Liverpool transfer news: Klopp wants star as Carragher blasts Chelsea over Reds target

Liverpool leads the Premier League going into their home match against Newcastle on New Year’s Day, but the team is still anticipated to make purchases during the January transfer window.

Although Liverpool may lead the Premier League going into their match against Newcastle on Monday, manager Jurgen Klopp isn’t happy with his team’s current composition.

The manager is looking for a temporary left back solution for January. The German manager will have yet another challenge with Mohamed Salah and Wataru Endo scheduled to go for the Asian Cup and AFCON, respectively.

After the game against Newcastle, the Reds will have three weeks off from league action, but that doesn’t guarantee they’ll have enough time to complete their tasks. On January 7, they have a big FA Cup match against Arsenal, followed by the home leg of their League Cup match against Fulham.

Carragher criticises the Chelsea owner

As a Liverpool transfer target prepares to leave Chelsea in January, Jamie Carragher has attacked the “mess” caused by Chelsea owner Todd Boehly.

Conor Gallagher, a midfield player who had been connected to the Reds, participated in the match against Luton amidst growing rumours about his future. Ange Postecoglou has been following the England international since he moved to north London in the summer, and it has been widely reported that Tottenham is now leading the race and in talks over a prospective trade.

“Gallagher has been Chelsea’s best player this season along with Cole Palmer, this just shows what a mess the new ownership have made at the club,” Carragher posted on social media. “Selling an academy player because it helps with FFP.”

The Fulham full-back line up

According to reports, Liverpool has spoken to Fulham about the prospect of acquiring USMNT defender Antonee Robinson in January.

Due to injuries, both Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas will miss the beginning of 2024, leaving Jurgen Klopp without any natural left-back options. On Boxing Day, Joe Gomez filled in there during the 2-0 victory over Burnley.

The 26-year-old former footballer for Wigan and Everton joined Fulham in the summer of 2020. Since then, he has made 128 appearances for the team in all competitions, scoring three goals. He is reportedly amenable to moving to Anfield.

Solanke might give the Reds an edge.

With 12 goals in the Premier League this season, Dominic Solanke has drawn interest from teams like Arsenal.

Furthermore, the Liverpool Echo claims that Bournemouth’s large financial transfer will really help Liverpool. A 20% sell-on option was agreed by sporting director Michael Edwards, in addition to the £19 million repayment that the Cherries made in 2019.

It implies that the Reds might potentially make millions of dollars if the 26-year-old makes a significant move. For the Merseyside club, Solanke only made 27 appearances across all competitions, with one goal.

Liverpool is planning a dramatic move for an attacker valued at €90 million.

Rafael Leao is the guy whom Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool are eyeing to add to their attacking options.

Some of the top teams in the world, including Liverpool, are vying for the AC Milan star.

Francois Plateau claims that the Merseyside club is interested in the Portuguese midfielder and that they may make an offer that includes Liverpool’s Luis Diaz as well as a player-plus-cash arrangement.

The writer disclosed that the heirs of Liverpool feel that the Serie A player is the ideal successor to their former hero, Sadio Mane.

Mane departed the team to play for Bayern Munich, one of the biggest teams in Germany, and then joined Al-Nassr, a Saudi Pro League team.

Leao, 24, is regarded as one of Europe’s most desirable residences at the moment. The left-handed attacker has made 182 appearances for AC Milan across all competitions, scoring 47 goals.

His most recent deal with Milan is valid until the summer of 2028. He joined the Italian powerhouses from the French club Lille.

Luiz Diaz was acquired by Liverpool from Porto, but due to injuries throughout his stay in England, he has not had a significant impact at the team.

Since joining Liverpool in January 2022, the Colombian international has made 69 appearances for the Premier League champions and scored 16 goals.

With five years left on Leao’s deal, Milan is in a great position, albeit it is unclear if the Italian team is interested in Diaz as a replacement.

Liverpool will be well-positioned to contend for both the Premier League and the Europa League in the second half of the season if they are able to sign Leao.

Klopp is anticipated to be busy during the January transfer window in order to deal with some of Liverpool’s problems
