Liverpool ‘keen’ on £50m Premier League player as ‘scouting’ efforts begin

Latest Liverpool Transfer News and Gossip: Updates on Bryan Mbeumo and Orkun Kokc

Liverpool is already being linked to various potential signings ahead of the January transfer window, although they will need to wait over two months to make any new additions for the second half of the season.

In the summer, Liverpool acquired Federico Chiesa from Juventus for £12.5 million. However, the Italian forward has only made three appearances for the club due to persistent fitness issues.

Additionally, Georgi Mamardashvili was signed before the summer transfer window closed. The Georgian goalkeeper is currently on loan at Valencia but is set to officially join Liverpool next summer.

The ECHO reports that Liverpool is reportedly interested in Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo. According to talkSPORT, the Reds will compete with Arsenal and Newcastle for the Bees’ star as they look toward 2025. The report indicates that Brentford has set an asking price of £50 million for Mbeumo, anticipating interest from clubs like Liverpool. The Reds may see Mbeumo as a potential successor to Mohamed Salah, whose contract at Anfield expires at the end of the season.

In another development, Liverpool is once again linked with Benfica midfielder Orkun Kokcu. As reported by Portuguese news outlet Record, Liverpool scouts are actively watching Kokcu ahead of a potential transfer.

Liverpool representatives are reportedly “gathering information” about Kokcu to consider signing the playmaker either in January or next summer. The Turkey international has previously worked with Liverpool head coach Arne Slot during their time at Feyenoord.

Recent reports suggest that Kokcu has a €150 million (£125 million) release clause in his Benfica contract, though other sources indicate that the club values him at €80 million (£66.5 million).

£66.6m star reportedly refuses Liverpool’s terms despite substantial offer

Liverpool will face Arsenal today in a key match that could strengthen their status as contenders in the Premier League.

Arne Slot’s team has made a strong start to the season, but performing well against top teams is essential.

Despite their impressive performances so far, Liverpool has a significant concern. It’s remarkable that they might lose three of their top players on free transfers at the season’s end.

Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold have been pivotal to Liverpool’s success over the past decade. Two of them serve as the club’s captain and vice-captain, making their contributions vital.

However, if Liverpool does not secure contract renewals, these players could leave for nothing. Recently, reports indicated that Liverpool made a substantial offer to the England international in hopes of reaching an agreement.

According to Football Insider, Trent Alexander-Arnold is unlikely to renew his contract and may be heading to Real Madrid, who have shown significant interest in him.

Last summer, Liverpool placed a £66.6 million valuation on Trent. Losing such a talent without compensation would be disastrous, prompting the Reds to do everything possible to persuade him to remain.

One thing that can be said about Liverpool is that the media often lacks insight into the club’s internal matters, meaning these rumors could simply be speculation aimed at influencing the player.

Liverpool set to finalize deal for £50 milliom star

Mohamed Salah has been Liverpool’s key right-winger for several years, but he is now in the final year of his contract and past his prime.

Consequently, Liverpool risks losing him for free next year. Should they fail to retain him, Arne Slot will need to find a replacement for the Egyptian in 2025.

Tony Cascarino, speaking with a fan on talkSPORT, suggested that Liverpool might look to sign Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo as a potential successor to Salah. Cascarino highlighted several reasons why Mbeumo would be a fitting choice. He commented:

“I remember saying to you about if Mo Salah left, Mbeumo would be the one I would have gone after. He’s got so much about him, he’s got goals, he’s got durability. He’s just a nuisance every time he plays.”

Brentford initially sought £50m for Mbeumo, but with his contract nearing its final year next summer, they might reduce their asking price to over £40m if he does not agree to an extension in the upcoming months.

Mbeumo, who turned 25 last month, primarily plays as a right-winger but can also operate as a center-forward. He demonstrated his abilities in the Premier League last season with nine goals and six assists in 22 starts, and he has already netted three goals in four appearances this season. Given that his prime years are ahead of him, he could be a valuable acquisition for Liverpool.

According to report – Liverpool Set to Offer £50.6m, Poised to Make Final Move for Playmaker

In recent weeks, the situation with Liverpool has been quite amusing. It seems they have been connected with more players after the transfer window closed than they were during the recent summer period.

Even though Liverpool only added Federico Chiesa to their squad for this season, they have made an excellent start to life after Jürgen Klopp. Under Arne Slot, the team has won every match so far and has done so without conceding a single goal.

Liverpool is once again rumored to be interested in La Liga playmaker Takefusa Kubo from Real Sociedad.

Last month, the Madrid-based outlet AS reported that Liverpool was prepared to pay Kubo’s release clause of £50.6 million, but the player chose to remain with Real Sociedad. The 23-year-old also turned down substantial offers from Saudi Arabia to stay in Spain.

Now, another Spanish source, Fichajes, states that Liverpool has not given up and will make another attempt to secure Takefusa Kubo.

The media outlet also mentions that Kubo has a release clause of £50.6 million, and Liverpool faces no difficulty in meeting that amount.

Given Liverpool’s willingness to spend more to sign Martin Zubimendi in the summer, they are unlikely to encounter problems paying Kubo’s release clause. The challenge with these Real Sociedad players has been persuading them to move.

There seems to be a strong loyalty among players at the Basque club. Players like Kubo, Zubimendi, and Mikel Oyarzabal have opted to stay despite significant interest, but this might change in the future.

Takefusa Kubo, who scored the decisive goal against Espanyol last month, is deserving of playing for a top club, and a transfer to Liverpool would be ideal for him.

The Japanese talent could potentially replace Mohamed Salah at Anfield, and only time will reveal whether Liverpool can finalize a deal for him in upcoming transfer windows.

Liverpool may sign a second Diogo Jota this summer in a deal worth $63 million.

A forward who has yet to score more than ten goals in a Premier League season has been linked to Liverpool. However, a comparison to Diogo Jota presents a different image.

In a realistic yet best-case scenario, Liverpool might add three great players to Arne Slot’s team this summer. A center-back is essential, and it would be great to have attackers and holding midfielders as well.

Naturally, additional signings may be required if Caoimhin Kelleher—or anyone else—can’t be persuaded to continue as Alisson Becker’s backup. However, as things stand now, those three areas are the clear gaps.

Ahead of Michael Edwards, Richard Hughes, and co. taking up their new roles and Slot’s first day as head coach, there have already been a number of connections to attacking reinforcements. From Anthony Gordon to Crysensio Summerville, it is believed that Liverpool is considering a forward trade.

However, a rather surprising new addition to the list this week was the report from the French publication L’Equipe that Bryan Mbeumo, a winger for Brentford, is being considered by the Reds. Mbeumo’s goal returns for the Bees are quite meagre at first glance, especially in light of HITC’s report that Brentford would demand $63 million (£50 million/€58 million) for his services.

The 24-year-old has scored nine goals in the Premier League in each of the previous two seasons, which is more than Luis Diaz scored in the most recent campaign, but it is barely noteworthy. That being said, the player is considerably more complex than that. The greater concern with signing Mbeumo before the upcoming season is that he will likely start ahead of Mohamed Salah in the starting lineup, primarily playing off the right side and cutting in on his left.

Though Salah’s injury and poor play in the second half of the season demonstrated, he can also play through the centre, so having an alternative for the Egyptian would not be a bad thing. Mbuemo might be a suitable stylistic match.

Although his goal total may not instantly make your heart race, Liverpool has previously signed players with comparable production in the hopes that they would succeed. Similar to Mbuemo, Diogo Jota was playing well for the Wolves, but with stronger players and support around him, he may reach new heights.

Following Wolves’ promotion to the top division, Jota scored nine goals in 33 appearances in the first season. He then scored seven goals in 34 league games the next year. This led to his transfer to Liverpool, where he has scored 56 goals in 145 games, but it is not the whole tale.

Jota has not always been readily available, but when he has been healthy, he has been very productive. The 27-year-old has missed significant time in each of his seasons at Anfield. Even though he was healthy throughout, that helped to explain why, during an exceptionally dry spell, he failed to find the back of the net for a full year.

In comparison, Mbuemo has only experienced one injury. That occurred in the season recently, between December and March, when he sustained an ankle knock that required him to miss 15 games. But if he stays healthy, the Cameroonian might see a similar upsurge as Jota, a player who is adored at Liverpool and who, in the event that his fitness could be more heavily relied upon, would be a surefire starter.

Current transfer rumours and live coverage of Liverpool, including news on Arne Slot, Joe Gomez, Bryan Mbeumo, Alisson Becker, and Luis Diaz

According to reports, Joe Gomez and Luis Diaz from Liverpool are the most recent players being pursued for a transfer to Saudi Arabia.

Gomez and Diaz, who have apparently “emerged as targets” for the Saudi Pro League as they continue to strive for household names in the football world, have reportedly been connected to teams like Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks.

Federico Chiesa, a forward for Juventus, is reportedly once more on the radar. According to a recent source, Liverpool is reportedly “keeping an eye” on the player’s contract status.

Liverpool may save millions as a result of the Mbeumo deal.

Bryan Mbeumo, a winger for Brentford, has described being linked to teams like Liverpool this summer as “tantalising.”

He said to L’Equipe, “I would like to play in the biggest competitions, at the best clubs.” “Seeing that some major clubs are interested in me is tempting. We’ll see.

The 24-year-old appears to be indicating that he wants to leave Brentford this summer, as sources indicate Liverpool is interested in him. There have been rumours that Luis Diaz is being watched by several European teams, leading the Reds to search for a winger under Arne Slot.

Liverpool battle for Mbeumo transfer

According to L’Equipe, Liverpool is interested in acquiring Bryan Mbeumo, a star player for Brentford, during the summer transfer window.

According to their claim, Newcastle is also in the running, and the Cameroonian international has hinted that it might be time to move on.

He stated to L’Équipe, “Yeah, I would like to play in the biggest competitions, at the finest clubs. I have spent five years at Brentford, at a club that has allowed me to improve and pass a milestone. Seeing that some major clubs are interested in me is tempting. We’ll see.

Rodrygo declared his transfer stance.

Rodrygo is anticipated to stay at Real Madrid this summer in spite of Kylian Mbappe’s arrival and other exit links.

According to trade expert Fabrizio Romano, the Brazil international is expected to stay in the Spanish capital despite suggestions that he join Liverpool, Arsenal, or Chelsea.

£100m Salah transfer message sent by Liverpool

A former player has instructed Liverpool to sell star striker Mohamed Salah in the event that a £100 million deal comes in during this summer’s transfer window.

This weekend marks Arne Slot’s official arrival at the team, and one of his first assignments will be to resolve Salah’s situation, since he has been connected to a move out. Saudi Arabia has already expressed interest, and the incoming Liverpool manager has been informed of the reasons it would be advantageous to split ways with him in the event that a three-figure offer was made.

“I genuinely think Mohamed Salah would be at the top of the list,” Nicol stated to ESPN. “Listen, I think you should accept it if you can get £100 million for him. A squad is what you need.
