Liverpool Transfer News Today: Gerrard SNUBBED the Man Utd move, Andre Twist, and Mbappe NEVER forgot the Reds pitch

Now that the January window of 2024 has begun, we will provide you with daily updates on the most recent speculations and news regarding Liverpool transfers as they develop.

We’re here with another update on the ongoing Kylian Mbappe saga today, along with a new perspective on an approach that, predictably, went completely nowhere for the Reds legend.

KYLIAN MBAPPE HAS ‘NEVER FORGOTTEN’ LIVERPOOL TRANSFER PITCH CLAIMS FRENCH REPORT

With another crazy day of rumours and conjecture about the future of the PSG and France megastar, the battle to sign Kylian Mbappe continues.

If Mbappe decides to leave the French city on a free transfer this summer, Real Madrid is still the clear favourite to sign him. In the meantime, PSG is holding out hope that the 25-year-old striker will agree to a new deal at Parc des Princes.

The rumours that Mbappe will sign a contract with Liverpool are still circulating, and the French daily L’Equipe has given Reds supporters fresh hope by disclosing additional details about his fondness for the team based on their conversations before to his departure for PSG.

“Neither the courtship the Reds showed the striker when he was still in Monaco nor the conversations had aboard the English club’s shareholders’ private jet as it flew over the Mediterranean will ever be forgotten. If Carlo Ancelotti is a well-liked coach, Jurgen Klopp is equally adept at it.”

Will Real Madrid switch to Advantage Liverpool as Plan B emerge?

Real Madrid, one of Mbappe’s other major suitors, has lost hope of signing the PSG star and is now looking at alternative options for their attack line going forward.

Mbappe reportedly declined to meet with Madrid’s deadline for a summer transfer as he continues to consider his options.

According to a recent AS report from Spain, Madrid is reportedly considering signing Erling Haaland in its place because “it is not clear that the Mbappe option will bear fruit.”

Madrid’s acquisition of Haaland may benefit Liverpool in two ways: it may pave the way for Mbappe to join, and it will also free up one of their top players from a direct opponent like Manchester City.

After turning down Liverpool’s offer for Andre, Fluminense is now concerned.

Fluminense is now concerned that they turned down Liverpool’s offer for Andre too soon. In the summer, the Reds attempted to acquire him.

This is from Victor Lessa, a journalist. It’s said that after everything seemed so promising in the summer, Fluminense are now concerned about Andre’s future.

Back then, Andre was a much talked-about player, and Liverpool made a bid to acquire the defensive midfielder. Fluminense, however, turned down the proposition since they were still focused on winning the Copa Libertadores.

The plan was to make winning the competition the top priority and to increase his value as a result of the victory. To be honest, not many people at Liverpool could argue with it; it made perfect sense.

In fact, Fluminense went on to win the Copa Libertadores, which allowed Andre to leave in January. The offers, however, are absent.

Liverpool abandoned their pursuit of signing Andre as soon as Wataru Endo and the team gelled. Joao Palinha is currently at Fulham, another possible destination, and they won’t need to recruit a new player until the summer at the latest.

HOW MAN UTD TRANSFER WAS SNUBBED BY STEVEN GERRARD

Steven Gerrard joining Manchester United seems inconceivable, and it was unthinkable as well. However, Gerrard was once very much at the top of Sir Alex Ferguson’s Old Trafford shopping list, regardless of what he might have later stated in his book.

Twenty years later, Sky Sports analyst Gary Neville recalled how, while representing England, he attempted to convince legendary Anfield player Steven Gerrard to join the Reds’ fiercest rivals at Ferguson’s request. As expected, he did not make much progress.

“I went to see Stevie, and he was quite categorical pretty quickly,” Neville said to The Overlap. “My family and I would never be able to leave Liverpool,” he remarked in a serious tone. They were his exact words to me. That’s something I never forget.”

On his Instagram Stories, Gerrard offered an alternative interpretation of the events, stating to his erstwhile England teammate, “It was a polite F#&k off”.
