Transfer BOMBSHELL from Liverpool to Barcelona revealed by Luis Diaz

Luis Diaz reportedly intends to accomplish a “dream” by moving to Barcelona this summer, according to a recent Spanish press story.

In light of his uncertain future, Diaz, 27, has been linked to a possible move from Liverpool in recent reports.

The Colombian has a contract with Anfield through 2027, but given his recent struggles, it’s been speculated that the Reds may decide to cash in on their chances in the event that a strong offer comes in.

Prior discussions between Diaz’s representation and Barca executives hinted that Liverpool could want a price tag of between €120 million and €140 million for the winger, which would be prohibitively expensive for the Catalans.

But according to recent reports, Diaz is dead set on moving to Barcelona, which may pave the way for a Liverpool exit.

For the financially challenged Catalans, who must adhere to stringent budgetary restrictions coming into the transfer season, it would be a difficult operation.

Joan Laporta, the president of the club, is reportedly looking for outside investment to get the necessary funds for new hires because she is at a loss for financial options.

Barca also have a number of first-team players that they are open to hearing bids for.

To raise money for possible additions, players like Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Ferran Torres may be made available this summer.

FOUR LIVERPOOL STARS OFFERED TO BARCELONA

According to recent sources, Barca has spoken with third parties about FOUR Liverpool players: Fabio Carvalho, Darwin Nunez, Kostas Tsimikas, and Diaz are all being considered for trades.

Furthermore, if the Catalan club could afford the additions, it was implied that all four were effectively offered to them.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Diaz is reportedly getting preference over players like Nico Williams, Dani Olmo, and Porto star Pepe, indicating that Barca is desperate to recruit a top-tier left winger.

With new sporting director Richard Hughes taking over as director of player acquisitions and FSG CEO of Football Michael Edwards taking over as head of football, this summer at Liverpool seems to be a time of regeneration under Jurgen Klopp.

Additionally, Liverpool will have a new coach—likely Arne Slot—and it’s unclear which players the Merseysiders would consider expendable.

Regarding Liverpool’s future under Arne Slot, Fabio Carvalho has stated his position clearly.

.

With a new manager at Liverpool, Fabio Carvalho is excited for a “fresh start” and hopes to make an impression in preseason.

Carvalho’s future appeared assured when he went on loan to RB Leipzig and then, following a fruitless stay in Germany, moved to Hull in the Championship.

But several players in the team will surely adopt a different attitude as Jurgen Klopp leaves his position as manager of Liverpool at the end of the campaign.

Arne Slot is expected to take over as head coach. Prior to the announcement of the Dutchman’s impending appointment, Carvalho gave an overview of his expectations for the upcoming campaign in an interview with the Liverpool Echo.

In my opinion, it’s a new beginning. Not only for me, of course, but for everyone who enters,” he clarified.

For me and others like Tyler [Morton], it will be a fresh start. All we can do is take the risks that present themselves. Take it with both hands and give it a firm grip.

“I’ve talked to Tyler about the summer. particularly in light of the revelation regarding Jurgen.

We just had a conversation regarding possible changes to the club.

In the end, we are both starting over. With everything to gain and nothing to lose, we’ll just head back there.

Carvalho’s 360 minutes on the pitch and three starts during his tenure at Leipzig were disappointing for everyone parties, but his transfer to Hull has been a revelation.

In 19 appearances thus far, all of which have been starts, the 21-year-old has scored nine goals and provided two assists. He is particularly effective in a more central role as a false nine.

Carvalho’s attention will first be on Saturday’s trip to Plymouth before turning his attention to Liverpool as Hull looks to secure a spot in the promotion playoffs on the last day of the Championship.

“I want to make it into the starting lineup and into the Liverpool first team, of course,” he added.

“I’m currently concentrating on Hull City and getting promoted.

“I’m going to wait and see how the preseason plays out before we decide on my future.”

“At Liverpool, there have been some highs and some lows,” he continued. It has required some learning.

“It all comes down to improving and learning. We have the coaches, the facilities, and the players from whom I can learn.

“I’m simply eager for what lies ahead. It hasn’t been perfect [so far], but depending on your perspective, it might be a good thing. It can only get better.

Liverpool transfer news: Mohamed Salah and two Reds talents are being targeted by Saudi teams

Al-Ittihad showed interest in Mohamed Salah during the summer, and Liverpool may have to resist their advances for two more players in the upcoming transfer windows.

Jurgen Klopp’s team is under further stress as a result of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s injury, dealing another blow to Liverpool.

After rupturing a ligament in his knee, Alexander-Arnold will miss some time. Along with him missing time due to injury are fellow full-backs Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas. But Liverpool may at least add more players now that the January transfer window is open.

Due to the Africa Cup of Nations and Asia Cup, Klopp is currently without Mohamed Salah and Wataru Endo as well. As a result, all hands must be on deck. Here are the most recent speculations and news regarding the club. There is still plenty of time in the January window to take action.

The threat from Saudi Arabia grows.

Al-Ittihad made a strong drive to capture Salah during the summer, presenting the star player from Liverpool with an incredible package valued at an astounding £215 million. The Saudi Pro League may still seek more Liverpool players in the summer, so this threat isn’t going to go away.

Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Sadio Mane all headed for the riches of the Middle East last summer and Caught Offside predicts that Joe Gomez and Joel Matip will be targeted at the end of the 2023/24 season. Steven Gerrard is in charge of Al-Ettifaq, and it has been claimed that he recently convened a recruitment meeting to identify prospects for the next summer season.

Matip is currently sidelined with a significant knee injury and his term expires at the end of the season, although Klopp has raised the prospect of the club extending it. Because of his recent injuries, Gomez has emerged as an important player, and Liverpool will be reluctant to lose him.

Mbappe is still available

Kylian Mbappe is out of contract at Paris Saint-Germain in June and had been largely expected to join Real Madrid following years of not-so-subtle wooing. Real Madrid and he are in negotiations, but Liverpool is still a possibility.

ESPN believes reports that he has committed himself to the Spanish giants are off of the mark and Liverpool could yet reach out to Mbappe. This month, when asked about his future, Mbappe replied, “I haven’t made my decision yet.” I haven’t decided what to do.

The possibility of Liverpool losing Salah to Saudi Arabia makes the signing of Mbappe appear less absurd. He is set on moving on from the club this summer, as he has already committed to forgoing a £69 million loyalty bonus.

Hull make Carvalho promise

The announcement of Liverpool youngster Fabio Carvalho’s loan move to Hull City till the end of the season was announced on Wednesday. Liverpool cancelled his loan with RB Leipzig early so they could get him more playing time.

The 21-year-old attacking midfielder attracted a lot of interest, and Southampton and Leicester were also interested parties, but Liverpool had excellent reason to select Hull.

Jurgen Klopp signs his first January deal, confirming Liverpool transfer

After being recalled from RB Leipzig earlier this month, midfielder Fabio Carvalho has joined HullCity on loan, according to confirmation from Liverpool.

The completion of Fabio Carvalho’s loan move to Hull City has been announced by Liverpool.

For the duration of the season, the 21-year-old midfielder is a temporary member of the Tigers’ team. After making three starts in 15 games during his time at RB Leipzig, Carvalho was recently called back by the Reds as they searched for a team where he could play regularly.

Carvalho has played in the Championship before; during the 2021–2022 season, he scored 18 goals in 36 league appearances for Fulham, which persuaded the team to sign the youthful midfield player. Tyler Morton, another Liverpool loanee, will join him at Hull.

The offensive midfielder, who was a member of Liverpool’s first team squad and made 22 appearances in his rookie season before slipping down the roster, will be trying to make an impression on Jurgen Klopp from a distance. The Tigers are now one spot off of the play-off spots from Hull’s viewpoint, therefore manager Liam Rosenior will be hoping Carvalho can aid in the team’s bid for promotion.

Rosenior stated on Hull City’s official website, “Fábio is excited to be coming here and I’m delighted to be working with him until the end of the season.” Technically, he is excellent. He can run in behind, score, and assist. He is bold, agile, well-balanced, and adept at taking the ball.

“Liverpool has seen the work we’ve done with Tyler Morton, so they can see how much potential he has. I can’t thank them enough for their trust.” Fábio has the capacity to significantly influence our season and lead us to our desired outcome.

More news…….

Jordan Henderson “offered” to two of the biggest teams in Europe, but Jürgen Klopp emphasises Liverpool’s reality.

Jordan Henderson, the former captain of Liverpool, has had interest in returning, but Jürgen Klopp has summed up the current situation.

Jordan Henderson might have been three matches away from another historic Liverpool trophy lift if he had made different choices last summer. He’d be dreaming of a quadruple too, for the second time in three seasons.

Instead, if the Daily Mail is to be believed, he’s over in Saudi Arabia, frantically looking for a way out. The only thing keeping his present manager, Steven Gerrard, from losing his job is the small number of fans who are attending this disgraceful game.

Two of Liverpool’s new midfield additions, making up seventy-five percent of the midfield, were unable to start the FA Cup match against Arsenal. Bobby Clark had made his introduction by the time the match ended. Henderson was aware that if he stayed at Anfield, he would not be a sure starter, but there would have been minutes available.

Liverpool, meanwhile, hasn’t looked back and won’t do so anytime soon. Jürgen Klopp was questioned about Henderson’s situation and the likelihood of a comeback following the victory. The manager’s expression certainly said more about him than his response, but when the two last spoke, he affirmed that this was not a matter on the agenda.

So what’s next for Henderson? It is evident that he still has the trust of England boss Gareth Southgate, which must be confusing to Curtis Jones, who has brought such vitality to a once-stagnant Liverpool midfield. However, considering his current salary, it’s difficult to imagine many clubs choosing to take the risk.

Bayern Munich and Juventus have reportedly made an offer for Henderson, according to talkSPORT. In addition, ‘nearly every Premier League club’ and Bayer Leverkusen have expressed interest in him.

However, Al-Ettifaq has not made such offer because it does not want to approve of a sale and believes that his salary will probably be a barrier to obtaining a loan. An interested party would have to work hard to negotiate a transaction given these obstacles.

According to Liverpool.com, could teams like Juventus or Bayern Munich actually attempt to free Henderson from Saudi Arabia at a substantial financial expense? Taking him on as a low-risk wager would be one thing, but the 33-year-old has an extremely weak hand because his club is not a willing seller.

If things were different, it would be simple to feel bad for him. However, when Henderson signed on the dotted line and prioritised money over a plethora of other factors, all of this was ludicrously foreseeable. Liverpool has fully moved on, and the midfield player may also need to find a way to accept his decision.

Liverpool transfer news: “Bids fly in” for Jürgen Klopp’s star player, and the release clause is “confirmed”

Liverpool transfer news: Offers have been made for a Jürgen Klopp star, and there is a reputed target with an achievable release clause. Manchester United is also reportedly keen.

Arsenal is Liverpool’s FA Cup return match today, but it hasn’t stopped the transfer rumour mill from spinning. Although Jürgen Klopp has downplayed the likelihood of signings in January, it is still feasible for players to leave on loan or even permanently.

There’s a possibility Liverpool will see an opening. Although the deal for Cody Gakpo was finalised in December ahead of the 2023 winter window, the agreement for Luis Díaz with FC Porto was reached in the final moments of the previous year after Spurs made a move for the winger, who the Reds intended to sign the summer before.

It’s feasible that some business could be done if something similar occurred again or if Liverpool was able to add a center-back to strengthen its defensive ranks who unexpectedly became available. However, it is most likely that the Anfield powder is kept out of the water until the summer.

Liverpool will already be thinking about the summer and making plans. There is a case to be made for adding a second midfield player in addition to defensive reinforcements, and the deeper roster may require additional support due to the modified Champions League format. Liverpool should be among the qualifying teams. From the following season forward, the schedule would be even more demanding.

This is Liverpool.com’s assessment of the transfer rumours that have been circulating about the Reds lately. We begin with a promising Crystal Palace striker who may be a viable choice.

Michael Olise (Crystal Palace)

According to Football Transfers, Liverpool and Manchester United are expected to compete for 22-year-old Crystal Palace youngster Michael Olise during the summer transfer window. There is rumoured to be a $76 million (£60 million/€70 million) release clause for the young French attacker.

Given that Anfield will eventually need a long-term succession plan to replace Mohamed Salah, Olise might be a worthwhile candidate to take into account. However, Liverpool ought to try to delay the necessity of replacing the Egyptian as long as they can.

According to Liverpool.com, Liverpool supporters’ opinions on the possibility of signing Olise are expected to be divided. Although Salah is a fantastic young talent, it is difficult to see the Reds spending that much money on him if they want Salah to stay on Merseyside in the summer.

Olise’s final destination may be largely determined by whose team in 2024 most needs a right-sided forward. Salah should be bound by a contract extension from Liverpool to make sure it’s not them.

Fabio Carvalho (Liverpool)

Fábio Carvalho, an offensive midfielder for Liverpool, is now attracting interest from several teams after his season-long loan with RB Leipzig was cut short due to a lack of playing time. There are ‘flying in’ bids for the Portugal star, so he needs to choose his next move wisely, according to TeamTalk.

Carvalho is reportedly of interest to a few major Championship teams, such as Leeds United, as well as Premier League teams, such as Wolves, according to Fabrizio Romano. With another loan period in the works, Liverpool will take its time in determining the best course of action. Carvalho is unlikely to play regularly if he stays at Anfield.

According to Liverpool.com; Carvalho is undoubtedly a gifted player, but notes that he still needs to figure out how to fit in with the club. He will probably play as an attacking midfielder, much like Ryan Gravenberch or Curtis Jones, but he must demonstrate that he is capable of playing at their level. It might be crucial to get his next loan move just perfect.

Exclusive: Fabrizio Romano offers details on the Liverpool star’s anticipated next transfer.

Although Fabio Carvalho returned early from his loan term at RB Leipzig, Fabrizio Romano claims that Carvalho is coveted by Southampton and other clubs. Carvalho appears likely to go out on loan from Liverpool once more.

The 21-year-old was formally reported to be returning to Anfield yesterday, but it doesn’t appear he will be around for very long. He struggled to get playing time while he was in Germany.

Speaking only to CaughtOffside for his Daily Briefing column, Romano revealed that Carvalho will be returning to the loan scene, which he believed would be beneficial for the youthful offensive midfield player from Portugal.

As was mentioned a few weeks back, Carvalho’s playing time at Leipzig did not sit well with Liverpool. Romano stated that despite the Bundesliga team’s strong desire to retain him, the player was hardly seeing the pitch, and his official return to Anfield was revealed yesterday.

“So what happens next? For the second half of the season, Carvalho is expected to have a new loan move. Carvalho is about to depart from Liverpool, and a number of Premier League and Championship teams, including Southampton, are interested in loaning him.

Additionally, I believe that a loan move is the wisest course of action for the child at this point in his career. He’s a huge talent; the past year or two hasn’t been easy for him, but I have no doubt that he can recover with the correct loan move and consistent playing time.

Although Carvalho had a rough patch in the previous year or two, he showed great promise as a player when he was at Fulham, so the perfect loan transfer at this moment could be exactly what he needs to turn things around professionally.

Liverpool has an easy, free solution to replace Mohamed Salah.

Mohamed Salah might not be available for Liverpool until the middle of February, depending on how Egypt does in the AFCON.

In the midst of a Premier League title race, Liverpool would have preferred to avoid losing Mohamed Salah for an extended length of time.

But that is exactly the dilemma Jurgen Klopp and his coaching staff will soon be forced to face with as the 31-year-old prepares to take part in the latest edition of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). If Egypt makes it to the competition final, Salah might be absent until February 11 when AFCON kicks off on January 13.

Salah’s exit occurs at a time when the attacking options for the Reds have been spotty, with others needing to step up to fill the void left by his absence in the final third. Diogo Jota’s return will help alleviate some of this goal-scoring pressure, and another player may surprise everyone by making an impact.

In fact, because of his lack of playing time at RB Leipzig, Liverpool may decide to recall Fabio Carvalho during the January transfer window. The Fulham academy alumnus was sent on loan to the Bundesliga team for the whole current campaign, but his playing time has been restricted to a meagre few cameos in league and cup play.

Carvalho’s circumstances aren’t expected to get better anytime soon either, as Leipzig is attempting to finalise a move for Eljif Elmas, an offensive midfielder for Napoli, which will further demote him from the German team’s hierarchy.

Due to Carvalho’s current circumstances, which are neither advantageous to the 21-year-old or the Reds, Liverpool has started discussions about recalling the player. For the second part of the current season, Klopp may choose to keep the 2021–2022 Championship winner, but he might also choose to loan the player to another team.

The youthful player showed glimpses of brilliance during his first season on Merseyside, most notably in back-to-back games in August 2022 against Newcastle and Bournemouth, where the former Fulham star scored in both matches despite just playing off the bench. In December of last year, during a Carabao Cup away match against Manchester City, Carvalho also made an impression by reacting almost immediately to Erling Haaland’s opening goal at the Etihad Stadium.

There is definitely a case to be made for Carvalho to have a major part based on Liverpool’s January schedule. The Lisbon native might play left flank in a two-leg Carabao Cup semi-final matchup with his old team Fulham, as well as a Premier League trip to Bournemouth, giving players like Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz a much-needed break.

Preserving trophy ambitions can be maintained by retaining Carvalho on the Reds’ roster as they get ready to compete on all fronts at the beginning of the season.

Recap of Liverpool’s transfer news: Michael Olise claim, and Fabio Carvalho recalled

News, rumours, gossip, and speculation on transfers involving Liverpool, including the most recent on Fabio Carvalho Michael Olise, Thiago Alcantara, Fabio Carvalho, Antonio Silva, Kylian Mbappe, Thiago Alcantara, Joao Neves, and Nino

Liverpool is reportedly looking for a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, and they have scouted Crystal Palace forward Michael Olise in great detail.

In other news, the Reds’ purported pursuit of Benfica’s Antonio Silva and Joao Neves has reportedly resulted in a double blow.

Both are said to have attracted interest from prominent European teams as they are the newest players to join the club this year, and their performances have helped Benfica take the lead in Liga Portugal.

Nevertheless, manager Roger Schmidt has taken steps to put an end to any rumours in advance of the January transfer window, which has added credence to rumours of unbelievable release clauses in their contracts.

Several teams, including Southampton, are interested in Fabio Carvalho.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Southampton, a Championship team, is one of the teams interested in Fabio Carvalho.

The young player from Liverpool returned after his underwhelming loan at RB Leipzig, where he managed just three starts for the Bundesliga team.

According to the ECHO, efforts are being made to find the Portuguese under-21 international who will conclude the 2024 season away from Anfield.

Additionally, Romano reports that Russell Martin’s Saints are among the clubs expressing interest.

“Fabio Carvalho will leave Liverpool on loan in January; he won’t be staying after his loan from Leipzig was recalled,” he wrote.

“I know Southampton is one of the clubs interested in him. #SaintsFC.” Given that Carvalho is a part of the team’s future ambitions, Liverpool wants guarantees about game time.”

How did Carvalho fare in the Bundesliga?

It would be an understatement to say that Fabio Carvalho’s tenure at RB Leipzig was disappointing. The 21-year-old, who struggled to establish a regular spot during his first season at Liverpool, moved to the Bundesliga team with great expectations.

It was believed that Carvalho, whom the Reds pushed aggressively to recruit from Fulham in 2022, would take the next stages in his development at a club with which Liverpool had a good relationship and whose strategy had tangible success, in developing some of Europe’s hottest talents in recent seasons.

Carvalho, however, has only played in fewer than 200 minutes of Bundesliga action since August after signing PSG and Dutch sensation Xavi Simmons on a loan move that would go until the end of the season. He only made one league start during that period.

In fact, Carvalho and Liverpool must now make a crucial choice about his development to give him the best opportunity of ever playing at Anfield after he was called up to Merseyside.

Carvalho is incredibly talented, as shown by his outstanding accomplishments in the Championship two years ago. But the main question at hand right now is how Liverpool manages to unlock that on a regular basis.

Fabio Carvalho returns to Liverpool early

Fabio Carvalho has been recalled from his loan spell at Bundesliga side RB Leipzig. The 21-year-old, who moved to Germany in the summer, has only played in 158 minutes of league action.

“We are unable to guarantee this for him due to the quality and competition within our squad at his position,” RB Leipzig sporting director Rouven Schroder stated in response to the decision. We had multiple conversations over the past few days and ultimately made the decision to terminate his loan early.”

Michael Olise is being considered by Liverpool for a transfer.

Michael Olise, a forward for Crystal Palace, has apparently been thoroughly scouted by Liverpool as the team makes preparations for life without Mohamed Salah, according to Football Insider.

With less than 18 months left on his current contract, the 31-year-old Egyptian is expected to get further attention from the Saudi Pro League throughout the summer.

The report adds: “The Merseysiders’ recruitment team have dispatched top scouts to regularly watch the 22-year-old, who scored a brace in Saturday’s (30 December) 3-1 Premier League win over Brentford.”

What Liverpool FC has to offer during the January transfer window

The January transfer window is now open, but what can Liverpool realistically hope to do before the end of the month deadline?

The Reds have acquired or loaned players since 2020, including Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Ben Davies, Ozan Kabak, and Takumi Minamino, so they are no strangers to a January acquisition.

There will be cries for Liverpool to bolster while they can, particularly in defence following a string of injuries, given that Jurgen Klopp’s team is very much in the running for the championship.

The Reds are expected to have a quiet offseason, but what else might the team reveal? The window officially opened on January 1st.

Any incoming

When it comes to Liverpool, rumours are always present; the challenge is in sorting out the verifiable ones from the cacophony.

Fluminense midfielder Andre was linked during the first part of the season, but that ship has gone, as David Lynch of This Is Anfield reported in November that a January “swoop” is not in the cards.

Joao Palhinha of Fulham is not available for a transfer either.

Though injuries to Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas have left Joe Gomez with a job at left-back, the defence is receiving a lot of attention following Joel Matip’s season-ending ACL injury.

Shortly after Matip’s injury, Klopp distanced the team from any defensive signings, stating, “They all cost money, it must be the right player.” Tell me about a team looking to offload a very, very good center-half.

Even still, links between players like Goncalo Inacio of Sporting and Antonio Silva of Benfica have persisted, even though local Merseyside media have not yet produced any solid information.

Liverpool is vying for the title, so it would be great if they were aggressive during the transfer season, but early indications suggest that reinforcements won’t arrive until the summer.

Sales

The team rarely engages in mid-season sales, opting instead to arrange a loan transfer or hold onto a player until the summer.

Despite ongoing rumours of Thiago being linked to Barcelona, which are illogical given his injury and the fact he will be a free agent in the summer, one would anticipate that to stay the case in January.

It’s possible that rumours about players like Fabio Carvalho and Nat Phillips could surface again, but Dominic Solanke—who moved to Bournemouth in 2019—will probably end up being the most recent first-team acquisition made during the winter transfer window.

Loans

We anticipate that most of the winter action will occur here, since there are several loans to evaluate following a varied first half of the season.

After having little or no game time, Phillips (Celtic) and Rhys Williams (Aberdeen) are predicted to follow Carvalho in concluding their tenure early.

For the second half of the season, they might each be paired with a different loan, although Liverpool will have to exercise caution given their recent failings.

With Robertson and Tsimikas injured, there may be discussion about whether Owen Beck, who has been playing well for Dundee, is still needed at left back, even if James Balagizi (Wigan) may potentially make a comeback due to a fresh injury.

According to reports, Beck’s contract contains a clause that would allow Liverpool to bring him back to Anfield, but they won’t do anything to impede his progress.

Calvin Ramsay has been welcomed by Preston, but he has only made two appearances thus far due to a combination of illness and injury. This month, the club will also be closely examining Ramsay’s situation.

In addition to the 16 loans that were finalised during the summer transfer window, Marcelo Pitaluga, Bobby Clark, Kaide Gordon, Paul Glatzel, and Matteo Ritaccio are all potential candidates for new short-term agreements.

January 1, 2024
Liverpool can seal a January deal for Pep Guardiola’s target by utilising an overlooked wonderkid.

January transfer rumours have linked Liverpool to Fulham full-back Antonee Robinson.

Liverpool is prepared to make a move in January to add defensive reinforcements to their roster as manager Jurgen Klopp looks to maintain the Reds’ lead in the Premier League.

The Merseyside club has endured blow after setback in recent weeks, first losing Greek international Kostas Tsimikas after he was tackled by Arsenal and injured his collar bone.

It’s time to replace Tsimikas, who was stepping in for the injured Andy Robertson.

According to recent sources, there is a proposal to sign promising young player Antonee Robinson of Fulham, who is being pursued by several European clubs.

Robinson’s dynamic performances, unwavering work ethic, and lightning-fast pace have attracted the attention of both Liverpool manager Klopp and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

Additionally, 90min claims that Liverpool has “reached out” to Fulham to talk about bringing Robinson in during the next transfer window.

If the Reds choose to pursue their interest, they want to know the terms of the agreement and if the US international will be accessible.

However, Liverpool has an important advantage over rivals in the form of attacking midfielder Fabio Carvalho when it comes to Robinson’s possible recruitment.

The Portugal star was signed by the Reds in July 2022, but his opportunities to break into the Liverpool starting lineup quickly became scarce. The player is 21 years old.

Carvalho agreed to go on loan to RB Leipzig, a Bundesliga team known for nurturing young talent and offering big-game opportunities, during the most recent summer transfer window.

Unfortunately, the playmaker’s wish has not come true, as he has only seldom seen playing time.

Fulham is apparently one among the teams willing to take on Carvalho, who Liverpool is reportedly planning to recall from Leipzig next month.

Returning to Craven Cottage would provide Liverpool the opportunity to give their asset additional Premier League experience while also maybe sweetening the pot to transfer Robinson to Anfield and strengthen the defensive ranks.

Despite agreeing to a five-year contract with Fulham earlier this year after an outstanding few seasons at Craven Cottage, Robinson is reportedly “open” to joining Liverpool. The Reds will now start “working on an agreement” with Marco Silva’s team as a result.

Transfermarkt reports that a bid of about £17 million, which is within Liverpool’s reach, would put Fulham’s determination to the test in January.

After failing to get Chelsea star Levi Colwill during the summer transfer window, the Reds are eager to add a defender before the window closes to ensure that they have choices for the upcoming part of the season. A left-sided center-back is also a top priority.

Why fans of Liverpool can now lawfully obstruct any Super League move

Now that a second European Super League is being considered, supporters of Liverpool can prevent their team from entering.

The European Court of Justice’s decision on Thursday caught many off guard and led the A22 Sports Management company to announce preparations for an additional ESL.

Although this created a commotion, analysts of the CJEU’s conclusions don’t think the decision significantly improves the competitive position of A22.

Like the five other English clubs that were initially interested, Liverpool has since made a statement in which it states: “Liverpool FC’s previous stance on a proposed European Super League is unaffected by yesterday’s ruling by the European Court of Justice.”

“We have ceased to be involved.” We’ll keep up our collaboration with other teams via the ECA and take part in UEFA events.

Because the club incorporated a supporters board into its Articles of Association in 2022, Liverpool fans now possess the power to veto the team’s decision to join an ESL, regardless of the club’s intentions.

This was a response to the club’s unsuccessful attempt to breakaway to an ESL the year before. Fans should now have the last word in these decisions.

There are ten Spirit of Shankly representatives on the sixteen-member board. Joe Blott, the previous Chair of SOS, was involved in it.

“We could stop the ESL happening again,” he said to This Is Anfield, adding that “it gives fans the right to veto when we need to.”

This is because the owners must now obtain permission in order to play home games away from Anfield or join a breakaway league.

Blott clarified, saying that “fan consent is required for any existential issues that affect the football club, such as a ground share, ground move, or move to a breakaway league.”

Furthermore, I believe that safeguarding not only our current interests but also the interests of football fans in the future is the primary component of this.

“The club intends to guarantee that the articles of association genuinely incorporate that degree of involvement.”

This implies that subsequent owners will be bound by the same regulations following the departure of Fenway Sports Group.

Although they can’t stop a European Super League from being suggested or established, Liverpool fans can make sure the Reds aren’t included.

Standing as one of the top four clubs in the world, this may influence prospective members. Naturally, that also doesn’t stop FIFA or UEFA from creating their own tournaments that resemble a mini-Super League

Liverpool’s recall clause for left back could be activated following Kostas Tsimikas’ injury.

Liverpool may try to call up a productive loanee in light of Kostas Tsimikas’s broken collarbone, which has joined Andy Robertson on the long-term injured list.

Tsimikas suffered a fall during Saturday’s 1-1 tie with Arsenal, and it is anticipated that he will be out for at least six weeks.

During the match at Anfield, the Greek player was rushed straight to the hospital. In his press conference following the game, Jurgen Klopp stated that the player had “at least” a broken collarbone.

It comes at a terrible time because Robertson cannot yet resume contact training following surgery in October to address a major shoulder ailment.

Joe Gomez is set to assume the role of starting left-back, with Luke Chambers, 19, and Calum Scanlon, 18, serving as backups.

Though Robertson should be back in training by next month, Liverpool does have another alternative to think about as they prepare for a stretch without both him and Tsimikas.

The club’s contract with Dundee has a clause that permits Wales left-back Owen Beck to be recalled in January, according to the Courier.

Earlier this week, manager Tony Docherty clarified, “We are still in talks right now.” “They and we are both happy.”

Docherty was speaking prior to Tsimikas’s injury, which could complicate matters because Liverpool’s top concern is to make sure they have enough cover.

Although Beck, 21, is currently recovering from a groyne injury, he participated in the entire 90 minutes of last weekend’s 1-0 victory against Ross County and was anticipated to feature in Saturday’s postponed match against Aberdeen.

Docherty says he would just need to “put the reins on him a wee bit,” thus the scenario is one that can be handled.

The manager clarified, “He is that kind of guy that he is all in whether it is a gym session, a 90-minute game, or a training session.

It is evidence of his excellent performance. He gives everything he has to everything he does.

Sometimes you have to take a little bit of the reins when it comes to his training load.

“You need to keep in mind how much football he has played. He has had a fantastic season, but occasionally you have to give him a little more guidance.

In the Scottish Premiership this season, Beck has started all bar one of Dundee’s games. In the League Cup, he has started all four of his games and played the whole ninety minutes in each.

Although it is likely that Liverpool will feel that his growth is best served out on loan, Tsimikas and Robertson’s injuries may force their hand.
