Today’s medical is a critical step that Liverpool will take to complete the transfer.

Alexis Mac Allister, a midfielder for Brighton, will allegedly undergo a physical today, according to reports.

The recent success of the Argentina international in the Premier League has made a significant summer transfer seem probable for some time.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Mac Allister will have his medical sometime today, suggesting that Liverpool is getting close to finalizing this transaction.

Mac Allister has been eager to have everything completed before joining up with his national team, and extra legalities on his contract may be poised to be finalized today, according to Romano’s tweet below.

Understand Liverpool have booked a medical today for Alexis Mac Allister. 🚨🔴 #LFC

The plan is advance on formal contracts stuff today, complete medical then sign contract on Wednesday.

Deal until June 2028.

LFC had a discouraging 2022–23 season, missing out on Champions League qualifying, and Jurgen Klopp’s team’s midfield has appeared to be a glaring area of weakness.

The Merseyside giants would be wise to sign Mac Allister as an improvement over players like Thiago Alcantara and Jordan Henderson, and replacements will also be required for the midfield quartet of James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who are all out of contract.

Man United know Alexis Mac Allister is ready to take on a role at Liverpool that Mohamed Salah ‘hates’

Incoming midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has an important weapon to offer Liverpool after Jürgen Klopp had to make up his mind last season over Mohamed Salah’s shortcomings.

In early May, Brighton beat Manchester United 1-0 at the Amex Stadium to give Liverpool a glimmer of hope in their race to the top four of the Premier League.
Defeat for Erik ten Hag’s side saw Liverpool go within four points, although Manchester United still had a game in hand.

The match winner for the Seagulls that night was Alexis Mac Allister, and coincidentally he’s now on the verge of becoming a Liverpool player (via The Guardian).

Mac Allister’s crucial goal came in the 99th minute, making it the last goal in a Premier League match since – poetically – Bruno Fernandes grabbed three points for United against the Seagulls in September 2020. Both attacks came from the penalty spot and both displayed supreme composure at a decisive moment.

Mac Allister is truly a specialist when it comes to penalties, having scored nine out of 10 in his professional career, according to Transfermarkt.

His only miss came in a game away to Wolves last season, and even then he made amends from 12 yards in the same half, with Brighton winning 3-0.

Since then he has scored seven in a row, or eight if you count the one in the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United (again) in April.

Only Manchester City’s Erling Haaland (seven) has scored more from the penalty spot than the Argentine (six) in 2022/23.

Looking at Mac Allister’s seven shots on goal this season, some clear trends can be seen.

The first is the variety of his placements – three went right, three left and one in the middle.
In terms of height, he preferred the top corner (four times), which is of course a high risk, high reward strategy.

Mac Allister struck in the top right corner against Brentford and in the FA Cup game against Manchester United, the only time he scored consecutive penalties from the same spot.

He preferred to mix things up from one penalty to another, which made it almost impossible for goalkeepers to prepare. The other trend was build quality.

All but one of his penalties ended up in the corner or the side netting, with the inevitable exception of his midfield shot against Leicester. It alludes to Mac Allister’s near robotic cool under that unique print.

By contrast, Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s best penalty taker, missed two consecutive penalties earlier in the season and didn’t even use the keeper against Bournemouth or Arsenal.

At this point, Jurgen Klopp said he would talk to the Egyptian to stay in the job but ultimately opted to back him. He was rewarded with successful efforts in back-to-back matches against Spurs and Fulham in late April/early May.

However, trust in Salah will have diminished in these situations, not least because he also lost some in the 2021/22 season.

With Mac Allister, Liverpool may soon have a more reliable option at their disposal.

Given his stature within the club and his obsession with individual goal milestones, Klopp seems unlikely he will deprive Salah of penalties, although he has admitted he dislikes the role.

“I hate pens all the time, I don’t like the feel,” he told Steven Gerrard on LFCTV’s ‘When Stevie Met Salah’ (via This is Anfield) earlier this year.

Mac Allister is likely to replace outgoing James Milner, who has impressively buried 19 of his 21 penalties for Liverpool, as the designated replacement.

But if Salah falters again and Klopp decides it’s time to move, then he’ll be ready to step in and present a valuable weapon in his arsenal. Manchester United knows this all too well.

Liverpool will closely monitor any Chelsea transfer twist as FSG plan is clear

Chelsea’s transfer fees have had a major impact on the European transfer market

Over the past 12 months, the arrival of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital as owners of Chelsea has caused major upheaval in the transfer market.

Between taking over the club in May 2022 following its foreclosure following UK sanctions against former owner Roman Abramovich and the end of the January transfer window, Chelsea have spent more than £500m acquiring some of the most sought-after talents in world football.

Enzo Fernandez, Benoit Badiashile, Mykhailo Mudryk, Wesley Fofana and Noni Madueke, among many others, all finished at Stamford Bridge last year, although a 12th place meant the project had a miserable performance for its first year for new owners.

Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali had expressed his admiration for Liverpool owner Fenway Sports Group at the October 2022 Sportico Invest In Sports Conference speech in New York where ECHO was present.

“In our opinion, these [Premier League] teams are generally not well managed. Fenway Sports Group and Liverpool have done well, but for the most part these opportunities have not been used to their full potential,” the Clearlake Capital co-founder said.

A club owned by an investment fund needs success on the pitch to bolster its efforts and increase the value of the club, which received a £2.5billion bounty last year. In the sequel, a return must be realized for the investors.

However, the best chance of doing so is to try to add value to the club and make a profit on the sale.
However, the heavy spending was seen as a long-term investment, although not playing the 2023/24 Champions League was not part of the plan and will further complicate things from a financial perspective given the liabilities that exist on the club’s balance sheet., salaries and wages also amortization costs for the acquisition of players.

It is a philosophy at odds with the philosophy adopted by Liverpool under the FSG, where the club was run under a much more rigorous business model, spending according to its income and going against the trend in football where there is always has losses.

The failure to ease monetary policy has over time caused a great deal of anger among certain sections of the Reds’ fanbase.

Chelsea’s ability to reduce the financial impact of spending on the balance sheet stems from adopting the tactic of offering extended contracts, in some cases for seven, eight and nine years, thus spreading out the amortization costs attributable transfer fees over a longer period, giving the club more financial flexibility.

For example, a transfer fee of £100m on a five-year deal would be amortized to club accounts at the rate of £20m a year. However, if a player is offered a nine-year contract, the amortized cost is £11.1m on the balance sheet.

The use of such contracts has forced UEFA to act, blocking contracts for players over five years old from this summer, with a number of European clubs appearing to be unhappy with Chelsea’s use of longer contracts.
However, it is understood that some clubs remain concerned about a possible circumvention of the five-year rule that has been put in place.

Chelsea had tried to sign Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte from Portuguese club Sporting CP. Ugarte was a player strongly associated with Liverpool earlier this year.

It now looks as though Paris Saint-Germain will win the bid for the 22-year-old, with the Mirror reporting that Chelsea were ready to offer Ugarte an eight-year contract and were looking to circumvent the regulation.

including any additional years beyond the five-year limit as options in favor of the club that could activate them

Chelsea have made a big impact on the transfer market thanks to their approach over the past year, which has seen European football’s governing body rewrite the rules to try to avoid a potential problem down the road.

Now that new rules have arrived, other European clubs will keep an eye out as any attempt to find a solution will end up with UEFA.

Jürgen Klopp should look at Arsenal duo that can save Liverpool millions and fix new issue

Jurgen Klopp has a potential problem at Liverpool this summer and the club could solve it with a double free transfer attack on Arsenal as two ideal candidates emerge.

There will be many changes to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool squad this summer. When a new era begins at Anfield, the team will be markedly different and Liverpool will be looking to fight their way to the top of the Premier League and European football.

But while Liverpool will be interested in adding reinforcements, it’s also important to remember the rules for potential new arrivals.

Currently, the Premier League only allows 17 non-homegrown players (players who have coached in England for at least three years between the ages of 18 and 21) per team. The rest of a 25-man team must be filled with native places.

Liverpool haven’t had a problem with this rule lately, but this summer the club lost both James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and could lose more like Caoimhín Kelleher and Nathaniel Phillips leaving only Curtis Jones, Andy Robertson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jordan Henderson and Joe Gomez are considered locals.

This means that there could still be a few vacancies in the squad which could be filled by a local player.

And for Liverpool, there could be an ideal solution at Arsenal, where two local players have expiring contracts.

One of them is Reiss Nelson, who is still negotiating a contract extension with the Gunners, but with his contract expiring in less than a month, Liverpool have a chance to step up and convince him to move to a new one.

territory. Nelson, who can play in multiple positions and is just 23, would be an ideal cover for Liverpool in the squad, similar to Oxlade-Chamberlain’s role in his ability to play wide down the wing.

For Milner’s replacement, the ideal candidate could once again be 25-year-old Ainsley Maitland-Niles on a free transfer from Arsenal, who has already confirmed he will leave the club this summer.

Maitland-Niles is an England international and a player with extensive experience. He has also played for AS Roma in Serie A and Southampton and Arsenal in the Premier League.

Able to fill a variety of roles, from full-back to midfield, in central positions as well as on the flanks, he looks like an ideal candidate for a free transfer. Like Nelson, he qualifies as a local player and this makes him an even more attractive prospect for Liverpool.

Neither Nelson nor Maitland-Niles will be world-class additions, nor will they set the world on fire at Anfield, but with so many of the squad leaving Klopp’s side, he needs more than just first-team reinforcements this summer.

contracts, the duo could be two ideal additions. Not only because of their status as homegrown players, but also because of their profile in terms of age and versatility.

Martin Keown assesses Alexis MacAllister’s move to Liverpool as “not a steal.”

Alexis Mac Allister is a player that Liverpool hopes to sign this week.

Defender Martin Keown, a Premier League champion, believes Alexis Mac Allister will succeed at Liverpool.

The ECHO believes that there is hope that the deal for the Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder can be completed before he departs for Argentina, bringing the Argentine’s projected transfer to Anfield closer.

If all goes according to plan, the 24-year-old would join the Reds as their first summer signing as Jurgen Klopp attempts to bolster his midfield options after losing three midfielders to free agency. Since helping his country win the World Cup and the Seagulls qualify for the Europa League, Mac Allister has become more well-known.

After dropping their chase of Jude Bellingham, Liverpool had the Argentine international on their radar, while Manchester City had been keeping an eye on the midfielder. After their season came to an end with a loss to Aston Villa, Roberto De Zerbi acknowledged that Mac Allister and his midfield partner Moises Caicedo will part ways.

While conflicting stories continue to be published regarding the potential profit margin for the Seagulls from the transaction, Keown thinks the Reds are once again doing well by their customers.

He is an exceptional player, in my opinion. During the World Cup, we observed that. (Lionel) Messi was sprinting forward when he came deep. He described him as being quite intelligent to talkSPORT.

“Great technique and a goal-oriented eye. He will be a really excellent addition. Again, good business. Although it isn’t a “steal,” I believe the price is fair for a player of his caliber. In a way, Brighton letting him move on is healthy.

He’ll succeed there. He offers Liverpool a little more class and backbone.

£44 million midfielder is getting closer to leaving this summer despite Liverpool’s interest.

Ryan Gravenberch, a midfielder for Bayern Munich, appears to be moving closer to leaving the team due to Liverpool’s interest.

According to a story from SoccerNews.nl, which quoted writer Kerry Hau, this is the case.

Liverpool appears prepared to work on enhancing their midfield alternatives this year.

James Milner and Naby Keita were two players that Jurgen Klopp permitted to leave this summer who often play in that position.

There are several young people at the club who have performed well when needed.

At the close of the season, Curtis Jones showed promise, and Stefan Bajcetic performed admirably until suffering an injury.

However, more players are required, and Jorg Schamdtke, the new sporting director, must get to work right now.

Given that Ryan Gravenberch might leave Bayern Munich, Liverpool has recognized him as a potential candidate.

He is a top target for Schmadtke and might be available given his paucity of playing time in Germany.

It appears that Thomas Tuchel will be in charge of choosing his future.

Liverpool target Gravenberch is about to leave Bayern

The young Dutchman’s movements this summer, according to the SoccerNews story, will be influenced by Tuchel.

He must “outline a clear plan and offer the Dutchman perspective” and clarify what function Gravenberch will play in the team.

Gravenberch’s exit from Bayern will be “almost inevitable” if they are unable to provide him with this.

The ‘complete’ midfielder has a ton of potential, but Germany doesn’t give him many chances to show it off.

Last year, he was among the top players in the Netherlands, and he properly earned a significant transfer to another country.

He was forced to accept playing most of his minutes off the bench because he picked a team with some of the best midfield options in the world.

The 21-year-old, valued at £44 million, would be a fascinating addition for Jurgen Klopp.

Even if Gravenberch won’t have much expertise to offer Liverpool, his departure from Bayern could turn out to be advantageous in the long term.

The Reds’ midfield options, including Jones, Bajcetic, and Harvey Elliott, may be set for the foreseeable future.

Khephren Thuram and Liverpool are now in advanced negotiations as the Reds try to complete a trade.

Football Transfers asserts that the player for OGC Nice has now made a transfer to Liverpool his top objective. Thuram is reportedly more interested in joining the Reds than any other team, despite rumors of interest from PSG and Newcastle United.

To that goal, it is rumored that Liverpool is in extensive negotiations with Khephren and his father Lilian. The renowned former France defender is reportedly in charge of brokering a deal for his son.

However, rumors suggest that other factions are still out there. According to reports, Newcastle has already spoken with the Thurams and “remains interested” in both the 22-year-old and fellow Liverpool target Manu Kone.

PSG, on the other hand, is reportedly only willing to pay for Thuram in installments. According to reports, Manuel Ugarte is the Parisians’ first objective. Liverpool is currently in first place, as a result.

Liverpool intensifies the transfer process

Thuram should receive the same treatment from the Reds if he is willing to make them his top priority in the market. The 6’4″ midfielder appears to be an extremely promising young player.

He is now valued at about £53 million, but he exudes the aura of a player whose value may skyrocket if given the chance to shine.

Thuram appears to be the complete package: tall, rangy, powerful, and still extremely technically adept. The France international might be a gift from the gods for a Liverpool team that needs all of that added to its midfield.

Reds supporters have been incredibly enthused about the possibility of Jurgen Klopp bringing him to Anfield as a result.

Since the completion of the Premier League season last week, it appears that things have picked up in terms of moves. We may anticipate that negotiations with potential players are now moving to a “advanced” stage as Liverpool tries to complete their transaction quickly.

Given that and the commotion surrounding Thuram, there may be some validity to this allegation. We’ll find out asap.

Perhaps Liverpool is starting to benefit from market alignment. Keep an eye on it, Reds.

In a recent Instagram post by Alexis Mac Allister, Khephren Thuram provides a Liverpool transfer “clue.”

Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram responded to news of Alexis Mac Allister’s impending transfer to Liverpool by offering a possible indication about his future.

Mac Allister, 24, appears to have reached a personal agreement with Liverpool and will likely leave Brighton in the near future.

The Reds are expected to activate a release clause in the Argentinean international’s contract at the Amex Stadium, according to transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano.

Here we go, Alexis Mac Allister to Liverpool! Complete agreement reached on the contract; be aware that its validity is set for June 2028. 5 year contract. Romano tweeted “#LFC” on Monday.

“Liverpool will pay the buyout clause in the coming days, for a much less money than the rumored £60 million sum. 24 or 48 hour medical tests. Done.”

Now, it appears as though Mac Allister will be Liverpool’s first acquisition of the forthcoming transfer window, which starts on June 14 for English clubs.

And after a disappointing campaign, Jurgen Klopp’s team is anticipated to add numerous midfielders this summer. He might be rapidly followed by more newcomers.

Manu Kone, a midfielder for Borussia Monchengladbach, and Khephren Thuram, a standout for Nice and the son of former France international Lilian Thuram, have both been connected with moves to Anfield.

The 22-year-old Khephren has drawn interest from the Merseyside club after making 48 appearances for Nice this season across all competitions and scoring twice.

Thuram ‘likes’ the photo of the Mac Allister move.

After ‘liking’ a picture on Instagram about Mac Allister’s contract with the Reds, the midfielder fueled rumors that he would be moving to Liverpool this summer.

The article from 4-3-3 featured a photo of Mac Allister having fun while sporting a Liverpool jersey.

According to L’Equipe, Liverpool is planning a bid for Thuram, and Nice is prepared to sell him if Liverpool meets their asking price of €40 million (£34.5 million).

Thuram, though, has openly downplayed a summer transfer away from the French club.

Thuram added, according to the Liverpool Echo, “I want to advance, go on the field, and have fun,” at the UNFP Trophies presentation. I’m currently in Nice. It’s going great guns.

I still envision myself in Nice since I truly like the club. I’m doing great in Nice.

“I hear noises, but I’m content in Nice. With this club, I want to develop. Didier Digard, the interim manager, brought a lot to this group through a trying time, so I’d want to see him stay.

I’m not sure whether I thank him enough, but I can never do so enough. He was a great assistance to me when I was starting out in my job.

“We did a lot of work together. In Nice or somewhere else, I simply wish him happiness.

In light of transfer rumors to Liverpool, Brighton star Alexis Mac Allister speaks out.

After a disappointing season on the field, Liverpool fans will be eager to see what business their team has planned during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Liverpool didn’t win any awards at the end of the season and missed out on the Champions League after finishing fifth in the Premier League.

The roster needs updating, especially in midfield, therefore Jurgen Klopp and the new sporting director Jorg Schmadtke will have major financial support.

Prior to the transfer window’s formal opening on June 14, Liverpool has already started talks with a number of targets and appears on track to complete their first signing soon after.

According to several sources, the Anfield club and Brighton player Alexis MacAllister are in advanced negotiations.

The Seagulls’ sixth-place finish in the Premier League was their best-ever league result thanks to the outstanding season the Argentina international has had with the club.

He was also an important contributor to the Argentina team that won the World Cup in Qatar in the winter.

Following Brighton’s final home game of the season against Manchester City earlier this month, Mac Allister appeared to wave goodbye to the crowd before breaking down in tears after their final game against Aston Villa on Sunday.

Brighton’s message from Mac Allister

After sharing a heartfelt letter to fans on Instagram, it now appears as though he will leave the Amex Stadium this summer.

Review of this momentous year! It was an honor to represent Brighton & Hove Albion FC at a World Cup, but winning the first World Cup for this team will be unforgettable (let’s hope you win more), as will the reception you receive thereafter, the player wrote.

“We were fighting for relegation three and a half years ago, and now, after so much sacrifice, pain, and struggle, this group will be in the history of this club for being the first time this club will play Europe League.

“We must be quite proud since we did it all together. VAMOOOOOS.”

According to Football Insider, Liverpool has agreed to match Mac Allister’s Brighton release clause and will pay the south coast club a fee of between £55 and £60 million for his services.

According to reports, personal arrangements have already been reached with the 24-year-old, who is anticipated to sign a deal paying more than £150,000 per week.

According to Liverpool, Marcus Thuram may not be good news for Nunez

The forward for Gladbach is a “monster” and is unrestricted this summer.

Marcus Thuram of Borussia Monchengladbach is attracting interest from Liverpool as his £53,000-per-week deal with the German Bundesliga team expires this summer.

What has changed recently in Liverpool’s search for Marcus Thuram?

According to Spanish news reports, Thuram has been chosen as a cunning replacement for Roberto Firmino, who will leave Anfield at the conclusion of his contract.

Given the urgent need for midfield reinforcements, some supporters would be hesitant to seek a forward this summer, but Thuram is both productive and exciting, and he may be too good to pass up given that he will soon become a free agent.

The 25-year-old is coveted by teams like Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur, therefore Reds manager Jurgen Klopp needs to move quickly if he wants to land the star.

Marcus Thuram should Liverpool sign him?

Supporters may be excused for thinking that Thuram, a towering forward at 6 feet 4, plays a poaching role as the center of attention.

While he is a terrifying figure with his aerial menace, according to WhoScored, the dynamic attacker’s game incorporates a variety of diverse skills. He has won a lifetime average of 2.2 of his aerial bouts.

The ten-cap Frenchman would undoubtedly provide firepower in a variety of roles under Klopp’s guidance, possibly consolidating the Liverpool attack’s effectiveness with his blend of direct potency, creative flair, and quick-footed physicality. He is a capable offensive weapon across the scope of the front three positions.

In the top 24% of forwards in the top five leagues in Europe over the past year for non-penalty goals, top 13% for assists, top 12% for progressive carries, and top 13% for successful take-ons per 90, according to FBref.

Thuram, described as a “physical monster” by Herve Renard, is expected to move to Anfield, which might put Darwin Nunez—a £85 million club record acquisition—in risk. The Uruguayan striker’s first season in England has fluctuated between devastating brilliance and agonizing profligacy.

In just 26 starts for the Reds this season, Nunez scored 15 goals and provided four assists, but his alarming wastefulness in front of goal has left those connected lamenting his struggles. The Liverpool Echo’s Theo Squires has dubbed Nunez a “agent of chaos” – wreaking havoc, but not always as his outfit might hope.

Similar to Thuram, the 23-year-old has been dubbed a “monster” and excels as a center-forward and when moved out to the left flank. If Thuram were to join the squad on Merseyside, the overabundance of elite forwards could interfere with Nunez’s second season at the club.

Nunez, who has missed 20 significant Premier League opportunities this year and only scored nine goals, may find that the Gladbach ace’s reputation as a “clinical” player is his downfall.

While the phenom boasts a gleaming tool set, it might derail Nunez, who has the potential to ignite the Premier League in vermilion flames. Whether Klopp attempts to go for Thuram, and indeed whether it would be the right course of action, remains to be seen.

Liverpool trade news LIVE: Mane linked to return, Thuram blow, Reds draw in on Mac Allister

Liverpool have some big signings to offer when the transfer window starts in nine days. Jurgen Klopp is looking to rebuild his squad after missing out on the Champions League

With just nine days to go before the summer transfer window opens – and Liverpool are preparing for a big few months as Jurgen Klopp looks to rebuild his squad.

We already know that James Milner, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Roberto Firmino are heading for the exit, with Joel Matip’s future also uncertain.

Sporting director Jörg Schmadtke took up his new role last Thursday and his first big task could be signing Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. Personal terms have reportedly been agreed for the world champion and he is expected to be the first of many newcomers.

The Anfield side are also in the running to sign Khephren Thuram from Nice and Manu Kone from Borussia Mönchengladbach, and are even now linked with former star Sadio Mane just a year after joining Bayern Munich.

Another Bundesliga winner, midfielder Ryan Gravenberch is another target, but hopes of signing Mason Mount appear to be fading with Man United in pole position for the Englishman.

Liverpool fans vote for player of the season

It hasn’t been the best season for Liverpool, but at least fans have European football to look forward to next season.

It will be the Europa League, but even a fifth place marked a recovery after a bad first half of the championship.
And now fans can vote for their Player of the Season via the club’s website

Liverpool feel the date of the program

Liverpool’s league schedule for the 2023/24 season will be announced on Thursday 15 June at 9am.
With work on the Anfield Road Stand extension continuing until the end of July, the club submitted an application to play their first away game. Klopp boosted by the return of a young star

Liverpool hope Kaide Gordon’s injury nightmare ends soon as the 18-year-old returns to training.
Gordon, who made his first-team debut for the Reds last season, last played 16 months ago in a 3-0 Premier League 2 defeat away to Leeds United.

The academic graduate suffers from a pelvic disorder and is undergoing specialist training.
Not a new signing for Jurgen Klopp, but it might look like it.

Watson

Carvalho out? Red Bull Leipzig are reportedly preparing a second offer for Liverpool midfielder Fabio Carvalho, who hinted he was leaving Anfield last week.

The Reds turned down a bid for the academy graduate from Fulham but, according to Football Insider, Leipzig are ‘ready to test the Reds’ resolve’ by making an improved offer for the 20-year-old.

Alexis Mac Allister deal could be finalized this week

Liverpool are closing in on a full deal to sign Alexis Mac Allister – and hope to finalize the deal this week.

The Reds have agreed in principle on details of a transfer fee with Brighton which would cover the exit clause in his contract and would be less than £60m.

And with personal details set to be finalized this week, manager Jurgen Klopp is growing confident of securing his first major signing this summer. Liverpool ‘fan’ Kone aims to shine in the Premier League

A longtime manager of Manu Kone has revealed that Liverpool are his favorite club and the Borussia Monchengladbach star wore one of their kits during a trial period.

Former Paris FC youth coach Reda Bekhti recalled that the French Under-21 international wore red during his trial with the Ligue 2 outfit.

In an exclusive interview with Liverpool.com, Bekhti explained why a move to Anfield would be perfect for Kone – it would be particularly rewarding for Manu. I remember him wearing a Liverpool kit during the Paris FC trial, it’s his favorite club than him,” he said.

“Liverpool would be a great step for him and a good career choice. He could prove himself in the Premier League playing for one of England’s most popular clubs.

In such an environment, he could only develop further and continue to demonstrate his talent.

Alexander Arnold goes to Barca

Trent Alexander-Arnold was in Barcelona this week – but don’t worry Liverpool fans, he wasn’t there to negotiate with the Catalan giants.

Instead, TAA enjoyed the Spanish Grand Prix. And he enjoyed looking closely at the AlphaTauri setup before the race, which was won by Max Verstappen.

Liverpool dealt a blow to their talks with Thuram

Khephren Thuram stressed he was happy given Liverpool’s interest in OGC Nice. 90min reported this week that the Reds have started talks with Thuram’s representatives ahead of the opening of the summer transfer window on June 14.
But it looks like the France international, who won just one cap, will need convincing.

Mane is linked with a return to Anfield

Sadio Mane has been linked with a return to Anfield after failing to impress Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel.

Despite winning the Bundesliga, CEO Oliver Kahn and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic have been sacked and dozens of players are set to be sacked this summer.
Several outlets, including Bilde and Echo, have suggested Mane’s return could be a possibility, although Jurgen Klopp has signed Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez.

The Celt star “seduced” by Klopp

Gabri Veiga was the hero as Celta Vigo secured their survival in La Liga this weekend by scoring twice in a win over Barcelona.

And according to Spanish media outlet Relevo, Liverpool are one of the main Premier League clubs interested in the 21-year-old star.
“The Premier League has knocked on his door the most,” they said.”

Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle have been following each other closely for a while, but the one who has taken the lead lately is Liverpool.

“The team coached by Jürgen Klopp wants to give their team an avoidance maneuver and sees in Veiga a midfielder who can lead this new stage at Anfield. The Celta player was seduced by the German manager’s commitment to young players.”

Thiago is unlikely to be offered a new deal

Thiago Alcantara now has just a year left at Liverpool and is “unlikely” to be offered a new contract, according to a new report.
Goal.com says the Spain international, who signed a four-year contract when he joined the Reds in 2020, will be able to wrap up the final year of that deal and leave next summer on a free transfer.

Thiago was plagued by injuries during his time at Anfield, scoring three goals in 97 appearances for the Reds.

Carragher tells Klopp to sell Matip

Jamie Carragher told Jurgen Klopp to get rid of Joel Matip to clear space for a renovation this summer.

After ending the 2022/23 season empty-handed in terms of trophies and failing to finish in the top four, Liverpool’s eviction has already begun with Roberto Firmino, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and James Milner all leaving the club to leave. With the transfer window opening in ten days, newcomers will also be targeted following the appointment of new sporting director Jörg Schmadtke.

A deal for Brighton’s Mac Allister appears to be all but signed and sealed with Mason Mount and Manu Kone. But as Klopp’s midfield came under scrutiny, Carragher urged the German manager to review his defensive options.

Thuram “happy” in Nice

Liverpool transfer target Khephren Thuram has spoken of a potential move to Anfield this summer, insisting he is “happy” at Nice.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is keen to strengthen his midfield this summer as James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita all leave on free transfers.

The Reds have been planning a move for Borussia Dortmund and England star Jude Bellingham but pulled out of the race to sign him due to the scale of the rebuilding work Klopp was to undertake.

The reds pay homage to Firmino

While most of the attention will be on the incoming players, one player is saying an emotional goodbye to Liverpool.
The stars of the Reds greeted the Brazilian in an exciting video.

Liverpool get Fabrizio Romano ‘HERE WE GO’ to complete a significant summer transfer

Liverpool will complete the transfer of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, who gave the deal his famous ‘here we go’ confirmation.

Mac Allister’s father has been in the UK negotiating terms with the Reds since the weekend. Even then, Jurgen Klopp’s side were in a strong position to secure the transfer of the World Cup winner, with little final tweaking to the contract.

Romano reports that it has now happened and that the Argentine international will sign a five-year contract with the Reds, keeping the midfielder at Anfield until 2028.

The transfer specialist also confirmed Liverpool would pay “significantly less” than the £60m fee reported by some outlets.

He had previously said Klopp’s side will get a “great deal” for the player. Liverpool midfielder’s plans are taking shape

Liverpool’s signing of Mac Allister is the first major step in a summer of midfield renewal at Anfield.

After proving weak in this area during a disappointing 2022/23 campaign which saw him fail in the Champions League, Klopp is focusing his summer recruitment drive on the heart of the pitch.

Players such as Chelsea’s Mason Mount and Sporting CP’s Manuel Ugarte were linked with Liverpool but proved too expensive.

Instead, FootballTransfers have exclusively revealed that Liverpool have three players at the top of the transfer list for joining the club: Nice’s Khephren Thuram, Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Manu Kone and Feyenoord’s Orkun Kokcu.

However, Mac Allister is Liverpool’s best summer midfield signing and Klopp will be happy to seal the deal before the window officially opens on June 10.

Liverpool and a £53 million player are in advanced negotiations, and he prefers to join them over PSG.

Khephren Thuram and Liverpool are now in advanced negotiations as the Reds try to complete a trade.

Football Transfers asserts that the player for OGC Nice has now made a transfer to Liverpool his top objective. Thuram is reportedly more interested in joining the Reds than any other team, despite rumors of interest from PSG and Newcastle United.

To that goal, it is rumored that Liverpool is in extensive negotiations with Khephren and his father Lilian. The renowned former France defender is reportedly in charge of brokering a deal for his son.

However, rumors suggest that other factions are still out there. According to reports, Newcastle has already spoken with the Thurams and “remains interested” in both the 22-year-old and fellow Liverpool target Manu Kone.

PSG, on the other hand, is reportedly only willing to pay for Thuram in installments. According to reports, Manuel Ugarte is the Parisians’ first objective. Liverpool is currently in first place, as a result.

Liverpool intensifies the transfer process

Thuram should receive the same treatment from the Reds if he is willing to make them his top priority in the market. The 6’4″ midfielder appears to be an extremely promising young player.

He is now valued at about £53 million, but he exudes the aura of a player whose value may skyrocket if given the chance to shine.

Thuram appears to be the complete package: tall, rangy, powerful, and still extremely technically adept. The France international might be a gift from the gods for a Liverpool team that needs all of that added to its midfield.

Reds supporters have been incredibly enthused about the possibility of Jurgen Klopp bringing him to Anfield as a result.

Since the completion of the Premier League season last week, it appears that things have picked up in terms of moves. We may anticipate that negotiations with potential players are now moving to a “advanced” stage as Liverpool tries to complete their transaction quickly.

Given that and the commotion surrounding Thuram, there may be some validity to this allegation. We’ll find out asap.

Perhaps Liverpool is starting to benefit from market alignment. Keep an eye on it, Reds.

The move of Alexis Mac Allister from Man Utd to Liverpool is now considered to be final.

Alexis Mac Allister has reportedly left Brighton for Liverpool.

Alexis Mac Allister reportedly turned down Manchester United before deciding to join Liverpool, despite the Reds failing to qualify for the Champions League.

The World Cup winner will be Jurgen Klopp’s first summer signing, with Liverpool finally receiving one from Premier League rivals United.

Mac Allister was key to Brighton’s remarkable success in 2022-23. His performances for the Seagulls helped them qualify for the Europa League under Roberto De Zerbi. Despite European qualification, the south coast side had little hope of retaining the playmaker.

Liverpool now intend to sign Mac Allister after agreeing a fee with Brighton. The exact value of the deal is not known, with figures ranging from £45m to £60m. It will probably be somewhere in between.

The Argentine star will apparently finalize personal talks with Liverpool before undergoing a medical at the club’s training base. The Reds staged a coup by luring Mac Allister despite failing to finish in the top four of the Premier League.

According to The Times, Mac Allister rejected United’s advances because he wanted to join Liverpool.

This then convinced Erik ten Hag to switch to Chelsea star Mason Mount, who will move to Old Trafford in the coming weeks.
Klopp has been desperately looking for a tired midfield this summer to breathe new life into.

James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita will all leave the club when their contracts formally expire on 30 June. Liverpool’s midfield issues played a key role in Klopp’s inability to further challenge the top four and challenge for the big trophies in the 2022/23 season.

Injuries, fitness issues and the loss of form of several midfielders meant that Liverpool’s performance faltered after a fantastic season the previous year.

The signing of Mac Allister – a deal reportedly ‘closed’ by transfer guru Fabrizio Romano – is the first step in the Liverpool midfielder’s transformation. Klopp was apparently attracted to the former loanee from Boca Juniors because he could play in six, eight or ten.

The versatile midfielder had signed a new contract at Brighton, although the terms did little to prevent him from securing a free transfer this summer. An included release clause from Brighton was a rare move from a club that rejected huge offers for Moises Caicedo in January.

Meanwhile, Mac Allister is just the first midfielder to arrive at Anfield before the opening window of the domestic deal on 14 June. The Reds are reportedly considering transfers for Nice’s Kephrem Thuram and Southampton’s Romeo Lavia.
