Liverpool transfer news: ‘Offer made’ for $33m star and Moisés Caicedo alternative ‘identified’

Liverpool transfer news: Jurgen Klopp and Jörg Schmadtke may have to come up with a joint plan after Moisés Caicedo and a bid has been made for the $33m man.

Liverpool appear to be out of the running for Brighton midfielder Moisés Caicedo as the 21-year-old Ecuadorian seems more open to a move to Chelsea after a notable saga in recent days.

According to The Telegraph, Caicedo will join Chelsea for a transfer fee of $146m (£115m/€133m) and it is suggested the player will be handed an eight-year deal, which could have be a major factor in his desire to go.

If so, the next big question is what happens to Romeo Lavia. The same Telegraph report states that Southampton have also received an offer from Chelsea for Lavia and Todd Boehly wants to sign both players. If Liverpool miss both goals, what will they do? A new plan is expected to be finalized as time is running out in the summer transfer window as the September 1 deadline draws ever closer.

Khephren Thuram (Nice)

Liverpool targeted French U21 midfielder Khéphren Thuram earlier this summer, eventually replacing Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, but the Daily Mirror reports he could come under fire again if Caicedo goes to Chelsea.

Ryan Gravenberch at Bayern Munich is another being cited as a possibility for the Reds, but none of these players really have players who could only play as a number six. Both are much more attack oriented. Liverpool.com says: Liverpool need a good defensive midfielder who can come in and make an immediate impact and Caicedo would have been the perfect stylistic match. Neither Thuram nor Gravenberch fit that mold, so it’s likely it will be someone else (perhaps Lavia, unless he follows Caicedo to Stamford Bridge).

Sofyan Amrabat (Fiorentina)

Again, this is a player who has been linked to Liverpool in the past, although it would certainly be disappointing to switch from Caicedo to the $33m (£26m/€30m) valued Sofyan Amrabat.

However, it seems Amrabat is on his way to Manchester United, despite him receiving an offer from Liverpool as the search for a midfielder continues.

Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla told MUFC Realist TV that Amrabat has a deal to move to Old Trafford, but he has also received offers from Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Saudi Arabia. However, the player only wants Manchester United.

Liverpool.com says: If this was a deal Liverpool really wanted to do, it could have been done in January or now. The Reds can improve someone and with a longer-term perspective, but it remains to be seen who it will be.

Liverpool has £111 million Moises Caicedo fee to spend on three stars after star snubbed move

The Premier League’s top clubs aren’t just keeping an eye on central midfielder Caicedo; since the transfer window opened, Liverpool and Chelsea have been vying to sign Southampton star Romeo Lavia.

Southampton is reportedly holding out for £50 million despite Liverpool making multiple offers, the most recent of which was for £46 million. It seems strange that the Merseysiders would argue over a pitiful £5 million if they are so desperate for another defensive midfielder.
And now that Caicedo seems to be beyond the Reds’ grasp, they might cave in to Southampton’s demands and pay the extra money.

Chelsea is reportedly willing to spend £55 million to acquire Lavia.
But it seems the 19-year-old would rather move to Anfield than Stamford Bridge if Liverpool matched that sum.

Tyler Adams: £20m

According to all accounts, Friday seemed to be a day of last-minute U-turns, with Chelsea pulling out of a deal to sign Tyler Adams, a midfielder for Leeds, after activating his £20 million relegation release clause. According to The Athletic, the 24-year-old had traveled to west London to have a medical, and personal matters were not thought to be a problem.

However, the Blues quickly changed course and concentrated their efforts on luring the Ecuadorian international after Caicedo decided against moving to the north west.

After moving from RB Leipzig to Leeds, Adams made 24 Premier League appearances last season. And Liverpool could now seize the opportunity by offering the Whites £20 million for the American international, who is clearly eager to get back to the Premier League as soon as possible and is of the caliber to be a very valuable player to Klopp and company.

Goncalo Inacio: £40m

Liverpool isn’t just looking to bolster their midfield this summer; Klopp also needs a center-back who can help his backline fill in the gaps left over from last year. During their underwhelming season, the Reds gave up 47 goals in the Premier League and an additional 12 in the Champions League.

They could also use Sporting’s Goncalo Inacio as a center back. The 21-year-old has played 122 times for the dominant Portuguese team and has frequently participated in Champions League and Europa League matches. According to reports, Inacio’s contract contains a £40 million release clause that the Reds could immediately exercise.

Lavia, Adams, and Inacio could all be acquired by Klopp for a total of £115 million, according to this. Additionally, the trio may inspire the German team this year and help make up for Caicedo’s absence.
