“really interesting”: Chelsea will now pay £40 million to sign an “exceptional” player this summer – journalist

Ben Jacobs, a journalist, asserted that Chelsea is now prepared to spend up to £40 million to sign Ajax attacker Mohammed Kudus.

He told GiveMeSport that if an offer of that size does come in, it is still uncertain whether the Dutch side will accept it.

It has come to light that Kudus is one of the players the team is thinking about signing to give their attacking options for the upcoming season a little more depth.

The Cameroonian international has established himself as a highly adaptable member of the attack for club and country, and the Blues undoubtedly benefit greatly from his versatility.

Arsenal and other teams are vying for his services, so they are up against competition. However, it’s thought that they would be prepared to make a higher offer in order to close the deal.

In the present, Jacobs asserts that the Blues are actually prepared to spend up to £40 million to complete the task.

Chelsea was ready to spend £40 million on Kudus.

He declared: “He’s the kind of player Chelsea is looking for. He is a 22-year-old attacking midfielder who wants out of Ajax.

The fee, in my opinion, is going to be really fascinating. We’ll have to wait and see if Chelsea’s asking price of, say, £40 million is sufficient. ”.

The winger for Crystal Palace, Michael Olise, is another player they are thinking about using in the attack. His release clause is said to be very attainable, according to numerous reports.

In order to fend off competition from Manchester City and other clubs, the Blues’ relationship with the player’s family may be crucial.

They are still assessing how seriously his most recent injury will impact his season opener.

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea have finalized a deal to acquire 25-year-old Monaco center-back

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea have finalized a deal to acquire 25-year-old Monaco center-back Axel Disasi, who will become the Blues’ sixth permanent addition of the summer.

Although Disasi has recently been associated with several Premier League teams—Manchester United and Newcastle are just two of the clubs that have been linked with him this summer—the Blues didn’t seem to be in the mix until Sunday, when it unexpectedly became clear that a deal was close.

Romano claims that Chelsea is willing to pay Monaco €45 million for a player who has become more well-known over the past season.

“Chelsea have sealed a deal for Axel Disasi,” the football transfer expert declared.
The two clubs are planning to exchange paperwork and documents.
”.
A medical formality that Disasi still needs to finish is scheduled to be finished early this week. With the possibility of an additional year, he will agree to a five-year contract with the team.

Romano continued by saying that despite interest from both Newcastle and Manchester United, neither of the two Champions League teams decided to make a bid for the player.

Benoit Badiashile, a central defensive colleague of Disasi, was acquired by Chelsea for €38 million in January, making him the second defender from Monaco that Chelsea has acquired in the past two transfer windows.

Season to remember for Axel Disasi.
Disasi participated in each and every one of Monaco’s 49 competitive games in Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, and European football last season as they finished sixth in France. In these games, he scored six goals and assisted on four others.

He also earned four France caps during this time and played a minute in the World Cup final. He also turned pro during this time.

Didier Deschamps has used him as a right-back while playing with Les Bleus despite the fact that he is typically a center-back.

The Expected Transfer Value (xTV) for Disasi is €20 million, which indicates that Chelsea is overpaying to sign him.

Liverpool currently have six undroppable players as £37m deal May be priceless

While playing a preseason friendly against Bayern Munich, Cody Gakpo once again showed his mettle and has the potential to excel at Liverpool.

The Dutchman took Bayern Munich by surprise with a stunt that has become a regular feature of Cody Gakpo’s game since moving to Liverpool eight months ago.

After a deft one-two with Diogo Jota, Gakpo was closing in on Yann Sommer’s goal and only two minutes had passed in Liverpool’s last preseason game before their 2023 tour of Singapore.

Gakpo gave the Bundesliga champions a scare with a sublime weak-footed strike after making one touch to caress the ball and another to steady himself. This gave Liverpool the lead. With Kopties having moved from PSV Eindhoven, the 23-year-old saw this all too familiar sight as he received the ball in a deep central area.
It was a lightning-fast, back-to-front sequence that started.

In addition to being his second preseason goal, the £37 million January signing’s most recent standout performance has him well-positioned to start at Stamford Bridge next weekend.

Even though Josip Stanisic and Frans Kratzig’s late goals sealed an incredible comeback for Bayern Munich, which saw Jurgen Klopp’s team lose 4-3 at the Singapore National Stadium, Liverpool will be returning to Merseyside on Wednesday night with the knowledge that their goal-scoring ranks are strong ahead of the new Premier League campaign.

Aside from his outstanding opening goal, Gakpo’s performance on Wednesday highlighted his place among the essential—and possibly untouchable—members of Liverpool’s team. Only players like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Bryan Ruiz, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, and Mohamed Salah can truly claim to be at such an elite level at Anfield.

That ranking represents a significant difference from the feeling that met his arrival on Merseyside eight months ago after then-sporting director Julian Ward had utilised the festive period to thrash out a deal with his Dutch counterparts at PSV. In fact, the sight of Gakpo posing in Liverpool red for the first time was met with a fair amount of perplexity by some quarters of the fanbase given Klopp’s side had been crying out for midfield reinforcements for the best part of two-and-a-half years.

However, his latest showing in Singapore – not for the first time in the fledgling stages of his Liverpool career – will have left Bayern Munich and other heavyweights of the European game clenching their fists in frustration.

At a time when the Bundesliga champions are looking to right the wrongs of a first season in nine years without Robert Lewandowski by striking a deal for Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane, which, if finalised, is expected to cost in the excess of £90m, Gakpo’s excellence at both leading the line and operating out of possession cannot be understated.

Though even with the apparent impasse in negotiations with the North London outfit, Thomas Tuchel’s side, who also saw their attacking ranks weakened by the departure of Sadio Mane earlier this week, still managed to tally four goals past Alisson Becker.

However, after the questionable officiating that overlooked Wednesday’s game – mainly for Bayern’s first and fourth goals – and Liverpool’s obvious teething problems as their defenders continue to get up to speed with the requirements of their new-look 3-2-2-3 formation, the 4-3 victory certainly holds no danger of persuading Tuchel to cease his long-standing pursuit of Kane.

Having said that, the 2020 Champions League winners are not the only side who will be left to lament Ward’s masterstroke and final notable act as Liverpool’s transfer chief. Of course, such efficiency led to the Reds besting Manchester United in the race to land Gakpo, who, as a fellow Dutchman, Erik Ten Hag had been a main admirer of.

As a result, United’s search for a focal point of their attack has led them to agree to a £72m fee with Atalanta for 20-year-old Rasmus Højlund. His imminent move to Old Trafford comes after stop-gap solution Wout Weghorst fired blank in his 17 Premier League outings last term while on loan from Championship side Burnley.

Meanwhile, back in Singapore, Gakpo’s first-half performance was further complemented by an equally as impressive cameo on the left side of midfield in the second half, shortly before he was replaced by 18-year-old Bobby Clark.

“I played in midfield a few times last season already,” said Gakpo, speaking to the ECHO in the Far East earlier this week. “I just have to see what’s going to happen, if I maybe play in the midfield or in the striker position or somewhere else. There are multiple options. Do I have a preference? Just to play!”.

Bayern Munich would have been understood for being relieved to see the back of Liverpool’s No. 18 when he was withdrawn on 61 minutes. That would, however, stand true if his impending exit wasn’t supplemented by the introductions of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez shortly after half time.

On that basis, it’s fair to say Liverpool’s arsenal is well-stocked ahead of next week’s Premier League get-go.

August 3, 2023
Defenceless! Six things came to light as Bayern Munich ruthlessly exposed Liverpool’s flimsy backline.

Although the Reds have a strong front line, they are once again giving up far too many goals, making a title challenge unlikely.

Liverpool’s 4-3 friendly loss to Bayern Munich in Singapore on Wednesday painfully demonstrated the need for defensive reinforcements. The Reds showed off their offensive prowess once more as Cody Gakpo scored the game’s first goal just two minutes after it began, and Virgil van Dijk doubled their lead.

By utilizing the enormous space between Joel Matip and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Serge Gnabry was able to score once and set up another goal for Leroy Sane to tie the game for Bayern before the break.

After conceding twice in the final two minutes, Josip Stanisic tied the score at 3-3 before Frans Kratzig scored a thunderous goal to give Bayern the victory. Luis Diaz, a second-half substitute who had been set up by Mohamed Salah, restored Liverpool’s lead.

As Jurgen Klopp’s team gave up four goals for the second time in three preseason games, GOAL examines what we learned from the match at the Singapore National Stadium.

The fantastic offensive options for Liverpool.

Liverpool shouldn’t have a problem scoring goals this year. In fact, it wouldn’t be shocking if they challenged Manchester City for the league’s most goals. Their offensive options are truly incredible, as evidenced by the fact that only Salah is currently guaranteed to start against Chelsea on Sunday.

Gakpo is likely the best choice to play through the middle after a successful preseason outing here. The Dutchman demonstrated his talent by combining with Diogo Jota for the game’s opening goal and emphatically finishing with his left foot. Because of his combination of talent and versatility, the latter player could, of course, also play in the middle or out wide. However, Diaz, who handled his goal admirably, is the more natural winger and the left flank would be the preferred position for the majority of supporters.

But let’s not forget that up until this point in their friendly matches, Darwin Nunez had been one of Liverpool’s most intelligent players. He would likely be the more conventional choice to lead the line given his height and physical presence, but his lightning-quick speed makes him a tempting option out wide as well.

At Stamford Bridge, Klopp will have the best kind of selection dilemma because all of his forwards were healthy and productive during preseason.

Jones an option but not the solution at No.6

Liverpool obviously needs a new No.6 after losing both Fabinho and Jordan Henderson to Saudi Arabia.

Romeo Lavia is a target for Southampton, who have already turned down two offers for the Belgian. However, it was encouraging to learn that Fluminense’s Andre is being considered as a potential replacement because a defensive midfield specialist is obviously needed.

The England Under-21 international Curtis Jones has the self-assurance to play the part, as Klopp claimed before the game that he could have “a massive impact in that position.”. In Singapore, he took the ball several times under pressure and used quick, shrewd turns to escape sticky situations. But since the position in question takes some time to master, Liverpool can’t really afford to have Jones pick up skills on the job.

Van Dijk will enjoy the new position.

There were many candidates to replace Henderson as Liverpool’s captain. Van Dijk receiving the armband from Klopp was not entirely unexpected, though. In actuality, the Dutchman was the obvious choice. The most important player on the team is also the defense’s leader.

He clearly enjoys the role, so it wasn’t a surprise when he scored on his first appearance as the team’s new captain. Van Dijk quite literally excelled, towering over the Bayern back line to head in an Andy Robertson corner.

Van Dijk looked like a serious threat every time he moved forward for a set-piece, so Liverpool will be hoping it’s the first of many this season. Even more encouragingly, he made a number of crucial interventions when those around him appeared to be lost, which only served to highlight how well-suited he was for his new position.

In terms of defense, Reds continue to struggle.

Liverpool’s defensive issues haven’t just vanished. The Alexander-Arnold puzzle is still a mystery to Klopp and his coaching staff. However, this inverted right-back position is still causing problems on the right side of the backline, especially when Joel Matip is playing. The versatile England international adds so much offensively when he moves into midfield.

Despite having many positive traits, the Cameroonian simply lacks the necessary speed and agility to cover for Alexander-Arnold when he is occupying more advanced positions, as both of Bayern’s goals highlighted.

In the first instance, Alexander-Arnold was out of position and was unable to react in time to Gnabry’s most straightforward inward run after receiving a pass from Kim Min-jae. Gnabry then cut inside Matip far too easily before scoring the goal.

The second goal was uncannily similar, but this time Alexander-Arnold wasn’t to blame for getting high up the pitch; after all, that’s what he’s supposed to do. As Gnabry was once again given a free run at Matip before leaving Sane with a simple finish, Liverpool simply lost the ball at the worst possible time for him and his team.

Alexander-Arnold’s acceptance by Liverpool entails a gamble, but the question of whether the risk is worthwhile must be raised once more.

Alisson must perform more miracles.

Liverpool is therefore very fortunate that Alisson appears to be on track for another successful season full of incredible saves given their persistent defensive shortcomings. the No. Only David de Gea managed to keep more clean sheets than Alisson (14), despite the fact that 1 was severely let down by his back four countless times last season.

According to this evidence, Liverpool will need the Brazilian to be at his brilliant best once more if they want to stand a chance of returning to the top four. Making a series of sensational stops in Singapore, he at least appears up to the challenge. I mean, Liverpool might have given up eight goals if Alisson hadn’t saved them!

Liverpool transfer update: Jurgen Klopp’s £21.5m Tottenham struggle after Romeo Lavia blow

After receiving offers from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United States, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, a former midfielder for Liverpool, may soon be heading to a new team.

Following Alexis Mac Allister’s knee injury on Wednesday, Liverpool’s need for a new central midfield player has grown.

The complaint was discovered by the Argentina international during Liverpool’s 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich in Singapore. Hopefully, the injury is not too serious, as Jurgen Klopp told reporters, “He could have continued playing.”. There’s no reason to force him to continue. “.

It is a reminder to Klopp to bring in a central midfield player, regardless of Mac Allister’s potential. Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are the five players he lost that can fill the role this summer.

While Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have been added to Liverpool, Klopp still feels that his team needs another central midfield player, ideally one with defensive tendencies. The most recent Merseyside transfer rumors are listed below with that in mind.

Kessie move taken into account.

According to Spanish publication SPORT, Liverpool is interested in acquiring Franck Kessie, a midfielder for Barcelona. With just one lackluster season under his belt, the La Liga champions are expected to let 26-year-old Kessie leave Camp Nou this summer.

The Ivory Coast international has struggled in preseason play, raising concerns for longtime supporters Tottenham and Juventus. However, there are rumors circulating in Spain that Liverpool is also thinking about making a bid for Kessie, who is estimated to be worth €25 million (£21.5 million).

Following his absence from Barcelona’s preseason friendly against AC Milan, Xavi declined to provide any hints regarding Kessie’s potential new team. Xavi said, “Kessie missed the game due to a minor illness.”. In terms of his prospects, he is fully aware of the circumstances. “.

Lavia Competition

Reports from The Independent state that Manchester United is contemplating a bid for Romeo Lavia. Liverpool wants to sign the 19-year-old Belgium international from Southampton, but the Saints are holding out for £50 million after rejecting two offers of £37 million and £41 million.

With Manchester United now in the running, Liverpool’s inability to complete the deal could come back to haunt them. The players up for grabs include Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire, Fred, Donny van der Beek, and Brandon Williams, so Erik ten Hag’s team will have to sell before placing a bid.

With the fact that Southampton paid £10.5m to sign Lavia from Manchester City a year ago, their reluctance to settle for £50m is understandable. They also owe Pep Guardiola’s team 20% of any sales in the future.

Ox’s next club

After leaving Liverpool, Oxlade-Chamberlain is reportedly being pursued by Besiktas, per Sky Sports News. In an attempt to pitch his vision to the 29-year-old England international, it is alleged that Turkish club president Ahmet Nur Cebi met with him at a London hotel.

Though Oxlade-Chamberlain has received offers from US and Saudi Arabian teams, as well as other Turkish clubs, he would prefer to remain in England. Though the midfielder played 146 games for Liverpool, it’s unclear exactly what’s next for him.

Jürgen Klopp gave a Liverpool forward his Champions League debut while he was “in talks” to move on.

In-progress transfer talks could result in the departure of a Liverpool youngster who was regarded highly enough to make his Champions League debut under Jürgen Klopp.

As negotiations with League One team Oxford United advance, Max Woltman, a forward in the Liverpool academy, is on the verge of leaving the organization.

The 2-1 Champions League victory over AC Milan at the San Siro in December 2021 marked the 19-year-old’s first-team debut under Jürgen Klopp.
He has been a member of Liverpool since he was seven years old.

Woltman, however, returned to Liverpool’s under-23s squad for the remainder of the season after a loan stint at Doncaster Rovers last term where he struggled for playing time.

Manager Liam Manning has taken notice of Woltman as he has been playing for Oxford in various friendlies over the summer. Woltman is not an immediate impact player for the team, according to Manning, who views him as a development project.

Manning said (via the ECHO) “We’re talking to Liverpool and exploring what that looks like. “It’s more of a development project than something that will immediately have an effect on the team,” the author said. I believe he is the kind of player who fits how we want to play, considering his personality, character, and some of the qualities he displayed in brief moments.

“We don’t have the next one coming up under that when you look at the competition in his position with Ruben Rodrigues and Billy Bodin. The main factor is how the deal is structured. Everything depends on how the deal ultimately turns out. ”.

Woltman has scored twice in 13 appearances for Barry Lewtas’ under-23 team since his return to Liverpool in January. He was, nonetheless, ineligible to take part in the UEFA Youth League games.

Oxford, which placed 19th in League One last season, is looking to add players to its roster in preparation for the 2023–24 season. It would gain a promising young talent for the future from the potential acquisition of Woltman.

Jürgen Klopp concurs with Pep Guardiola in FIFA request after Saudi transfer raid on Liverpool

After Jordan Henderson and Fabinho left the club, Liverpool felt the impact of Saudi Arabia’s Pro League, and Jürgen Klopp expressed his worries.

Jürgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, has expressed his disapproval of Saudi Arabia’s large football-related investments.

The transfers of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson from Liverpool to the Saudi Pro League, which sparked controversy because of the large contract offers involved, have come after this. With significant financial incentives, Saudi Arabian clubs have gone on a spending binge, bringing in a number of well-known players from Europe.

Both Henderson and Fabinho left Liverpool for the Middle East, and according to reports, Henderson is now making an incredible $891,000 (£700,000/€812,000) a week at Al-Ettifaq, the Mirror reports.

This disparity in transfer window timings between Europe and Saudi Arabia is one of Klopp’s biggest worries. While Saudi clubs have until September 20 to finalize their deals, European clubs have until September 1 to complete their transfer business.

For European teams, this longer window presents a problem because it increases the possibility of losing players before they have time to find suitable replacements. In an effort to address this problem and find solutions that keep European clubs from suffering, Klopp has urged FIFA and UEFA to take action.

He stated, “It is massive, at the moment,” to underscore the seriousness of the situation. The Saudi Arabian transfer window is open for three weeks longer, which is pretty much the worst thing, in my opinion.

That’s not helpful, at least not in Europe, if what I heard is accurate. For that, UEFA or FIFA needs to come up with solutions. But ultimately, I’m not sure exactly what will happen right now.

We can definitely say that it has already had an impact.
It is something we will have to get used to, and that is what we do. I think that’s about all I have to say about it; time will tell. “.

Liverpool and other European teams are already feeling the effects of Saudi Arabia’s spending spree. Manager of Manchester City Pep Guardiola has recently cautioned clubs to be mindful of the shifting dynamics in the market as a result of Saudi Arabian investments, and Klopp’s worries are in line with his concerns.

Guardiola remarked, “When Cristiano [Ronaldo] was the only player to leave a few months ago, nobody imagined this many elite players would play in the Saudi league.”. Clubs must be informed of what is going on because there will be more in the future.

“Saudi Arabia is a fact; it is not about being a threat. They wish to build a powerful league, and as of now, they are the only league capable of doing so. Due to its superior organization and higher broadcast rights, the Premier League was able to spend more than the other leagues.

For how long the Saudi league will continue like that, I’m not sure. The athletes, however, wish to use this experience to play in that league. The market has evolved due to Saudi Arabia. “.

Premier League CEO Richard Masters played down worries about Saudi football’s ascent. He mentioned that something novel is occurring, but for the time being, he is not unduly worried.

Masters further noted that the Premier League’s current standing, level of competition, and sources of income have been developed over decades.

According to report:Liverpool ready to close quick signing of £26m-£34m play breaker

To begin their new Premier League season under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool will play Chelsea away from home in just over ten days.

With only two additions and five departures in the midfield, it will be fair to say that the Reds haven’t been able to adequately strengthen the team thus far.

The Merseysiders must expeditiously finalize a deal for a playmaker to replace Fabinho, and reports suggest that Fluminense’s Andre might be the one to replace his compatriot at Anfield.

According to UOL, the Brazilian team would prefer to keep their prized asset until December before selling it for a sum of roughly 25 to 30 million euros.

However, as claims that Liverpool are willing to swiftly complete the signing of the Selecao player during the current transfer window.

The renowned Spanish news outlet reported that the South American club would demand a fee of £26m-£34m (30-40 million euros) if they had to offload the defensive midfielder this summer.

After Andre, there are other Premier League teams besides the six-time European champions.

The media outlet based in Madrid reports that Fulham is also trying to sign him and that they even had a bid of 20 million euros rejected during the winter transfer window.

Romeo Lavia, a former DM for Manchester City, is still rumored to be interested in joining Liverpool, despite Southampton making no concessions.

We’ll monitor the transfer saga to see how it plays out and will keep you informed.

Liverpool striker confirms his emotional departure from his childhood club after 15 years.

Max Woltman has announced that, after 15 years with the team, he is leaving and moving on to Oxford United.

The 19-year-old will depart Liverpool after playing twice for the first team.

The striker impressed during a club trial this summer and has since signed with Oxford United for an undisclosed sum.

Woltman has now accepted his fate because it was never going to be easy for him to join Jurgen Klopp’s team with Liverpool so loaded up in attack.

A visibly moved Woltman wrote on Instagram: “As a lifelong fan, playing in red since I was five, I never imagined to see so many dreams come true.

“I will never forget the experiences I had while going through the academy, making my debut at San Siro, and making my full debut at Anfield.

The time has come to say goodbye and begin a new chapter, though.

“I want to express my sincere gratitude to all the players, employees, and supporters for the wonderful memories I’ve had during my 15 years as a red.

“Wearing this badge has been an honor. ”.

In 2021, the Reds defeated AC Milan 2-1, and Woltman was making his Liverpool debut during those final few minutes.

The following season, he started the entire first half up front against Shrewsbury before leaving on loan to Doncaster last summer.

The transfer was “a relief,” according to Woltman, who has since settled down in Oxford.

At Oxford, he joins fellow ex-Liverpool player Cameron Brannagan, who joined the team from Liverpool in 2018.

Tyler Morton, who returned to Liverpool this summer after spending a year at Blackburn Rovers, was Woltman’s childhood teammate.

A defender for West Ham is in advanced talks with Liverpool.

If conditions at the London Stadium weren’t already dire, it appears that West Ham will lose one of their highly regarded defenders to Liverpool.

It’s unclear whether David Moyes personally, Tim Steidten, the new technical director, or owner David Sullivan are to blame for the manager’s inability to make any purchases in the current transfer market.

Realistically, it doesn’t really matter who is at fault because it is imperative that new players enter the game right away.

East Londoners should be doing everything in their power to stop the vultures from circling rather than allowing other players to leave the game, even though it’s probably too late for Amara Nallo.

According to Football Insider, the 16-year-old is in advanced negotiations with the Reds, which raises the question of what the Reds’ recruitment department is up to given that he reportedly only recently signed a scholarship contract with the Hammers.

It’s mentioned by Football Insider that the player will be able to sign professional contracts when he turns 17 in November, but that still doesn’t explain how Liverpool managed to snag one of the up-and-coming talents from under the noses of the east Londoners.

It appears as though West Ham is operating in a total panic, making poor decisions left and right.

Liverpool has already made an £82,000-a-week offer for a creative player worth £34 million.

Liverpool have long been linked to Gabri Veiga, the young Spaniard and Celta Vigo, and now the Reds have made an offer to sign him.

However, the Catalan outlet stressed it would be difficult for the Anfield club to match the €40m, or £34m, release clause.

Now, according to Spanish source, Deportes COPE Galicia (via Estadio Deportivo), Liverpool have made a sizable offer of €25m to attract the midfielder.

To sweeten the deal, the Premier League giants are willing to loan the player to Celta so he can play in La Liga next season.

The loan option would certainly not benefit Jurgen Klopp, who is in desperate need of reinforcements in the center after replacing five midfielders this summer. Veiga is a creative attacking midfielder, who directly contributed to 15 goals (11 goals and 4 assists) last season.

In the last game of the season, he helped his youth club survive relegation by scoring a brace against Spanish champions Barcelona.

He made six appearances at the Under-21 European Championship for Spain, playing 31 minutes in the final against England.

Liverpool could have a good chance of signing Veiga from Celta Vigo as former Anfield boss Rafael Benitez is the Spanish side’s manager.

Rafa sold us a jewel in the form of Philippe Coutinho when he was at Inter and Sturridge when he was at Chelsea.

After the transfer to Saudi Arabia was finalized, Fabinho’s wife sent a heartfelt message to Liverpool.

After five years at Liverpool, Fabinho has left the club to join Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia. His wife wrote an emotional farewell letter to the club’s supporters.

Rebeca Tavares, Fabinho’s wife, is upset about his departure from Liverpool for Saudi Arabia.

His time at Liverpool has come to an end as the Brazilian midfielder has finalized a transfer to Saudi Pro League team Al-Ittihad. Since their marriage in 2015, Fabinho and Rebeca have had one child, who was born in 2017.

After the departure was announced, Rebeca posted a sincere message on Instagram. My heart is beating quickly, she said. Since this is life and football, I wasn’t ready to say goodbye (and I still don’t).

“What a beautiful history we created here. What history this “lighthouse” has produced. A red is a red is a red is a red. Anfield, you will be known to my son.
Thank you for your support and love.
ynwa, never.
“.

The success of the team was greatly aided by Fabinho, who moved from Monaco to Liverpool in 2018. He won several trophies with the Reds during his time there, including the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Club World Cup, and Super Cup.

From wives of other current and former Liverpool players, Rebeca’s message was warmly received. I love you guys, said Larissa Firmino, the wife of former Reds number nine Roberto Firmino. “You’re our family,” furthered Natalia Becker, who is wed to goalkeeper Alisson Becker. I appreciate you all.

I adore you guys.
“.

This summer, Fabinho and Jordan Henderson both left Liverpool for the Middle East. Steven Gerrard and former Reds captain Henderson got together at Al-Ettifaq.

29-year-old Fabinho said: “Today I leave my home. Wearing this jersey for five years has always been a source of the highest honor and joy. I’ve been welcomed by everyone at Liverpool since the first day. I felt like family in this club because of what I observed about the relationships between the patrons.

“With that jersey, I won every title a player could hope for, and in these five years, I grew as a player and a man. I won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, and the World Cup because of Liverpool. I was able to enter a stadium holding my son in my arms because of Liverpool, which was a dream come true for me.

“I played in Anfield, the best stadium in the world with the best atmosphere, all thanks to Liverpool. The biggest game of my life, the comeback victory over Barcelona, was made possible by Liverpool, and it was only possible because of Anfield. I will never forget that specific moment. I adore what this group of people stands for in the club.

“I’ve always been impressed by the club and the fans’ love affair. And I can confidently state that the song “You’ll never walk alone,” performed by our supporters after that game, was the most pivotal moment in my time with Liverpool. I genuinely love this club, and I say that with joy. We are grateful for everything we have experienced together, Reds. You’ll never walk by yourself. “.

‘Thomas Tuchel makes sincere Liverpool claim following Bayern Munich victory ‘You can only win’

Liverpool suffered their first defeat of the pre-season today as Bayern Munich cruised to a 4-3 win over the Reds

Thomas Tuchel admitted Liverpool’s strong performance against Bayern Munich came as no surprise despite the wet conditions the match took place in.

Liverpool and Bayern faced off in Singapore yesterday, with the latter winning 4-3 despite starting the game two goals behind. The Bundesliga giants responded to that early setback with goals from Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane before bringing Alisson through twice more late in the game.

The Reds are unbeaten in pre-season so far and will wonder how they ended up on the losing side after such a convincing start in this friendly. You have to give Bayern credit for showing the fighting spirit to stay competitive in a game where little else but pride mattered. Indeed, Tuchel was delighted with the reaction of his players in a game which he acknowledged would always be a true test of his side’s progress in pre-season.

“It’s a very good end to ten tiring days [in Asia], it was very demanding. They took a big step forward today: the performance was good, the result was very good and it was a deserved result against one of them.” “I’m very happy that our players are showing such performance and an exclamation mark at the end of this tour,” he said after the final whistle.

The former Chelsea manager went on to explain why facing Liverpool is always a difficult task: “It was a real away game and we expected it.” There are many Liverpool fans in Singapore and Malaysia. The intensity didn’t surprise me. Maybe it was a little more difficult for us because they started earlier [pre-season] and they will start the season earlier. It was important not to be too shy and to stand up and accept the fight. When you play against Liverpool it’s always an intense game. You can’t expect anything else.

This match showed that we are on the right track. You can only win against Liverpool if you play as a team and go through tough times. “The way the game went was more difficult than it already was because we were down 2-0 and it’s always very physical against Liverpool, so we got up and fought and never abandoned our discipline and fighting spirit.”

The competition to sign “one of the best” English talent has now been won by Liverpool.

Trey Nyoni, a midfield prospect for Leicester City, is reportedly on his way to joining the Liverpool academy after the Reds reportedly beat out other teams for his signature.

The 16-year-old England youth international was signed by the Merseyside giants ahead of competing teams, according to the Secret Scout, who rate Nyoni as “one of the best” players in the nation.

Harvey Owen, a 14-year-old Wolves player, is the only significant addition to the Reds’ youth ranks this window despite Liverpool’s limited academy additions this summer.

Nyoni, a Leicester teenager who impressed with the Foxes last season in the U-18 Premier League and FA Youth Cup, could nevertheless be a significant acquisition for Liverpool.

And now the midfielder will move to Liverpool this summer, where Nyoni will be an exciting new addition to the team’s academy and a potential future senior player for Jurgen Klopp.

Trey Nyoni can achieve his full potential with Liverpool’s assistance.

Liverpool’s academy is no stranger to snagging the best and brightest players in England, and Nyoni’s signing is just one more illustration of the hard work the Reds put in behind the scenes to keep their youth ranks full.

The Merseyside giants, who have one of the best academy systems in the country and have recently produced fantastic players, could help the young midfielder realize his exciting potential.

Nyoni may not succeed Steven Gerrard, but he or she will soon be able to follow in the footsteps of Curtis Jones and Trent Alexander-Arnold and make the leap from the Liverpool academy to the senior squad, which is the goal of many young players.

In addition to Romeo Lavia, Liverpool “makes an opening bid” for a second midfielder.

In order to strengthen his midfield this summer, Jurgen Klopp is said to have made an initial offer for Celta Vigo midfielder Gabri Veiga. The Reds are preparing an improved offer for Southampton’s Romeo Lavia after having an initial offer of £34million plus £4m worth of add-ons rejected by the Saints last week.

Lavia continues to be a top priority for Klopp, but he is reportedly also interested in hiring Veiga.

The Spanish publication claim Liverpool intend to strike up a cheaper deal by loaning him back to the La Liga side for the 2023/2024 campaign. PSG and Chelsea are also said to keen on the player and are willing to match his release clause.

However, the possibility of keeping Veiga for another season may be an appealing proposition for Celta Vigo. Club president Carlos Mourino has made it clear he will not let the player go unless his release clause is met.

“We don’t want to sell under any circumstances but they are going to buy [Veiga] from us,” admitted Mourino. “We know some of the offers, we wouldn’t be able to pay him what other teams do.

“Gabri has Celta’s feelings and will always have the doors open but it will depend exclusively on him and what they are offering him is irresistible. He will decide where he wants to go but that club will have to pay the clause.

“Of the top 10 teams in the Premier League, four have asked. For us, it’s not for sale. We refer to the clause. We have nothing to negotiate with anyone. “.

Former Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez was appointed as Celta Vigo’s head coach in June and isn’t planning on doing his old club any favours either. Benitez told Sport last month that he wants Veiga in his side next season.

“We are talking about an important player,” the 63-year-old explained. “Who comes from the academy, and I would be delighted to have him continue with us. ”.

“It would be exciting for everyone, and I will try to improve him as much as possible if he continues with us. I like him a lot, he’s a great player and I’m counting on him.
”.
According to Deportes COPE Galicia, Liverpool have placed a £21.5m bid on the table for Veiga, which is way below his £34.4m release clause.

After the transfer to Saudi Arabia was finalized, Fabinho’s wife sent a heartfelt message to Liverpool.

After five years at Liverpool, Fabinho has left the club to join Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia. His wife wrote an emotional farewell letter to the club’s supporters.

Rebeca Tavares, Fabinho’s wife, is upset about his departure from Liverpool for Saudi Arabia.

His time at Liverpool has come to an end as the Brazilian midfielder has finalized a transfer to Saudi Pro League team Al-Ittihad. Since their marriage in 2015, Fabinho and Rebeca have had one child, who was born in 2017.

After the departure was announced, Rebeca posted a sincere message on Instagram. My heart is beating quickly, she said. Since this is life and football, I wasn’t ready to say goodbye (and I still don’t).

“What a beautiful history we created here. What history this “lighthouse” has produced. A red is a red is a red is a red. Anfield, you will be known to my son.
Thank you for your support and love.
ynwa, never.
“.

The success of the team was greatly aided by Fabinho, who moved from Monaco to Liverpool in 2018. He won several trophies with the Reds during his time there, including the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Club World Cup, and Super Cup.

From wives of other current and former Liverpool players, Rebeca’s message was warmly received. I love you guys, said Larissa Firmino, the wife of former Reds number nine Roberto Firmino. “You’re our family,” furthered Natalia Becker, who is wed to goalkeeper Alisson Becker. I appreciate you all.

I adore you guys.
“.

This summer, Fabinho and Jordan Henderson both left Liverpool for the Middle East. Steven Gerrard and former Reds captain Henderson got together at Al-Ettifaq.

29-year-old Fabinho said: “Today I leave my home. Wearing this jersey for five years has always been a source of the highest honor and joy. I’ve been welcomed by everyone at Liverpool since the first day. I felt like family in this club because of what I observed about the relationships between the patrons.

“With that jersey, I won every title a player could hope for, and in these five years, I grew as a player and a man. I won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, and the World Cup because of Liverpool. I was able to enter a stadium holding my son in my arms because of Liverpool, which was a dream come true for me.

“I played in Anfield, the best stadium in the world with the best atmosphere, all thanks to Liverpool. The biggest game of my life, the comeback victory over Barcelona, was made possible by Liverpool, and it was only possible because of Anfield. I will never forget that specific moment. I adore what this group of people stands for in the club.

“I’ve always been impressed by the club and the fans’ love affair. And I can confidently state that the song “You’ll never walk alone,” performed by our supporters after that game, was the most pivotal moment in my time with Liverpool. I genuinely love this club, and I say that with joy. We are grateful for everything we have experienced together, Reds. You’ll never walk by yourself. “.

A defender for West Ham is in advanced talks with Liverpool.

If conditions at the London Stadium weren’t already dire, it appears that West Ham will lose one of their highly regarded defenders to Liverpool.

It’s unclear whether David Moyes personally, Tim Steidten, the new technical director, or owner David Sullivan are to blame for the manager’s inability to make any purchases in the current transfer market.

Realistically, it doesn’t really matter who is at fault because it is imperative that new players enter the game right away.

East Londoners should be doing everything in their power to stop the vultures from circling rather than allowing other players to leave the game, even though it’s probably too late for Amara Nallo.

According to Football Insider, the 16-year-old is in advanced negotiations with the Reds, which raises the question of what the Reds’ recruitment department is up to given that he reportedly only recently signed a scholarship contract with the Hammers.

It’s mentioned by Football Insider that the player will be able to sign professional contracts when he turns 17 in November, but that still doesn’t explain how Liverpool managed to snag one of the up-and-coming talents from under the noses of the east Londoners.

It appears as though West Ham is operating in a total panic, making poor decisions left and right.

The replacement for Fabinho may already be found, according to Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool.

Before the start of the new Premier League season, Jurgen Klopp will need to fill the void left by Fabinho’s departure.

Fabinho’s replacement at Liverpool, Curtis Jones, has been mentioned by Jurgen Klopp, who was impressed with the 22-year-old at the end of the previous campaign. Fabinho, a Brazilian midfielder who spent five years with the Reds on Merseyside, announced on Monday that he would be leaving the team after a reported £40 million move to Al-Ittihad.

Jordan Henderson was sold to Al-Ettifaq a few days prior to Fabinho’s departure, leaving Liverpool worryingly short of options in the middle of the park less than a fortnight before the start of the new season. The six-time European champions will undoubtedly try to add some new players before the summer transfer window closes, but Klopp has suggested that Jones might be a surprise choice to fill the void.

The Liverpool manager stated during a press conference in Singapore that Jones is undoubtedly one of the options in the current setup and the composition of the squad. “I think it’s no secret that we are still looking for players to join us; however, using what you already have is equally important, and I think Curtis can play that position with no problem.

“Can he play it when no one else in the team is defending? No, there’s no chance, but then again, I don’t know any player who can do that. But if you truly comprehend the current state of affairs, a proven 6 is not currently available. Do we offer an explanation for this?

“A lot of things can happen during the season; this has always been true. We approach it as a challenge and work to find a solution that is nonetheless compact. With the ball in his hands, Curtis can without a doubt make a significant impact. His growth over the past few months since he’s been here, in my opinion, has been truly amazing.

“Held back by some injuries sustained at the wrong time and for too long. It’s not anyone’s fault; it just happens to young players. The steps he took prior to that were excellent. It makes sense for him to be on the field. If no one else is there, he can definitely play that position. “.

Jones played in the Premier League only 18 times last season, but the latter part of the year was arguably when he was at his best while playing for Liverpool. When Jones was given responsibility by Klopp for running the show in the backroom, he frequently excelled in the middle of the park and the Reds went on to win all 11 of their final games.

It’s unclear whether he will be able to continue where he left off when the new season starts, but Klopp’s high praise suggests that he will at least be given the chance to prove himself in Fabinho’s absence. Romeo Lavia of Southampton is rumored to be one of the players Liverpool is considering signing, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see them search the market for another midfielder.

It has always been the case that a lot can happen during the season. We consider it a challenge and work to be as compact as possible despite that. Without a doubt, Curtis can make a significant impact from that position when in possession. His growth over the past few months since he’s been with us, in my opinion, has been truly amazing.

“Held back by some accidents that happened at the wrong time and for too long. Nobody is at fault; it simply occurs with young players. He had taken some really good steps prior to that. It makes sense to have him on the field. If no one else is available, he can definitely play that position. “.

It is unclear whether he will be able to continue where he left off when the new campaign gets underway, but Klopp’s high praise suggests that he will at least be given the chance to prove himself in Fabinho’s absence. Romeo Lavia of Southampton is rumored to be one of the players Liverpool is considering when searching the transfer market for a new midfielder. However, this would not be unexpected.
