News involving Liverpool transfer: $65 million defender is “ready to depart,” and competition is building up for a “new Paul Pogba.”

News about a Liverpool transfer as a defender who has been linked to the Reds is apparently prepared to quit his team. Paul Pogba-like 17-year-old has also been mentioned as a potential addition.

There is just over a month left in the season, which is a frightening notion. Naturally, this implies that Jürgen Klopp has a limited number of games remaining in control of Liverpool.

Naturally, after almost nine years in charge, the German will be leaving Anfield at the end of the current campaign. Up to 13 games remain before he says goodbye, with both the Premier League and the Europa League on the line.

Naturally, there isn’t much place for sentiment right now considering the status of the title competition. With eight league games left, Liverpool is in the lead. With Arsenal and Manchester City poised to take advantage, a mistake against United on Sunday would be disastrous.

After Xabi Alonso ruled himself out, Rúben Amorim is now the front-runner to succeed Klopp off the field. Naturally, rumours regarding the players the new manager might bring with them follow the rumours about who will be the new manager. The Liverpool.com assessment of the transfer rumours circulating about the Reds today includes

Leny Yoro (Lille)

In light of Liverpool’s interest, Lille defender Leny Yoro is allegedly prepared to depart this summer. The 18-year-old is having a fantastic season in France, and several elite teams, including Manchester United, Arsenal, PSG, and Real Madrid, are showing interest in signing him.

Telefoot claims that Liverpool is also interested in the France youth international, whose current team is paying him a cool $65 million (£51 million/€60 million). But it looks he has no intention of signing an extension when his contract expires in 2025.

Therefore, Lille might have to settle for a lower price or run the danger of losing the teenager for nothing. Liverpool has reportedly been keeping an eye on the defender in recent weeks as it aims to bolster its defence this summer, according to HITC.

In addition to the aforementioned teams, Yoro is reportedly impressing Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, and Chelsea, all of which may make moves during the summer window.

Liverpool.com comments: Yoro is an extremely gifted player, but for a teenage player with little experience, Lille’s asking price seems excessively costly. Liverpool may be able to enter if the French team is forced to reduce its demands due to the player’s refusal to sign a new contract. With Joël Matip expected to leave at the conclusion of his contract, a centre defender is probably on the radar.

Assan Ouédraogo (Schalke)

A lot of teams are reportedly keeping an eye on Schalke adolescent Assan Ouédraogo, including Liverpool. The 17-year-old was promoted to Schalke’s first squad at the beginning of this season after catching the attention of Germany’s youth team.

This season, he scored the most goals for the club ever, but with Schalke presently in the German second division’s midtable, there is concern that he would leave. Comparable to Paul Pogba, Ouédraogo has a contract that runs until 2027 but has a generous $22 million (£17 million/€20 million) release clause.

Goal claims that Liverpool is considering a summer transfer for the teenager, but Manchester United and Chelsea will provide competition. Bayern Munich is rumoured to be eager to sign him and is claimed to have already communicated with his representation.

Liverpool.com states; Despite the fact that Ouédraogo is just 17 years old, that the Reds are correct to be monitoring the world’s top young players, and he seems to have a very promising future. This season, Liverpool has demonstrated its willingness to give young players a chance, and any reported targets this summer should take note.
