Another name strongly associated with the move to Anfield is Southampton star Romeo Lavia. While there is still no deal with the Saints, who are reportedly seeking £50m for Lavia, Jurgen Klopp is said to be keen to sign the former Manchester City youngster.

In any market period, expenses can be just as important as income. Thiago Alcantara is a man strongly linked to the departure from Liverpool.

The former Reds player before the return to the Premier League?
According to the Daily Mail, Wolves are considering a move for former Liverpool loanee Arthur Melo.

Arthur endured a disappointing loan spell with the Reds last season, was sidelined with a hamstring injury and is said to be keen to prove he can shine in England.

According to the report, the 26-year-old has a lucrative Saudi Arabia Pro League offer on the table but is waiting to see if Wolves will meet an initial request.

Julen Lopetegui works at Molineux under financial constraints and wants to replace Ruben Neves after his move to Saudi Arabia. Teen ready for new Livepool deal

According to the Belfast Telegraph, Kieran Morrison is set to sign his first professional contract at Liverpool after agreeing a scholarship deal for next season.

The 16-year-old, who recently made his debut for the club’s Under-21 side, has created new conditions at Anfield in a bid to rise through the ranks.

Scholarship contracts are contracts for a minimum of one year that usually precede a player being awarded a full-time spot on the team.

Sometimes, however, they are extended for a year.
It means Morrison is well on his way to turning professional at Anfield and following in the footsteps of Irish duo Conor Bradley and Caoimhin Kelleher.

The teenager is believed to be held in high regard by Merseyside players, as evidenced by his promotion to the Under-21 side in January. International players set to return for pre-season

Liverpool have confirmed that 14 players, including new signings Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, will report to the AXA training center on Tuesday to begin preparations for the season.

While an initial group started work on Saturday, another part of the team will return after being granted additional time off due to international commitments in their respective nations earlier this summer.

However, Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones will return later this summer after helping England win the European Under-21 Championship final on Saturday night.

Players back to work Tuesday: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson Becker, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Jordan Henderson, Diogo Jota, Caoimhin Kelleher, Ibrahima Konate, Alexis Mac Allister, Andy Robertson, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, Kostas Tsimikas, Virgil van Dijk.

Mo Salah problem emerges

Egypt Under-23 coach Rogerio Micale has admitted he wants to pick Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah for the Paris Olympics next summer.

The Liverpool striker is set to miss several games in January and February due to the Africa Cup of Nations, with the 31-year-old expected to captain his country in the latest edition of the tournament in Ivory Coast.

Mical has now admitted that he would like to include Salah as an aging player in his squad for the Paris 2024 Olympics, which will take place from July 26 to August 11. Any player selected will likely miss part of the 2024/25 pre-season and start of the season.

JWP decision could affect Lavia’s future

According to the Daily Mail, West Ham are set to make a bid for Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse this week, with his future potentially affecting the future of Liverpool-linked Romeo Lavia.

The Reds’ interest in Lavia has gone public in recent weeks and Jurgen Klopp appears keen to include the 19-year-old in a revamped midfield which will include Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.

However, the relegated Saints would be unwilling to lose both Skipper Ward-Prowse and Lavia in a window, meaning one player’s departure could derail the other.

However, West Ham’s offer is said to be around £20m, half of what Russell Martin’s side are asking for the set-piece specialist.
Is there still hope for Liverpool?

Chelsea insist Levi Colwill is not for sale

Liverpool are interested in Chelsea defender Levi Colwill.
However, Ben Jacobs says the Londoners have no plans to sell out the victorious England U21s.

In a series of tweets, the journalist said: “Chelsea insist Levi Colwill is not for sale. Brighton are well aware of this after a rejected bid earlier this summer. #LFC will not budge unless the situation changes as well.

Pochettino will speak face to face with Colwill, who could take a starting position

“Chelsea’s goal is to get Colwill to sign a new contract. But even if he doesn’t agree this summer, #CFC still has no plans to sell. Colwill should make every move if he’s not convinced by his playing time at Chelsea,” he continues.

“One of the reasons Colwill is so keen to find out if he’s a regular starter is because he’s been made to understand he’s firmly in the picture for Euro 2024. A solid season could see him challenge Harry Maguire to start.The England side, similar to #CFC, appreciate Colwill.

[IG]: Andy Robertson trains with James Maddison ahead of Liverpool return

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson is set to return to the squad this week as the Reds begin their preparations for the season.

On Saturday, Jürgen Klopp welcomed players who weren’t on international duty this summer. The likes of Jordan Henderson and Robertson will be there ahead of their trip to Germany this week.

According to Mundo Deportivo via JuveFC.com, Julen Lopetegui’s team wants to bring the midfielder to Molineux.

Arthur did not appear in the Premier League for Liverpool as his playing time was reduced to 13 minutes in the Champions League defeat to Naples. It’s been claimed that the former Sevilla boss sees the Brazilian as the right addition to his midfield.

Levi Colwill talks Chelsea’s future

Levi Colwill has made it clear that he has yet to make a decision about his future at Chelsea, despite interest from Liverpool and other clubs.

The 20-year-old, who spent the 2021/22 season on loan at Huddersfield Town, has since seen his stock rise further after winning the Under-21 European Championship with England failing to concede a single goal during the tournament.

Such performances should ensure clubs remain interested in a deal for Colwill, who faces a battle for a place in Chelsea’s first team ahead of the new season given the options available for new manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Liverpool are among the teams interested in Colwill, as ECHO first reported in March. He’s a player who could be used effectively at left-back if Jurgen Klopp sticks to the system he tried last season.

Aware that he had reached a critical juncture in his career, Colwill told The Times: “I’m going to talk to my family, to everyone I need, and make a decision. At the end of the day, I have to play, hopefully.” Go there [England senior team] and go to the next camp.”

Leonardo expresses Liverpool’s view being candid about what PSG should do against Kylian Mbappe

Former Paris Saint-Germain head coach Leonardo believes Kylian Mbappe will have to leave the club for Liverpool links.
After winning the France Football trophy, Mbappe gave another explosive interview to the magazine, in which he expressed his displeasure with his current situation.

After the interview was published, reports surfaced that players in the PSG dressing room complained about some of Mbappe’s comments. And the criticism didn’t stop there as Leonardo, who served as Paris sporting director between 2019 and 2022, pushed his former club to sell the striker.

“For PSG, I think it’s time for Mbappe to leave no matter what,” he said in an interview with L’Equipe. “Paris-Saint-Germain existed before Kylian Mbappé and will exist after him.”

“He has been in Paris for six years and in those six seasons five different clubs have won the Champions League [Real Madrid 2018 and 2022, Liverpool 2019, Bayern Munich 2020, Chelsea 2021 and Manchester City 2023]”,

no d They didn’t have Mbappe in their ranks. This means that it is entirely possible to win this competition without him.

“With his behavior over the past two years, Mbappé shows that he is not yet a player capable of really leading a team,” continued Leonardo. “He’s a great player, not a leader. He’s a great goalscorer, not a creative one. It’s hard to build a team around him.

The impossible dream?
PSG striker Kylian Mbappe is frequently in the news and constantly linked with Liverpool.

Its future seems to be destined outside the French capital.
He has won the Golden Boot in the last five Ligue 1 seasons. It seems impossible, but Liverpool have been given a 9/1 stake to bring in the French star.

“I have no doubt that Gerrard would have had another chance elsewhere in England if he had been more patient. I don’t quite understand why he went to Saudi Arabia.”

“As a manager you look for an opportunity to get into the game and Steven Gerrard achieved that by moving to Saudi Arabia.” Gerrard was also successful at Rangers and he was successful. When you’re successful the big clubs call and that’s why Aston Villa was born.

“Success at Villa would have been a top eight, he got off to a really good start so people raised their expectations, but he didn’t and he was criticized.”

“It’s going to be a very dangerous game if you finish outside the top 10. He didn’t survive and he’s now in Saudi Arabia. I have a feeling he would have another opportunity to move to another English club if he was waiting, but he saw an opportunity to go to Saudi Arabia and took it.”

He arrived at Milan last summer after his contract with Anfield expired.

It has been suggested Origi is determined to fight for his place in Stefano Pioli’s squad and has rejected an approach from Saudi Arabia with news linking him with a return to the Premier League.
