Liverpool in negotiation with Premier League club to sign £70million player

Liverpool have now reportedly been in talks with Crystal Palace over Cheick Doucours, with the Reds having been heavily linked with the midfielder in recent weeks.

According to the Daily Mail, the Anfield side have held talks with the south London side over the 23-year-old, with Doucoure being one of Liverpool’s top targets in the final days of the summer window.

The Daily Mail previously reported that Palace are asking for up to £70m for the Mali international, a transfer fee that could deter Liverpool from a potential deal for the midfielder.

Hailed as an “outstanding” player by Breaking The Lines, Doucoure is a perfect match for what Liverpool are looking for in a fourth and final midfielder to sign this window.

And this latest update on the Reds’ negotiations with Palace is encouraging as a deal for Doucour looks more realistic than many had initially imagined. Indeed, a hefty sum may still be needed to bring Doucoure to Merseyside, but talks with Palace mean Liverpool could finalize a deal for the youngster in the coming days.

Liverpool must do everything they can to sign Doucoure

Liverpool’s search for a new signing appears to be narrowing, with Doucoure a player the Reds are clearly keen to sign if a fee can be agreed with Palace for the midfielder.

With a Premier League season under his belt, Doucoure has impressed enough to show signs that he can become a real star for one of the biggest clubs in all of England.

And Liverpool can be that team, with Jürgen Klopp needing a defensive midfielder, the platform the Malian international needs to take his game to new heights and become a Premier League superstar.

Liverpool’s next big move is clear as Jurgen Klopp provided the impetus ahead of Alexis Mac Allister’s red card

Liverpool’s next move to Wataru Endo should be clear, with Jurgen Klopp getting a big boost as he considers appealing for Alexis Mac Allister’s red card.

What does this week hold for Liverpool? Now for action on the pitch, the Reds travel to Newcastle United on Sunday for what is perhaps one of the toughest away games they have faced in the Premier League this season.

Newcastle beat Jurgen Klopp’s side in the Champions League football race last year, but Liverpool were one of only two sides, alongside Arsenal, to win at St James’ Park Last year.

The Magpies opened the season with a 5-1 win over Aston Villa but lost to champions Manchester City on matchday two, scoring just one shot on target in a 1-0 defeat. Off the pitch, there could be more developments on the transfer front for Liverpool. Last week the club signed defensive midfielder Wataru Endo from Stuttgart for the third time this summer, but Klopp said he would explore the market further before the September 1 deadline.

A reinforcement from number six could certainly be useful, as could a reinforcement in central defense.

Liverpool’s next big transfer should be clear

Liverpool need an elite-level defensive midfielder to really compete for the biggest prizes, writes Matt Addison.

The Reds seem to have had some good games with Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai but Endo is not in the same group as those two players and looks more like a temporary solution.

Moisés Caicedo and Aurélien Tchouaméni absent, the question is who will bring Liverpool to fill the void.

Jurgen Klopp gave a boost as Liverpool called up Alexis Mac Allister

Liverpool must decide whether to formally appeal midfielder Alexis Mac Allister’s red card against Bournemouth on Saturday.

Mac Allister was sacked for a challenge against Ryan Christie, but according to replays the decision may have been a little harsh.

Unless Liverpool appeal or try anything unsuccessful, the company will be three games without one of their big summer signings. That would no doubt be a concern, but the good news for Klopp is that his alternative options are starting to come into play again.

After a spell on the sidelines, Stefan Bajčetić made a surprise return from injury against Bournemouth on Saturday, while Endo made his Liverpool debut as a substitute.
