentioned as the front-runners to sign him.

According to the Italian source, Atalanta wants to release its top player for a transfer fee of almost €60 million.

However, because of their financial limitations, the Bianconeri are only willing to make an offer of about €40 million.

Juventus has made the decision to add a player through a trade, but Atalanta prefers for the deal to be entirely financial and player-free.

Liverpool is ahead in the contest to sign Koopmeiners from Atalanta.

Liverpool now has the financial capacity to finalise the signing of the Dutch midfielder thanks to this most recent development.

Last season, Koopmeiners was Atalanta’s standout player with a total of 15 goals scored, 12 in Serie A and 3 more in the Coppa Italia.

Since they worked together at AZ Alkmaar, Arne Slot knows the player, and he would be thrilled to collaborate with him once more.

The Dutch team just missed out on winning the Eredivisie championship in 2020 due to goal differential.

More news……

The £70 million double transaction that brought Chelsea’s wonderkid to Liverpool has been revealed.

Rio Ngumoha, a 15-year-old sensation from Chelsea, is anticipated to sign a record-breaking scholar’s deal at Anfield this summer and go to Liverpool.

One of the best players in Chelsea’s junior system, Ngumoha turns 16 later this month, and the London team was reportedly incensed by his departure.

Lewis Steele of the Mail claims that Ngumoha is “motivated by the pathway and opportunities on offer” at the Reds, partly because of Liverpool’s Carabao Cup success over Chelsea at Wembley last season.

After Omari Kellyman was acquired from Aston Villa for almost £20 million, the youthful attacking potential found it much harder to make a breakthrough at Stamford Bridge.

Meanwhile, two South American wonderkids who turn 18 next summer will join the team.

NGUMOHA CHELSEA PATHWAY HINDERED

For a combined cost of over £70 million, Estevao Willian, a potential from Palmeiras, and Kendry Paez, a wonder from Ecuador, will join the Premier League’s biggest clubs.

Since those agreements have already been finalised, Ngumoha is now searching elsewhere for his opportunities.

HITC claims Chelsea officials are reportedly incensed about the England under-18 international’s impending transfer.

The club was certain that Ngumoha would remain on the books for the long run, even if Arsenal, Manchester United, and Manchester City were also interested.

Liverpool Purchasing Teen Talent

Prior to this transfer window, it was also believed that Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich—who had previously signed Jamal Musiala from Chelsea’s youth ranks—were pursuing the teenager.

The Reds, who have a history of bringing in talent from other teams’ academies, have pulled off a major coup with his signing.

Regulations following Brexit have significantly increased the difficulty of acquiring young talent from the EU, which has allowed the Reds to recruit youngsters such as Trey Nyoni and Ben Doak.

Alvin Ayman, a highly touted Wolves prospect, is also rumoured to be close to a transfer.

Ryan McAidoo is another Chelsea target that the Reds just missed out on; it appears he is close to joining Manchester City.
