Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Romeo Lavia, Andre, and Aurelien Tchouameni.

The most recent Andre, Romeo Lavia, Aurelien Tchouameni, and other transfer rumors, rumors, gossip, and speculation are all related to Liverpool.

In light of their inability to close a deal for Southampton’s Romeo Lavia, Liverpool is considering a move for Brazilian midfielder Andre.

Aurelien Tchouameni, a former midfield target, has allegedly been made available for transfer by Real Madrid.

Rivals are connected in a novel Romeo-Lavia twist.
The Independent reports that Manchester United is reportedly considering a move for Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia, and that Liverpool’s failure to acquire him at the second attempt may come back to haunt them.

Tuesday, when the Reds made a second offer of £41 million, it was rejected. As their rivals consider the midfield market, they may try to take advantage.

However, the fact that United must sell in order to fund a new transfer puts a significant advantage in Liverpool’s favor.

U-turn by Sofyan Amrabat.

Sofyan Amrabat might yet make a significant turn for the better and remain at Fiorentina.

the midfielder who stood out at last year’s World Cup and generated speculation about a move to the Premier League.

Sometimes Liverpool was mentioned, but Corriere Della Sera shut that down last week when they said Amrabat preferred Manchester United.

According to the Mail Online, the Moroccan has since expressed he is uncertain about making a move this summer, admitting “he doesn’t know if he is leaving.”.

Talking about Sadio Mane is Jurgen Klopp.
It’s possible that Sadio Mane’s first and only season at Bayern Munich didn’t go as many people had hoped.

It seemed like the ideal time for the Senegalese forward to reunite with Liverpool when the English club announced a friendly match with the German champions just a few months ago, but that won’t be possible now that he has officially signed with Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr.

Jurgen Klopp expressed this in his press conference yesterday, according to iMiaSanMia, saying: “I don’t know what went wrong, to be honest. Without a doubt, a world-class player, I believe Sadio left us in great shape and on a high note. I believe that pretty much everything needs to line up for you to reach your full potential. “.

Aurelien Tchouameni asking price
Should they still be interested in Aurelien Tchouameni of Real Madrid, the Reds have received a boost.

Los Blancos, according to El Nacional, must part ways with some of their players in order to raise the money to sign Kylian Mbappe.

They claim that Tchouameni is “a completely dispensable piece” and that they would like to recoup at least the £80 million they paid AS Monaco for him last summer, even if he “continues to enter Carlo Ancelotti’s plans.”.

As Liverpool’s search for a midfielder takes a new turn, Romeo Lavia and Andre are the most recent.

As part of their ongoing search for additional engine room reinforcements, Liverpool had a second offer for Romeo Lavia rejected and has now started talks with Fluminese about defensive midfielder Andre.

Romeo Lavia, a midfielder for the national team of Belgium, was offered to Southampton in a revised deal worth about £41 million.

But it is understood that it was declined. It’s unclear if the South Coast club will continue to be unreasonable, forcing Liverpool to pay the full £50 million asking price to sign the 19-year-old.

As a result of the unexpected departures of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson to Saudi Arabia, Lavia has emerged as Liverpool’s next top target this summer as they look to fill the void left by those players in defensive midfield.

The Reds have been considering their options since Southampton rejected their initial offer of £34 million plus £4 million in add-ons last week.

Even though it’s thought the player has expressed a desire to join Jurgen Klopp’s team, the Saints are unwilling to give up what they consider to be an accurate valuation of a player they initially paid £12 million for from Manchester City last season.

Jörg Schmadtke can help, as Liverpool has already “listed” a clever Aurélien Tchouaméni transfer solution.

Liverpool never fully overcame its failure to acquire Aurélien Tchouaméni in the previous summer.

To deliver the transfer solution at last, Jörg Schmadtke can assist.

Although it’s difficult to imagine, Liverpool could still use up to three new midfielders this summer. Before the news about Fabinho and Jordan Henderson broke, most people agreed that one more would be nice; the loss of two more regular starters would ideally be balanced by the addition of two more players.

Saudi Arabia, whose unexpected arrival on the scene accelerated Jürgen Klopp’s rebuilding project and gave temporary sporting director Jörg Schmadtke a far busier summer than he might have anticipated, obviously provides a big portion of the answer to how Liverpool got into the position of needing to do so much all at once. Going back to last summer’s failed transfer attempt for Aurélien Tchouaméni is necessary for a more thorough explanation, though.

Liverpool made Tchouaméni its “all-or-nothing” target because they believed he was the pivotal player the midfield required. After falling short to Real Madrid, it tried to get by with what it had for another season in hopes of luring Jude Bellingham the following summer.

Last season, the midfield completely disintegrated as a result.

Liverpool’s central unit was largely unable to execute Klopp’s favored style of play as a result of the team’s concerning age and injury profiles. It was always going to be a busy transfer window as Schmadtke entered to try and right some old wrongs, even though Trent Alexander-Arnold’s inversion belatedly stabilized things.

Bellingham is unfortunately off the table, and Real Madrid is once again painted as the bad guy. But he and Tchouaméni share something, and Liverpool has already considered it, that ought to point Schmadtke in the direction of the practical solution.

Any Klopp midfielder must be capable of doing a little bit of everything. Bellingham is the best illustration of that; Invisible Goals’ excellent data-viz, which used data from FBref, rated Bellingham as a “complete midfielder.”. Tchouaméni, however, excels in winning balls, keeping them, and moving forward, checking off three of the four boxes.

As “complete 6/8 hybrids,” players who score highly in those categories are referred to. That’s precisely what Klopp needs because, along with a specialist like Roméo Lavia, it would give options in both roles and leave a reasonably well-rounded roster, given that it is highly unlikely that Liverpool will sign three more midfielders this summer.

Four other U23 midfielders from Europe’s top five leagues join Tchouaméni in that group. One of them is Moisés Caicedo, who has also been connected to Liverpool but whose cost has unquestionably increased too much. Mohamed Camara is an additional option, who we have previously recommended as a clever transfer choice. Manu Koné is actually the most notable name.

Koné was a frequently mentioned player, particularly at the beginning of the transfer window. He reportedly appeared on a list of prospective midfield targets on June 11 according to Sky Sports. Before Fabinho and Henderson departed, but before deals for Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szobozslai were finalized, those links ceased to exist. In any case, the Frenchman is a different type of player than the two Liverpool has already signed.

Koné could play either the advanced number eight or the six position with ease, whereas Szoboszlai is best suited for the advanced number eight position in the Liverpool system. Among midfielders in Europe’s top five leagues over the past year, he ranks in the 75th percentile for tackles, the 80th percentile for blocks, the 96th percentile for successful take-ons, and the 78th percentile for progressive carries.

End product is the one thing he really lacks. But Liverpool doesn’t actually require that. It’s always a plus, which is why Bellingham was the ultimate fantasy, but it’s obvious that Klopp has plenty of other options to succeed in that area of the game. Most importantly, a Tchouaméni figure is still required, and his fellow countryman Koné may hold the key to this.

This fits into Schmadtke’s expertise, according to him. His son Nils, a renowned expert on the Bundesliga, just so happens to be the sporting director at Borussia Mönchengladbach. Although he couldn’t hope to get Liverpool a discount on this basis, it would undoubtedly make the negotiations go more smoothly.

It is not ideal that Koné is currently sidelined due to a knee injury. Around the beginning of the season, he should be available again. But if Liverpool thinks he’s the right candidate, then this shouldn’t be enough to stop a transfer. That doesn’t necessarily indicate a particularly alarming medical history. He is one of the few young midfielders who fits the Tchouaméni mold and could provide Klopp with two solutions in one, so Schmadtke should definitely look into it.

Report: Liverpool now prepared to make the £90m Real Madrid player a serious transfer target

Liverpool are reportedly ready to make Aurelien Tchouameni a serious transfer target this summer, but only if Real Madrid put the midfielder up for sale.

Jurgen Klopp remains interested in the France international, according to the Telegraph. However, a transfer of Tchouameni is only possible if Los Blancos place the 23-year-old on the transfer list.

Liverpool came close to signing Tchouameni last summer before Madrid hijacked the deal and managed to bring the AS Monaco star to Spain while the Reds were left empty-handed.

However, Liverpool have never given up on their interest in Tchouameni and the Reds could now opt for the midfielder if Madrid decide to sell the Frenchman this summer, which is highly likely. The Mirror recently reported that Real Madrid were reported to sell the youngster for £90m. However, with Liverpool now in the money after the sale of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, a compromise could be made.

Indeed, Madrid’s hunt for Kylian Mbappe is no secret this summer. And Tchouameni’s transfer to Liverpool, having already signed Jude Bellingham, could help Carlo Ancelotti’s side cross the line for the PSG superstar.

If Real sell Tchouameni to Liverpool it would be a win-win situation

Liverpool are looking for a midfielder and Real are looking at ways to raise money for Mbappé. The solution? Selling Tchouameni to the Reds, making the transfer a win-win situation for all parties involved.

As we know, Tchouameni was close to signing for the Reds last year before Real Madrid flexed their muscles to bring French talent to Spain. And a year after the transfer, the midfielder could still end up at Anfield.

Of course, it could all hinge on Madrid thinking that the sale of Tchouameni will finally help them sign Mbappé. But with the PSG star keen on a move, Liverpool could hit the jackpot and bring the midfielder to Merseyside this summer.

26-YEAR-OLD LIVERPOOL PLAYER AGREED ON TERMS TO JOIN LEEDS UNITED

Leeds United are said to have agreed personal terms with Nat Phillips as they target the Liverpool defender.

Nat Phillips is a prime target for Leeds United this summer and a report suggests personal terms have been agreed.

This reports Last Word on Sports, which says Leeds have reached a preliminary agreement with Phillips.

If true, the next job is to finalize a fee with Liverpool and try to bring Phillips to Elland Road.

Leeds are inching closer to signing Ethan Ampadu, who can operate as both a central defender and defensive midfielder. However, we expect him to play the latter role and with Robin Koch’s move to Eintracht Frankfurt, Leeds need another centre-back.

Phillips appears to be the primary target and if his reps agree on personal terms, that would be a big step in the right direction.

Athletic reported on Leeds’ interest in Phillips in June and hinted that Liverpool were aiming for around £10million.

It would be a big outlay for Leeds, especially with Ampadu costing at least £7million, but new boss Daniel Farke needs to be backed up with signings.

Daniel Farke would surely support Nat Phillips move

The Athletic report also added that Farke was looking to sign Phillips during his tenure as Norwich City manager. That move never happened, but Farke would finally get the chance to work with Phillips in Leeds.

The whites want to return to the Premier League and a no-nonsense defender like Phillips could be ideal.

The 26-year-old was promoted from Championship side Bournemouth in 2022 and Leeds are hoping to see him do the same at Elland Road.

Phillips may not be flashy, but he’s performed admirably in recent years when he’s been called up to Liverpool.

A 6-foot 3-inch centre-back with great airpower and a desire to block and clear anything in his path, Phillips could help Leeds build a winning defensive line under Farke.

Aurélien Tchouameni likes a brutal post aimed at Liverpool in the face of transfer rumors

Aurelien Tchouameni, a star for Real Madrid, liked a tweet directed at Liverpool amid ongoing transfer rumors.

Tchouameni moved to Madrid in June 2022 for a hefty reported €80 million sum.

It was said that Liverpool were interested in the Frenchman before he moved to Spain, but he ultimately chose Los Blancos.

Since the futures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho were up in the air recently, Liverpool has been linked with Tchouameni once more.

Al Ettifaq, a Saudi Professional League team coached by former Liverpool player Steven Gerrard, is interested in signing Henderson.

While Al Ittihad, a Saudi Arabian team, has also been linked to Brazilian Fabinho.

Tchouameni has liked a post on Twitter, seemingly dispelling the rumors that he is once again linked to Liverpool.

After losing James Milner, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, and Naby Keita, it is well known that Liverpool is currently rebuilding its midfield.

Jurgen Klopp has so far signed Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and Hove Albion and Hungary captain Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig.

In order to prepare for the 23/24 season, Liverpool may be forced to make additional investments in their midfield unit. The futures of Henderson and Fabinho are still up in the air.

A £40 million bid for Fabinho was reportedly made by Al Ittihad to Liverpool on Saturday. As a result, Fabinho did not travel to Germany with the team for their training camp there.

According to Sky Sports, Fabinho has been given permission to get a medical exam and complete the transfer procedures.

The 29-year-old joined Liverpool in 2018 following a reported £43.7 million transfer from Monaco.

After that, he made 219 appearances for the Liverpool club, winning the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, and UEFA Super Cup along the way.

While Manchester United made a transfer request, Sadio Mané and Philippe Coutinho might reunite.

An overview of the Liverpool Euro rivals, including the possibility of a reunion between Sadio Mané and Philippe Coutinho. Atlanta has demanded that Manchester United transfer.

It would be a significant change for Liverpool if Jordan Henderson and Fabinho both left during the same summer, especially when added to the departures of seasoned stars like James Milner.

Jörg Schmadtke, the new sporting director at Anfield, appeared to be very busy in the background organizing a proper rebuild and team reset, giving the impression that Jürgen Klopp was about to experience a significant change.

In truth, however, even though the evolution should have possibly happened more quickly, especially in midfield, it did start a while back. Liverpool lost Roberto Firmino after Sadio Mané was sold to Bayern Munich last summer.

A similar procedure is now being carried out in midfield. Due to the youth of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alisson Becker (and Ibrahima Konaté, relative to his position), Liverpool’s defensive rebuild can be more gradual, but that too needs to start as soon as possible.

It was difficult for Liverpool to part with Mané and Firmino, but doing so allowed them to be first in line to snag attacking talent, which Manchester United is now doing. And as for Mané, he has had trouble since leaving Anfield, much like Philippe Coutinho.

Transfer chasing by Sadio Mané and Philippe Coutinho.

Mané, a former forward for Liverpool, has been informed by Bayern Munich that the German champion will not stand in the way of the 31-year-old if he wants to leave. While the player is content to stay, that is typically code for wanting a sale.

Now, 90Min reports that Steven Gerrard wants to sign both Mané and Coutinho for the Saudi Pro League in addition to pursuing Jordan Henderson for Al Ettifaq.

Mané reportedly turned down interest from Saudi Arabia earlier in the summer, but Bayern Munich is hoping to persuade him to switch teams because there aren’t many other clubs in Europe willing to compete for his services.

Mané can undoubtedly perform better than the Saudi league, but the majority of the players who have moved there this summer can as well, according to Liverpool .
com.
Henderson could also perform much better, but money talks.

Offer from Manchester United was declined.

Rasmus Hjlund, a forward for Atalanta, has reportedly become unavailable as Erik ten Hag searches for a new number nine for Manchester United, according to The Athletic.

Manchester United offered Donny van de Beek and unwanted Fred as part of a proposed deal for the Danish forward, but the Serie A club rejected that “out of hand.”.

The 20-year-old, who joined Atalanta from Sturm Graz in the summer of 2022 and scored 10 goals last season, is seeking a cash-only contract.

Although the Reds have a ton of offensive talent, Manchester United really needs a world-class number nine to advance. It can be challenging to complete a deal, though; Liverpool beat the Old Trafford team to the signings of Darwin Nez and Cody Gakpo.

When Mason Mount leaves Chelsea for Manchester United, John Terry and Didier Drogba react.

In response to Mason Mount’s video announcing his impending move to Manchester United this summer, a number of celebrities, including John Terry and Didier Drogba, have sent him a message.

Several former and current Chelsea players have commented on Mason Mount’s departure from the team this summer in anticipation of his move to rival Manchester United.
After months of lingering doubt about his future, the 24-year-old’s saga appears to be finally coming to a close.

The possibility of a sale during this transfer window increased because Mount has only one year left on his contract at Stamford Bridge and an extension deal seems unlikely. Despite a large number of interested parties, Manchester United appeared to be the only team to bid.

Numerous offers were rejected, including the “final” offer of £55 million, which the two clubs revisited during tense negotiations that resulted in an understanding. In the neighborhood of £60 million, according to what London knows. It’s now just a matter of making the announcement since the move is almost certainly happening, but Mount first wanted to address the fans.

He announced his decision to leave Chelsea in a video posted to Instagram, saying: “Given the speculation over the last six months this may not come as a surprise to you, but it doesn’t make it any easier to tell you. I wanted to personally express my gratitude to you for all of your support over the past 18 years because I felt that you deserved more than just a written thank you note.

“I know some of you won’t agree with my choice, but it’s what’s best for me at this point in my career. I joined Chelsea when I was six years old, and since then, we’ve been through a lot together, including winning the Youth Cup, my Player of the Year awards, the Super Cup, the Club World Cup, and of course the unforgettable Champions League victory night. I hope the best for you. “.

While some current players from the team, like Reece James and Marc Cucurella, have expressed their feelings regarding the England international’s departure, so have some former players. Another prince is leaving the club of his life, Didier Drogba captioned a video he reposted. Thank you, and best wishes to you, guys.

Three blue hearts were posted by former captain John Terry, and some teary emojis were posted by Kai Havertz, who recently joined Arsenal. Although official confirmation from Manchester United regarding the completion of the deal is still pending, an announcement is anticipated in the coming hours.

Surprise Chelsea transfer rumour: “Arsenal hijack,” “the ideal Pochettino player,” and “free agent”

Before September 1st, the transfer window is expected to take many unexpected turns, and Chelsea still has a lot of business to take care of.

The transfer period is currently open, and Chelsea has been active. The Blues still plan to bid farewell to players like Hakim Ziyech, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Christian Pulisic after having seen a large number of them leave west London.

Andrey Santos and Malo Gusto are two new players who are training with the squad for the first time for Mauricio Pochettino’s team. Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson will also be joining the team soon. The expectation is that more will do so.

Moises Caicedo, Gabri Veiga, Angelo Gabriel, and Matheus Franca, to name a few, are just a small portion of the players with whom Chelsea has been associated, but the Blues have demonstrated the capacity to close a deal quietly in the past. Carney Chukwuemeka unexpectedly left Aston Villa last summer, and his transfer was a big one for the Premier League.

Can they accomplish it again this summer? football. As a pleasant surprise for Pochettino, London’s Chelsea writers conjure up some surprising transfers that might show up at the Blues’ door.

Scott Trotter

The Aurelien Tchouameni transfer train should now be restarted. Real Madrid made sure the Blues were the Frenchman’s final destination when he returned in the summer of 2022, ensuring that the saga never quite reached its conclusion for the Blues.

Therefore, ears must perk up when Chelsea needs a midfielder and there is talk that the 23-year-old could leave the Bernabeu this summer, with teams like Arsenal interested. The Blues have already demonstrated over the past year that they are willing to put together a deal that can outbid their London rivals.

The investment, however, was substantial in Tchouameni. While Tchouameni would in many ways offer the same flexibility as Enzo Fernandez, with the ability to reclaim the ball in deep positions or show more attacking tendencies as a box-to-box eight, it feels like he could have the quality to help form an exciting partnership.

However, this would be another deal that could excite the fanbase. Chelsea are already planning to spend a lot of money on Moises Caicedo, who is undoubtedly a talented player who has demonstrated his ability to fit in in the Premier League.

Tom Coley.

Taking real cues from Mauricio Pochettino’s prior tactical work, Chelsea could use a right winger who prefers to play inside, is very careful with possession, but offers enough flashy risk and ball skill to open the tightest of defenses.

As examples, consider Dele Alli’s brief stints as a wide midfielder or Christian Eriksen’s position off the right side for Tottenham in a 4-2-3-1. Both players are right-footed, but with full-back overlapping and bombing, a player who can come inside easily would be a huge asset.

Hakim Ziyech is the Chelsea option right now, but he is 30 years old and, by his own admission, is dealing with a knee injury. The 30-year-old is the only other naturally right-handed player in the lineup and will not be at Chelsea in any capacity in 2019. Raheem Sterling can play there, but Noni Madueke is the preferred option and is not a typical Pochettino player.

It’s not to say that Pochettino won’t value and admire Madueke, but when it comes to dependable widemen based in London, Michael Olise is difficult to ignore.

Bobby Vincent

He is the contemporary Ziyech. He is a young option that wouldn’t cost the world or, to be honest, He has speed, an eye for a pass, jinxing ball control, and unnerving amounts of confidence. He’s regarded as fantastic according to football.London.

The best players Chelsea has recently acquired have either been homegrown or surprisingly affordable, not record-breaking, bank-breaking, mortgage-needing attackers. With a connection to London and dazzling uncertainty, Olise would fit Pochettino and his team’s age range.

Report: Liverpool makes a $69 million star signing offer worth £47 million.

Aurelien Tchoaumeni has been sought after by Liverpool for a while. He passed up the Reds to join Real Madrid last summer. But we still desire him.

The Merseysiders want to use the midfielder’s complicated situation at the Bernabeu to finally hire his services, claims Spanish source Nacional.

The Catalan news outlet reported that Klopp’s Liverpool have made the French international an offer of 55 million euros (£47 million).

The Les Bleus player’s development in Spain has been sluggish, so the Los Blancos will demand at least 80 million euros (£69 million) to offload him.

Madrid has a center of the park with a lot of quality and depth, as well as players of the highest caliber.

German international Toni Kroos has formally agreed to a one-year contract with the La Liga giants; Modric is also anticipated to remain with the club until next year; and Jude Bellingham has recently been added to further strengthen the department.

Tchouameni might play fewer minutes next season due to the presence of midfielders like Valverde, Camavinga, and Ceballos as well. During the 2022–23 season, he began 24 league games.

How can Liverpool even consider signing the 23-year-old for 55 million euros when Florentino Perez struck a deal worth 100 million euros to entice him away from AS Monaco last year?

The team that represented France in the World Cup final in Qatar included the former Ligue 1 star as a crucial player. In the semifinal matchup against England, he scored an outstanding long-range goal.

Should Liverpool accept Aurelien Tchouameni’s asking price of £69 million, in your opinion?

Liverpool and the 21-year-old La Liga player agree on a salary of £83,000. A week

Liverpool agree personal deals for Celta Vigo star Gabri Veiga

Celta Vigo star Gabri Veiga could certainly be on his way to Liverpool as representatives from both sides agree on personal terms.

According to Corriere del Mezzogiorno, Veiga will earn £83,000 a week via Paisley Gates (h/t ECHO) in Liverpool.

Facing competition from Premier League rivals Chelsea and Serie A side Napoli, Liverpool will certainly have to move quickly to secure the 21-year-old Spaniard’s signature.

The report also suggests that Napoli, under new coach Rudi Garcia, are planning a last-ditch effort to lure Gabri Veiga to Italy.

Garcia, who is looking to bolster his midfield options, sees the youngster as an important addition to his squad. Liverpool must fend off the Italian giants and prove that their project and ambitions are superior to those of Napoli while aiming to secure the services of Veiga.

Veiga has caught the eye with his impressive performances for Celta Vigo. At just 21, he has already shown great maturity and potential, catching the eye of several top European clubs. Known for his technical ability, vision and composure on the ball, Veiga certainly possesses the qualities Liverpool value in midfield.

Veiga at the Reds? Following the departure of several midfield mainstays, Liverpool could certainly use reinforcements in that department. Having a youngster like Veiga on board could mean the Reds will also be future-proof down the road.

The Reds are looking to strengthen their midfield by providing more depth and competition in an area which is central to their style of play. We need a dynamic midfielder who can contribute both in defense and attack, and Veiga’s abilities seem to fit the bill perfectly.

Although it is difficult to see him starting games week after week, it is a feeling that we have been missing as a club in recent years to have a quality option on the bench and ready to be called up according to our needs.

With the potential signing of Veiga, Liverpool could certainly solve that problem as well and be in contention for the title next season and beyond.

Ideally, we should have him on board as soon as possible. His market value will definitely increase at the European Under-21 Championship if he is above average.

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.
