Liverpool have reportedly beaten Man City in the race for a $33m centre-back, while the Reds will be pleased with the latest developments in the transfer of Moisés Caicedo.

Last weekend, Liverpool kicked off their planned midfield rebuild with the signing of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton.

In one sense, as the Reds moved to close the deal with impressive speed, the timing of the transfer aroused impatience.

Some supporters are already getting a little restless and wondering what will happen after such a promising start.

At the moment, Jürgen Klopp, sporting director Jörg Schmadtke and the recruiting team appear to be evaluating options behind the scenes.

Athletic’s James Pearce has suggested a possible pre-selection of five players: Khéphren Thuram from Nice, Manu Koné from Borussia Mönchengladbach, Gabri Veiga from Celta Vigo, Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich and Roméo Lavia from Southampton.

These players may have passed the “ability test,” but they must also tick the “availability” and “affordability” boxes (via The Athletic).

Liverpool will have the chance to see four of these players (apart from Lavia) in action at the European Under-21 Championship which kicks off next week.

The tournament runs until July 8 which could lead to delays for the Reds. However, it’s worth remembering that their season kicks off on August 13 when they travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea.

According to a report from El Nacional, Liverpool may have beaten Manchester City by signing centre-back from Wolfsburg Micky van de Ven, outbidding the Premier League champions and agreeing to pay $33m (£26m). sterling / 30 million euros).

Klopp is a huge fan of the player while Schmadtke knows him well from his time at Wolfsburg. The player is also said to have agreed to the transfer and could be a good fit for the Reds in the short and long term.

Caicedo highlights Reds transfer triumph

According to The Telegraph, Liverpool’s Premier League rivals Chelsea could be asked to pay up to $154m (£120m/€141m) for Brighton midfielder Moisés Caicedo.

The Seagulls have already lost their other star player of last season, Mac Allister, for a fee of just $45m (£35m/€41m) after Liverpool activated a clause in his contract.

And as James Findlater writes, Brighton’s star rating for Caicedo could demonstrate just how big of a deal the Argentinian was, as well as many other deals going on this summer.

Declan Rice, for example, will cost well over $100m, while Liverpool are looking for other deals that will prove excellent value.

Liverpool has a shortlist of five players for their upcoming acquisition, as Jorg Schmadtke seeks his first contract.

Liverpool is making moves in the transfer window to bring in a number of new stars for Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool has five midfielders on their short list as Jorg Schmadtke, the new transfer chief at Anfield, looks to make his first acquisition. However, Alexis Mac Allister’s arrival has been long anticipated and was the last of Julian Ward’s administration before Schmadtke took over. Alexis Mac Allister recently became the Reds’ first signing.

In order to further implement his new system, which has seen Trent Alexander-Arnold switch from right-back to center-midfield, Klopp is expected to make additional additions to the midfield. Manu Kone and Khephren Thuram interest has been well-documented, but Liverpool has also been tipped to challenge Newcastle for Gabri Veiga.

Veiga, a 21-year-old star for Celta Vigo, does have a release clause of £34 million, according to Fabrizio Romano, and the La Liga club is unwilling to negotiate a fee lower than that stated in his contract. As a result, Liverpool allegedly spoke with Veiga’s entourage.

In an interview with Romano for the Here We Go podcast, he stated, “Last week and this week Liverpool had some conversations with people close to Gabri Veiga. He plays with a lot of energy, and I think he’s one of the best young players in the world. One of the teams with the greatest interest in this player is Liverpool.

There were rumors that a deal with Newcastle was already finalized, but that is not true at all. Liverpool is very interested in Gabri Veiga; there is a release clause, and Liverpool is thinking about taking advantage of this significant opportunity. Consider your next move at this time. Gabri Veiga, Thuram, and Kone are all names. However, sincerity be damned, I wouldn’t be shocked if Liverpool decided to pursue a player we didn’t mention today or a different opportunity. as a result of their character. They enjoy spotting the ideal chance. ”.

Romeo Lavia is another starlet who is admired by the Anfield management, though Liverpool may have some out-of-the-box names on their list. Arsenal will be a rival, though, as they want to pair the Southampton midfielder with Declan Rice despite the Saints’ £45 million price tag on the former Manchester City player.

Since Ryan Gravenberch did not leave the desired impression during his first season at Bayern Munich, Liverpool is also interested in him and will have access to him this summer. The Dutch international recently stated his desire to play regular football, which opened the door for him to move elsewhere.

“I had anticipated receiving more opportunities and minutes than I actually did. He told De Telegraaf, “I had done very good preparation and thought I deserved it.
“All I want is to play more, ideally for Bayern Munich.
Additionally, I play exclusively at a club.

“I prefer that, too.
I say this because I don’t want another year to be like this one.
such a one.
A good first season taught me a lot.
I only want to play football, though. “.
