Following the Liverpool transfer snubs, Jurgen Klopp fires Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.

Both Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia were signed by Chelsea during the summer transfer window, but Reds manager Jurgen Klopp isn’t sleeping well over losing out.

According to Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool was “lucky” not to sign Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia to Chelsea.

Liverpool had targeted both Lavia and Caicedo in the summer transfer window, but the midfield pair—then of Southampton and Brighton, respectively—ended up in West London for a combined £173 million. Wataru Endo, a relatively unknown Stuttgart star, was signed by Klopp’s team for a meagre £15 million in order to strengthen their defensive midfield options. Having made an impression thus far, the 30-year-old Japanese international is more than satisfied with the outcome.

When questioned about developing “Liverpool 2.0” this season, Klopp laughed with the crowd about missing out on some goals during a Q&A session in front of Liverpool supporters on Monday while their extended Anfield Road End stand was tested. “The summer we had with a few strange things happen in the transfer market but here between us I can say, ‘My god, we were lucky’,” said the German.

“To be honest, we were unaware of that at the time and didn’t realise it. However, I am rather pleased with how things turned out. You never know how things can turn out.”

The captain Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, and veteran James Milner were among the five central midfielders Klopp had to cope with during the summer. “I had an extremely good feeling before we started pre-season,” Klopp continued. “We already had Macca [Alexis Mac Allister] and Dom [Szoboszlai] already in and then we knew there was a chance for Ryan [Gravenberch].”

“Then, it became evident to us that other central defensive midfield players were unwilling to join Liverpool. Well, you get the picture. Next, we discovered Endo. Unquestionably, he is an outstanding player.

Hakan Calhanoglu is being pursued by West Ham United, Chelsea, and Liverpool.

Hakan Calhanoglu, 29, of Inter Milan, is a midfield player that Chelsea, Liverpool, and West Ham United would all love to have on their team.

A report from Calciomercato claims that West Ham United, Chelsea, and Liverpool are all interested in hiring Hakan Calhanoglu. Since joining Inter Milan, the 29-year-old has been performing admirably, and his outstanding efforts have not gone unnoticed.

Prior to joining Inter Milan in the summer of 2021, Calhanoglu was a member of AC Milan. Since joining Inter, he has only become better. The club’s defensive midfielder has made appearances in 112 games and has helped contribute to 41 goals.

Over the years, the Turkish international has played every position on the pitch. In his early years, the 29-year-old playmaker was frequently spotted on the wings or up top, but at this point in his career, he likes to play as a holding midfielder or a central midfielder.

With more than three years remaining on his contract, he has been a vital member of Inter Milan’s first team in recent seasons. Nevertheless, he might have to leave them in the summer of next year as Premier League teams try to sign him.

Even though Liverpool added a lot of midfield players over the summer, their transformation is far from finished. With his expertise, Calhanoglu may be a wonderful match as a deep-lying playmaker. They need another defensive midfielder.

Chelsea may be concentrating on acquiring young athletes with enormous potential. To maintain order, they do require some experience among their ranks. Despite having a number of defensive midfielders already, they may still want to sign Calhanoglu because of his versatility in both attacking and centre midfield roles.

West Ham United, meanwhile, has long been a fan of the 29-year-old. They intended to sign him as Lucas Paquetà’s replacement throughout the summer. The Brazilian ultimately decided to remain at the London club, and the Inter midfielder’s singing was abandoned.

The Hammers will seek Calhanoglu, and an offer of about €50 million might get them there regardless of what happens with Paqueta next summer. Even though Inter would prefer to hang onto their star, their financial difficulties are still present. Also, since he was a free agent when he signed with them in the past, his departure might enable them to make a tidy profit.
