Liverpool transfer news: Mbappe bid, Osimhen deal, Andre competition

The international break is over.
The Merseyside Derby is coming soon!

Kylian Mbappe

Let’s start with the biggest, shall we?
Gazzetta dello Sport claim Liverpool are set to make a big-money contract offer to PSG in January in a bid to convince none other than Kylian Mbappé to move to PSG as his contract in France expires next summer.
It’s definitely interesting, but honestly, I don’t think it’s going to happen.

Jamal Musiyala

Liverpool showed interest in Bayern youngster Jamal Musiala earlier this week after contract talks with the Gunners broke down.
However, TZ say the young attacking midfielder is not particularly interested in a move to Merseyside and is keen to win more trophies with Bayern.
reverence…

Victor Osimken

There are also reports that Manchester United could make a bid for Napoli superstar Victor Osimhen.

According to Walter De Maggio, Liverpool and Osimhen have reached an “understanding” after United hijacked contract talks for the Napoli forward.

Meanwhile, Calciomercato said Napoli could expect €100m to sell former Lille player Osimhen, whose contract expires in 2025.

According to 90 Minutes, Arsenal are in the race to sign Liverpool target Andre Trindad.
The Reds made an inquiry for the 22-year-old in the summer but Fluminense turned him down, preferring to wait for a winter cut.

Reports suggest Gunners transfer boss Edu has been on a scouting mission to his hometown and wants Andre to join the midfielder.
Kaoru Mitoma.

Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma has signed a new contract at the Amex Stadium after rejecting interest from Liverpool and other suitors.
At least that’s what the London world claims.

Remember: Alexis McAllister has signed a new contract ahead of his departure from Brighton to Anfield in the coming months…
Alex Oxlade-Camerin

Finally, former Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain told Athletic that he had no idea he would be released at the end of last season and had not received any official communication from the club in recent months.

The injured star will now remain with Turkish giants Besiktas.

More news……..

Liverpool has been informed that a £87 million winger could succeed Mohamed Salah.

Pundit Stephen Warnock has named “the only player” who could potentially replace Mohamed Salah at Liverpool.

Speculation is rife over Salah’s future at Anfield following strong interest from the Saudi Pro League over the summer.

Al Ittihad ultimately saw a bid of around £150m rejected by Liverpool.
And when Darren Bent asked on TalkSPORT whether he would sell the Egyptian for that kind of fee in the near future, former Red Warnock said there should be someone lined up to replace Salah – and that he would offer the man who he thinks he can do it.

“I wouldn’t sell him this season, maybe next, but you have to have someone on the pitch,” began the expert.
“The only player that comes to mind is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli.

“He’s the only player you look at and think ‘young, potential, he can play’, but he’s a left wing player, could he play on the right?

“[Dominik] Szoboszlai, he played there in Leipzig, will he play higher if he goes? The scouting network won’t be active now, right, knowing that Salah is getting closer to that point.”

Liverpool advised to go for Kvara

Last year at this time not many people were aware of the magical quality of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

But fast forward 12 months and he could face any team in the world.
He may have faded towards the end of the season, but he was still a key factor in Napoli’s first Scudetto win in 33 years.

Twelve goals and ten assists in Serie A have everyone talking about “Kvaradona”, and Europe’s traditional elite are all connected, including Liverpool.

So far, Napoli are determined to keep the 22-year-old.
There was talk of a figure of 87 million pounds needed to remove him from southern Italy.
However, if Liverpool were to sell Salah, raising that kind of money wouldn’t be a big deal.
If the Reds’ recruitment team – like Warnock – believed Kvaratskhelia was the right man to replace Mo, they would certainly be happy to pay.

Traditionally, however, Liverpool have not always chosen the most obvious option.
And even if, as Warnock says, the Georgian is more of a left-footed player than a right-handed one, he would still be a fairly obvious and successful signing.

If the Reds are convinced, it would be no surprise if they chose Kvara as Salah’s potential successor. But we think a more natural replacement in the form of Pedro Neto might be a better bet for now.
