Mauricio Pochettino makes decision for 11 players before Chelsea start with major formation hint
Mauricio Pochettino makes 11-man decision ahead of Chelsea start with hint at key line-upMauricio Pochettino has named his first XI since becoming Chelsea manager and it contains some surprising names.
Before he can officially work as the third permanent head coach under Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital, he has other tasks to complete.
He will take charge of the Soccer Aid World XI at Old Trafford on Sunday for the 2023 edition of the annual charity event and timed his performance perfectly. It will take him nearly three weeks before he starts working at his new club.
In an ironic duel, Pochettino takes on Chelsea women’s manager Emma Hayes, who is in charge of the England team. However, it was Pochettino’s lineup that caught the most attention, as fans were already quick to analyze his style.
With former England and Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster in net, Wrexham’s new star has a pretty solid defense ahead of him. Heather O’Reilly starts with Sam Claflin, Roberto Carlos and Mo Gilligan in defense.
Noah Beck is in midfield alongside Patrice Evra, Maise Adam and Usain Bolt, while Francesco Totti and Hernan Crespo complete the squad.
While it’s still a bit early to make too many decisions about Pochettino’s tactical choices at Chelsea, his decision to seemingly go for a 4-4-2 in his England debut is something that’s already puzzled fans.
The team he will face was chosen by Stormzy and Hayes. The starting XI for England consists of: David James; Gary Neville, Gary Cahill, Bugzy Malone, Tom Hiddleston; Joel Corry, Jill Scott, Jack Wilshere; Tom Grennan, Liam Payne, Jermain Defoe.Pochettino not only wants to put on a great show for fans watching and play for a great cause by raising money for UNICEF, but he will soon decide to field a completely different team in a different environment.
He will be tasked with selling up to 15 players this summer in a bid to massively whittle down his bloated roster ahead of pre-season and next month’s US tour.
Chelsea are also on the hunt for big-name signings in key areas of the squad, including goal, midfield and attack.
It’s a tall order for Pochettino, but he’ll be happy to take it on, having enjoyed similar success in a similar position at Tottenham almost a decade ago.
Chelsea are hoping that he can not only achieve this, but in Soccer Aid they can gain potential comedic confidence.

When Mauricio Pochettino may begin Chelsea transfer business as Inter Milan meeting planned
Chelsea face another busy summer transfer window, with Mauricio Pochettino officially taking over as manager in JulyChelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is looking to sign a new striker, central midfielder and goalkeeper in the summer transfer window, according to football.
london. However, due to the size of their inflated roster, the Blues need to focus on developing the current squad members.
There are expected to be many departures from Stamford Bridge this summer, with the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mateo Kovacic, Conor Gallagher, Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek facing an uncertain future.
N’Golo Kante is set to be the first start after agreeing a deal with Saudi club Al-Ittihad after his contract at Chelsea expired.
Mason Mount is another player who could leave the club, with Manchester United leading the race to sign the 24-year-old, football.
london reveals. Pochettino could be forced into more signings than expected, although the Blues recently pulled out of negotiations for a deal to bring Sporting CP midfielder Manuel Ugarte to the club.
Chelsea must also assess the future of Romelu Lukaku, who will return to Stamford Bridge this summer after his loan deal with Inter Milan expires.
The Italian squad played against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions league and were defeated 1:0. Meeting between the Blues and Inter is reportedly scheduled to discuss Lukaku’s future later this month.
The Belgian striker is believed to be keen to stay at San Siro next season – either on another loan or a permanent transfer.Chelsea could consider using Lukaku in negotiations over some of Inter’s star players of interest to Pochettino – Andre Onana, Nicolo Barella and Lautaro Martinez have been linked with moves to west London.
All of that will likely be discussed when the two clubs meet this month – while Trevoh Chalobah and Loftus-Cheek could also feature in a potential swap deal for some Inter players.
Pochettino has already secured the signing of Ecuadorian talent Kendry Paez – but the youngster won’t join Chelsea until 2025 when he turns 18.
football.london understands the Blues are pushing for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo but face competition from London rivals Arsenal.
Chelsea hope that once the Champions League final is over and Inter’s season is over, they can kick off their summer transfer business and try to meet Pochettino’s demands with the new arrivals.
Latest reports from Italy suggest the Blues have already agreed personal terms with Onana but Inter have set a £50million price tag for their goalkeeper.
Meanwhile, Barella has been in discussions internally with Chelsea that they should need more than two central midfield signings this summer given the amount of spending they could lose in that position.

Liverpool transfer news as $109 million ‘talks held’ and a release clause for Jürgen Klopp’s option surface
Liverpool transfer news: Jurgen Klopp’s side have reportedly been in talks with multiple clubs over a $109million duo, while the Reds could also exploit a release clause.The ink on the paper on which Alexis Mac Allister signed his contract with Liverpool had barely dried when attention turned to who the Reds could bring to Anfield next as part of Jurgen Klopp’s rebuild.
The Argentine is a great start to the summer but it needs a lot more as Liverpool look for more midfield opportunities and maybe a position or two as well.
Klopp has already admitted that every outfield position is under scrutiny.
Many players are rated and Liverpool are looking for good values in a market where some of the advertised fees are outrageous.Mac Allister has certainly proved to be a smart buy and it wouldn’t be a surprise if factors like availability and price dictated strategy for the rest of the summer.
That said, at least one more new midfielder is more or less non-negotiable.
The ideal timing would be for more players to arrive before Liverpool resume pre-season training in less than a month, so that the new additions can be fully integrated into the squad and system before the new campaign begins.
Here’s Liverpool.com’s verdict on the market gossip that emerged around the Reds today, starting with an update on two exciting young midfielders who have been heavily linked to moves in recent days.
Manu Kone (Borussia Monchengladbach) and Khephren Thuram (Nice)
Liverpool have held talks with both Manu Kone and Khéphren Thuram, according to Football Insider, to see what taxes and wages would look like if the Reds make a more concrete move.
The foundations have presumably been laid by Liverpool for the duo, both 22, with price and availability crucial to what the Reds do next in the transfer market as more midfield options are sought after the arrival of Mac Allister.
Koné would be available for around $44m (£35m/€41m), while Thuram will, according to Le Parisien, pay each suitor $65m (£51m/€60m), while Nice is under no pressure to buy him out.
Liverpool.com says: If Jörg Schmadtke makes a move for either player it should be feasible given the clubs they play for.
Liverpool should be able to coax talent from these types of teams, but other options are being explored that could bring more value.
Gonçalo Inácio (Sporting CP)
As well as needing to sign at least one or two more midfielders this summer, Liverpool could also use another centre-back, with Sporting’s Gonçalo Inácio being one of the more popular options to consider.But according to Portuguese outlet Record, Sporting are planning to hand Inácio a new contract to extend his release clause, thanks to interest from Liverpool and others.
There’s no mention of how much higher the stipulation could be, only that the current price tag is set at $48m (£39m/€45m).
Inácio may be reluctant to lift that clause. O Jogo reports that while Sporting are hoping to boost his release value, the player has “frozen” talks due to interest from Liverpool and Manchester United.
They will turn 22 in August and a number of top clubs across Europe are watching closely.

The Liverpool defender is set to wrap up a La Liga comeback as the reality of the transfer is clear
Anderson Arroyo is hoping to help Alaves return to La Liga in his sixth loan spell away from LiverpoolIt’s been two weeks since Liverpool’s season ended with an entertaining 4-4 draw at relegated Southampton.
But for a player still on the Reds’ books, the domestic campaign is only now reaching a tipping point.Anderson Arroyo, who signed for Liverpool in February 2018, is hoping to play for Alaves in the first leg of their play-off against Levante for promotion to La Liga on Sunday night.
In terms of playing time, it’s been a frustrating season for the 23-year-old Colombian defender, who has started just two league games since the start of November, but played the last 18 minutes of a 2-0 win against Eibar. in the second leg three days ago.
It’s his sixth move of a Reds roaming career, having first appeared on their radar after playing alongside compatriot Luis Diaz for Colombia at the 2017 South American U20 Championship.
Arroyo signed a new contract with Liverpool last season to extend his commitment until 2025 but is yet to secure a work permit to play for the Reds and as such has not even played for any of the academy sides despite having only 18 years old. . at the first signature.
He was shipped to Mallorca soon after signing five years ago and spent the rest of the season for their B team.He continued his development the following season at Ghent in Belgium alongside Taiwo Awoniyi – now at Nottingham Forest – but he didn’t play for the senior team, so he spent the 2019/20 season with Bulgarian Mlada Boleslav, making just two first-team appearances.

Finally, in the 2020/21 season, Arroyo was a regular feature in Salamanca’s starting XI in the third tier of Spanish football and played almost all of last season in Liga B as a centre-back at Mirandes.
Arroyo will now be hoping to help his current side – who were beaten 5-4 by Liverpool in the 2001 UEFA Cup final – to an immediate return to La Liga after last season’s relegation, with the second leg taking place next Saturday.
Still, it’s very likely the defender – a figure forgotten by Liverpool fans – will never wear a shirt for the Reds.

Harry Kane’s transfer coup at Manchester United as Newcastle prepare ‘stunning offer’ for Liverpool ‘target’
Liverpool recently completed their first signing for the summer transfer windowLiverpool’s summer transfer business got off to a perfect start this week after signing a deal for Alexis Mac Allister.
The Reds have agreed to sign the Argentina midfielder on a five-year deal from Brighton and are set to bounce back next season as he is a proven Premier League player.
Jurgen Klopp’s side will be hoping to top the table again next season, but are set to face competition from at least two sides for top spot as their rivals go from strength to strength with effective transfer decisions.
The likes of Manchester City and Arsenal will be looking to strengthen their squads in the coming weeks as they have yet to announce a signing of the magnitude of Mac Allister and are currently working with a number of players.
Below we’ve taken a look at the latest news on Liverpool’s main rivals ahead of the new season. It’s no secret that Erik ten Hag’s side lacked a clinical striker to give them an extra edge in the final third of the pitch.
The signing of Wout Weghorst on loan for the 2022/23 season was a decision that didn’t pay off and there is growing expectation that the Red Devils will break into this department to settle their scoring battle.
Harry Kane is one name suggested as a possible target, although The Times has reported that United are “losing hope” in their search for the Tottenham Hotspur shooter.Daniel Levy’s firm position in Spurs’ number 10 prompted Ten Hag’s side to “consider alternative options”.
Manchester CityThe Premier League champions won’t need too many additions to their squad to face another title challenge next year, but don’t be surprised if Pep Guardiola still bolsters his squad.
Football Insider said the Citizens would “do their utmost” to sign RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol, who has also been linked with a move to Anfield in recent months.
Negotiations will ‘give a boost’ now that the Champions League final has been played, with a deal to bring the Croatian centre-back back to England potentially in excess of £80m.
chelseaChelsea are reportedly looking for a new goalkeeper this summer and are reportedly interested in Inter Milan’s Andre Onana.
The Cameroon keeper featured in last night’s Champions League final against City but failed to save Rodri’s decisive second-half goal.
Italian outlet TuttoMercato insists Onana ‘has been in Chelsea’s sights for weeks’ and is keen to secure a Premier League move.The article adds that the Londoners have rejected a €40m offer from Inter Milan and that Romelu Lukaku could be included in a deal for the goalkeeper.
Newcastle
Set for an injection of cash after securing Champions League football, it remains to be seen how big Eddie Howe’s side will become in the transfer market.The Toon Army is said to be considering deals for high-profile names, but whether or not those will materialize is another matter.
A high-profile target for the Reds, Hungarian midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai is a player who could arrive at St James’ Park after an impressive season for RB Leipzig.
L’Equipe have hinted via Sport Witness that Newcastle are “preparing a staggering offer” for the 22-year-old, who scored 10 goals and provided 13 assists in all competitions last season.
Arsenal
Ilkay Gundogan would be a smart transfer for Arsenal if Mikel Arteta can get a deal to captain City.The German midfielder’s future remains uncertain despite winning the treble and former Gunners centre-back Per Mertesacker, who is now Arsenal’s youth manager, believes the 32-year-old can still choose the Emirates as his new home.
Speaking to German broadcaster ZDF after the Champions League final, Mertesacker believes Gundogan could see his time at City as ‘mission accomplished’. Mertesacker added: “I think the clubs are aligning themselves.
As [Mikel] Arteta knows him and we probably haven’t cut off contact, we are in a good position.” I think he will let it sink in for a while and then make a choice between one of the four clubs.”
Spurs, now managed by Ange Postecoglou, are said to be weighing a £50m deal for Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho.
Things didn’t go as many expected for Sancho following his decision to leave Borussia Dortmund to secure a return to England. The Daily Star said Ten Hag knows he needs to “raise money” to finance his summer expenses and is seeking nearly £60m for the England international. -
Jörg Schmadtke working on two shortlists for Liverpool’s dual transfer plan
Where are Liverpool’s transfers for potential midfield signings and centre-backs as Jorg Schmadtke takes chargeSuch is the insatiable appetite for transfers, as soon as Alexis Mac Allister was announced as a Liverpool player the clamor for the next new face began.
And there’s no doubt that World Cup winner Argentina won’t be the latest signing, as Jurgen Klopp begins to step up his efforts to strengthen his squad after a hugely disappointing season.
Challenging time for the new sports director Jorg Schmadtke. While predecessor Julian Ward laid the groundwork for the arrival of Mac Allister, the move is now complete and Schmadtke now handles all inbound and outbound business.
Further strengthening of the midfield remains a priority, although Liverpool’s desire to freshen up their engine room has led to an open season in terms of connections between players, whether they are agents looking to raise their client’s profile or they are looking for a better contract with their current club .
However, not all of them are wrong. French duo Khephren Thuram of Nice and Manu Kone of Borussia Moenchengladbach – where Schmadtke’s son Nils was appointed sporting director last week – remain on the shortlist as Liverpool now look to set targets that are both desirable and achievable.Ryan Gravenberch is another, although Bayern Munich did not appear willing to sell after only signing the Dutchman in the summer. All three are 22 years of age or younger.
Chelsea’s previous oversight of England international Conor Gallagher has so far gone no further.
With the imminent departures of James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, while aware of the need for homegrown talent, they won’t have too much influence over who Liverpool bring with Mason Mount now closing in on a move to Manchester United .
Interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Matheus Nunes has also waned in recent weeks.
And while Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes is a big fan, the recruitment team understands that a transfer from the Brazilian is almost certainly a failure.
Other positions in the team seem more closed. There is no indication from Liverpool that the desire to sign a right-back this summer is high, suggesting there is no real interest in Bayern Munich’s Benjamin Pavard.
Only if Kostas Tsimikas leaves will a new left-back be considered, although Liverpool have been impressed with Luke Chambers’ loan spell at Kilmarnock, with the 18-year-old playing in five different positions.
The Reds also see no reason to further strengthen their offensive line, given that Cody Gakpo, who arrived in January, would have already replaced the departing Roberto Firmino.
The Reds also don’t want to block the progress of top-flight teenage right winger Ben Doak, who could be destined for minutes in domestic cups and the Europa League group stage next season.With Adrian set to sign a contract extension, a new goalkeeper is also not on the agenda unless Caoimhin Kelleher pushes for a move elsewhere. He too can benefit from injury time in the first team in Europe.
But one area Liverpool are definitely looking to target is the centre-back, as Jurgen Klopp admitted last month.
It would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that the heart of the defense is a time bomb.But with Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip both in their thirties, the latter entering the final 12 months of his contract and Joe Gomez struggling for consistency in the position, it would be a proactive move by Liverpool, especially with one or both of Wet Phillips.
and Rhys Williams are likely to have suitors this summer. If not this summer, a new central defender will arrive in about 12 months.
A left sided centre-back is ideal and one with the potential to progress in the position.
England under-21 international Levi Colwill, who has returned to Chelsea after an impressive loan season at Brighton, would be a perfect fit and is admired by Liverpool’s recruitment squad.
However, the Reds have shown no official interest in Micky van de Ven, who plays for Schmadtke’s former club Wolfsburg at the moment. As with the midfielders, Liverpool are now looking to shorten their list of possible targets.
Schmadtke could still put his feet under the table at Liverpool. But there are clearly two clear objectives that he needs to achieve before the new season begins.

Liverpool approached to sign for 2022 only to leave after Klopp finds replacement
Liverpool are considering dropping Calvin Ramsay this summer after interest in him emerged from the league, reportedly.Ramsay joined Liverpool last year in a £4.2m transfer from Aberdeen. However, due to some injury concerns, he is yet to make his Premier League debut. The full-back will now examine what he needs to do to get his development back on track.
Liverpool have Ramsay under contract until 2027. But now there are indications he could spend next season on loan.
In fact, the Liverpool Echo have revealed that Preston North End are looking to sign Ramsay on a season-long loan in the Championship.
Preston boss Ryan Lowe was born in Liverpool and now hopes he can bring the Reds on board for Ramsay next season. In return, he could follow in the footsteps of Sepp van den Berg, on loan from Liverpool to Preston between February 2021 and June 2022.
According to the report, Liverpool are yet to decide whether Ramsay will be loaned out or not. The club know they must ensure Ramsay has more playing time next season. He may still be within his under-21 lineup or in a new temporary home.
If the latter option is preferred, Preston – who finished 12th in the league this season – will be hoping to take advantage of it.
Liverpool find new cover for Alexander-Arnold
And in turn, Liverpool already have an idea of how to fill the gap at right-back. It is clear that Trent Alexander-Arnold remains their main option there, even in the new hybrid midfield role he is adapting to. But they will still need further coverage, especially after allowing James Milner to leave for free.According to the Echo, Liverpool’s solution could once again come from their academy. Conor Bradley returns to Liverpool in pre-season following a productive loan spell at Bolton Wanderers.
Bradley himself is only 19, just like Ramsay. However, he might have the chance to show Jurgen Klopp what he can contribute. Bolton gave Bradley 53 appearances in the 2022-23 season including winning the EFL Trophy. Before that, he earned his first five senior caps for Liverpool.
The amount of playing time he gets in League One shows the benefits a spell in the EFL can have for player development. Therefore, Ramsay may be considering moving to the second tier with Preston.
Only time will tell if that will be his only option this summer and whether or not Liverpool will give the green light to the temporary transfer.
Considering that Arthur Melo has disappeared without a trace and Fabio Carvalho also wants to leave, the fact that a third player added by Liverpool last summer may also leave – albeit temporarily – does not reflect any image of the transfer job of Last year. The summer at Anfield reflected the best lights.
But Ramsay might be able to salvage something by learning his trade better in the English Second Division game. Now it’s up to Liverpool to decide what to do with him.

The ‘great’ midfielder discusses future amid claims Liverpool have made an offer for him
Liverpool may be among the clubs keen to sign Gabri Veiga this summer, but the impressive youngster is giving little.The Reds are believed to be considering signing Veiga. Recent reports even suggest the Reds have returned with an improved offer for Veiga as they look to beat other clubs with his signature.
However, the youngster is keeping a low profile about his future.
Gabri Veiga plays down exit talks after Liverpool links
Speaking to Spanish media, Veiga admitted in comments sent by 90Min that he was delighted with how last season went. However, his focus is on the national team at the moment and nothing else, he says.
“It was a spectacular season, what I did is a dream and at the club of my life and I’m happy about it.
” For the moment, I don’t think about the future, the present is the national team. The only thing I can say is that I can pass the European Championship and then win it” Veiga said.
Veiga has been dubbed an ‘incredible’ young talent for his performances at Celta Vigo and is considered one of Europe’s greatest talents.
It’s certainly obvious that Klopp wants him at Anfield. RTK view: bubbling in the background
With this you get the feeling that an announcement comes out of nowhere from whoever wins the race for Gabri Veiga.
There is clearly a lot of interest in him and it’s no wonder Liverpool want him. He looked like a classy player in La Liga and his age and ability, plus price, make him one to watch.
Of course we’ll have to sit back and see. Liverpool are in talks with as many players as any report can believe. In Veiga, the most important thing will be to see how it goes.

NEXT WEEK, LIVERPOOL’S £52 MILLION STAR COULD SIGN UP FOR NEW CLUB WITH PLANNED MEDICAL
Liverpool midfielder ‘Naby Keita’,who is leaving the club, is reportedly set to have a medical at Werder Bremen next week as he nears a return to the Bundesliga after five injury-plagued seasons in the Premier League.Werder Bremen is a significant step down from some of the other teams Naby Keita has been associated with recently, with all due respect.
However, it’s possible that clubs like Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Inter Milan, who reportedly all expressed interest in the Guinean international at some point or another, came to the conclusion that the risk was not worth taking. And really, who can blame them?
After all, Keita only started three Premier League games last season and has missed over 80 games due to various injuries since moving to Liverpool from RB Leipzig in a £52 million deal in 2018.
Perhaps this is a case of beggars not being given much of a “choice” since Sky Germany and BILD are reporting that Keita is now imminently moving to Werder Bremen. .
Naby Keita is switching to the Bundesliga from Liverpool.
Last season, Werder finished 13th in the Bundesliga standings, avoiding relegation in their first season back in the top division. Ole Werner’s team may make up for their lack of glitz by providing Keita with the kind of consistent first-team football that would likely be out of his reach at a more illustrious club.Negotiations to bring the 28-year-old midfielder to Bremen are already in progress. Before signing a contract at the Weser Stadion through the summer of 2026, Keita may even have a medical as soon as next week.
While Keita’s contract expires at the end of the month, he is one of many senior players who will be leaving the team. In addition to Roberto Firmino and James Milner leaving, Arthur Melo is getting ready to return to Juventus.
The fact that we are actually saying goodbye to four Liverpool legends, in my opinion, makes it extremely emotional, Klopp said in May.
“People probably also think of Naby’s recent injuries when they think of him. But when you reflect on significant contests, you’ll see how frequently he participated in and gave outstanding performances in these contests for us. ”.

Transfer rumors from Liverpool as Reds’submit’ $64 million proposal against new challenger in Nicol Barella’s race
Liverpool transfer news: The Reds have made a sizable offer for a player they’ve wanted for a while, and the frequently linked Nicolo Barella is now desired by other teams as well.The first signing Liverpool made this summer has already been finalized, but the next few months are expected to be extremely busy.
Just over a week after the Reds’ campaign came to an end, they welcomed their first new player into the fold when the club officially announced Alexis Mac Allister’s signing.
The Argentine’s fee has not been disclosed by either party, but Fabrizio Romano of some reports claims it could be as little as $44 million (£35 million/€41 million), which would make it the summer’s best deal.
However, with new sporting director Jörg Schmadtke having a lot of work to do after what has been a disappointing season on all fronts, Liverpool will need more players to join Mac Allister in making the move to Anfield.
With so many midfielders currently being linked to Liverpool, he has no shortage of names to choose from. Fans will recognize one of those right away, and another will be present for Saturday’s Champions League final.
The Real Madrid player Aurélien Tchouaméni.
According to reports in Spain, Liverpool has had a $64 million (£52 million/€60 million) offer for Aurélien Tchouaméni rejected.The French international was obviously passed over by the Reds last summer because Tchouaméni opted to transfer from Monaco to Real Madrid. His first season, however, hasn’t quite gone as planned; he’s been in and out of Carlo Ancelotti’s team, which has sparked rumors that he might be moving on once more.
In an effort to complement Alexis Mac Allister’s arrival, Liverpool reportedly submitted its bid, according to Defensa Central. However, Real Madrid is adamant that Tchouaméni is not for sale and views him as “untouchable.”.
Even though Tchouaméni’s first season at the Bernabéu did not go exactly as he had hoped, Liverpool . com notes that another attempt to sign him always seemed unlikely. If the Reds actually made a bid, it was probably done to see if Real Madrid was interested in selling, so it’s more likely that they were just testing the waters.
Although the Spanish giant isn’t known for having patience, Tchouaméni has plenty of time on his side and, with Toni Kroos and Luka Modri both nearing the end of their respective careers, even if he’s having trouble making an impact right now, the 23-year-old will undoubtedly play a role in the future.
Nicolo Barella (Inter Milan).
According to reports, Newcastle and Liverpool will compete to sign Nicol Barella this summer.Given that Liverpool is looking for new midfielders and that Barella recently made an impression with Inter Milan and the Italian national team, he is expected to be a hot commodity. He might be the perfect addition to Jürgen Klopp’s squad.
However, the 26-year-old’s signing by the Reds would face competition. Newcastle is interested in signing Barella as well, according to Sportmediaset via FCInternews.com, and Inter may be considering selling him to help with their financial issues.
Barella would undoubtedly be a welcome addition for Liverpool, but if Inter finds itself in a situation where it must sell, that will only increase competition, and if there is one team you don’t want to be in a bidding war with, it’s Newcastle.
The Magpies now have access to practically unlimited funds, not to mention Champions League football to help them entice some bigger signings. Liverpool may have to rely on Klopp and the club’s allure to entice Barella to Merseyside.

The future of Kylian Mbappe’s transfer is revealed as the ‘target’ midfielder for Liverpool breaks his silence.
The most recent James Ward-Prowse and Gabri Veiga links, as well as information on Kylian Mbappe’s potential next destination, are all part of the Liverpool transfer news and rumors.The summer transfer market must be successful for Liverpool if Jurgen Klopp’s team is to improve on the disappointing 2022–23 campaign.
After striking a deal to sign the Argentina international from Brighton earlier this week, Alexis Mac Allister has given supporters hope that the Reds’ midfield deficiencies will soon be fixed.
With his Premier League and international experience, Mac Allister immediately improves Liverpool’s midfield and is likely to be inserted into the starting lineup for the upcoming season.
We’ve looked at the most recent Reds-related rumors to see just who else might be moving to Anfield.
Ward-Prowse interest
James Ward-Prowse of Southampton is reportedly wanted by Liverpool, but the Reds are only willing to pay £50 million, which is half of what Southampton are asking for him.One of Southampton’s standout players, Ward-Prowse, who was recently relegated with the south coast club, is anticipated to leave this summer as the team gears up for life in the second tier.
The 28-year-old’s contract with the Reds runs through 2026, according to a Daily Mail report, and the club is “willing to play the waiting game” over him.
According to the report, Liverpool would “be tempted” to pay £25 million to acquire Ward-Prowse, but West Ham and Newcastle are expected to offer stiff competition. No relegation clause exists in Ward-Prowse’s contract.
On transfer links, Veiga breaks the silence.
After a standout season in La Liga, Celta Vigo star Gabri Veiga has been linked with a wide range of European teams. Perhaps his most impressive achievement to date was scoring twice against Barcelona to keep Celta in the top division. This raised the question in the minds of some fans as to whether this would be his last performance for the team.In recent weeks, Liverpool has emerged as a potential landing spot for the 21-year-old, and a recent report suggests that Klopp’s team are “firm favorites” to beat Newcastle United to Veiga.
When asked about his future, the young player, who is currently preparing to represent Spain in the U-21 Euros, told SPORT: “It was a spectacular season, what I did is a dream, and in the club of my life, and I’m happy about it. I’m not thinking about the future right now because I’m focused on the national team. The only thing I can promise is that I’ll make it through the European Championship and win it. “.
Perez is behind Mbappe’s move.
Although he acknowledged he does not anticipate a deal to be completed this year, Florentino Perez, president of Real Madrid, is confident in his ability to sign Kylian Mbappe.Last year, Mbappe appeared ready to join Los Blancos but instead chose to extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. It appears, however, that the Spanish powerhouses are still interested in signing the French forward.
Karim Benzema’s recent departure from Real has left a huge gap in the attack, and Mbappe is still the front-runner to fill the position of club talisman.
When approached by a fan in the street, Perez made it clear that he was still interested in the 24-year-old World Cup champion. The 76-year-old said, “Yes, but not this year,” in response to the question of whether Real would sign Mbappe. ”.
Despite having previously expressed interest in the prolific striker, Liverpool is not likely to be in the running for his services right now. Mbappe previously acknowledged having talks with the Reds before signing a new deal in Paris for the 2022–23 season, telling the Telegraph in May of last year: “We talked a little bit, but not too much. We exchanged a few words. “.
The five-time Ligue 1 champion made it clear that discussions took place between the Reds and Mbappe before his 2017 switch from Monaco to PSG. He stated, “I spoke to Liverpool because it’s my mother’s favorite club, my mother loves Liverpool. It’s a good club and we first met them five years ago, so you’ll have to ask her why. They were there when I was in Monaco.
The club is sizable.

After reaching an agreement with Manchester United, Liverpool moved on to a less expensive Mason Mount alternative.
In this summer’s transfer window, Jurgen Klopp hopes to rebuild Liverpool’s midfield, but he has already been forced to part ways with Mason Mount, one of his top targets.After it appeared that Manchester United had beaten Liverpool to the signing of Mason Mount, Liverpool is preparing to make a move for James Ward-Prowse.
As he entered the final year of his Chelsea contract, Mount has reached an agreement on personal terms with the Red Devils. Given that Mount is determined to leave, it should be easy for United and the Blues to come to an agreement.
Jurgen Klopp is left looking for alternatives as he tries to rebuild his midfield unit. As a result of the departures of James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita from Anfield, Klopp must now look for a number of new additions to his team in order to revamp that division.
Mount’s time at Chelsea appeared to be coming to an end, and a move to Anfield had been mentioned. However, Ward-Prowse is now at the top of Klopp’s shopping list, forcing him to part ways with the England international.
The midfielder will almost certainly leave Southampton this summer as a result of the club’s relegation from the Premier League, according to the Daily Mail. Saints set a £50 million price tag on their captain, but Liverpool is willing to wait and see.
As the transfer window continues, there is a perception that the south coast side will reduce their asking price in order to raise the money necessary to rebuild their own team in preparation for a promotion challenge. For Ward-Prowse, the Reds are prepared to shell out about £25 million.And they are reportedly instructed to wait until his price tag is lower and closer to that sum. In an effort to reclaim his position on the England national team, Ward-Prowse is also getting ready for a new challenge.
Ward-Prowse’s contract, which is currently set to last another three years, does not contain a relegation clause. Southampton is optimistic they can command a high price for their captain after rejecting an offer of £25 million from Aston Villa last summer.
The fact that Ward-Prowse is prepared to leave St Mary’s Stadium has been suggested by him. The midfielder appeared to give the Saints supporters a farewell speech following the relegation of his team.
Of course, it’s nice, and I’ve always valued this club. I’ve been here for 20 years, and it’s been a wonderful journey that I’ve loved every second of. You never know what will occur in the future, he said.
“I have done everything I can for this club, not just this year but ever since I walked through the door as an eight-year-old, and I come away from this season with my head held high. It hurts me to have contributed to the club losing its Premier League status, but I am confident they will return in the future. “.
With the addition of Alexis Mac Allister, Liverpool has already improved their midfield options. In Klopp’s midfield three, the World Cup winner is anticipated to play in a more attacking role after moving from Brighton to Anfield for £45 million.
More hires are required because it has become clear that Liverpool’s lack of qualification for the Champions League is a weakness. But before securing their next target, the Reds might have to wait until later in the window.
