Liverpool transfer summary: Jordan Henderson supported as Jurgen Klopp approves Newcastle offer
Share
Liverpool fans are still eagerly awaiting Jordan Henderson’s move to Saudi club Al-Ettifaq while Fabinho also heads to the Middle East.
Liverpool’s job in the summer transfer window is far from done as Jurgen Klopp prepares for some high-profile departures.
The Saudi Pro League could potentially wreak havoc for the Reds as Jordan Henderson is still awaiting a huge cash offer from rivals Al-Ettifaq. Brazilian midfielder Fabinho is almost certain to join Al-Hilal for a transfer fee of £40million.
Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister and RB Leipzig player Dominik Szoboszlai have already arrived at Anfield but further reinforcements could soon be needed.
Klopp could have done without this headache as he prepares his team to recover from a difficult season. Fowler backs Henderson for ‘outrage’
Former Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has backed Jordan Henderson amid criticism over his move to Saudi Arabia.
Fowler, now manager of Saudi Premier League club Al-Qadsiah, said: “I can see the usual outrage has been instilled after top figures in British football got involved in the Saudi Pro League.”
“It was Jordan Henderson’s alleged wages that sparked the outrage. I’ve never really understood why footballers’ wages are such a sensitive issue when the billions the financiers earn are never questioned. I don’t I’m not going to judge Jordan, Steven.” Gerrard or anyone else who went to Saudi Arabia for work.”
Newcastle United have made an £82million bid for Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, according to WinWinAllSports. He’s a player previously linked with Liverpool and Klopp made no secret of his admiration for the star last year:
“He’s a really good lad and very fast and you have to defend him together in times like these.” said the German coach. “If he has the advantage of the first movement, he is already gone.
“You have to try to be there when the ball goes in, but if you can’t do that you have to be protected because he’s quick, he’s cheeky, he goes in, he can go out, that always makes it very difficult. ”
Former Reds star attacked by Tuchel
A return to Liverpool seems highly unlikely for Sadio Mane, but the prospect of him leaving Bayern has certainly been mooted.
Coach Thomas Tuchel has given a stark assessment of the striker’s first season in Germany, plagued by injuries and disappointing form. The Senegalese star was even banned and fined by his club in April after he allegedly beat teammate Leroy Sane. “Sadio actually had an underwhelming season and fell short of expectations,” he said.
“The competitive situation is very high for him with Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry. We have a setup that makes life very difficult for Sadio. Even the player knows it, he knows my opinion and that of the club.”

Ryan Gravenberch makes a comeback and Jürgen Klopp considers a target for Manchester United in the latest Liverpool transfer news.
Liverpool transfer news: Ryan Gravenberch, a star for Bayern Munich, has returned, and Jürgen Klopp is reportedly eyeing a player that Manchester United likes (again).
Fabinho, the Brazilian number six who is expected to move to Saudi Arabia, must be replaced at the center of Liverpool’s midfield. The Reds will need to make at least one more change in the pitch’s middle after they already made one.
Jordan Henderson, the team’s captain, has drawn interest from the Middle East in addition to Fabinho, though no bids for the former Sunderland player have yet been made public. In contrast to Fabinho, Henderson is currently in Germany with his Liverpool teammates.
Liverpool will be required to find replacements should one, the other, or both players move. It will need to be someone who arrives with decent caliber as well, given the experience between the two.
The precise names on the shopping list of new sporting director Jörg Schmadtke have not yet been revealed, but Liverpool must make the right choice for the position of Fabinho’s replacement.
When Fabinho leaves, a few names have been mentioned as potential replacements. Here is the Liverpool . com opinion on the transfer rumors that have been swirling around the Reds today.
Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat.
Sofyan Amrabat, a World Cup star who was linked to Liverpool in January, could take Fabinho’s place as a replacement. The Moroccan is one of the names being considered, according to The Athletic.
Amrabat is a naturally talented holding midfielder, but at the age of 26, he needs to advance significantly quickly to meet Liverpool’s standards. Although he’s a good player, Fabinho wasn’t at his best.
The Independent had earlier this week’s report that the midfielder was also being looked at by Manchester United. However, given Erik ten Hag’s other ventures, any action would be dependent on sales.
There would be a lot of “what if?” if Liverpool did sign Amrabat this summer when he was first reported to be available in January, according to Liverpool . com. It is not that simple, of course, but Amrabat would not be the kind of game-changing addition that most are hoping for post-Fabinho regardless if the deal had simply been made six months in advance.
Ryan Gravenberch(Bayern Munich)
According to Sky Sports reporter Melissa Reddy, Ryan Gravenberch of Bayern Munich, who Liverpool had interest in earlier in the summer, is another player on the list to replace Fabinho.
Instead of standing out as a player who can play as a lone holding midfielder, Gravnberch is more of an attack-minded player who can double-pivot alongside another player.
According to Liverpool.com, Gravenberch might change the way he plays if Liverpool sees something in him. Alternately, Gravenberch is not the main target; Liverpool has its sights set on a different player. The Bayern Munich star has already stated that, if at all possible, he would prefer to remain with the German powerhouses, with a lack of playing time currently being his only complaint.
