Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Franck Kessie ‘offer’, Gabri Veiga boost, Alexis Mac Allister deal latest

The most recent information about Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Khephren Thuram, Manu Kone, Benjamin Pavard, Mason Mount, Youri Tielemans, and other players is included in the Liverpool transfer news, rumors, gossip, and speculation.

On Monday, June 5, welcome to the ECHO’s special blog for Liverpool news and transactions.

Jurgen Klopp has identified possible hires who can boost Liverpool’s fortunes next season after a poor fifth-place finish in the Premier League. The transfer window will shortly open.

The Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Alexis Mac Allister is Jurgen Klopp’s top transfer target, and it appears that the Reds manager will shortly make the midfielder his summer acquisition.

Klopp isn’t just interested in the World Cup champion; recent rumours have hinted at interest in Borussia Monchengladbach player Manu Kone as well.

‘Place offer’ from Liverpool for Kessie
According to reports, Liverpool is considering a move for Barcelona midfielder Franck Kessie.

The Ivorian, who left AC Milan as a free agent and only recently signed with the La Liga giants, had been linked to the Reds before making this move.

A source from Italy claims Liverpool are trying to ward off interest from Inter Milan by ‘putting an alleged offer on the table,’ which is thought to be worth between €35 million and €40 million. This has led to Liverpool once more being mentioned as a potential target.

Only seven of Kessie’s 28 league appearances during his debut season with Barcelona were starts.

Newcastle is ‘battling’ the Reds for Veiga.
According to reports, Newcastle United and Liverpool are vying to recruit Celta Vigo midfielder Gabri Veiga.

A total of 36 La Liga games and 11 goals for his team later in the season, the gifted 21-year-old had a breakout season at his former club.

Veiga scored twice in Celta Vigo’s final game of the season on Sunday to help the team avoid relegation, and Premier League clubs are now likely to show interest in signing him.

The Northern Echo reports that despite Liverpool’s interest being “at an advanced stage,” Newcastle has undertaken “initial talks” with the player, who has a €40 million buyout clause.

According to the source, the Reds have ‘done a lot of the legwork’ necessary to secure a deal for Veiga.

Medical testing for Mac Allister are scheduled on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Prior to a potential transfer to Liverpool, Alexis Mac Allister is anticipated to undergo medical testing on Tuesday or Wednesday.

The Reds are hopeful of signing the Argentine midfielder this week, according to news reports earlier today. They appear to have defeated competition from Manchester City and Manchester United.

The medical exams are expected to happen either tomorrow or on Wednesday, according to a report from Mac Allister’s home country, as Liverpool gets closer to finalizing this acquisition.

The cost of Mac Allister’remains unclear’
If Liverpool manages to sign a deal for the Brighton midfielder, Alexis Mac Allister’s final transfer fee is still unknown.

The 24-year-old’s release clause should allow the Reds to move forward with this acquisition; they hope to complete the deal “this week.”

According to the Times, the exact cost of this clause “remains uncertain,” with estimates ranging from £45 million to £70 million.

Future of Sadio Mane

It is said that Bayern Munich is hoping to persuade Sadio Mane to leave the team this summer and is attempting to capitalize on Newcastle United’s interest.

The German powerhouses are aware of Newcastle’s fondness for the Liverpool icon, according to a recent report from FootballTransfers through the Sport1 podcast, since they can afford the wages needed to sign the Senegalese star.

Mane has had a difficult first year at Bayern, but last weekend, the two of them won the Bundesliga championship.

His spot in the starting eleven hasn’t always been guaranteed, and things became worse after he got into a fight with Leroy Sane.

RB Leipzig is ‘plotting’ a second Carvalho offer.

According to reports, RB Leipzig is getting set to make midfielder Fabio Carvalho of Liverpool a second offer.

The Fulham youth graduate was recently the subject of a bid rejection by the Reds because they feel he still has work to do for the team.

Leipzig, though, is’ready to test the Reds’ resolve’ with a higher offer for the 20-year-old, reports Football Insider, indicating that this hasn’t deterred them.

Chelsea ‘turns their focus’ to the pair with ties to Liverpool

According to reports, Chelsea has decided against trying to recruit Manuel Ugarte of Sporting and would instead concentrate on signing Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.

In recent weeks, all three of the aforementioned players have been connected to Liverpool as the Reds try to upgrade their midfield unit.

Although Caicedo is more in demand and is also coveted by Arsenal, Lavia has reportedly been under scrutiny recently by both Chelsea and Liverpool.

According to reports, Chelsea will now ‘direct their attention’ to signing both players.
