    “It’s what they always do,” says Fabrizio Romano, explaining why Klopp and Liverpool’s match against Atalanta went so badly.

    "It's what they always do," says Fabrizio Romano, explaining why Klopp and Liverpool's match against Atalanta went so badly.

    After a well-earned 3-0 victory over Liverpool on Thursday, Atalanta left Anfield, causing the biggest shock of this season’s Europa League.

    The Reds were one of the favourites to win the trophy this year, but if they want to keep their chances of winning the cup alive, they will need to mount a comeback on par with Barcelona’s.

    During his post-match interviews, Jurgen Klopp publicly exposed his players’ shortcomings and gave credit to the Serie A squad for being the superior team, without offering any explanations for why his team lost.

    Atalanta outclassed Liverpool.

    There was also a noticeable air of astonishment surrounding the well-known ancient field. The crowd was in complete disbelief at what they were witnessing, but perhaps it is hurting a squad that hasn’t played all that poorly in 2023–2024.

    As a cunning veteran of the pitch, Gian Piero Gasperini will have known precisely which formation to use against the Reds well in advance of the match.

    "It's what they always do," says Fabrizio Romano, explaining why Klopp and Liverpool's match against Atalanta went so badly.

    The Italian team was clearly advantaged by Klopp’s decision to rotate his players. Fabrizio Romano also thought that a reorganisation of the pack was essential.

    He told CaughtOffside for his Daily Briefing, “I don’t think Jurgen Klopp underestimated Gasperini, because he knows well that Gian Piero is an excellent coach.”

    He simply rotated because it’s logical that you can’t play every three days with the same players.

    Because Atalanta consistently plays aggressively and offensively in important European games, I anticipated an offensive display from them.

    “They had a great night, and they love the 1 vs 1s all over the pitch. They had some problems recently in Serie A.”

    There is no doubt that Klopp will go down in club history as one of the greatest managers to have ever sat in the Anfield dugout if he can inspire his players to deliver a performance on par with the comebacks from Dortmund and Barcelona.

    His legend would still stand even if Liverpool were eliminated.

    He will leave the club having defined an era during his nine years there, filled with humour, success, humanity, and the desire to be the greatest.

    That’s what he should be remembered for above any outcome.

    Following Man United’s error, Jurgen Klopp sent Jarell Quansah a message.

    During Liverpool’s tie with Manchester United, Quansah committed a terrible mistake.

    Bruno Fernandes scored from long range thanks to an assist from the centre back.

    Young defender is urged by Klopp to “learn from it.”

    Jarell Quansah made a mistake on Sunday that cost Liverpool the lead in their 2-2 draw with Manchester United, but Jurgen Klopp believes Quansah will learn from it.

    After the 21-year-old misdirected Virgil van Dijk’s pass, the ball ended up at Bruno Fernandes’ feet. With a fantastic long-range shot, Fernandes caught Caiomhin Kelleher off guard and tied the score at one.

    After Liverpool had showered down 15 attempts on Andre Onana’s goal, Fernandes’ effort was the home team’s first and represented a turning point in the encounter at Old Trafford.

    Fortunately for Liverpool, they were able to salvage a late point after Kobbie Mainoo had given United the lead. With six minutes left, Mohamed Salah scored from the penalty spot after Harvey Elliott was ruled to have been fouled by Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

    After the game, Klopp spoke, quickly clearing Quansah of any responsibility for his error and emphasising instead how the young player grows from it and improves going forward.

    “As a football player in the Premier League, and playing for Liverpool, I have the bad news it will not be the last mistake in his life, unfortunately,” Klopp stated.

    “Life is like that. He handled it really well, in my opinion, and so did we. However, there was no social media when our heroes made these kinds of errors in the past, so perhaps he’s wise enough to turn that off.

    We want to play build-up, maintain possession of the ball, and play football. While it’s not ideal, bigger errors are made in football. Bruno recognised the chance and seized it, and that is still the case.

    “It just happens; there is no blame or criticism of any kind. The best thing that can happen is that he will learn from it.”

    Liverpool’s failure to gain ground on Arsenal, who defeated Brighton & Hove Albion 3-0 on Saturday, resulted in the two teams drawing level on 71 points, one point clear of leaders Manchester City. Most importantly, Mikel Arteta’s team has three more goals than Klopp’s team and has a better goal differential of nine.

    Liverpool supporters will be intrigued by the "historic" transfer news that Fabrizio Romano shares.

    Kylian Mbappe has notified PSG that he will be leaving the French team at the end of the 2023–24 season.

    The aforementioned news was posted by Fabrizio Romano on his personal X (formerly Twitter) account.

    Could Liverpool be in the mix?

    Now that the striker is about to become a free agency, Real Madrid is anticipated to seize this opportunity.

    Is Liverpool a possible contender?
    The World Cup-winning forward has long been linked to us, but expecting Liverpool to make a deal would be, to put it mildly, ludicrous.

    Being a free agent would spare us from having to pay an asking price that would set a record. On the other hand, Mbappe’s salary demands ought to be sufficient to stymie any potential negotiations.

    According to GOAL, the 25-year-old is reportedly requesting almost £60 million annually.

    When accounting for his playing contract and image rights contract, Mo Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, “conservatively” believes that his client would earn between £46.8 and £53.7m over the next few years (Guardian).

    Therefore, it’s reasonable to conclude that in order to accommodate Mbappe at Anfield, we would need to completely remove our pay cap.

    To be honest, it is simply not going to occur, is it?

    ‘Huge’ transfer kitty from FSG to be received by Liverpool’s new manager

    The transfer budget that Liverpool will provide its next manager is enormous; only one Premier League team could match them.

    The transfer budget that Liverpool will provide its next manager is enormous; only one Premier League team could match them.

    Football Insider has been informed by sources that Liverpool plans to make significant summer window purchases in anticipation of selecting a new director of football and manager.

    The Premier League’s Financial Fair Play regulations and off-field factors including as Jurgen Klopp’s departure are thought to have hindered the Reds’ ability to make significant purchases in January.

    Just 17 permanent moves were completed in the English top division during the mid-season window, with FFP leaving its imprint on most clubs.

    However, Football Insider has been informed by a reliable source that a “big spend” is anticipated as normal in the summer as teams aim to complete their primary business.

    In terms of purchasing power, Man United is expected to challenge Liverpool after the INEOS-backed takeover was revealed last year.

    Although teams like the Reds are likely to be cautious of FFP limitations, a robust summer transfer window is anticipated despite a quiet January.

    Financial wizard Kieran Maguire also revealed to Football Insider on February 6 that Klopp’s successor at Liverpool will have access to a “huge” summer transfer budget.

    Football Insider (January 28) disclosed that the Merseysiders have designated Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso as their top target and are preparing to make a move for him.

    With the addition of Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, and Ryan Gravenberch to their roster last summer, the Reds completely revamped their midfield.

    Despite having played one more game than Man City, who are in second place, Klopp’s team leads the Premier League by two points.

    “I was just informed,” claims Fabrizio Romano, “that Liverpool has made ‘calls’ to players agents

    "I was just informed," claims Fabrizio Romano, "that Liverpool has made 'calls' to players agents

    According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool has gotten in touch with the representatives of a few center-back targets and requested to be “informed” of their circumstances.

    The Italian downplayed the likely possibility of transactions being finalised this month, but earlier this week he said the Reds are “looking at some opportunities” for that member of Jurgen Klopp’s team during the January transfer window.

    In his most recent Daily Briefing for CaughtOffside, the correspondent gave a status check on the happenings at the Anfield giants on Wednesday morning.

    Romano stated: “As was previously announced, Liverpool is looking into possible center-back additions. However, this is not a pressing matter, and it is unlikely to happen in January as Liverpool usually prefers to conduct business in the summer.

    “Although I don’t currently have a firm name, I was just informed that Liverpool has contacted the agents of a few centre backs to inquire about current circumstances; as of right now, there hasn’t been a formal negotiation.” The issue is that it’s difficult to locate elite players during the January transfer window.

    As far as updates go, this is obviously preliminary; at the absolute least, you’d think that all clubs would be throwing out feelers during the January transfer window.

    Under FSG’s stewardship, Liverpool has generally acted sensibly in the market, which has frequently irritated many supporters but may ultimately be the best course of action given the Premier League’s recent crackdown on (most) clubs that violate their Profitability and Sustainability Rules.

    Everyone knows that the Reds don’t sign players just to sign them; instead, they do it when the right player shows up and the chance to sign them for a fair price arises.

    The January transfer window will expire in a little over two weeks, thus LFC has a limited amount of time to bolster Klopp’s roster. However, optimism will not waver until that deadline of 11 p.m. on February 1st is met.

    Pedro Neto is the replacement for Mohamed Salah that Jurgen Klopp prioritises.

    If Jurgen Klopp is unable to secure some of his other desired targets, Pedro Neto is the perfect substitute for Mohamed Salah.

    Fichajes claims that Pedro Neto might move up Jurgen Klopp’s priority list in order to take Mohamed Salah’s spot. Many teams, including Arsenal, are interested in signing the Wolves winger, but Liverpool’s arrival into the race may change things up.

    Pedro Neto is what Jurgen Klopp wants.
    Given that Pedro Neto is still performing at the greatest level, big clubs may start selecting him. This is especially the case for Wolves’ winger. Despite having lost a portion of the season due to a hamstring issue, his figures indicate that he is still producing well.

    Liverpool may be actively considering a number of options to replace Mohamed Salah in the summer, which could be the reason for their interest in Neto. Depending on the system, the Portuguese winger may play on either flank and adds versatility to the team.

    According to the article, Klopp believes Kylian Mbappe is the finest option to replace Mohamed Salah, which is why Liverpool is interested in him. However, there are serious questions over whether he would resist a transfer to Real Madrid, and Klopp would prefer Neto if the Frenchman did not end up at Anfield.

    The 24-year-old target for Arsenal may get ready for a significant move, but it might not occur until the summer. The Gunners, who abandoned their plans to visit Neto in January, are already preparing an approach. The two biggest teams in the Premier League may compete for the Portuguese winger now that Liverpool is in the running.

    Arsenal are also keen on Neto

    Pedro Neto is the replacement for Mohamed Salah that Jurgen Klopp prioritises.

    The 24-year-old winger has long been coveted by Arsenal; Mikel Arteta is said to have made an attempt to sign him in the past. Neto might be a huge addition for the Gunners next summer, as they are still in need of a top-draw forward.

    Liverpool is considering him as well, although they have identified a number of other players as Salah’s best alternatives. Saudi Arabia is still interested in the Egyptian, and Al-Hilal is the newest team to enter the contest.

    Knowing that Wolves would demand a hefty price, Neto will have no shortage of suitors. Despite the fact that the transfer market has previously seen swift changes, the 24-year-old will not have the opportunity to switch teams in January as Gary O’Neil wants him to stay in the team for the whole of the season.

    Although Al Ettifaq of the Saudi Pro League has been linked to Liverpool defender Joe Gomez, Fabrizio Romano seems to think the Reds don’t want to let go of him.

    Gomez was one of several names brought up by Al Ettifaq and their manager Steven Gerrard in a recent meeting, along with fellow Liverpool defender Joel Matip, as Ben Jacobs had previously reported on CaughtOffside.

    Romano has since updated CaughtOffside exclusively in his Daily Briefing column, stating that Liverpool’s position is that Gomez is not for sale and that the 26-year-old is expected to remain at Anfield.

    Even if he won’t be leaving LFC this month, Matip might be someone to monitor for the finish of the season, according to Romano.

    Romano wrote, “Despite talk of a possible move to Al Ettifaq, Joel Matip won’t leave Liverpool now,” in reference to these players in his most recent piece. It might be different in the summer, and he might be drawn to Saudi attention. Additionally, I don’t see Joe Gomez going; he’s staying.

    Matip has served Liverpool well, but after the end of the current campaign, it may be time for him to go on. Gomez, on the other hand, is undoubtedly still a valued member of Jurgen Klopp’s squad.

    Liverpool is prepared to challenge Manchester United, In the race to replace Mo Salah.

    In the race for Crystal Palace forward Michael Olise, Liverpool is prepared to challenge Manchester United. The Reds have somethingIn the race for Crystal Palace forward Michael Olise, Liverpool is prepared to challenge Manchester United. The Reds have something planned.

    This is from Transfers in Football. According to them, Liverpool is now “at the table” for Michael Olise, the star of Crystal Palace.

    Over the past few weeks, Manchester United has been strongly linked to Olise, but it appears they are not the only ones. The player is desired by Liverpool as well, and they see him as Mohamed Salah’s eventual replacement.

    After all, that is a significant issue at the club. Liverpool will eventually need a successor for the Egyptian, especially if reports that he is leaving for Saudi Arabia are true. Currently, Liverpool does not have one.

    As far as replacements go, Olise would be about as fantastic as it gets. However, he won’t be inexpensive.

    Even though Palace won’t want to sell, especially this month, they will be under growing pressure. Not to add that United and Liverpool’s combined interest will just drive up the cost.

    But ultimately, Salah’s replacement won’t be inexpensive. Liverpool will simply have to put up with that.

    Liverpool is rumoured to be interested in Crysencio Summerville of Leeds United. Or would that be in place of Olise? or additionally? Or maybe just as the Palace star’s backup.

    However, it seems like the Reds are considering their right side of the future. Summerville and Olise would probably cost far more and have very different degrees of experience. Olise would most likely be preferred by Liverpool.

    It will be challenging, though, because United will fight them for him. Fans can probably rule out a January transfer as well.

    Instead, Olise will be someone to keep an eye on throughout the summer and might end up being a very interesting addition to Liverpool

  • The truth about Goncalo Inacio’s move to Liverpool surfaces following the Reds’ “£26 million bid.”

    The truth about Goncalo Inacio’s move to Liverpool surfaces following the Reds’ “£26 million bid.”

    The truth about Goncalo Inacio's move to Liverpool surfaces following the Reds' "£26 million bid."This month, Liverpool is rumoured to have made an initial proposal of £26 million for Sporting centre defender Goncalo Inacio.

    Despite reports to the contrary, Liverpool is not in “concrete” talks to sign Sporting’s Goncalo Inacio. According to reports from Portugal, Liverpool offered the centre back somewhere about £26 million.

    One of Europe’s top young centre defenders, Inacio, 22, has been a constant for Liga Portugal leaders Sporting this year. Additionally, during the summer, he was connected to Liverpool as they looked to add a new left-sided center-half.

    Although Levi Colwill signed a new contract at Stamford Bridge, the Reds attempted to acquire him from Chelsea. And Liverpool decided against going after a substitute, even though they had connections to players like Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace, Inacio, and Micky van de Ven, who is currently at Tottenham.

    Although Levi Colwill signed a new contract at Stamford Bridge, the Reds attempted to acquire him from Chelsea. And Liverpool decided against going after a substitute, even though they had connections to players like Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace, Inacio, and Micky van de Ven, who is currently at Tottenham.

    It has recently been suggested that Inacio could be signed during the January transfer window. According to Jorge das Transferencias, a £26 million offer has been made for the Portugal international, whose contract contains an almost £52 million release clause.

    At the Jose Alvalade Stadium, Sporting Academy product Inacio just extended his contract until 2027 in August, saying, “I am very happy to stay here.” Furthermore, Fabrizio Romano has now acknowledged that reports that Liverpool has made a formal approach to Sporting are exaggerated.

    The truth about Goncalo Inacio's move to Liverpool surfaces following the Reds' "£26 million bid."

    On Kick, he clarified, saying, “Goncalo Inacio to Liverpool? This Inacio and Liverpool tale has been ours for the past three or four years. We hear rumours that Liverpool and Inacio are close to signing, but Inacio’s agent is generally the one making the connections.

    “At the moment I’m not aware of a change, he’s a player they have scouted for a long time, but it’s not something concrete.” It seems that the Merseyside club does not have many plans for January business. They have been associated for a while with Andre Trindade of Fluminense, a midfield player, but they are unlikely to make an official move to pursue the Brazilian.

    That is not to say that Liverpool won’t make progress in this area this month. In the last two January transfer windows, they have acquired Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo, demonstrating their quick interest in the pair in order to keep them from signing with rivals Tottenham and United.

    However, Klopp has already downplayed the significance of adding a centre back. “Tell me a club that wants to sell a top-tier center-half that could play for Liverpool,” he exclaimed. It was never a paradise where you could bring in a top-tier center-half while the other was recovering from injury.

    “Other clubs don’t put them under the Christmas tree for us and say, ‘Take it and use it as long as you need it’.” Despite the fact that Klopp’s squad is leading the Premier League standings, club great Jamie Carragher would prefer to see a defender added this month.

    That’s in addition to left-backs Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas being sidelined and Joel Matip’s season being ended by injury. “Maybe I need to start giving this team more credit and respect, but I still feel like Manchester City has the edge and are the current favourites for the title,” Carragher stated on Sky Sports.

    “I think on the back of the two injuries to the left-backs and Joel Matip being out for the season, I think the position they find themselves in is an opportunity they can’t waste, and I do feel Liverpool have to bring a defender to the team in January.”

    Although Fabio Carvalho returned early from his loan term at RB Leipzig, Fabrizio Romano claims that Carvalho is coveted by Southampton

    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.

    Although Fabio Carvalho returned early from his loan term at RB Leipzig, Fabrizio Romano claims that Carvalho is coveted by Southampton

    “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.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.

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

    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.

    An update on Liverpool’s search for a new center-back has been provided by Fabrizio Romano, who disclosed that while both players are being considered, no firm moves have been made to sign either.

    In January, Liverpool might be looking to add a new central defender. Even though Jurgen Klopp has stated that the Reds won’t aim to add defensive reinforcements during the winter, the Anfield team will keep an eye on the market and try to seize any openings that present themselves.

    Given Jarell Quansah’s rise this season and the fact that Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams can be called up from their loans in Scotland, there isn’t a pressing need to sign a new center-back, but Joel Matip’s ACL injury does make it something to think about. Furthermore, as a possible long-term replacement for Virgil van Dijk, the Reds were already hoping to sign a young, left-footed centre back in the summer.

    Nothing finally came of it back then, but things might be different in 2024. Goncalo Inacio of Sporting CP and versatile youngster Piero Hincapie of Bayer Leverkusen, who seems like a perfect fit for Klopp’s style, have been strongly linked to Liverpool. Both players are very much on the Reds’ short list of 2024 targets, as Fabrizio Romano has recently confirmed.

    What was said by Romano?

    “Liverpool are another club looking at center-backs, but so far no contacts have taken place with Bayer Leverkusen for Piero Hincapie,” the transfer analyst claimed in an interview with CaughtOffside.

    “Hincapie has been strongly linked with Liverpool and other top clubs as he’s looked like a superb young talent for some time now, and he’s also not playing as often as he might have expected, so it’s normal to see new stories about the player.”

    “Goncalo Inacio has been linked to several teams, including Liverpool, but his €60 million release clause with Sporting must be paid in order to sign him, and no one has approached Sporting as of yet.”

    “We’ll see if that changes soon, but as of right now, neither Hincapie nor Inacio have made any progress for Liverpool.” It should be noted that Hincapie is not going to be cheap either, as he supposedly has a release clause for €70 million, which is the same amount Liverpool paid for Dominik Szoboszlai in the summer.

    Scouts ‘fly out to witness’ the £7 million winger in action as Liverpool eye a January deal.

    Scouts 'fly out to witness' the £7 million winger in action as Liverpool eye a January deal.When Jurgen Klopp’s scouts go to work in January, Liverpool has their sights set on a cheap addition.

    Momodou Sonko, a winger for BK Hacken, is apparently a target for Liverpool, but Barcelona is also vying for his services. The adolescent is now regarded as one of the best young players in the Allsvenskan and is expected to have a successful future, maybe in the Premier League.

    The Reds allegedly dispatched scouts to monitor Sonko on Thursday when his team fell 2-1 on the road to Azerbaijani side Qarabag in the Europa League, according to Swedish publication Expressen. Only three goals were scored by Hacken in their six European matches, but one of those goals came from Sonko, who has been their best player thus far.

    The Reds allegedly dispatched scouts to monitor Sonko on Thursday when his team fell 2-1 on the road to Azerbaijani side Qarabag in the Europa League, according to Swedish publication Expressen. Only three goals were scored by Hacken in their six European matches, but one of those goals came from Sonko, who has been their best player thus far.

    Although Liverpool hasn’t shown their interest in him by putting up a formal offer, Hacken reportedly values him at £7 million, so a January transfer would not break the bank. However, because of his 10 goals and five assists in all competitions this season, Barcelona and RB Leipzig are also considering the 18-year-old.

    Sonko played 82 minutes in the match that Liverpool saw, and the Merseyside club was interested enough to plan to scout him during a training session earlier in the year for the Swedish club.

    Scouts 'fly out to witness' the £7 million winger in action as Liverpool eye a January deal.

    He could give Liverpool a viable option as their star player, Mohamed Salah, will be away with Egypt for most of January playing in the Africa Cup of Nations. He was recently called up to the Swedish national squad.

    Salah’s long-term future at Anfield is still up in the air because Saudi Arabia is still interested. As the teenager is more likely to be seen as a player for the future than as someone who can have an immediate effect, Sonko may be one method Liverpool is protecting their future.

    The Reds could be able to spend more money elsewhere if they see Sonko as the forward they need to recruit. After all, they saved a lot of money by buying Sonko for £7 million rather than going big for a more well-known player.

    Joel Matip suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury that will keep him out of action for the rest of the season. This highlights the need for Liverpool to bolster their defence, as Virgil van Dijk is now joined in the middle of the defence by Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez, and Jarell Quansah, according to Jurgen Klopp.

    Wataru Endo is the only recognised holding midfielder for the team, therefore Alexis Mac Allister has been forced to play a deeper role. It’s possible that the goal is to add another player to the position in January or the summer after that.

    Ryan Gravenberch has high regard for rumored Liverpool transfer target Jamal Musiala

    Before Liverpool were linked with a move for Jamal Musiala, Ryan Gravenberch hailed the Bayern Munich and Germany talent as the best young player he has ever played with and predicted him for future Ballon d’or success.
    ‘Gold.

    Musiala is reportedly unhappy with his situation under Thomas Tuchel at Bayern – he has not had a permanent place in the starting XI so far this season.

    It is therefore assumed that contract negotiations on a contract extension beyond 2026 have stalled and that Liverpool and Jürgen Klopp are in the starting blocks as long-time admirers.

    Gravenberch also experienced a similar problem at Allianz, albeit over a shorter period.
    He signed for Ajax in the summer of last year, got just three starts in the Bundesliga and found his way to Liverpool in a deadline transfer worth 40 million of pounds sterling last month.
    But even though he has only been living, training and playing in Germany for just over twelve months, his former teammate clearly leaves a lasting impression on the Dutchman.

    Before Liverpool was linked, Ryan Gravenberch already made a huge prediction about Jamal Musiala.

    Responding to fans on the Reds subreddit just under three weeks ago, Gravenberch was asked: “[Who is] the most talented young man you’ve played with?”

    ”I would opt for Jamal Musiala.
    Jamal does crazy things in training and even in games.
    He is very good for his age.
    I choose Jamal Musiala,” a smile lit up on his face as Gravenberch responded.

    Liverpool’s summer recruit was subsequently asked whether the German international could claim football’s most prestigious individual award – the Ballon d’Or.

    “I think he can win a Ballon d’Or once in his life,” Gravenberch replied confidently.
    “He will continue to improve and get better, that’s likely.
    He’s really good with his crazy dribbling.”

    Gravenberch’s good form since signing for the Reds not only testifies to the candidate’s qualification for the 2023 Golden Boy Award, but also helps pay tribute to the club and Klopp can serve as a means to stimulate Bayern to entice younger people from gather. at Anfield on the sidelines

    Fabrizio Romano provides an update on the Qatari billionaire urged to buy Liverpool

    Thanks to sources close to Sheikh Jassim, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the Qatari billionaire’s decision to end talks over Manchester United’s ownership is “100% guaranteed.”

    The Italian writer revealed the most recent.

    X provided an update on the subject on Tuesday afternoon, amid rumors that the chairman of Qatar Islamic Bank may now target Liverpool, the Red Devils’ league rivals.

     

    Mike Keegan stated on the It’s All Kicking Off podcast that “the Qataris set aside about $8bn [£6.57bn] for the United project” (via the Daily Mail).

    The money is ready and waiting for them, burning a hole in their wallets.
    Imagine the story that would unfold if they were to purchase Liverpool.

    They are extremely, extremely disappointed and furious at how this has turned out, based on what I have been told.

    How better to answer than to enlist the help of United’s fiercest rivals from down the road and use all the money you were going to give Manchester United to force them to pay for their decision to not sell to you?

    One could argue that such an event is unlikely to occur, even if the Qatari, whose family’s total wealth is estimated to be around $275 billion, is a true Manchester United fan (although this has not yet been confirmed).

    In regards to Liverpool, we would be astounded if John W. Henry and FSG were willing to approve the club’s sale to someone of this calibre.

    When they were examining potential proposals, Fenway made it abundantly clear that any new custodian would need to uphold our ideals.

    It is difficult to envision a scenario in which we would accept a bid from Sheikh Jassim anytime soon given this and the fact that minority funding has been successfully obtained from Dynasty Equity.

    One of Liverpool’s top summer targets for next year is made public

    The ideal young forward has been identified by Liverpool, who want to bolster their lineup for next summer.

    Over the past 12 months, Jurgen Klopp’s team has achieved an amazing rebuild by investing in youth and offloading experienced players.

    The club lost Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, and Roberto Firmino in the summer as they moved to Saudi Arabia.

    After Wataru Endo, Dominic Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, and Alexis Mac Allister joined the team last summer, the midfield in particular received the most attention.

    The Reds have been connected to a number of possible replacements as a result of reports that Mo Salah may eventually depart for Saudi Arabia.

    Johan Bakayoko is one of Klopp’s top priorities for his team to sign next year, the Liverpool Echo reports.

    The PSV winger made an impression in the previous season and was on the verge of joining Brentford in the summer, but he turned it down to remain in the Eredivisie.

    Bakayoko, who is only 20 years old, would be a great fit for this young Liverpool team and would be a true steal at an estimated £20 million.

    The Merseyside team may make a move for a midfielder or defender as early as the January transfer window, according to rumours

  • Fabrizio Romano drops information about West Ham player Jarrod Bowen, who is a transfer target for Liverpool.

    Fabrizio Romano drops information about West Ham player Jarrod Bowen, who is a transfer target for Liverpool.

    Jarrod Bowen’s new West Ham contract

    On Twitter, Fabrizio Romano asserted that West Ham United and Liverpool transfer target Jarrod Bowen had agreed to terms of a new contract.

    The 25-year-old has long been mentioned as a potential Mohamed Salah replacement at Liverpool.

    After those well-known Saudi connections in the summer, it’s more likely that those doors will knock again, which just raises the likelihood that the Egypt star will head for the exit.

    Regardless, Jarrod Bowen’s name has frequently appeared on Liverpool’s transfer radar.
    Most recently, talkSPORT reported that Merseysiders and Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United were “on alert” due to the fact that his contract negotiations were stalling.

    Well, Fabrizio Romano put that to rest on Twitter on Saturday night by claiming Jarrod Bowen’s new long-term contract with the Hammers is “all done” — something that will no doubt please actor and West Ham supporter Danny Dyer.

    He described as “unbelievable” the England international who is dating his daughter.

    Liverpool will now have to look elsewhere if the worst case scenario occurs and Mohamed Salah departs.

    The new West Ham contract for Jarrod Bowen.

    Jarrod Bowen and West Ham have reached an “EXCLUSIVE” long-term agreement, according to Romano.
    “It’s all done, one more fantastic piece of news for the WHUFC winger following the England NT call.

    Bowen wanted to remain a crucial component of the project.
    Jarrod approved of the last request.

    Life after Salah for Liverpool

    Salah would prefer to finish his career wearing the Liverpool colors, if it were up to the fans at Anfield.

    The concern is that the 31-year-old will depart sooner rather than later given the money that is currently in Saudi Arabia and the project they are building.

    While illustrious players like Roberto Firmino, Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, and Sadio Mane have moved on.

    Salah’s potential departure will undoubtedly anger the fans the most because, as of right now, he could legitimately claim that he belongs in Liverpool’s greatest-ever XI.

    Salah hopes to lead this Liverpool 2.0 to another adventure of winning the major trophies, but none of that has occurred as of yet.

    Liverpool is allegedly interested in a Brazilian defender.

    Michail Antonio declares Liverpool to have "won"  As he speaks out about his embarrassing pre-match remarks

    Still looking for a defender is the Reds.With a brand-new midfield but no additional defenders, Liverpool closed the summer transfer window with a bang.
    It’s obvious that the center-back position needs to be filled with fresh talent.
    The injury table is a point of contention for 32-year-old captain Virgil van Dijk’s teammates Ibrahima Konaté and Jol Matip like it’s the final musical chair.

    Although Liverpool hasn’t historically done much business in the winter, they have been known to make exceptions if the need is great enough or the player is talented enough.
    The ideal illustration of that would be van Dijk himself, with whom the Reds finally agreed to a contract in January 2018.

    The Brazilian player Lucas Beraldo is one that Klopp and company are reportedly considering right now to fill the need in defense.
    Currently, Beraldo represents Sao Paulo in his native Brazil.

    The English and European teams are reportedly interested in him, according to the Brazilian media.

    In addition to the Reds, Wolves and Newcastle United are also rumored to be contenders, and teams like Porto, Benfica, and Monaco are also being mentioned. The center back, who is 19 years old and also plays for Brazil’s U20 team, made his team debut last year.

    He wouldn’t be the player vying for position next to van Dijk if he did make it to Merseyside.
    Up until Klopp saw evidence of his abilities, he would hold down at least fourth place in the pecking order.

    He might have been a good long-term project and a nice fit for the team, according to the scouting reports.

    It’s possible, but it’s more likely that they’re just spreading false information and will soon disappear from the map.
