According to report: Liverpool is prepared to spend £69 million to sign a Brazilian, but wants a cheaper deal.
Liverpool were keen to sign Brazilian international Raphinha in last summer’s transfer window, but the player opted to move to Barcelona instead.

Now reports indicate that the South American star could leave the Camp Nou this summer and the Reds are after him once again.

According to the Spanish source Nacional, the 26-year-old winger has a non-existent relationship with coach Xavi Hernandez and the Blaugrana are willing to negotiate his transfer.

The offer Liverpool have prepared for Raphinha is worth €50m, but the Catalan giants are asking for a whopping €80m (£69m).

Barça signed him for £55m last summer and he directly contributed 22 goals (10 goals and 12 assists) in all competitions last season. The Anfield club wants the Seleção winger to put pressure on Barcelona so that a cheaper deal can be reached for his purchase.

Raphinha has shown the quality of him in the Premier League. He made 65 league appearances and contributed directly to 29 goals for the Elland Road side.

The versatile striker can play on either flank but obviously likes to cut his favorite left foot off the right wing.
Our first choice at right wing is Mohamed Salah, an irreplaceable man in the starting eleven. However, Klopp has no one to cover him when he’s out of shape.

A player like Raphinha will greatly improve the depth and quality of the team. How much do you think Liverpool should offer to sign him?

Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group consider buying NBA expansion franchise

Fenway Sports Group could acquire an NBA team sooner than expected after league commissioner Adam Silver hinted the wheels could be in motion as early as next year.

Liverpool owners FSG have been linked for some time with buying an expansion franchise in the world’s premier basketball league as the NBA is set to grow from its current 30 teams to 32 over the coming seasons, a development that caused potential bidders to become alarmed.

FSG co-founder and Liverpool chairman Tom Werner has previously openly expressed interest in adding an NBA team to a portfolio that already includes the Reds, Boston Red Sox (MLB), Pittsburgh Penguins (NHL) and RFK Racing ( NASCAR). .

It’s a move that would almost certainly put basketball icon and FSG partner LeBron James, who has made no secret of his desire to own and manage an NBA team in the future, with an emphasis especially in Las Vegas.

The Nevada desert will almost certainly have an NBA team during the expansion, with Las Vegas becoming one with the arrival of teams like the Las Vegas Raiders (NHL) and Las Vegas Golden Knights (NHL) in recent years, Sports Mecca s is developed.

The Oakland Athletics baseball team will also move to the city after spending $1.5 billion to acquire land for a new stadium. Formula 1 will bring a grand prix to Las Vegas for the first time later this year as the city is now a booming sports market

FSG has an interest in an expansion franchise, with Las Vegas in mind rather than the other likely candidate, Seattle, and they are an ownership group that would be leading preferred bidders for an expansion franchise of the NBA from a league leadership perspective.

There were a few issues that needed to be resolved before talks could begin on new franchises, with the NBA players’ union and the league itself expected to reach an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) by 2029. It was finally approved this week.

The next item on the agenda is a new round of media rights, which should be negotiated next spring. Once that’s over, Silver gave his clearest sign yet, saying the league “will look to expansion.” Silver added that the NBA “doesn’t have anything specific in mind right now” but that “it will make sense over time.”

Last month, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell said he expected a new expansion team to arrive in less than five years.

Once TV media negotiations are finalized and attention is turned to expansion, the process will begin in earnest to find new markets for the teams and then new owners.

The starting price is expected to exceed $2.5 billion, with that amount shared among existing member clubs, who are expected to vote on any proposed league expansion.

The expansion of its North American sports portfolio has become more relevant for FSG due to greater cost certainty due to the closed nature of the professional league ecosystem in the United States.

The Reds’ owners have also scaled back somewhat on their plans to expand their football portfolio through a multi-club model.
