    Liverpool is vying with Man United for a £40 million player, dubbed a “world class”

    David Hancko

    During the summer transfer window, Manchester United is reportedly interested in a player from Liverpool.

    Liverpool has started the transfer window quite slowly, but after the European Championships in Germany are over, they should expect to conduct more business.

    Arne Slot, the team’s recently hired manager, is eager to bring in a new centre defender after Joel Matip’s contract expired.

    It has just come to light that United has shortlisted one of their defensive targets.

    Over the past several months, Liverpool has been linked to a deal for Feyenoord defender David Hancko; however, it has now emerged that they are not the only team interested in the player.

    The Mirror claims that Manchester United is also considering a deal for Hancko, who GiveMeSport describes as “world class.”

    Although no formal proposal has been made as of yet, the 26-year-old, who did in fact work for Slot, is anticipated to cost suitors over £40 million this summer.

    Liverpool is rumoured to be mulling a move for Dean Huijsen, a teenage player for Juventus.

    Liverpool is examining Gleison Bremmer as well. Many central defenders are on Liverpool’s short list, and Slot is also interested in Gleison Bremmer.

    The Brazilian is not for sale, so even though the Merseysiders are desperate to sign him, they might have trouble closing the deal.

    In other developments, a player has now acknowledged turning down a Liverpool contract offer this summer.

    Liverpool is prepared to let go of the 25-year-old, who has acknowledged that he is open to leaving Anfield

    Liverpool is prepared to let go of the 25-year-old, who has acknowledged that he is open to leaving Anfield.

    Caoimhin Kelleher wants to start the season for Liverpool, so the club will take any offers that come in this summer into consideration.

    Football Insider claims that the Merseyside team is willing to sell some of its bench players in order to make room and money for future recruits.

    With just two years left on his present contract at Anfield and the admission that he is ready to resume goalkeeping following an outstanding 2023–24 season, Kelleher is one option available to the Reds.

    “I think my time as a number two is over. Currently, the goal is to rank first. The Reds shot-stopper recently told the Irish Mirror, “I am ready and capable.”

    The Irishman’s most successful season wearing a Liverpool shirt came last year, when he made 26 appearances across all competitions, including 14 straight games, when regular number-one Alisson was injured.

    The only obstacle to a possible transfer is Arne Slot’s lack of options at Anfield, where the Premier League’s top team lacks a custodian due to Adrian’s departure.

    For Caoimhin Kelleher to advance in his career, he must leave Liverpool.

    Kelleher has spent his whole career with Liverpool, and the only reason he has lasted this long is because of Jurgen Klopp’s admiration for the player.

    This is another incentive for Kelleher to leave the Reds, and new Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrímsson has lately recommended him to do so. The German coach is no longer with the team.

    According to the Irish Mirror, Hallgrímsson responded, “Of course, especially when he showed everyone that he can play at the highest level,” when asked if the goalie needs to leave Liverpool this summer.

    “It would be unfortunate if he stopped playing frequently after demonstrating to everyone his talent and calibre of play.”

    As he considers leaving Anfield, this summer will be crucial for Kelleher’s future and might shape the remainder of his career.

    David Hancko

    David Hancko’s wife confirms the Slovakian wants to leave Feyenoord as he continues to be linked with a move to Liverpool.

    Liverpool are on the market for a new centre-back this summer and have already been linked with a number of players.

    One such player is Feyenoord’s David Hancko, who has previously been linked with a reunion with Arne Slot at Anfield.

    Capable of playing at either centre-back or left-back, the defender caught the eye in Slovakia’s surprising Euro 2024 opener against Belgium, sparking fresh conjecture about his future plans.

    Liverpool were first linked with Hancko long before Slot’s arrival at Anfield, with his agent discussing his client’s future in January amid such transfer rumours.

    “As an agency, we are in contact not only with these two clubs (Liverpool and PSG), but also with others who are looking into David’s situation,” Branislav Jasurek of FairSport International, the defender’s agent, told TN.cz when questioned about Liverpool’s alleged interest.

    “The people at Feyenoord are aware that David Hancko will be sold, possibly better than today. It would have to be one of the larger clubs. He will not transfer from Feyenoord Rotterdam, who will compete in the Champions League, to a club in the second half of the Premier League.

    “It is unique about David because he still wishes to speak with the coach. We believe that in the summer, he will choose the finest in terms of sports, just as he did with Sparta Prague over other teams. Likewise, he picked Feyenoord Rotterdam over other, more financially enticing offers.

    “If he transfers, it will be fantastic because he will go to a huge club. But even if he doesn’t transfer, I believe David is content in Rotterdam and nothing significant will happen.”

    David Hancko

    Hancko’s wife, professional tennis star Kristana Pliskova, has now confirmed that the Slovakian wants to quit Feyenoord following the European Championships. However, she hinted that if it were up to her, she would not choose a move to the Premier League for one very good reason: the weather!

    “We’ll deal with it this summer. “Probably only after the championship, but I’m not that expert,” she told Sportovy. “I am not sure if it is up for grabs, but I believe he would like to move on. Actually, we’d both be pleased.

    “We will see what happens at the end. I am not complaining, but there are certainly nicer spots. “For me, Spain or Italy.”

    Admittedly, if Liverpool does sign Hancko, the English weather is unlikely to deter the Slovakian. While his representative mentioned his close relationship with now-former boss Slot, the defender is a lifelong Reds fan, and the attraction of a move to Anfield could be too much for him.

    “It all started with the Istanbul Champions League final in 2005, which my parents allowed me to watch until the end,” he told Slovakian publication Aktuality. Even though there was additional time, I didn’t have to go to bed.

    “Then came Martin Skrtel. I’ve been a Liverpool fan ever since. I am a big fan of the English Premier League, thus that is my dream. My role model has always been David Beckham, but I root mainly for Liverpool.”

    David Hancko

    Liverpool is in a three-way competition to sign Feyenoord defender David Hancko. However, the Reds may have a trump card, as the player recently confessed.

    New coach Arne Slot has yet to have a press conference or make any public statements since being named the club’s new manager, and with Richard Hughes also joining as the new sports director, Liverpool’s transfer targets are unknown.

    It is unclear whether Slot intends to recruit one or two of his former Feyenoord players, but Slovak defender Dávid Hancko has been identified as a potential transfer candidate.

    A few months back, Dutch journalist Valentijn Driessen stated that Slot should consider taking Hancko, the lone player now playing for Feyenoord, to Anfield.

    As of this writing, nothing has materialised. Liverpool has not purchased any players. This is likely to be the situation until Euro 2024, which ends on July 14. However, the team may lose the opportunity to sign Hancko very soon.

    According to Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, Leicester City and Atlético Madrid are currently in the running for the center-back. Furthermore, the Spanish publication adds that the capital club is in talks to recruit Real Sociedad’s Robin Le Normand, but they also want Hancko to play alongside him next season.

    Feyenoord values Hancko at approximately $37 million (£29 million/€35 million). Atlético will try to sign him for a cheaper price, but with Liverpool and Leicester keen in the defender, Feyenoord is unlikely to agree to release him for less than that. Liverpool may have a trump card, however.

    Hancko confessed to being a huge Liverpool fan in an interview with Slovakian outlet Aktuality: “It all started with the Istanbul Champions League final in 2005, which my parents let me watch till the finish and didn’t force me to go to bed even after extra time was called. Hancko said, “And then came Martin Škrtel.”

    “I’ve been a Liverpool fan ever since. I am a big fan of the English Premier League, thus that is my dream. My role model has always been David Beckham, but I root mainly for Liverpool.”

    According to Liverpool.com, Hancko’s fondness for Liverpool may make a prospective move easier and less expensive if the Reds approach the defender this summer. It’s definitely a case of ‘watch this space’.

    Liverpool might make it third time lucky in the Real Madrid transfer rivalry this summer.

    Latest Liverpool transfer news and gossip, with Lille defender Leny Yoro surfacing as a target for the Reds this summer, alongside Real Madrid and Manchester United.

    Liverpool appear to be preparing to compete with Real Madrid for another summer acquisition.

    This summer, the Reds are likely to be looking for numerous new signings. Arne Slot, the new head coach, will begin directing pre-season training next month and may help integrate new arrivals to his roster when the team travels to the United States for three friendly matches. One player that has been linked with a move to Liverpool is Leny Yoro.

    The Lille centre-back has emerged as a target for the Reds during Slot’s inaugural summer transfer window.

    The ECHO knows that Liverpool is keeping an eye on Yoro with the intention of making a transfer this summer, while Manchester United is also understood to be interested. However, the Reds are aware that Real Madrid is interested in the midfielder, and it is expected that Yoro would transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu due to his desire to join the La Liga giants.

    However, Liverpool has a chance of beating the Spanish club to Yoro’s signature this summer. If a deal to Real Madrid fails, the Reds are ready to step up their pursuit of the centre-back.

    Liverpool has faced a summer transfer war with the La Liga champions before. The Reds planned to recruit Aurelien Tchouameni from Monaco in 2022, but the France international ended up moving to Spain for a fee of up to £85 million instead.

    Just a year later, Liverpool was reportedly interested in signing Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund. Despite the Reds’ long-standing interest in the midfielder, Bellingham chose to sign to transfer to Madrid, and the club lost yet another target.

    Liverpool may hope for a different outcome in 2024. If Yoro prefers a move to Madrid and the La Liga heavyweights have the resources to execute the transaction, the Reds may not have much hope.

    However, Liverpool appears to be sticking in the race in the hope that an opportunity may occur. Following Joel Matip’s departure, the Reds might use a new centre-back, and Yoro would be an excellent choice.

    Arne Slot, the new manager of Liverpool, has made recommendations regarding Feyenoord in advance of his impending departure.

    As he gets ready to start moulding the Liverpool team, Arne Slot has stated that he will not be looking to raid Feyenoord for players this summer.

    Official confirmation of Slot’s hiring as Reds boss is anticipated later this month. Slot will follow departed manager Jurgen Klopp.

    On Sunday, both will lead their current clubs for the last time. Liverpool will host Wolves in the Premier League, while Feyenoord will host Excelsior in the Eredivisie.

    Given his track record with the Dutch team—he won the Dutch Cup this season, claimed the domestic championship the previous season, and advanced to the Europa Conference League final—Slot emerged as the front-runner to succeed Klopp.

    David HanckoArne Slot, the new manager of Liverpool, has made recommendations regarding Feyenoord in advance of his impending departure.

    Many of the 45-year-old’s current Feyenoord teammates, such as midfielder Mats Wieffer, defender Lutsharel Geerteruida, who recently attended the Reds’ draw at West Ham United, and center-back David Hancko, are already being linked to a summer transfer to Liverpool.

    However, Slot has advised Feyenoord that they would be better off keeping the nucleus of their team, suggesting he won’t be tempted to push to sign many of their players after moving to Anfield.

    “Our goal was and still is to improve the entire team,” he stated to the Dutch publication Algeen Dagblad. “And all of these boys have received the time and support they need to become better.

    “Feyenoord’s primary goal should be to limit the number of players who depart. After that, a lot of players will be able to play for the next six months while keeping their eyes closed.

    Lutsharel Geertruida

    Arne Slot may try to improve Liverpool’s roster in the summer by utilising his ties to Feyenoord.

    With one player already being linked, incoming Liverpool manager Arne Slot may look to his Feyenoord ties for fresh additions in the summer.

    After coming to a deal with the Dutch squad, Liverpool is almost certain to name Slot as their next manager in place of Jurgen Klopp. After nine years in command, Klopp will leave in the summer.

    After the club lost interest in Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim and initial top target Xabi Alonso declared his intention to stay at Bayer Leverkusen, Slot was chosen.

    June marks the start of the summer transfer market, and Slot will already be considering how he might use Feyenoord to bolster his team for 2024–2025. The current Dutch players at Anfield will need to step up and play a major part this summer, according to former Liverpool winger Ryan Babel, who also made a hint about a possible first signing for Slot.

    Lutsharel Geertruida

    “I wouldn’t be surprised to see Arne Slot bring in some players he already knows, perhaps from Feyenoord,” Babel exclusively stated to Ladbrokes Fanzone. Lutsharel Geertruida is a talented footballer who plays for the national team, and there are already rumours that he wants to sign him.

    He’s a physically fit guy who enjoys playing football, and I believe he could be ready to join this Liverpool team. I’d like to know where he plays. Right-back or center-back? He can play both positions, and I believe Liverpool has plenty of alternatives there currently.

    However, I believe that because he is Dutch, he will inevitably want some language-speaking members of his team. He will also want individuals who are already familiar with his ideology and the standards he has for his team.

    “Fortunately, Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, and Cody Gakpo—three Dutch players already on the Liverpool team—will instantly grasp his desires. That will undoubtedly be advantageous
