    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.

    Ryan Gravenberch.
    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.

    There is “blood in the water,” according to a journalist, as Liverpool tries to sign a player for £40 million.

    Levi Colwill, a defender for Chelsea, is the target of Liverpool, who genuinely believe they can sign him.
    Levi Colwill, a defender for Chelsea, is the target of Liverpool, who genuinely believe they can sign him.

    Colwill has emerged as the Reds’ top target to bolster their defense this summer. However, the general consensus has been that it will be extremely challenging to pry him away from Chelsea.

    But, according to author Graeme Bailey, that might no longer be the case. Bailey asserted during an appearance on 90min’s Talking Transfer Podcast that Liverpool is becoming more optimistic about the possibility of a transfer.

    According to our understanding, Liverpool believes they can free him, the journalist says. The opportunity for Levi Colwill to play for Chelsea is guaranteed.

    Although Chelsea doesn’t want him to leave, players who don’t commit to their futures are sold. There is something in this that I believe Colwill finds appealing.

    Liverpool is pushing for this quite hard because they can see that there is blood in the water. At Anfield, there is a conviction that they can land him because he is their top target right now.
    ”.

    Colwill’s support from Liverpool is growing.

    Liverpool has increased its offer to secure the signing to over £25.7 million.
    It will cost Liverpool a fortune to sign Colwill this summer, whether or not you believe it. It won’t be cheap if Chelsea eventually caves and sells the 20-year-old.

    Brighton has reportedly given up after having a £30 million offer rejected. The Seagulls allegedly had a £40 million offer on the way, but it has not yet been delivered.

    They appear willing to pay whatever sum is required on behalf of Liverpool in order to bring Colwill to Anfield.

    They appear to think the England U21 star wants the transfer and are prepared to put Chelsea to the test. However, no firm offer appears to be forthcoming as of yet.

    Liverpool’s current attention is perhaps too much on improving their midfield. They still don’t know how that part of the roster will look come next season, but they are fairly settled in defense.

    Jurgen Klopp still has four excellent center-back options if Colwill isn’t signed, for instance. The repercussions will be worse if he fails to bring in another midfielder.

    Therefore, it might be some time before we actually see any movement with regard to Colwill going to Liverpool. But perhaps that’s okay as long as his situation at Chelsea is precarious.

    A young player for Liverpool claims that he is currently competing to make Jurgen Klopp's starting lineup.Conor Bradley, a Liverpool prospect, has said that this year’s preseason “feels different” for him.

    Last season, the right-back had a standout loan experience at Bolton Wanderers.
    Bradley has a good chance of earning a spot in the first team roster because Calvin Ramsay is on loan to Preston North End for the 23–24 season.

    And the 20-year-old said he’s aiming to do just that when he spoke to liverpoolfc . com for the first time since his return from Bolton.

    The biggest preseason of my career thus far, he declared, was unquestionably. “Of course, I believe every pre-season will be the most important for me, but I’m looking forward to this one and seeing how I do.

    “It just feels different than the last preseason I participated in. I’m currently competing for a spot in this squad. I want to work hard and compete for that position.

    “I think I play much better than I did the last time I was here. I’m eager to demonstrate my abilities during the preseason. The last few years have been crazy, but I just want to keep working and moving forward to see where it leads. ”.

    Bradley is desperate for a chance with Liverpool.

    These are the kinds of conversations that Jurgen Klopp will adore hearing from the young right-back. After destroying everyone in his path in League One the previous season, Bradley appears eager to continue growing.

    A young right-back at Liverpool can naturally only set himself up for so much success. Bradley won’t be anything like a regular next season because Trent Alexander-Arnold will be ahead of him.

    Though you never know, to be fair. Trent might convince Klopp to start him in midfield on a permanent basis if the Northern Ireland international can do so.

    Jurgen has so far been apprehensive to take that action. But to be fair, Liverpool has never had a full-back who was good enough to stand in for him.

    That might soon change if Bradley is able to reach his early potential.

    In either case, the young man at Anfield has a wide open door. Now he has the chance to continue working through it.

    If he is prepared for that, it will be clear in the coming weeks.
    If he performs well, he’ll undoubtedly be on the team the following year.
    He will return to being on loan if he doesn’t impress enough. Bradley should be closely watched no matter what happens.

    The 23-year-old midfielder with a reputation for hard tackles is being watched by Liverpool.

    A young player for Liverpool claims that he is currently competing to make Jurgen Klopp's starting lineup.
    This summer, Fabinho, a midfielder for Liverpool, has been mentioned in transfer rumors.

    The Brazilian international midfielder is reportedly on the verge of leaving after Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad made a £40 million offer for him.

    The midfielder Florentino Luis of Benfica is reportedly one of the candidates Liverpool is considering as a replacement.

    Ryan Gravenberch, Romeo Lavia, and Sofyan Amrabat are among the players the Reds are reportedly interested in, according to a report from Liverpool Echo.

    Luis, meanwhile, has been an important member of Benfica and might end up being a good, long-term addition to the Liverpool midfield.

    The 23-year-old is outstanding at stopping opposition attacks and defending the back four.

    His attributes are what Liverpool’s midfield needs. Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have already been added to the team, but they still need to add some physicality and defensive cover.

    On paper, Florentino Luis appears to be the best choice to take Fabinho’s place, but whether Liverpool and Benfica can reach an agreement is still up in the air.

    It is reasonable to assume that the Reds might have to fork over a premium as the Portuguese team will not want to sell a key player for a pittance.

    The 23-year-old has the talent to succeed in English football, and Jurgen Klopp’s system will benefit from his physicality and athleticism. The player has the skills to make the investment worthwhile, and the signing could prove to be a wise one in the long run.

    Agent claims Liverpool transfer talks are a potential fit for Jürgen Klopp’s midfielder.

    Agent claims Liverpool transfer talks are a potential fit for Jürgen Klopp's midfielder.According to an agent, Liverpool have spoken with his client, and Jürgen Klopp, who has already stated his requirements, may find him to be the perfect player.

    Little has been said about the club’s future plans in the midst of all the talk about Liverpool’s rebuilding at the senior level and potential departures. Liverpool is still actively recruiting exciting young talent, though, as a recent claim by an agent indicates.

    Pape Demba Diop, one of the U20 AFCON’s young stars this year, has been the subject of a conversation between Gerald Sagoe and TuttoMercatoWeb about the future of his client. In that interview, Sagoe disclosed that Liverpool and he had discussions regarding Diop, and that the player’s future is still up in the air.

    The agent said, “Liverpool contacted us toward the end of last season while he was busy with the national team, and we had preliminary meetings in Paris.

    “Some Italian teams, including Napoli, have expressed interest, and three French teams have as well. We will have some appointments in Germany over the next few weeks with my attorney Alessandro Mazzucato. See what transpires, shall we? “.

    According to an agent, Liverpool have spoken with his client, and Jürgen Klopp, who has already stated his requirements, may find him
    Liverpool’s interest in Diop will be unexpected if it is true. The Reds are known for actively scouting youth competitions, but they infrequently take decisive action to sign players who catch their attention. The last time Liverpool made a move like this in response to an AFCON youth competition was in 2015, shortly after signing Taiwo Awoniyi.

    But it might be interesting to break that eight-year trend with Diop. The Senegalese midfielder completely dominated the U20 AFCON this year, finishing with five goals in six games to finish as the tournament’s leading scorer and ultimately assisting his nation in winning the championship.

    He scored against Israel during the U20 World Cup as well, but his team was unable to avoid losing in the group stage.

    Diop is the kind of midfielder who would fit Jürgen Klopp’s style because he has a high defensive work-rate and is very effective at providing stability in the midfield. He can play in between the lines and as a box-to-box player with excellent vision and ball control.

    He had an impressive average of 4 points and 12 interceptions per 90 plays in the African Cup of Nations, including an impressive 8 interceptions against Tunisia in the semifinal. In addition, he won 63.2 percent of his 60.8 defensive duels, recovering 7.87 points per 90 attempts.

    He possesses the special qualities Liverpool look for because of his ability to be a poacher and frequently find himself in goal-scoring situations.
    Diop, a 19-year-old from Senegal, only recently relocated to Europe.

    His first season at the club level was spent settling in and getting accustomed to life in Europe. Being in relegation contention for the entire Belgian season did not help his team’s cause. As a result, his one appearance for Zulte Waregem during the previous season was a brief cameo that did not adequately highlight his abilities.

    Agent claims Liverpool transfer talks are a potential fit for Jürgen Klopp's midfielder.
    But thankfully, he has excelled on a global stage, which is why so many clubs are vying for his services and hoping to benefit from Zulte Waregem’s relegation from the Belgian top division.

    For Diop, the goal is clear because his contract expires in 2024. When Wiw Sport questioned him earlier this summer about rumors regarding his future, the Liverpool target responded as follows:.

    The rumors are something I’m aware of like everyone else. I occasionally call my agent for information, but he can’t always confirm. Clubs are interested, though,” said Diop.

    However, it’s crucial to keep in mind that the transfer market is still in its infancy and that some negotiations may take some time. In order to find out what transpires before the summer transfer window closes, we must continue to monitor the situation. My top priority right now is playing. Whether it be in Zulte or somewhere else, I want to be on a team where I can play. I just want to play when the day is done. “.

    The last bit will be challenging for him to achieve at Liverpool, but given the midfield rebuild around the team and Europa League football, there might just be enough minutes offered to tempt the young Senegalese midfielder, or there is the possibility of working out a loan solution to help him bridge the gap en route to Anfield.

    Diop, however, is going to be challenging to lure away after scoring a hat-trick for Zulte in the team’s first preseason game and also standing out against Club Brugge in a 1-0 victory before going on to score again in a 3-3 draw with Genk. The fact that he is involved gives Liverpool even more incentive to try to sign a promising young player from another soccer country.

     

  • NEIL JONES’ ADVICE FOR LFC’S FABINHO’S REPLACEMENT: “KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.”.

    NEIL JONES’ ADVICE FOR LFC’S FABINHO’S REPLACEMENT: “KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.”.

    Liverpool journalist Neil Jones had a lot to say about the potential changes in Liverpool's midfield in today's Media Matters podcast for Anfield

    FLORENTINO LUIS: THE MIDFIELD DESTROYER CAPTIVATING LIVERPOOL.

    Liverpool journalist Neil Jones had a lot to say about the potential changes in Liverpool’s midfield in today’s Media Matters podcast for Anfield Index. A surprising name emerged amid discussions of important players like Jordan Henderson and Fabinho: Florentino Luis of Benfica. In Portuguese football, the young defensive midfielder has been causing a stir and attracting the attention of both clubs and analysts.

    A Rising Star: Florentine Luis.

    Florentino Luis, who is 23 years old, has experienced a lot. His career graph is on the rise, with stops at Monaco and Getafe followed by a triumphant return to Benfica. Under the direction of coach Roger Schmidt, Lus has displayed outstanding “quality and commitment” this season. His outstanding performance in the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round victory over Midtjylland at home, 4–1, spoke volumes about his potential.

    Before the Argentina World Cup champion left for Chelsea, Luis’ midfield partnership with Enzo Fernández helped Benfica to success. Florentino Lus is a force to be reckoned with. He boasts a 93 percent completion rate, a 90 percent duels-won rate, and the league’s best defensive statistics. He even helped David Neres score in Benfica’s 5-0 victory over Martimo at home, demonstrating his versatility on the field.

    MORE THAN A DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER

    Luis is a competitive and diligent athlete. His aggressive tackling, keen game reading, and ability to time his challenges set him apart, making him primarily useful as a defensive counterbalance. As a link player, his intelligence, dynamism, and knack for winning the ball enable him to link the team together.

    In addition to his defensive prowess, Luis is a composed passer who has a strong understanding of how to link attack and defense. Before deciding to challenge for the ball, he carefully examines his opponents’ movements, displaying his analytical prowess on the field. His style of play has been compared to that of football greats like Claude Makélélé and N’Golo Kanté.

    Recognization and possible moves.

    Former Benfica youth team manager Joao Tralhao praised Florentino Luis’ potential in February. He thought Luis had the talent to play for some of the top teams in Europe, like Liverpool. Tralhao commended Luis’s defensive prowess and ball-interception skills, saying that he “saw the game two seconds before everyone else.”.

    Luis’s development over the past year has reportedly been monitored by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp. There are hopes that Luis will be the next high-profile departure due to Benfica’s propensity for selling players for significant transfer fees. The 23-year-old’s staggering €120,000,000 (£106,000,000) release clause is in place.

    The potential of the young midfielder is highlighted by Neil Jones’ analysis of Florentino Luis. Liverpool is becoming more and more interested in the Portuguese talent as the rumors spread. Only time will tell if Luis will continue to wear the well-known red shirt in the future. Regardless, his talent cannot be disputed, and the future looks incredibly promising for him.

     

  • Explained in light of Jordan Henderson’s call and Roméo Lavia’s interest is Liverpool’s homegrown transfer quota.

    Explained in light of Jordan Henderson’s call and Roméo Lavia’s interest is Liverpool’s homegrown transfer quota.

    Explained in light of Jordan Henderson's call and Roméo Lavia's interest is Liverpool's homegrown transfer quota.
    This summer’s transfer market presents a number of challenges for Liverpool. But how much of a factor, in terms of signings, will its homegrown quota be?

    The transfer window presents numerous considerations for Liverpool. Over the course of a frenetic two days, Jörg Schmadtke’s workload has increased significantly.

    The domestic situation will be one thing on his mind. Liverpool must adhere to what is referred to as the “quota” and is governed by Premier League regulations in this regard, just like all other clubs.

    Many will be wondering if Jürgen Klopp is in danger of sailing close to the wind in this regard with Jordan Henderson and Caoimhn Kelleher among those to be linked with a transfer in recent days, as well as the future of Nat Phillips still being up in the air. However, in order to determine whether Liverpool is in trouble or whether it will have an impact on transfer plans, it is necessary to look at how the rule operates in detail.

    The homegrown rule is not primarily focused on English players. Kelleher, an Irish national, still qualifies for the so-called quota because he joined the Liverpool academy system as a teenager. The rule is that players must have trained in England for at least three years before turning 21.

    But what exactly is the “quota” if, in fact, there isn’t one at all? It would be more accurate to refer to the Premier League squad rules as a cap on “non-homegrown” players, with no club permitted to name more than 17.

    Due to the Premier League’s 25-player squad cap, it is a widely held belief that each team must have eight homegrown players. However, naming any homegrown players is not required, even though there is obviously a strong incentive to do so given that there are effectively eight additional senior squad spots up for grabs.

    It’s important to note that players under the age of 21 do not need to be registered in the squad at all, so the word “senior” is also important. Anyone born on or after January 1, 2002 is eligible to play in the Premier League without taking up a roster spot for the upcoming season.

    For Liverpool, who has a sizable number of young players in the senior setup, that is significant. Regardless of its homegrown situation, it can include players like Tyler Morton, Kaide Gordon, Ben Doak, and Conor Bradley as well as potential squad members Harvey Elliott and Stefan Bajéti for “free.”.

    Explained in light of Jordan Henderson's call and Roméo Lavia's interest is Liverpool's homegrown transfer quota.
    Curtis Jones is one player who is no longer considered an U21, so for the upcoming season, he will move up into one of the homegrown slots. While there is now one more spot filled, there will still be many vacancies to fill. James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have already departed, and Henderson, Kelleher, and Phillips could potentially leave a sizable gap. Roméo Lavia, on the other hand, is too young to be counted but would also qualify as a homegrown player when he was old enough. Liverpool admires him.

    The fact that Liverpool already had one player missing from their roster last season is concerning. It announced its initial 23-man squad in the summer, but left one spot for a homegrown player and one for a non-homegrown player, which Cody Gakpo filled in January. However, Klopp was unable to use his entire squad due to the absence of a senior homegrown player.

    It’s not a big deal if you’re one player short, especially if there are young players available to fill in any gaps. A sizable shortfall, however, might make Liverpool’s situation more challenging.

    If the rumored departures materialized, the homegrown list would be composed entirely of Jones, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Joe Gomez, leaving Liverpool with a squad size limit of 20.

    Regarding the non-homegrown cap, there is still some leeway. Naby Keta, Roberto Firmino, and Arthur Melo have all left the roster, leaving a spot open for a new signing. Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have both joined the team. In the event that Fabinho left, another would become available.

    The overall conclusion is that the need that has arisen at home is not as urgent as it may appear. The Liverpool recruitment team will always appreciate the extra check, but the Premier League rules won’t unnecessarily limit transfer activity between now and the end of the window.

    The talented young player from Portugal has steadily progressed with the Premier League powerhouses since making his debut in February 2019. He is one of the many notable Benfica academy alumni.

    Luis, who has a contract through 2027, attracted attention last season with a series of impressive displays in both the domestic league and the Champions League.

    Saudi Arabia has made a transfer offer for Fabinho, who is on the verge of leaving Liverpool.

    The Brazilian midfielder, Fabinho, is edging closer to a move to Saudi Arabia after Liverpool received an official bid for him. The Reds are now in a race against time to find a replacement.

    The 29-year-old hasn’t traveled with the team that took off for a 10-day training camp in Germany on Saturday because the Reds are weighing an offer from Al Ittihad that is reportedly in the neighborhood of £40 million.

    The Saudi Pro League champions have made Brazilian international Fabinho a target this week, despite Liverpool’s insistence that they have not heard from any clubs interested in signing the player.

    But that has changed now that the Reds on Friday night received a sizable offer for the player, who was subsequently removed from the gathering in order to travel to Germany so that his future could be decided.

    Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, two midfielders who are about to board a plane for Liverpool’s preseason training camp in Germany, have not yet been the subject of any official interest from Saudi Arabia.

    As a target for several clubs, including Al-Ettifaq, who recently hired his former Reds teammate Steven Gerrard as manager, Reds captain Henderson has been strongly linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League.

    Al Ittihad, meanwhile, is said to be interested in signing Brazilian international Fabinho. The Saudi Pro League champions are reportedly prepared to pay about £40 million for the 29-year-old player.

    There have been rumors that agents for both players have already spoken with potential suitors, but there are conflicting reports about whether or not Henderson would consider moving to Saudi Arabia in particular.

    However, Liverpool has not received any official correspondence regarding a potential move away from Anfield from potential suitors of either Henderson or Fabinho.

  • Liverpool is currently “discussing” bringing a £31 million France star to Anfield.

    Liverpool is currently “discussing” bringing a £31 million France star to Anfield.

    Liverpool is currently "discussing" bringing a £31 million France star to Anfield.
    Liverpool and the £31 million star are in negotiations, and Liverpool may prevail over Barcelona in the battle for his services.

    According to Christian Falk of GIVEMESPORT, Liverpool are in negotiations to sign Bayern Munich defender Benjamin Pavard and may have an advantage over Barcelona in these negotiations.

    The Sport Bild journalist claims that the Reds will have competition for the player’s services this summer from one of their Premier League rivals.

    Benjamin Pavard could be a recent addition to Liverpool.

    Falk revealed in his CaughtOffside column from last month that Liverpool are interested in Pavard.

    The right-back, who can also play in the middle of the defense, was acquired by Bayern from VfB Stuttgart for about £31 million, according to The Guardian. Recently, his manager Thomas Tuchel referred to him as an “underrated player.”.

    The former Chelsea manager was quoted by L’Equipe as saying, “He is an underrated player.”. “He is highly adaptable, and he is a fierce defender.

    He excels at working as a team. He won my trust right away and showed me that I was correct. “.

    Christian Falk’s comments regarding Liverpool and Benjamin Pavard.

    According to Falk, who spoke with Pavard’s representatives, Barcelona is also interested in the 27-year-old, in addition to Liverpool and Chelsea. The Spanish powerhouses, according to the journalist, cannot afford to purchase him during this transfer window.

    Falk responded, “Of course, when asked if the Reds are interested in me. He’s a fascinating Premier League player. His management is in constant contact with Chelsea, Liverpool, and Barcelona, but Barcelona doesn’t currently have the funds. Next summer would be ideal for him to become a free agent. “.

    Also rumored to be on Manchester City’s list of potential transfer targets is the France international.

    Are there any other defenders in the market for Liverpool?

    Certainly not the only defender the Merseyside club is considering at the moment is Pavard. Levi Colwill, a young Chelsea player, is a target, according to transfer insider Dean Jones, who spoke to GIVEMESPORT earlier this month.

    Liverpool will probably have trouble luring him away from Stamford Bridge this summer. The Blues’ position is that he is not for sale, according to the MailOnline.

    Colwill’s interest from Tottenham Hotspur, a rival club in London to Chelsea, is also indicated in a report from the Evening Standard, so the Reds’ pursuit of the center-back won’t be easy.

    Liverpool may not have been successful in acquiring Colwill, but at least they were successful in acquiring Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai to bolster their midfield. However, they may not be finished with that area of the team’s roster.

    The Premier League team is considering a move for Romeo Lavia of Southampton, who appears movable following the Saints’ relegation to the Championship.

    Overall, Liverpool can be happy with the business they have done thus far, and their summer could get even better if they are able to add Lavia and then perhaps one of Colwill or Pavard to their roster.

    It will be difficult; they have to face a team that just won the treble in Manchester City.
    Will it be enough for them to win the Premier League title? But maybe Jurgen Klopp’s team will be able to at least make a title challenge.

    Jordan Henderson’s transfer from Liverpool was completed today after a £82 million agreement, according to sources.

    Jordan Henderson's transfer from Liverpool was completed today after a £82 million agreement, according to sources.
    According to sources cited by Football Insider, Liverpool will move forward with the sale of Jordan Henderson to Al Ettifaq in a deal worth a total of £82 million on Saturday.

    The 33-year-old captain of Anfield has signed a two-year deal with the Saudi club that includes an option for a third year. As a result of the agreement, his salary will increase to £700,000 per week, or more than £36 million per year.

    On Friday afternoon, Football Insider exclusively reported that there had been progress in negotiations for a £10 million deal and that Henderson had informed Liverpool of his desire to leave.

    The English international’s illustrious 12-year Anfield career will come to an end with the completion of the move, the Saudi club is confident.

    Given that their captain has two years left on his contract, Liverpool is anticipated to agree to a price of around £10 million.

    Thursday (13 July)’s Football Insider report claimed that if Henderson told Liverpool he wanted to leave, they would not obstruct his transfer.

    The Reds are reportedly on track to lose a fourth senior midfielder this summer after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita, and James Milner all left on free transfers.

    Jordan Henderson's transfer from Liverpool was completed today after a £82 million agreement, according to sources.
    The futures of Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara, both of whom have drawn significant interest from the Middle East, are also in question.

    Given Henderson’s influence at Anfield since joining in a £16 million move from boyhood club Sunderland, it’s possible that his departure will be the one that causes the most uproar.

    After club legend Steven Gerrard left in 2015 and took over as manager of Al Ettifaq, he was named Liverpool’s captain.

    Liverpool won the Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup, Champions League, Uefa Super Cup, and Fifa Club World Cup under Henderson’s captaincy.

    In other news, Liverpool is preparing a formal move for Romeo Lavia as three other deals get closer.

    There is “blood in the water,” according to a journalist, as Liverpool tries to sign a player for £40 million.

    Levi Colwill, a defender for Chelsea, is the target of Liverpool, who genuinely believe they can sign him.
    Levi Colwill, a defender for Chelsea, is the target of Liverpool, who genuinely believe they can sign him.

    Colwill has emerged as the Reds’ top target to bolster their defense this summer. However, the general consensus has been that it will be extremely challenging to pry him away from Chelsea.

    But, according to author Graeme Bailey, that might no longer be the case. Bailey asserted during an appearance on 90min’s Talking Transfer Podcast that Liverpool is becoming more optimistic about the possibility of a transfer.

    According to our understanding, Liverpool believes they can free him, the journalist says. The opportunity for Levi Colwill to play for Chelsea is guaranteed.

    Although Chelsea doesn’t want him to leave, players who don’t commit to their futures are sold. There is something in this that I believe Colwill finds appealing.

    Liverpool is pushing for this quite hard because they can see that there is blood in the water. At Anfield, there is a conviction that they can land him because he is their top target right now.
    ”.

    Colwill’s support from Liverpool is growing.

    Liverpool has increased its offer to secure the signing to over £25.7 million.
    It will cost Liverpool a fortune to sign Colwill this summer, whether or not you believe it. It won’t be cheap if Chelsea eventually caves and sells the 20-year-old.

    Brighton has reportedly given up after having a £30 million offer rejected. The Seagulls allegedly had a £40 million offer on the way, but it has not yet been delivered.

    They appear willing to pay whatever sum is required on behalf of Liverpool in order to bring Colwill to Anfield.

    They appear to think the England U21 star wants the transfer and are prepared to put Chelsea to the test. However, no firm offer appears to be forthcoming as of yet.

    Liverpool’s current attention is perhaps too much on improving their midfield. They still don’t know how that part of the roster will look come next season, but they are fairly settled in defense.

    Jurgen Klopp still has four excellent center-back options if Colwill isn’t signed, for instance. The repercussions will be worse if he fails to bring in another midfielder.

    Therefore, it might be some time before we actually see any movement with regard to Colwill going to Liverpool. But perhaps that’s okay as long as his situation at Chelsea is precarious.

    Chelsea is “one step away” from a sensational $54 million transfer after making “contact” with Neymar.

    Latest media briefing from Stamford Bridge on Chelsea transfers, including comments on stories about Neymar, Rayan Cherki, and summer plans.

    Rayan Cherki, an attacking midfielder for Lyon, has reportedly taken a significant step toward joining Chelsea.

    The Blues are reportedly very interested in the player and have looked into a transfer for the 19-year-old, according to information in football.london.

    According to Simon Phillips’ most recent report, Cherki and his camp will soon receive personal terms and contract offers. Though Lyon aren’t actively looking to sell him, it is believed that they would be open to it if the right offer came in because he still has two years left on his current deal in France.

    According to football.london; It has been reported that a price of around £42 million ($54 million) would be sufficient to lure him away this summer, but Chelsea is eager to lower that price as much as they can as they look to take a similar course of action with Moises Caicedo in the coming weeks.

    Cherki has been a player to emerge out of nowhere this summer when it comes to significant links. His quality and promise are very high, despite the fact that he wasn’t someone who many people would have suggested as a solution to many issues.

    Given how in-demand he has been throughout his youth career, to land a deal like this would be sensational. Despite still being a teenager, he has played in 102 matches for Lyon and has discovered a real position where he can excel: playing centrally behind a striker.

    It’s understandable why people might wonder why they would need someone like him after signing Christopher Nkunku, but Chelsea have built a reputation for hoarding talent, and they appear set to use fluid attackers next season.

    Nkunku and Cherki can both play from either wing or behind a striker, and given their connections to Paulo Dybala, it is this kind of player that has recently come into the spotlight. Chelsea would regret letting him slip now that they are essentially in a one-horse race to capture him.

    Contact with Neymar.

    Chelsea is "one step away" from a sensational $54 million transfer after making "contact" with Neymar.
    L’Equipe reports from France that Chelsea is interested in making an offer for Neymar. Todd Boehly admires the Brazilian superstar and has previously talked about a possible transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, but he will hold off to see if he makes a move to leave.

    According to this report, Chelsea is reportedly interested in buying him permanently as opposed to just looking for a loan, which is a change from earlier reports. Although Neymar still has two years left on his contract, he is eager for a new challenge as his professional career is just beginning.

    The 31-year-old is reportedly worth $51 million ($65 million), but PSG would probably demand more for him. There is still much to be done at the Parc des Princes, especially since Kylian Mbappe may leave the team this summer. While Luis Enrique and Luis Campos are considering replacing Neymar with players like Randal Kolo Muani and Bernardo Silva, they are still undecided.

    According to football.london: It certainly seems like Chelsea is open to acquiring as many fluid attackers as possible; perhaps Neymar is just at the back of the line, an afterthought. Neymar was a late addition, that’s correct.

    Even though Mauricio Pochettino worked with him at PSG, he doesn’t fit the high-energy pressing style that Pochettino values so much, nor does he fit the age range Chelsea is actively seeking to fill. He is an incredible player, yes, but he contributes very little else to the overall project.

    It’s difficult to see this as a positive development for Chelsea because of their egregious failures with high-profile, big-budget players. Neymar wouldn’t only be entertaining to watch, but at Stamford Bridge he really isn’t the solution to many problems right now. Stay away.

     

  • Due to Saudi interest, Fabinho has been REMOVED from Liverpool’s 32-man roster for the preseason training camp in Germany.

    Due to Saudi interest, Fabinho has been REMOVED from Liverpool’s 32-man roster for the preseason training camp in Germany.

    Due to Saudi interest, Fabinho has been REMOVED from Liverpool's 32-man roster for the preseason training camp in Germany.
    But after receiving a £700,000 per week Al-Ettifaq offer, Jordan Henderson DOES travel.

    In the midst of his five-year contract with Liverpool, Fabinho was left out of the team for their preseason training camp in Germany.

    Liverpool decided it would be wise to keep Fabinho on Merseyside while negotiations for his potential sale are ongoing because Al Hilal, the Saudi team coached by Nuno Esprito Santo, made a sizable offer for the Brazil international midfielder.

    It is a significant moment for Liverpool because Fabinho—often referred to as “The Hoover” by Jurgen Klopp—has been a crucial member of their squad ever since he joined from Monaco in 2018 and has distinguished himself as one of the best holding midfielders in the league.

    If Fabinho leaves, which seems likely, Liverpool will need to find a replacement. They are looking at a number of players, including Ryan Gravenberch of Bayern Munich, Romeo Lavia of Southampton, and Sofyan Amrabat, a Moroccan powerhouse who has also been linked with Manchester United.

    Due to Saudi interest, Fabinho has been REMOVED from Liverpool's 32-man roster for the preseason training camp in Germany.
    The Liverpool preseason camp roster has been reduced due to interest from Saudi Arabia in Fabinho.

    Due to Saudi interest, Fabinho has been REMOVED from Liverpool's 32-man roster for the preseason training camp in Germany.

    Jordan Henderson has continued to travel despite receiving a £700,000 weekly offer from Saudi Arabia.

    The inclusion of Kalvin Phillips of Manchester City on Liverpool’s list is another surprise. There hasn’t been a transfer between the clubs since Raheem Sterling transferred from Anfield to The Etihad in July 2015, so it’s unclear how likely it would be for them to conduct business.

    While Aurelian Tchouameni, who Liverpool pursued a year ago, is rumored to be unattainable this summer from Real Madrid, Moses Caicedo, who has been frequently linked with Liverpool, is more likely to move to Chelsea.

    Despite the rumors regarding his own future, Liverpool’s captain Jordan Henderson has traveled to Germany.

    Wednesday’s preseason opener for Klopp’s team is against Karlsruhe, and there’s a chance that newcomers Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai will make their club debuts in this game.

    Travelling party: Alisson, Gomez, Van Dijk, Konate, Thiago, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Mac Allister, Salah, Adrian, Henderson, Gakpo, Jota, Tsimikas, Robertson, Matip, Bajcetic, Phillips, Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Pitaluga, Bradley, Clark, Doak, Frauendorf, Jaros, Koumas, McConnell, Mrozek, Quansah, Scanlon.

    Rumor Spreading: Liverpool and Lavia Agree on Personal Terms.
    Liverpool FC reportedly reached a personal agreement with Southampton’s Romeo Lavia while they wait for their captain’s decision on whether to move to Saudi Arabia.

    Whether Liverpool would need to make room for Lavia by moving a midfielder like Thiago had been the subject of conflicting reports. However, it appears that Henderson’s potential departure will finish the job.

    With the player committed to the Reds, hopefully the club can now start the slow-burning process of haggling a transfer fee with Southampton. Logic suggests that the price would be slightly higher than £40 million, but I would certainly anticipate Liverpool to reduce it from the £50 million fee that has been floated over the past week. That is as a result of the buy-back clause going into effect at the same price in 2019. If Soton approves the player’s transfer during this window, City will also be entitled to a portion of the transfer fee. Even though the player has only one season of experience in the top flight, the talent is undeniable.
    Nevertheless, the price is still high.
    We’ll see if Jörg Schmadtke and crew can complete the task.

    More news…….

    In the midst of the Anfield transfer turbulence, Florian Plettenberg, a Liverpool player, has been seen in Germany.

    Rumor Spreading: Liverpool and Lavia Agree on Personal Terms.
    Sepp van den Berg of Liverpool reportedly has the power to arrange a transfer to a Bundesliga team soon.

    This information was provided by Sky German’s Florian Plettenberg via Twitter during a period of significant change behind the scenes with potential offers for Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.

    The tweet in question suggests that the defender, who briefly made an impression at Schalke after a six-month injury layoff, would be interested in a loan assignment.

    Even though it’s admittedly challenging to see where the young Dutchman fits in around players like Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, it’s still debatably premature to say with certainty that he doesn’t have a future in the Liverpool backline.

    It’s a potentially exciting option we could look to exploit if the player can have a fruitful stint on loan in the German top-flight. He stands at 6’4″ and has already played fairly prominently as a right-sided center-back while on loan.

    It’s a discussion that is ultimately supported by “ifs,” “buts,” and “maybes,” of course, and it’s unlikely that we will be in a position to gamble next summer given rumors about the need to restock the back four in 2024.
