Liverpool transfer news: A Jurgen Klopp ‘target’ could move this summer, although a deal with the Reds would be difficult. Meanwhile, Juventus want a $66m offer.

The transfer rumor has skyrocketed over the past two days, but the plan for Liverpool remains the same: find value in the market and try to find more bargains in a bloated landscape.

On Monday, MARCA claimed Liverpool for a transfer fee in excess of $300m (£236m/€274m) was a realistic target for Kylian Mbappé, while Spanish newspaper El Nacional reported that a bid of $77m was worth it (£60m/€70m). was submitted by the Reds for Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde. We’ve covered those reports here.

Today there are more updates from the world of transfers, with more big claims from Italy centering on Juventus striker Federico Chiesa, while there is also an update on a Everton player previously scouted by Liverpool.

With the transfer season just getting started, we can expect many more players to be linked with a move to Anfield over the coming weeks, although Khéphren Thuram is a more likely name than others to join the Merseyside then.

Federico Chiesa (Juventus)

Juventus are ‘hoping’ someone will sign for Chiesa, 25, this summer, Italian publication Corriere della Sera (translated from ‘Football Italia’) reports, with the Serie A club up for sale. Max Allegri’s side need to cut their wage bill and Chiesa is someone who could be sacrificed.

This could explain the links with Liverpool, while Aston Villa are another option according to Gianluca Di Marzio, but the player is not thrilled. Newcastle United could also come to the table for the player, who is valued at $66m (£52m/€60m)

Liverpool.com says: Signing another striker is not the priority for Liverpool this summer, with midfielders and defenders needing to be acquired before they can be thought about.

Chiesa is a standout player with an erratic injury record and while there may be reason to spend a smaller amount on him, at $66 million, that seems like too big a gamble when there are other priorities to contend with.

Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton)

Everton young defender Jarrad Branthwaite wants to leave this summer due to interest from elsewhere, reports Football Insider.

West Ham United have shown interest, the report said, while the Daily Mail has previously said Liverpool, Manchester United and AS Roma discovered him during his loan spell at PSV.

Liverpool are in the hunt for a left-back this summer but signing Branthwaite from Everton would be a difficult task. The last player to join the Reds directly from Everton was Abel Xavier in January 2002.

Liverpool.com says: Branthwaite is clearly a good talent and it’s no surprise there’s interest elsewhere. He meets many of Liverpool’s criteria (left-footed, homegrown, etc.), but bringing him over from Everton would almost be a non-starter.

If he moves elsewhere first, the 21-year-old centre-back could perhaps reappear on the Reds’ radar in the future.

Liverpool’s 24-year-old player will be fantastic, according to Jurgen Klopp, next season.

Jurgen Klopp would expect Darwin Nunez to shine for Liverpool next season after an uneven first year in the Premier League at Anfield.

According to Athletic, the German manager has high expectations for the 24-year-old striker, who scored 15 goals in his first season on Merseyside after Nunez completed a blockbuster transfer from Benfica to Liverpool that could cost up to £85m.

With Roberto Firmino leaving Liverpool, Nunez is expected to be given more minutes as Klopp looks to split playing time between his five-star strikers. And the Uruguayan international could make a name for himself in the new season.

In UEFA Europa League football, Nunez could become a Liverpool regular, making Klopp’s new task of juggling the team’s fitness while challenging for the Premier League title a challenge the former Benfica star could happily accept.

With Nunez now more accustomed to the Premier League and playing for Liverpool, fans expect him to improve on his goalscoring tally from last season, a feat the 24-year-old could easily match if he gives his brand new season. .

Klopp is right to demand more of Nunez in his second season at Liverpool

Nunez arrived at Liverpool this summer with one of Europe’s biggest shouts and while 15 goals isn’t a bad tally for a striker making his Premier League debut, many fans and critics were expecting more. . And Klopp has every right to demand more from the striker next season.

In fact, Nunez has grown in confidence with every game in England and for Liverpool.

And with the Reds entering a whole new world with the Europa League next year, the South American talisman could become the attacking leader of the Anfield side if all goes well for the former Benfica star.
