Liverpool
FSG should think about Liverpool making a U-turn after opposing Chelsea and Man City.

Owner of Liverpool, FSG, may have to take the ‘can’t beat them, join them’ tack after a recent Premier League match saw it lose to several of its rivals.
Everton, Liverpool’s local rival, was given a 10-point deduction during the international break for violating the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations. The club has already declared that it will challenge the decision.
It is possible that tens of thousands of supporters will be carrying signs calling for the Premier League to be ‘corrupt’ on Sunday when it plays its first match since the scandal surfaced (via talkSPORT).
It was quite unexpected to hear that the club agreed this week at a league meeting to continue a contentious practise, given the events at Goodison Park. The 20 clubs in the competition were asked if they supported a temporary restriction on “related-party loans,” or transfers between teams that share owners. However, the motion only needed 14 votes to pass, even though 12 teams supported it.
It’s important to emphasise that, should one of these transactions take place in January, there won’t be anything “corrupt” about it because it complies with all legal requirements. But when you witness a deal between two clubs connected in this way, you may definitely doubt sporting integrity.
It is no accident that five of the eight clubs who opposed the proposal are already a part of official multi-club networks (Manchester City and Sheffield United) or informal ones (Chelsea, Newcastle, and Nottingham Forest), and two more could join soon. Standard Liege in Belgium and Genoa in Italy are already under the ownership of possible owners Everton 777 Partners, according to The Athletic, who are now ‘exploring potential partner clubs’ at Burnley.
It is becoming more and more obvious that the current trend will continue unchecked if Premier League teams remain in control of multi-club models, which are rapidly expanding. Therefore, if the ban had been implemented, it would have had symbolic significance as a step towards restricting their reach.
The owner of Liverpool, FSG, is left with two options: either accept that change may be inevitable and start actively seeking out other teams to join so that it can reallocate its footballing assets, or stick to its principles, albeit probably in vain.
If it waits too long, it can find itself in a position where it falls behind its rivals by years in terms of model sophistication or where it doesn’t profit from talent development and income. It’s a cynical attitude, to be sure, but maybe it’s time to admit that you have to join them since you can’t beat them.

The 29-year-old midfielder might receive a luring January offer from Liverpool.
Piotr Zielinski, a midfielder for Napoli, is apparently a target for Liverpool to join in the upcoming months.
At the end of the current season, the 29-year-old midfielder will be free to sign with another team, thus Napoli may try to offload him for a little sum of money in the January transfer window.
The 29-year-old will provide inventiveness, technical skill, and control to Liverpool’s midfield, which is definitely in need of more depth. He has been an important member of the Italian team, which they won the league title with last season.
Zielinski possesses both the skill and the background necessary to be successful in the Premier League.
It is unclear if Liverpool will be able to complete the deal, but they are ready to make a sizzling offer for the player in January, according to a report by Fichajes. Prior to joining Napoli, Zielinski was linked to a move to Liverpool, so the chance to play for the Premier League team would be an alluring offer for him.
Zielinski’s style of play makes him a suitable match for Liverpool. His endurance and tactical awareness allow him to contribute to Jurgen Klopp’s high-pressing style of play.
Furthermore, Zielinski might be the best replacement for Thiago Alcantara, who has been rumoured to leaving Liverpool in the upcoming months. The Premier League team may have made a wise investment by signing him for a small fee.
