Roberto De Zerbi, a target for Liverpool, expresses his feelings after speaking with Bayern Munich

Prior to the summer break, Brighton head coach Roberto De Zerbi is being courted by Bayern Munich and Liverpool, but the Italian has not made up his mind about his future.

Although the Italian coach Roberto De Zerbi is ‘flattered’ by Bayern Munich’s interest, he is not in a hurry to decide on his long-term future.

Since taking over for Graham Potter at Brighton in September 2022, De Zerbi, 44, has made a name for himself as one of the most promising young coaches in Europe. Unfortunately for the Seagulls, other teams have taken note of De Zerbi’s achievements in the Premier League, which include leading the team to its first-ever European campaign.

Many top teams are expected to be looking for a new head coach in the summer, and De Zerbi is being tipped to be a strong candidate for several positions, including one at Liverpool, which will be without Jurgen Klopp at the end of the current season.

Another team that has reportedly expressed interest in De Zerbi is Bayern Munich; Bild is now reporting that the German powerhouses have even had discussions with the Brighton manager. However, it should be mentioned that Xabi Alonso is still their top priority.

De Zerbi is likely to keep all of his options open and not make any decisions regarding his future, as further interest in his services is anticipated in the summer. Despite being ‘fascinated’ by the idea of replacing Thomas Tuchel at the Allianz Arena, De Zerbi is planned to proceed cautiously.

It’s interesting to note that Liverpool is apparently considering Alonso in addition to De Zerbi, who has been shortlisted for the forthcoming Anfield position. Michael Edwards, who is back, hired Richard Hughes as the new sporting director, and he will be in charge of selecting the best player to take over for Klopp.

Given his outstanding record at Bayer Leverkusen, it is believed that Alonso is also Liverpool’s top target. As Klopp’s tenure comes to an end, other coaches like De Zerbi and Ruben Amorim are still being considered by the team.

Uli Hoeness, the honorary president of Bayern Munich, recently acknowledged that the defending Bundesliga champions are making every effort to entice Alonso to return to his former haunts. Leverkusen is optimistic that the Spaniard will decline offers from two of his previous clubs in order to stay in his current position for the upcoming campaign.

“Clubs like Liverpool, Real Madrid, Leverkusen, and FC Bayern are working on it,” he said to Ran Sport. He has demonstrated his ability to be a successful coach.”

Like Klopp, Alonso has a chance to defeat Bayern Munich and win the domestic championship, as Leverkusen is presently leading the race. With ten games remaining in the season, Liverpool trails Arsenal in the Premier League title race, but only by a narrow margin due to goal differential.

South American star was offered the chance to sign with Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United.

According to reports, Gleison Bremer from Juventus has made offers to sign with Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United at the end of the current campaign.

According to a report from HITC, the Premier League clubs have been contacted by intermediaries regarding his availability, and the Italian club may try to sell him at the end of the current campaign.

The Brazilian defender is undoubtedly talented enough to play in the Premier League and has established himself as a key member of the Italian team’s first squad.

It will be intriguing to see if Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United are willing to pay the high price of over £50 million for the Brazilian defender.

United, Chelsea, and Liverpool need Gleison Bremer.

Thiago Silva is expected to leave Chelsea on a free transfer at the end of the current campaign, therefore they will need to find a suitable replacement. Signing his countryman might turn out to be a smart move. The 27-year-old’s willingness to join a team without European football will be interesting to see, since the Blues are unlikely to earn European qualification for the upcoming campaign.

Liverpool, however, also needs depth in their defensive unit. Bremer might end up being a better option than Joel Matip, who will become a free agent in the summer. The Brazilian is currently at the height of his abilities, and the Premier League may see an instant effect from him. The left-footed central defender can also fill in as a temporary full back.

In the meanwhile, Jonny Evans will need to be replaced by Manchester United in the summer, and the Brazilian might end up being a significant improvement.

He might be tempted to join all three clubs, but the asking fee might be a problem. They don’t want to overpay for the defender, and it’s unclear if they can work out a fair deal with the Italian team.

Liverpool is prepared to compete with Real Madrid for a £51 million, highly skilled defender.

Liverpool is now in the running to recruit Lille defender Leny Yoro, with Real Madrid of Spain.

This season, the 18-year-old center-half has become one of Ligue 1’s breakout stars, drawing interest from several top teams around Europe.

Yoro has long been the target of Real Madrid and PSG, but it appears that other teams have also shown interest in the midfielder.

Liverpool has joined the Yoro race.

Liverpool and Real Madrid are willing to fight for the acquisition of Lille’s Leny Yoro, according to MARCA (h/t 90 Min).

The young French defender may be pursued by the Reds, who are hoping to add a defender during the summer transfer window.

French prodigy is anticipated to come with a price tag of approximately £51 million. Yoro’s signature is reportedly being pursued by Chelsea, which would increase competition for the young player.

Yoro, who is only eighteen years old, has become a mainstay for Lille’s defence. Throughout 35 games across all competitions, he has scored three goals.

The centre back is the best option because Real Madrid’s defence lacks depth, which has been evident this season and makes it an important position to bolster in the summer.

The favourites to sign Liverpool target are La Liga leaders.

Despite the increasing competition, Real Madrid is likely to have an advantage over the other teams fighting for Yoro’s services.

The 18-year-old defensive prospect’s desire to relocate to Santiago Bernabeu is the reason behind this.

Since Yoro’s contract expires in 2025, the Spanish powerhouses are reluctant to pay a premium for the player, which could present issues down the road if Lille demands a larger price.

So, it’s still unclear where the 18-year-old will spend the summer.

Richard Hughes might use Liverpool’s Pep Lijnders technique once more as the “next” Alonso Xabi desires a transfer.

This summer, Xabi Alonso might take over as manager of Liverpool under Richard Hughes. Additionally, he might negotiate for his heir to join the Reds’ playing roster.

When Richard Hughes starts working at Liverpool, he will have a lot on his plate. Arriving formally on June 1st, the new sporting director will have a long list of tasks to complete.

Of course, the first priority will be appointing a new manager to succeed Jürgen Klopp. Xabi Alonso is the overwhelming favourite, but Bayern Munich will undoubtedly pose a threat.

After that, Hughes’ job at Anfield will be to bring in the first players of the new era. He might already have one option in front of him.

By now, Liverpool supporters will be well acquainted with Teun Koopmeiners. Although a transfer has never happened, the Atalanta midfielder’s name has frequently appeared in transfer market rumours.

Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Liverpool has been keeping an eye on the former AZ Alkmaar player, but Juventus is equally determined to keep him in Italy. Atalanta would likely be seeking $54 million (£43 million/€50 million), albeit it’s possible that the player overplayed their hand.

Koopmeiners has acknowledged that he is interested in joining the Premier League and wants to go this summer. “Last year, Napoli showed definite interest. Ultimately, though, the two teams were unable to come to a consensus. I told Atalanta that I wanted to move in the upcoming summer,” he said to the De Telegraaf.

While my fiancée and I are enjoying our time in Italy, I could even put up with the wet days at select clubs in England. I’m hoping opportunities arise so I can consider it. If I claimed I was unaware of the interest Juventus and Premier League teams have shown in me, I would be lying.”

Liverpool’s interest in Koopmeiners, a Dutch international, may be taken seriously. With Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk at Anfield, there’s no denying the Dutch influence. Pep Lijnders, Klopp’s assistant, was instrumental in the team’s purchase of Cody Gakpo. He is well-known for closely monitoring players from his native country, and Ryan Gravenberch joined him in the summer.

Thus, Lijnders will surely be familiar with Koopmeiners, who captained AZ Alkmaar and was a formidable force in the Eredivisie before relocating to Serie A, where he has once again shown promise. At the conclusion of the season, Lijnders and Klopp will undoubtedly part ways, but maybe Hughes will feel some of his impact.

Without a doubt, Koopmeiners is the kind of player who can contribute in the latter third. Importantly, though, he is also a versatile player for Liverpool in terms of tactics.

Koopmeiners excels when he has the ball and is most effective in a holding midfield role. However, he can also play in more advanced areas, much like Georginio Wijnaldum did.

Koopmeiners is gifted with exceptional technique, but he also possesses a special ability to hit the ball. In addition to his exceptional long ball distribution, which allows the midfielder to send defense-splitting passes across the pitch, he is also capable of hitting the target from long range.

Koopmeiners reminds me a lot of Xabi Alonso in terms of his technique and poise when handling the ball. If he were to join Liverpool, the Reds wouldn’t likely have had a player like that since the manager of Bayern Leverkusen.

Of course, another important component of Klopp’s strategy is the long ball. If Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, for example, were encouraged to make deep, penetrating passes to switch plays, Koopmeiners would be a perfect fit if that kind of style were to be used following Klopp’s departure.

After rebuilding last summer, midfield may not be a top priority for Liverpool, but nothing is off the table with a new manager in charge. Koopmeiners may prove to be Alonso’s midfield successor if he is appointed as the new manager.

Richard Hughes has been given ‘the Green Light’ on Liverpool Managerial Talks

Richard Hughes, the new sporting director of Liverpool, has been given “the green light” to begin working on projects at Anfield before the summer.

The “green light” has been given to Richard Hughes, the new sports director of Liverpool, by his current employers, AFC Bournemouth, to begin the process of selecting Jurgen Klopp’s replacement at Anfield.

With Klopp’s announcement that he will be leaving the team at the end of the 2023–2024 season, the Reds are searching for a replacement manager.

Although Hughes’ appointment as the Merseyside giants’ new sporting director was formally confirmed on March 20, he will take up his new position on June 1.

As journalist Ben Jacobs reports that Xabi Alonso is still the “leading candidate” at Anfield, Richard Hughes, the next sports director of Liverpool, has been granted the “green light” by his current employers, AFC Bournemouth, to begin the process of selecting a manager to succeed Jurgen Klopp.

With Klopp out of the picture for the first time in almost ten years, the Reds are anticipating a summer filled with big changes. Since taking over in 2015, the current head coach has made it known that he will step down at the conclusion of the 2023–2024 campaign.

Hughes and Michael Edwards, the chief executive of football operations at Fenway Sports Group, need to appoint a deserving successor to the Liverpool icon. Leading lights in European football have taken notice of Alonso, who is having a fantastic season at Bayer Leverkusen, ahead of the summer.

Hughes’ hiring is confirmed by Liverpool
Liverpool officially announced Richard Hughes’ appointment as their new sporting director on March 20. After just six months at Anfield, Jorg Schmadtke departed his position at the end of the 2024 winter transfer window, and the 44-year-old takes his place.

Michael Edwards appointed Hughes, who will formally assume his duties at the AXA Training Centre on June 1st, ahead of the 2024–2025 campaign. The Scot, who is presently AFC Bournemouth’s technical director, must still play out the rest of the season with the club. Hughes expressed his gratitude on Liverpool’s official website after receiving confirmation of his appointment, saying he was “incredibly proud” to have been given the chance:

“I am so honoured to have been given this chance. I’m honoured to have the opportunity to work with Liverpool FC, a special team, in this role.

“I understand exactly what is expected of me in this role, as well as my obligations. Making wise judgements will be my responsibility in collaboration with Michael [Edwards], as I will be in charge of the football operations team that is now in place as well as the larger AXA Training Centre workforce.

It is anticipated that Hughes would appoint his first team member at Liverpool soon in order to assemble a squad that may surpass the accomplishments of the previous administration. Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Mark Burchill, the chief scout for Bournemouth, will accompany the technical director of the Cherries to Anfield. The 43-year-old and Liverpool are set to sign a deal soon, but one has already been agreed upon. This indicates that Burchill, Edwards, and Hughes will be a part of the new team that is anticipated to usher in a new era for the Reds.

Ben Jacobs: Hughes has “jobs to do” prior to his start date at Liverpool on 1st of June.

According to Jacobs, despite Hughes’ official start date of June at Liverpool, the Reds and Bournemouth have a “very good relationship” that permits the new sporting director to start working on projects right now. The journalist believes Hughes has been given the “all clear” to begin the process of finding and selecting Klopp’s replacement. Telling GIVEMESPORT, Jacobs

“Everyone has been very open and honest, and Bournemouth and Liverpool have a great relationship.” Therefore, Hughes is free to start working on finding a replacement for Klopp, and Bournemouth is totally cool with that. Although June 1st is the official start date, he has work to do and will be transparent about it. Xabi Alonso is the main prospect for Liverpool. The sources don’t hide that. But it’s a meticulous procedure, as usual with Liverpool.”

Liverpool’s most recent pursuit of Xabi Alonso latest

According to Jacobs, who spoke with GIVEMESPORT on March 19, Hughes’ connection to Xabi Alonso’s agent may give Liverpool a small edge over Bayern Munich in the competition to recruit the manager of Bayer Leverkusen. The Cherries’ current manager, Andoni Iraola, who has the same agent as Alonso, was hired with assistance from the technical director of Bournemouth. The strong bond the two have developed may have an impact on the decision made by the 42-year-old head coach.

Uli Hoeness, the honorary president of Bayern Munich, recently told Ran Sport that Liverpool and the Bundesliga’s top teams are vying for Alonso’s services. With eight games left in the 2023–24 season, the former midfielder—who played for both Anfield and the Allianz Arena—looks to be leading Bayer Leverkusen to their first league title. He has helped the team open a ten-point lead over Bayern.

Richard Hughes to make the incredible first signing of a talent who eluded Michael Edwards twice at Liverpool.

Richard Hughes might be able to assist Liverpool in signing a Bournemouth player that Michael Edwards twice failed to sign, and Hughes’ presence would make sense considering the departure of a star player for Jurgen Klopp.

An attempt by FSG, the owners of Liverpool, to rehire Michael Edwards earlier in March was successful. Between 2011 and 22, Edwards did amazing things for Liverpool, and he was hailed as the man who set the pieces in place so that the Reds could succeed under Jurgen Klopp.

Edwards is back at FSG serving as the group CEO of Football. Richard Hughes will take over as sporting director at Anfield, reporting directly to Edwards, replacing Jorg Schmadtke. Hughes agreed to join Liverpool, but he left the Cherries earlier in March.

On June 1, the 44-year-old will begin working for Liverpool. However, the Liverpool Echo claims that we may already be aware of his first signing.

Lloyd Kelly, a defender for Bournemouth, is also set to depart the Cherries concurrently with Hughes’ arrival at the Reds.

When his contract expires at the end of the current campaign, the versatile 25-year-old left-footer is expected to become a free agent. Bournemouth is still hopeful that they can work out an extension, but there’s no guarantee Kelly will agree to new conditions.

Kelly, who can play centre back or left back with equal comfort, is reportedly of interest to AC Milan. Following Bournemouth’s rejection of a £20 million bid for the midfielder last summer, Tottenham has kept an eye on the youngster.

Kelly in, Matip out?

But Liverpool is also impressed with Kelly, and since Joel Matip is likely to be let go after his contract expires, adding Kelly makes sense.

Matip, 32, is out of contract this summer and is not likely to receive a new contract offer from FSG because he recently had ACL surgery.

Kelly is portrayed by The Liverpool Echo as Hughes’ possible first Merseyside acquisition. Furthermore, back in 2019, Hughes was the one who annoyed Liverpool by enticing Kelly to Bournemouth.

Kelly was on the roster of Bristol City when Liverpool, then under the direction of Michael Edwards, made an inquiry about signing him.

But Hughes and Bournemouth outperformed the Reds, completing Kelly’s £13 million signing.

Paul Joyce of the Times claims that after Hughes’ coup, Edwards called to congratulate his rival.

Joyce writes, “To Liverpool’s dismay, Hughes was successful in convincing defender Lloyd Kelly to turn down Merseyside’s offer and move to Bournemouth in May 2019 for £13 million.”

“That transaction led to a reluctant, congrats phone call from Michael Edwards, Liverpool’s sporting director at the time, to Hughes.”

Hughes’ next career move has now been made possible by Edwards’ appointment as chief executive of football at Liverpool’s owner, Fenway Sports Group.

Kelly and Liverpool, third times lucky?
A year later, The Liverpool Echo also draws attention to another chance that Edwards and the Reds failed to seize.

Kelly was relegated to the Championship in his debut season as a member of Bournemouth. Liverpool was among the teams that made rapid inquiries about the player.

Kelly continued to evade Liverpool at the moment, but Klopp was still searching for a left-sided defender. Rather, Kostas Tsimikas, a Greek left-back, signed for £11.75 million from Olympiacos.

In the present day, the Echo is promoting the notion that Liverpool has at last acquired Kelly. The fact that there will be no transfer fees to pay now that he is available makes the move even more alluring.

With Edwards leading the team and Hughes pulling the strings—both of whom are obviously huge supporters of Kelly—a long-awaited move to Anfield may finally be imminent.

The adaptable 18-year-old defender on Arsenal’s and Manchester United’s radar is being closely watched by Liverpool.

At the end of the current campaign, Liverpool is interested in signing Ajax defender Jorrel Hato.

According to a Football Insider report, Liverpool is reportedly keeping a close eye on the 18-year-old defender and may attempt to make a move for him at the end of the current campaign.

Hato can play as a fullback even if his natural position is centre defender. He might end up being a great long-term addition for Liverpool.

The 18-year-old is well-regarded throughout Europe, and Liverpool has the potential to develop him into a vital player. They will have competition from Manchester United and Arsenal, since they are not the only English team interested in the defender.

Jorrel Hato would make Manchester United and Liverpool better.

Joel Matip will become a free agent in the summer, therefore Liverpool needs to find a capable replacement, and Hato most definitely meets the bill.

In signing Hato, Arsenal would be taking a chance as they already have a lot of central defenders at their disposal. The 18-year-old has to sign with a place where he can play a lot in the first team, which Arsenal may not be able to provide.

In the meanwhile, Manchester United could use some defensive reinforcements—especially considering that players like Jonny Evans are expected to leave in the summer. In the upcoming seasons, he might establish a strong defensive tandem with Lisandro Martinez at the centre of Manchester United’s lineup, proving to be a worthy successor to Evans.

It’s unclear where the left-footed central defender ends up, but he’s probably drawn to the prospect of joining Manchester United and Liverpool in the summer.

It was the right decision for Jürgen Klopp to alter Liverpool’s transfer strategy for the amazing ace who is now considered ‘world class’.

Since the 1-1 draw with Man City, Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has been highlighting the strengths of several players. One midfield player is not to be disregarded.

If you had been informed in the summer that Liverpool would play Manchester City at Anfield in March, with Joe Gomez starting at left-back, Conor Bradley and Jarell Quansah making up half of the defence, and Wataru Endō among the first names on the roster, you could have been forgiven for questioning what had gone wrong.

When Jürgen Klopp made roster changes to his Liverpool club last summer, that was not the team that was expected. On the injury front, however, nobody could have predicted anything near to what transpired. Up to ten players, including certain starters like Alisson and Ibrahima Konaté, were sidelined, while Mohamed Salah was limited to 30 minutes of action off the bench.

But what happened at Anfield in a match that could have been crucial in the three-way fight for the Premier League title was not at all what many had anticipated a few months ago. Liverpool felt disappointed not to win by the end. Alexis Mac Allister ought to have won a second spot-kick, and Luis Díaz had opportunities.

A reversal in the second half was essential to all of that. Liverpool was still very much in the game, but Manchester City rightly led after the first forty-five minutes of play. However, Liverpool was clearly in the lead after the half.

The midfield was the source of it all. Kevin De Bruyne had discovered spaces earlier in the game, but those gaps had closed. Erling Haaland had very little chance to kick, and the balls into Phil Foden were blocked at the source.

The running that Endō, Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Harvey Elliott completed was essential to everything. The 31-year-old Endō played with the intensity of a player ten years younger.

“What do you anticipate? that the 30-year-old Japanese skipper you sign would be an exceptional player in the Premier League?” stated Klopp in a post-Manchester City interview with BBC Sport.

“We thought he would be a terrific player, but what he’s doing with that role, whether it be with Macca, Dom, or Harvey—what a game he played, by the way— You never know when someone can reach world-class status, but that’s exactly what transpired.”

That really is a great compliment. However, it is not uncalled for. With more than 20 minutes of regular time remaining, De Bruyne was substituted by Endō, who played an outstanding game against Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola concluded that Mateo Kovačić was the person needed to help turn the tide. By then, Endō, Mac Allister, and Elliott were winning the midfield battle, and Manchester City’s major creator was out of the game.

Endō was not your average Liverpool transfer. He was well over the age the Reds typically move for at thirty. However, Klopp and previous sporting director Jörg Schmadtke were completely justified in their $21 million (£16 million/€19 million) transfer; it is difficult to envision Moisés Caicedo, who would have cost about seven times as much, having an influence similar to Endō’s this season

Returning to Liverpool FC as “head of football,” Michael Edwards AGREES

Michael Edwards, the former sports director, has consented to rejoin Liverpool FC as head of football operations.

Merseyside reporters, including Paul Joyce of the Times, confirmed the news, which surfaced on Tuesday morning following reports over the weekend suggesting that a deal was close.

Owners Fenway Sports Group has pulled off a significant coup by convincing 44-year-old Edwards to return to Anfield two years after he left the team.

As the club’s sporting director, Edwards oversaw the acquisition of players like Mohamed Salah, Alisson, Fabinho, Sadio Mane, and Virgil van Dijk, all of whom had a significant impact on the club’s transition.

Additionally, he successfully negotiated high exit fees for players, most notably the £142 million deal that saw Philippe Coutinho depart to Barcelona.

Richard Hughes, who is expected to join the team from Bournemouth, will now work beneath him as sporting director following his return.

After serving as Bournemouth’s technical director for over ten years, Hughes revealed his impending resignation earlier in March.

Since leaving Liverpool in the summer of 2022, Edwards has declined offers from Man United and Chelsea. It is widely believed that part of the reason for his departure was because manager Jurgen Klopp was granted more authority over contracts and trades.

Since Klopp is expected to leave the team in three months, Edwards will now be in charge of selecting the German’s replacement, with Xabi Alonso thought to be the front-runner.

In the eyes of supporters, Liverpool can start a new chapter after Klopp with the triad of Edwards, Hughes, and Alonso.

“Luring Edwards back to Liverpool is a coup for FSG, and ends a prolonged period of negotiation led by John W. Henry and Michael Gordon,” explains Chris Bascombe of the Telegraph.

“Gordon, another crucial player going forward who is still in charge of club strategy, was determined to bring Edwards back and thought it was extremely important given the enormous hole that Klopp is leaving behind.”

It is rumoured that FSG met with Edwards multiple times to try to convince him to come back to Anfield, and they should be commended for making sure this happened.

It is probable that Edwards will assume certain responsibilities from FSG president Mike Gordon and current CEO Billy Hogan, who have both recently stated that changes are coming to their positions within the company.

Since the contracts of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, and Salah expire in the summer of 2025, extending them will be Edwards’ first priority in the first few months of his comeback.

Liverpool sends scouts to see the £60 million midfield player against Arsenal.

According to sources, Liverpool dispatched scouts to study Alan Varela, a £60 million transfer target, during Porto’s Champions League victory over Arsenal last week.

Since moving from Boca Juniors in his home Argentina to Portuguese club Porto in August, the 22-year-old defensive midfielder has drawn attention.

Leading teams are allegedly keeping an eye on Varela’s status in anticipation of a potential transfer at the end of the current campaign.

Seven of the Argentine’s twenty-eight outings for Porto have come in the Champions League.

Porto qualified for the round of sixteen after finishing second behind Barcelona thanks to his assistance in winning four of their six group games.

Prior to their second meeting at the Emirates on March 12, Porto leads Arsenal 1-0 from the first leg. A quarterfinal spot is up for grabs.

“We achieved a fantastic outcome,” Pepe declared. We need to be even more concentrated than we were today because it will be even harder in London. We must be faultless.

Galeno’s goal was crucial to our hopes of making it to the quarterfinals. We were aware that the game would be difficult.

“We put on a great show and won with a great goal, but Arsenal has a lot of quality.”

Report: Liverpool makes a bid for the Brazilian wonderkid known as “the next Mbappe.”

Liverpool is preparing for the future by making a significant offer for a South American talent.

An bid for a highly regarded Brazilian prospect who has drawn comparisons to Kylian Mbappe is being made by Liverpool.

The Reds demonstrated on Sunday why Anfield’s future is incredibly bright, despite manager Jurgen Klopp’s expected departure at the conclusion of the season after nine years in charge. A number of promising young players concluded the match at Wembley, with Liverpool showcasing the strength of their academy in the last moments.

But not just the players rising through the ranks have made an impression on Merseyside; the team is working hard to attract young players of exceptional potential, and one teenager from South America might be the next in line.

According to journalist Jorge Nicola of TEAMtalk, a proposal of over £30 million is expected to be made for Palmeiras wonderkid Luis Guilherme in the near future.

The attacker, who was born in 2006, is a fast-rising star in South America who has drawn similarities to Kylian Mbappe. He came out of the Verdão production line at the same time as Endrick, who is headed to Real Madrid. After months of scouting the talent, Liverpool is reportedly prepared to make a bid

Liverpool is currently supposedly leading the fight for Guilherme, however Chelsea and Bayern Munich are rumoured to be interested as well.

After scoring 40 goals in a young team competition in Japan, Joao Paulo Sampaio, the youth director of Palmeiras, declared, “He’s a very special player.” The 18-year-old has already garnered great accolades from pundits and experts who have observed him in Brazil.

What is Trent Kone-Doherty’s current status at Liverpool, then? Let’s examine this.

Trent Kone-Doherty is really impressing at Liverpool

The Liverpool academy is doing quite well at the moment.

In a momentous occasion for the Reds, Liverpool defeated Chelsea 1-0 in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, with players such as Jayden Danns, James McConnell, Bobby Clark, Conor Bradley, and Jarell Quansah contributing to the victory. Jurgen Klopp looked on with pride.

Not even on the bench at Wembley on Sunday, though, is another young talent at Anfield that is drawing attention.

According to The Daily Mail, Kone-Doherty is poised to be the next brilliant player to come out of Liverpool’s assembly line.

Additionally mentioned were Kieran Morrison and Cody Pennington.

In 20 games this season, Kone-Doherty has remarkably scored 11 goals and provided two assists.

Trent Kone-Doherty: who is he?

Trent Alexander-Arnold is one Trent that Liverpool has already turned into a superstar; Kone-Doherty might be the next.

A true livewire, the Republic of Ireland U19 international can play on either wing.

The wonderkid from Derry is referred to be a “tricky and exciting winger blessed with great pace” on Liverpool’s official website.

This season, Kone-Doherty has played on the left seven times and the right seven times.

Remarkably, according to Transfermarkt, eight of his eleven goals have come from the left flank.

Klopp even summoned Kone-Doherty into senior training back in October, so Anfield employees have been exposed to his skills for a number of months now.

Diogo Jota delivers a one-word assessment following the contentious Liverpool incident in the Carabao Cup final.

Virgil van Dijk’s strike gave Liverpool the lead against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final, but a VAR check resulted in the goal being disallowed.

Diogo Jota, a sidelined forward for Liverpool, appeared to admit his surprise at what he had seen at a contentious moment in the Carabao Cup final with a one word response.

At Wembley Stadium, Liverpool believed it had defeated Chelsea when, in the 60th minute, Virgil van Dijk headed an Andy Robertson free-kick into the goal. Wataru Endō was deemed to be offside on the set piece, hence the goal was disallowed after a VAR check instructed the referee to examine a potential offside.

Shortly afterward, the Portuguese pro Jota shared a mysterious message on social media with the word “Uau,” which translates to “Wow” in English. The former Wolves striker is currently healing from a knee injury he got during Liverpool’s 4-1 victory over Brentford last week, so he was unable to play in the match at Wembley.

Eleven players from Liverpool’s first team—including Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, Darwin Núñez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson Becker, Thiago Alcântara, Curtis Jones, Stefan Bajčetić, JoÑl Matip, and Ben Doak—are currently sidelined due to injuries.

Liverpool may add a player to their list of injuries during the game as they prepare to try to handle three more chances to win trophy in the upcoming days, weeks, and months. Following a tackle from Chelsea’s Moisés Caicedo, Ryan Gravenberch was carted off the pitch with what seemed to be an ankle injury.

Now that Gravenberch’s injury is serious, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp must wait anxiously to learn more, as the Reds truly risk losing another star to injury. To Klopp’s dismay on the sidelines, referee Chris Kavanagh did not issue Caicedo a red card for his tackle; in fact, the midfield player just received a ticket.

Van Dijk’s goal was chalked out, but Liverpool came back to win, and in the 118th minute, he would rise again to seal an unexpected victory. After a fierce battle in London, the captain’s single header proved to be enough to defeat the Blues.

“All the young boys on the pitch,” captain Van Dijk remarked, referring to the game’s winning goal scorer. It’s amazing Extremely pleased with the group. tense match for both teams.

“Both they and we had opportunities. Incredible, first trophy as captain of Liverpool. “Let’s enjoy it,” he replied, going on to discuss his objective later. He went on, “I didn’t want to sustain any injuries! I attempted to stand quickly, but I was unable.”

Additionally, Van Dijk stated, “It’s emotion, it’s everything.” I’m very happy for the boys. Every young lad contributing to what we accomplished today. It’s amazing and continues on.”

The manager of Liverpool, Klopp, continued, saying: “The team, a squad, an academy full of character.” I’m overjoyed to have been a part of that tonight. The most absurd aspect is that we earned it. Both they and we experienced lucky times. The boys turned up, which was awesome.”

Report: Xabi Alonso response to Liverpool job after contact made

Xabi Alonso, a legend of Liverpool, has been linked to a return to Anfield ever since Jurgen Klopp made his departure known.

According to reports, Liverpool has gotten in touch with Xabi Alonso to gauge his interest in succeeding Jurgen Klopp after the German retires this summer.

The French publication Foot Mercato has confirmed this, chasing rumours that linked the Bayer Leverkusen manager to a reunion with his old team nearly as soon as Klopp declared his choice last month.

During his time at Anfield, Alonso was a hugely popular player. Under Rafa Benitez, his elegant midfield stylings were crucial to their victories in the 2005 Champions League, the 2006 FA Cup, and their most convincing Premier League run to date, which ended in a narrow loss to Manchester United in 2009.

After leaving the team that summer, Alonso spent his last seasons at Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. He then turned to coaching, beginning his managerial career with Real Sociedad B until joining Leverkusen in 2022.

The former Spanish international is currently leading the team to their first-ever Bundesliga championship after doing admirably in the role. After defeating Bayern of second place 3-0 on Saturday, Leverkusen leads the table by five points with 13 games remaining and an undefeated record.

It makes sense, then, that Alonso has played coy about the speculations that he is interested in joining Liverpool, stating only that he is content with his current position and committed to finishing the task at hand.

In Foot Mercato’s reporting, that position has been reaffirmed without specific quotations, implying that they have independently investigated the matter.

Although Liverpool leads the table by just two points above Manchester City and Arsenal—the latter of which has a game in hand—Jurgen Klopp is hoping to end his career on a high note.

Next weekend, Liverpool will play Chelsea in the League Cup final at Wembley before taking on Southampton in the FA Cup fifth round. Next Friday, they will also find out who their opponents are in the Europa League round of 16.

‘Huge’ transfer kitty from FSG to be received by Liverpool’s new manager

The transfer budget that Liverpool will provide its next manager is enormous; only one Premier League team could match them.

Football Insider has been informed by sources that Liverpool plans to make significant summer window purchases in anticipation of selecting a new director of football and manager.

The Premier League’s Financial Fair Play regulations and off-field factors including as Jurgen Klopp’s departure are thought to have hindered the Reds’ ability to make significant purchases in January.

Just 17 permanent moves were completed in the English top division during the mid-season window, with FFP leaving its imprint on most clubs.

However, Football Insider has been informed by a reliable source that a “big spend” is anticipated as normal in the summer as teams aim to complete their primary business.

In terms of purchasing power, Man United is expected to challenge Liverpool after the INEOS-backed takeover was revealed last year.

Although teams like the Reds are likely to be cautious of FFP limitations, a robust summer transfer window is anticipated despite a quiet January.

Financial wizard Kieran Maguire also revealed to Football Insider on February 6 that Klopp’s successor at Liverpool will have access to a “huge” summer transfer budget.

Football Insider (January 28) disclosed that the Merseysiders have designated Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso as their top target and are preparing to make a move for him.

With the addition of Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, and Ryan Gravenberch to their roster last summer, the Reds completely revamped their midfield.

Despite having played one more game than Man City, who are in second place, Klopp’s team leads the Premier League by two points.
