Liverpool could spend Mohamed Salah’s money on five players, including Burnley target

Liverpool have insisted Mohamed Salah is not for sale this summer, but it remains to be seen if they can resist the Saudi money.

Liverpool could be on a big spending spree during the rest of the summer transfer window if they decide to part ways with Mohamed Salah. The striker has attracted a lot of interest from Saudi club Al Ittihad.

Salah is heavily linked with the Middle East move despite signing a contract extension at Anfield last year. The former Chelsea forward’s reunion with former teammates Jordan Henderson and Fabinho so late in the transfer window would be a blow to Liverpool’s hopes this season, but they would receive a big cash injection in return. Express Sport is looking for five stars to bet with the funds found, both to reinforce the midfield and to replace the winger…

Cheick Doucoure

Crystal Palace player Cheick Doucoure was named on the midfield target list earlier this summer, and interest in the Malian international is likely to rekindle. The 23-year-old has been a solid link in the Eagles squad since his arrival from Lens and could be an ideal candidate to play in Jurgen Klopp’s No6 and protect his defence.

Ryan Gravenberch

Manchester United and Liverpool are both in the running to sign Ryan Gravenberch, and there appears to be a willingness from Bayern Munich to part ways with the midfielder. The Dutch international was widely regarded as one of the best talents in Europe until his departure to the Allianz Arena, and a move to Anfield could help his recovery.

João Palhinha

Fulham put a significant price on Joao Palhinha earlier this summer after interest in the Portuguese international started to build. A pre-season injury has cut short many appearances and now could be the perfect time for Liverpool to pounce as they have Wataru Endo in charge in the meantime.

Johan Bakayako

Replacing Salah is a tall order for any player, but the potential shown by Johan Bakayako might suggest he is capable of it. The 20-year-old has shone for PSV over the past 12 months. The Belgium international has reportedly already been selected as a potential signing – provided other interested clubs like Burnley don’t come forward.

Federico Chiesa

Liverpool are long-time admirers of Juventus’ Federico Chiesa and a new transfer injection could mean they finally make a bid for the Italy international. The 25-year-old also fits the mold of a Reds striker as he can play anywhere on the front line, although given his importance to Massimiliano Allegri’s side Liverpool will have to pay a premium for the move. ex-Fiorentina star.

Liverpool step in to sign £30million and £60million players – Report

If media reports are to be believed, Liverpool are in talks with not one but two midfielders to strengthen their squad.

The Reds have already bought three midfielders in the form of Mac Allister, Szoboszlai and Endo, but have sacked five, so the department will need to be strengthened further this summer.

In such a scenario, Liverpool have signed Dutch international Ryan Gravenberch and Malian international Cheick Doucoure.

According to The Mail, the Merseysiders have had productive talks to attract Gravenberch, who is looking to play more after warming up on the bench with Bayern Munich last season.

The 21-year-old can play effectively in the number 6 and number 8 and has the qualities to finally replace compatriot Gini Wijnaldum at Anfield. As reported by the German media (Bild), the Bavarians would be willing to do business with the Anfield club if they were willing to offer 30 million pounds for the ex-Ajax boy.

After starting just three games in the Bundesliga last season, he has risen from third to fourth choice midfielder this season following the arrival of Konrad Laimer.

On the other hand, Simon Jones says Liverpool have also moved and held talks to sign Doucouré from Crystal Palace.

The African star is a natural defensive midfielder, who likes to tackle and break up the game. He had a fantastic debut season in England last season but it will cost a lot. According to a recent report from The Independent, an offer worth £60m could be needed to sign the Eagles player.

Who do you think Jurgen Klopp should sign to improve the situation in the middle of the park?

The news about LAVIA that a journalist has revealed is good news for Liverpool supporters.

Romeo Lavia’s price tag of £50 million is now what Southampton is expecting Liverpool to match.

According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, that is the case.

Earlier this week, Southampton reportedly turned down Liverpool’s £45 million bid for Romeo Lavia.

Since then, though, Tavolieri has asserted that Southampton thinks the Reds will eventually raise their offer by an additional £5 million to satisfy their demand.

The journalist wrote on Twitter, “Been told Southampton FC think now that Liverpool FC will pay the £5m lacking for making the deal of Romeo Lavia after the £45m [proposal]] rejected on Monday.

Romeo Lavia deal has cost Liverpool a lot of time.

The fact that Southampton wanted £50 million for Lavia has been fairly obvious for a while. Furthermore, Liverpool ought to have just made the £50 million offer to close the deal if they were prepared to make the £45 million bid for the Belgian, which has been demonstrated to be the case.

Due to Jurgen Klopp’s lack of options in midfield, they face Chelsea this Sunday at Stamford Bridge, which will be a challenging match.

In the end, it’s impossible to escape the impression that the Reds could have handled this situation better. The most crucial thing, however, is that they succeed in getting Lavia through the door, which they appear to have a good chance of doing.

Liverpool needs to add another midfielder because they have lost a lot of them this summer, including Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, who both recently left Anfield.

It appears that the top of the Premier League will see another competitive season with so many high-caliber teams in England at the moment.

Klopp’s team has a good chance of finishing in the top four and qualifying for Europe’s elite competition, though, if they can solve their midfield problem and Mohamed Salah keeps doing what he’s doing.

Report: £43 million star rejects Newcastle and would take Liverpool job.

Italia star Federico Chiesa’s future at Juventus is uncertain, and Liverpool has been mentioned as a possible destination this summer.

We previously reported on a rumor that the Reds are interested in luring the Italian international away from the Bianconeri (via La Gazzetta Dello Sport).

Several Premier League teams have made Chiesa offers, but he has so far rejected them all, according to today’s edition of Corriere dello Sport (news image provided below).

The Rome-based media outlet reports that clubs like Newcastle and Aston Villa offered the Italian international the chance to relocate to England.

Al Hilal and Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia also offered the playmaker, 25, opportunities, but none of them persuaded him.

According to CdS, Chiesa prefers Liverpool and would accept a move there, but the Merseysiders have not yet made an effort to secure his services.

The attacking star currently prefers to remain with Juventus. Due to severe financial difficulties, The Old Lady would like to sell the former Viola star for a price of 50 million euros (£43 million).

The manager, Max Allegri, would prefer to use him in the strike-force in a 3-5-2 system, though, if he does decide to remain in Turin.

Romelu Lukaku, a former Chelsea and Inter Milan forward, is wanted by the Italian manager so that he can team him up front with Federico Chiesa.

Liverpool added attackers like Gakpo, Nunez, and Diaz in the previous three transfer windows, so they are not required to spend additional funds to bolster the offense.

Jürgen Klopp’s transfer window is planned out perfectly as the $55 million man “wants” to move to Liverpool.

A player valued at $55 million has expressed a desire to move to Anfield, so Liverpool should aim to complete two deals to give Jürgen Klopp the perfect transfer window.

The transfer window seems to have been divided in half, as if this is the calm before the storm. After Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister, Liverpool announced the signing of Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig three weeks ago. Since then, the incoming front has been relatively quiet.

But now Liverpool has been propelled into action, accepting a Fabinho offer that was too good to pass up and granting Jordan Henderson’s wish to join him in the Saudi Pro League.

To fill the void left by Henderson, the Reds will only need to sign a new number six, and there is undoubtedly a case to be made that they will also need a new number eight.

In addition, it’s important to keep in mind that another center-back is also necessary, one who can serve as dependable backup for the time being and eventually transition into a starting position.

It may be unrealistic to anticipate that Liverpool will complete all of its outstanding tasks in the three weeks prior to the season opener against Chelsea, but it certainly seems as though things are about to pick up speed.

Roméo Lavia and Levi Colwill are wanted by Liverpool.

By bringing in Chelsea’s Levi Colwill and Southampton’s Roméo Lavia, Liverpool can complete the “perfect” transfer window, according to James Martin.

The Premier League’s homegrown quota could result in squad size restrictions for the Reds, but neither player would need to be registered because of their age.

They would eventually both meet the requirements for homegrown status, relieving the headache in the long run and providing a much-needed boost of quality in the short run. The whole story is available to read here.

Federico Chiesa desires a move to Liverpool.
According to journalist Marco Guidi of Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus forward Federico Chiesa prefers Liverpool to other Premier League suitors Manchester United and Newcastle.

Chiesa, whose market value is $55 million ($43 million/€50 million), is’more inclined’ to sign with Liverpool or Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich, according to Corriere dello Sport.

Prior to signing Moussa Diaby from Bayer Leverkusen, Aston Villa was also mentioned, but Chiesa had no interest in joining Unai Emery’s team and was holding out for a more illustrious organization.

Given its current priorities and the Italian’s history of injuries, James Findlater has urged Liverpool to forgo any move. As we compile the most recent speculative material, you can read more here.

With the announcement of Liverpool’s exit, Jurgen Klopp sends a message to Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been one of the Premier League’s most successful managers in recent years, but last year his future was in doubt.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed he will stay in the Premier League until his contract at Anfield expires in 2026.

The German has been active on Merseyside since 2015 and led the club to success for years. In recent years, the Reds have been one of the powerhouses of England and Europe, winning the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

Last season was Klopp’s toughest season as Premier League manager, with his side finishing fifth in the table after ten shaky months.

This summer, he was linked with a possible return to Germany as the national team’s new head coach. Current boss Hansi Flick is currently under intense pressure after a run of four wins in his last 16 games and Klopp has been touted as a possible successor.

However, the Liverpool manager excluded himself from participating in Flick’s replacement. “The role of national coach is and would be a great honour, there’s no doubt about that,” he said.

“The issue standing in the way of the whole thing is my loyalty. I can’t leave Liverpool now and say I’m going to take over Germany for a short while.” It doesn’t work and the demand isn’t even there.

“If I’m supposed to at some point (lead Germany) then I have to be available and I’m not currently. I have a responsibility to the club,” he added during a Fischer group of companies roundtable.

“Deep down, it’s an interesting job. But I don’t know yet if I’ll do something completely different after leaving Liverpool. I want to keep my options open.

Klopp’s intention to stay in the Premier League until 2026 doesn’t bode well for the rest of the Premier League. Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham have all fallen victim to Klopp’s Liverpool since his arrival.

Under the German, Liverpool are expected to continue their presence as one of England’s elite players. After a difficult year, many expect the Reds to challenge Manchester City for the title in May.

Serie A superstar ‘open’ to move to Liverpool

According to reports from Italy, Juventus star Federico Chiesa is open to a move to Premier League giants Liverpool.

The 25-year-old made just 21 appearances in the series last year, including only six since the start. This was partly due to seven separate injury issues, but his playing time was largely limited by Massimiliano Allegri’s preferred system.

Moreover, Chiesa reportedly had a strained relationship with Juve manager Allegri which led to him looking for a summer move.

As FootballTransfers exclusively revealed in early July, Juventus are offering Chiesa to a number of top clubs to boost their funds.

Sources have told FootballTransfers that the striker is on the hunt for a Premier League club as he is doubtful in Turin, but the money his current club are asking for – around €60m – will make that problematic.

However, according to the Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, Liverpool have rekindled their interest in Chiesa, after being linked to the Italian in 2021. Furthermore, the Euro 2020 star would be open to a move to Anfield if the Reds make a move.
According to the report.

Chiesa to Liverpool?

Chiesa would become Jurgen Klopp’s third summer signing after signing deals for Brighton & Hove Albion’s Alexis Mac Allister and RB Leipzig’s Dominik Szobolszlai, if Liverpool are serious about pursuing him.

The Reds have also been linked with Southampton and Belgian star Romeo Lavia, amid interest in both Fabinho and Jordan Henderson from Saudi Arabia. Fabinho is the subject of a €46.6m (£40m) offer from Al-Ittihad, who have already signed Karim Benzema from Real Madrid, N’Golo Kante from Chelsea and Jota from Celtic this summer.

On the other hand, Henderson has been offered a mouth-watering salary of €815,000 (£700,000) a week to join Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq, although the Saudi Pro League side are yet to meet Liverpool’s asking price for the England national team.

It will be extremely difficult for Liverpool to sign a £40 million player right now, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Levi Colwill will be difficult for Liverpool to sign this summer.

According to Fabrizio Romano, who provided an update on the defender in a post on The Residency App.

As you might expect, the journalist was deluged with inquiries about Liverpool and their interest in Colwill while moderating a Q&A session with fans on the app.

The young defender has been the subject of reports from all over the week that the Reds are interested in signing him, but the journalist claims that Chelsea has made it very clear to the Merseyside club that the player is not for sale.

In fact, Romano claims that despite the Reds’ admiration for the player, it will be difficult to complete this deal because Chelsea have been very clear with them about the fact that he is not for sale.

Not available to purchase.

Romano gave an update regarding the £40 million man.

Liverpool likes Levi, I’ve said that a lot, but Chelsea are very clear: not for sale,” wrote Romano.

Not certain.

Colwill is not up for sale this summer, as Chelsea have made clear, but we can’t help but feel that this situation isn’t as cut and dried as it seems.

The defender’s contract at Stamford Bridge is about to expire, so if he decides to leave west London, the Blues may be forced to sell the center-half.

Colwill may end up havinghis head turned given the interest from teams like Liverpool, but as of yet, there hasn’t been any indication that the player actually wants to leave.

‘Break the bank’ – Liverpool advice to sign £52 million Newcastle United ‘target’

Liverpool are linked with a summer transfer of Federico Chiesa from Juventus.

Glen Johnson believes Liverpool should opt for Federico Chiesa.
The Reds have signed two players so far in the summer transfer window, spending £95million on Alex Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlali – from Brighton and RB Leipzig respectively.

But Jurgen Klopp could expand his midfield further – especially if Thiago Alcantara actually leaves.

Southampton’s Romeo Lavia is heavily associated. However, Juventus striker Chiesa is also said to be on Liverpool’s radar. The 25-year-old helped Italy win the Euro 2020 title while registering four goals and six assists in 33 appearances for Juve last season.

Newcastle United are said to be among the clubs interested in Chiesa and a £52million price tag has been mooted.

And while the Reds are well-equipped in attacking terms, Johnson – who spent six years at Anfield between 2009 and 2015 – thinks it would be wise for Liverpool to move if Chiesa were available at the right price.

Speaking to Betfred, the former right-back said: “He’s a good player who plays for a big club and has had success at international level.

Not only is he part of the squad but he delivers when he is needed and I think it could be a very sensible deal for Liverpool if they can sign him, if they don’t have to break the bank for him.

“I think he is a player who would improve the Liverpool squad and if they can sign him for a reasonable fee then that is a move I would really like to see happen.”

Liverpool is ready to offer £77million and is confident they’ll secure signing – Report

Liverpool have been chasing Uruguayan international and Real Madrid star Federico Valverde for some time, and this time they believe the signing can be completed.

According to a Spanish source, Nacional, the South American midfielder was tempted to leave the Bernabeu when the Reds moved in with an offer last summer.

A fee of €80m was offered by the Merseysiders, but chairman Florentino Perez chose to decline it.
Now Liverpool have prepared an offer worth 90 million euros (£77 million) and they are confident of finally signing Valverde.

According to the Catalan outlet, the Anfield club believe Los Blancos will accept the £77m offer and if it is rejected again, they are willing to pay even more.

Valverde only earns a salary of €4m per season and certainly deserves a raise after helping Real Madrid win every title.

However, the Spanish giants spent a lot of money to lure Bellingham and now have a crowded midfield department.

Moreover, they are even after Kylian Mbappé and need to raise funds to poach the French international from Paris Saint-Germain. So there are doubts over Valverde’s future.

Liverpool have already spent around £95million bringing in the likes of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai to bolster their midfield department.

Do you think Klopp will have to spend a large sum to sign the versatile Real Madrid superstar?

Two of Saudi Arabia’s biggest clubs in talk with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah over transfer

Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah is attracting interest from Saudi Arabia as two of the country’s biggest clubs have been in contact with the Egyptian international about a potential move.

The 31-year-old is a hugely popular figure in the Arab world and it would be great for Saudi Arabia to lure the winger into their league this summer amongst the big names they have already signed.

According to Rudy Galetti, both Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal are looking to sign Salah and have already made contact about a transfer.

The journalist told GIVEMESPORT about Saudi Arabia’s interest in the Liverpool star: “He has definitely attracted the attention of Saudi clubs.

Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal are currently the clubs that have shown the most interest in Mohammed Salah . Contacts are ongoing and both clubs are trying to determine if there is room for negotiations.”

Salah has another contract at Anfield until 2025 and the winger is expected to follow. The 31-year-old is still one of Jurgen Klopp’s key players and will want to be part of the rebuild which starts next season.

The Egypt international could one day play in Saudi Arabia but it’s difficult for Salah to make the move anytime soon as there is still a long way to go at Liverpool.

Agent says Jürgen Klopp should complete a “super” cut-rate deal, making Liverpool his “dream” team.

Liverpool transfer news: A Jurgen Klopp ‘target’ could move this summer, although a deal with the Reds would be difficult. Meanwhile, Juventus want a $66m offer.

The transfer rumor has skyrocketed over the past two days, but the plan for Liverpool remains the same: find value in the market and try to find more bargains in a bloated landscape.

On Monday, MARCA claimed Liverpool for a transfer fee in excess of $300m (£236m/€274m) was a realistic target for Kylian Mbappé, while Spanish newspaper El Nacional reported that a bid of $77m was worth it (£60m/€70m). was submitted by the Reds for Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde. We’ve covered those reports here.

Today there are more updates from the world of transfers, with more big claims from Italy centering on Juventus striker Federico Chiesa, while there is also an update on a Everton player previously scouted by Liverpool.

With the transfer season just getting started, we can expect many more players to be linked with a move to Anfield over the coming weeks, although Khéphren Thuram is a more likely name than others to join the Merseyside then.

Federico Chiesa (Juventus)

Juventus are ‘hoping’ someone will sign for Chiesa, 25, this summer, Italian publication Corriere della Sera (translated from ‘Football Italia’) reports, with the Serie A club up for sale. Max Allegri’s side need to cut their wage bill and Chiesa is someone who could be sacrificed.

This could explain the links with Liverpool, while Aston Villa are another option according to Gianluca Di Marzio, but the player is not thrilled. Newcastle United could also come to the table for the player, who is valued at $66m (£52m/€60m)

Liverpool.com says: Signing another striker is not the priority for Liverpool this summer, with midfielders and defenders needing to be acquired before they can be thought about.

Chiesa is a standout player with an erratic injury record and while there may be reason to spend a smaller amount on him, at $66 million, that seems like too big a gamble when there are other priorities to contend with.

Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton)

Everton young defender Jarrad Branthwaite wants to leave this summer due to interest from elsewhere, reports Football Insider.

West Ham United have shown interest, the report said, while the Daily Mail has previously said Liverpool, Manchester United and AS Roma discovered him during his loan spell at PSV.

Liverpool are in the hunt for a left-back this summer but signing Branthwaite from Everton would be a difficult task. The last player to join the Reds directly from Everton was Abel Xavier in January 2002.

Liverpool.com says: Branthwaite is clearly a good talent and it’s no surprise there’s interest elsewhere. He meets many of Liverpool’s criteria (left-footed, homegrown, etc.), but bringing him over from Everton would almost be a non-starter.

If he moves elsewhere first, the 21-year-old centre-back could perhaps reappear on the Reds’ radar in the future.

Liverpool’s 24-year-old player will be fantastic, according to Jurgen Klopp, next season.

Jurgen Klopp would expect Darwin Nunez to shine for Liverpool next season after an uneven first year in the Premier League at Anfield.

According to Athletic, the German manager has high expectations for the 24-year-old striker, who scored 15 goals in his first season on Merseyside after Nunez completed a blockbuster transfer from Benfica to Liverpool that could cost up to £85m.

With Roberto Firmino leaving Liverpool, Nunez is expected to be given more minutes as Klopp looks to split playing time between his five-star strikers. And the Uruguayan international could make a name for himself in the new season.

In UEFA Europa League football, Nunez could become a Liverpool regular, making Klopp’s new task of juggling the team’s fitness while challenging for the Premier League title a challenge the former Benfica star could happily accept.

With Nunez now more accustomed to the Premier League and playing for Liverpool, fans expect him to improve on his goalscoring tally from last season, a feat the 24-year-old could easily match if he gives his brand new season. .

Klopp is right to demand more of Nunez in his second season at Liverpool

Nunez arrived at Liverpool this summer with one of Europe’s biggest shouts and while 15 goals isn’t a bad tally for a striker making his Premier League debut, many fans and critics were expecting more. . And Klopp has every right to demand more from the striker next season.

In fact, Nunez has grown in confidence with every game in England and for Liverpool.

And with the Reds entering a whole new world with the Europa League next year, the South American talisman could become the attacking leader of the Anfield side if all goes well for the former Benfica star.

Khephren Thuram impressed on Thursday night as France got off to a strong start in the European Under-21 Championship. Gabri Veiga and Ryan Gravenberch, who are expected to be the stars of the tournament, are among the Reds’ targets this summer.

Elsewhere, Liverpool are heavily networked with talent from across Europe. The latest is Edmond Tapsoba with reports suggesting Tottenham Hotspur will come under pressure from the Anfield club this summer.

According to reports from Italy, Federico Chiesa could be the latest striker to join the Reds as a €45million offer is reportedly being drawn up by Merseyside chiefs.

United see third mount offer rejected

At Manchester United, a third offer for Mason Mount was rejected.
Their latest bid for the midfielder would have been worth £50m plus £5m in add-ons.

Sporting State Chelsea have tabled a £58m plus £7m counter-offer as the two clubs struggle to reach an agreement.
Liverpool, of course, were heavily linked with Mount not too long ago but opted against making a formal offer for the England international. Was it the right move for the Reds?

Benitez has been out of work since leaving Everton at the start of last year but now looks set for a new La Liga challenge.

Federico Chiesa in Liverpool: the Reds lead the race. According to reports from Italy, Liverpool are leading the race to sign Juventus striker Federico Chiesa.

Gazzetta dello Sport have claimed that it is the Reds who are on top as the Serie A giants reflect on their prized assets this summer.

In Friday’s edition of the paper, they suggest via Sport Witness that a departure of the 25-year-old would pave the way for the arrival of Nicolo Zaniolo from Galatasaray.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are said to be ‘ready to take him seriously’ at the prospect of signing the former Fiorentina striker, with the German seen as a keen admirer and pushing the move.

It was also claimed that ‘manoeuvres’ had started with players’ agent Fali Ramadani. Their report goes further and suggests that Liverpool could submit a bid between €40m (£34.2m) and €45m (£38.5m) as early as next week.

However, it has previously been reported that Juventus want a minimum of €60m (£51.3m), with European giants Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain seemingly among the competitors.

Liverpool was ordered to spend £15 million to acquire a “world-class” wonderkid before Real Madrid.

In spite of Real Madrid’s current interest, Liverpool has reportedly been told they can sign Fenerbahce wonderkid Arda Guler if they activate his €17.5 million (£15.9 million) release clause.

As reported by AS, the young talent will only be permitted to leave Turkey this summer if a club exercises his £15 million exit clause. Liverpool is just one of many teams interested in signing Guler, who has exploded onto the European scene this season.

Target Scouting has praised Guler as a “world-class” prospect, and Liverpool are now keeping an eye on the 18-year-old winger after he recently scored for Turkey against Wales in Euro 2024 qualifying. Guler has garnered a lot of praise this season for his impressive performances for Fenerbahce.

Given his youth, Guler is undoubtedly on the path to becoming one of the best players in Europe with six goals and seven assists for Fener last season across all competitions. And with the release clause set at £15 million, Liverpool may now find themselves in a position to sign the young player.

However, if Los Blancos push hard enough to bring the 18-year-old wonderkid to Spain in the upcoming weeks, Liverpool may find it extremely difficult to lure the Turkish winger to Anfield due to Madrid’s interest in him.

If Madrid makes an offer, Liverpool might have trouble acquiring Guler.

Guler’s talent seems to have no limits; at this rate, the winger will soon rank among the most thrilling athletes in all of Europe. Liverpool, however, may be unable to sign the Fenerbahce star if Madrid initiates contact with the player too soon.

Indeed, Madrid is not averse to making significant financial investments in young athletes whom the team believes are deserving of playing for the first team. And if Liverpool goes through with a move, the La Liga team might significantly outmuscle them given how impressive Guler has been over the past 12 months.

Bayern Munich getting ready £44m bid to beat Liverpool to Juventus superstar

Bayern Munich are reportedly preparing a bid to sign Juventus winger Federico Chiesa, with Liverpool also eyeing the Italy international.

According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the Bavarian giants are ready to make a €50m (£44m) bid to bring the Serie A superstar to Germany, with Bayern hoping to beat teams like Liverpool to Chiesa while Juventus try now to sack the winger.

The Italian side’s financial situation means virtually every player is now on sale at the right price, including the likes of Chiesa, while Bayern seek to exploit Juventus’ woes by poaching one of their most valuable assets. more valuable.

Hailed by fans as an “unrelenting diamond”, Chiesa is heavily linked with a move to Liverpool this summer after returning from a year-long injury last season. However, despite strong rumors that the Reds could be interested, Bayern could now give them the win.

Indeed, Thomas Tuchel’s side are set to undergo a massive squad overhaul this summer after coming so close to winning the Bundesliga title last season.

And Chiesa could be an excellent signing for the Germans, although Liverpool may now be considering making a rival offer for the full-back.

Liverpool cannot allow Chiesa to switch to Bayern so easily

Chiesa is arguably one of the best wingers in the world when fully fit and in shape, and for Liverpool the Reds cannot get the striker to Bayern as easily as has been reported, with the Juventus striker being ideal for the Jurgen Klopp’s system.

While Liverpool are in no rush to expand their attacking ranks, a player as good as Chiesa shouldn’t escape the fingers of Anfield. Merseyside Giants this summer.

22-Year-Old Liverpool Midfield Target Is A Target For Newcastle

Liverpool have been linked with the transfer of OGC Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram this summer.

The 22-year-old French midfielder has been in Liverpool’s sights for some time and it remains to be seen whether the Reds can agree a deal for him.

It appears that Premier League rivals Newcastle United are now ready to enter the tender and challenge Liverpool for the signing of him.

A report from Football Insider says Newcastle are also keen on the French midfielder.

Both Liverpool and Newcastle need to add more quality and depth to the center of the park and Thuram would improve both sides.

The 22-year-old has all the qualities to become a full-fledged central midfielder. Working with managers like Eddie Howe and Jurgen Klopp could help him continue to improve over the next few seasons.

Liverpool are in desperate need of midfield reinforcements after losing James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on a free transfer.

They have signed Alexis Mac Allister but need to sign at least two other midfielders this summer.

On the other hand, Newcastle already lacked depth in midfield and they have now qualified for the Champions League.

They will need a stronger squad to compete on all fronts and Thuram could be a quality partner to Bruno Guimaraes at the heart of their midfield.

Both clubs have the financial clout to seal a deal with Nice and where the 22-year-old will end up remains to be seen.

Other clubs monitoring Kone’s situation are Paris Saint-Germain, Aston Villa and Wolves, all of whom have an ‘outsider chance’.

Numerous starts in midfield certainly mean the Reds don’t have enough depth in the center of the park and as we’ve also seen before, injury could ruin the Reds’ chances of landing their best possible finish at the league stage. get in the way.

There is probably no other Premier League team who understand the importance of a full squad better than we do, as it has cost us a Premier League title or two in recent seasons. Also this season we didn’t even manage to finish in UCL.

The upcoming U21 European Championships will help Kone showcase his talent on the biggest stages. He is seen in the French squad alongside Khephren Thuram who is also on the Reds’ radar.

With a huge range of passing and ball-carrying ability, Kone could certainly contribute to the Reds’ cause in more ways than one.

Kone certainly has a lot to learn when he moves to the Reds, and hopefully he does. Midfielders are certainly in demand at Merseyside, and having Kone certainly wouldn’t hurt Liverpool.

Jamie Carragher makes a bold prediction about what will soon “the norm” at Liverpool

Trent Alexander-Arnold performed admirably for England in the midfield as they defeated Malta.

Trent Alexander-Arnold should play in midfield for Liverpool in the future, according to Jamie Carragher.

For the vast majority of his Reds career, the 24-year-old has played right back, contributing to the team’s six major championships.

Alexander-Arnold’s performances were revived, though, when Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp switched him to a hybrid full-back/midfield position after his form dipped last season.

In light of the substitution, England’s engine room starter for their Euro 2024 qualifying match against Malta on Friday night was a Reds academy graduate. He excelled in the position and scored the Three Lions’ second goal in the 4-0 victory with a fantastic 25-yard effort.

Since Alexander-Arnold played there while progressing through Anfield’s youth ranks, there has been long-standing demand for him to be moved there. And if that were the case, Alexander-Arnold, according to Kop legend Carragher, could score and assist on double digits.

This TAA midfield role will eventually become the standard for club and nation, he tweeted.

He is a prolific creator from fullback and will also be in central midfield, but the goal he just scored will occur much more frequently there. Playing more forward would allow him to reach double digits in goals and assists. “.

Gareth Southgate, the manager of England, commented on Alexander-Arnold’s performance, saying: “The fact that he’s been playing partly in there with the ball, albeit a bit deeper, I think has helped his transition tonight.

“What was pleasing tonight is that he’s getting used to receiving in confined spaces with his back to goal and players behind him.

While he was perfectly at ease receiving on the sidelines with the play in front of him as is customary for him.

“Look, I have no doubts that he can handle it.
Without the ball, his experience in the role will be very different, and he is simply learning some of its nuances. ”.

Liverpool prepared to submit offer to sign £154,000 a week star according to Report

Liverpool have been heavily linked with Federico Chiesa this month and the latest reports indicate they are ready to launch a bid to sign him.

In early June, we reported via La Gazzetta Dello Sport a story that the Reds are mainly looking to sign the Italian international, who is valued by Juventus at around €40-45m.

Yesterday several Italian media spoke about this topic.

According to Tutto Sport, Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle would be ready to offer the forward the showcase of the Premier League.

The reputable news source said Jurgen Klopp in particular is very intrigued by the versatile 25-year-old playmaker. On the other hand, according to Calcio Mercato Web, Liverpool would be ready to make an offer of 35 million euros to attract Chiesa.

It is said that the Old Lady is seriously considering the possibility of selling the blue champion, who was largely on the couch last season.

The Euro 2020 champion is a talented and quality player, but in the last two seasons he has not been able to play regularly due to multiple health problems.

In the just-ended season, the £154,000-a-week star suffered knee and muscle injuries and started just six Serie A games (two goals and five assists).
Do you think Liverpool should still sign him given his torrid fitness record?

Jörg Schmadtke working on two shortlists for Liverpool’s dual transfer plan

Where are Liverpool’s transfers for potential midfield signings and centre-backs as Jorg Schmadtke takes charge

Such is the insatiable appetite for transfers, as soon as Alexis Mac Allister was announced as a Liverpool player the clamor for the next new face began.

And there’s no doubt that World Cup winner Argentina won’t be the latest signing, as Jurgen Klopp begins to step up his efforts to strengthen his squad after a hugely disappointing season.

Challenging time for the new sports director Jorg Schmadtke. While predecessor Julian Ward laid the groundwork for the arrival of Mac Allister, the move is now complete and Schmadtke now handles all inbound and outbound business.

Further strengthening of the midfield remains a priority, although Liverpool’s desire to freshen up their engine room has led to an open season in terms of connections between players, whether they are agents looking to raise their client’s profile or they are looking for a better contract with their current club .

However, not all of them are wrong. French duo Khephren Thuram of Nice and Manu Kone of Borussia Moenchengladbach – where Schmadtke’s son Nils was appointed sporting director last week – remain on the shortlist as Liverpool now look to set targets that are both desirable and achievable.

Ryan Gravenberch is another, although Bayern Munich did not appear willing to sell after only signing the Dutchman in the summer. All three are 22 years of age or younger.

Chelsea’s previous oversight of England international Conor Gallagher has so far gone no further.

With the imminent departures of James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, while aware of the need for homegrown talent, they won’t have too much influence over who Liverpool bring with Mason Mount now closing in on a move to Manchester United .

Interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Matheus Nunes has also waned in recent weeks.

And while Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes is a big fan, the recruitment team understands that a transfer from the Brazilian is almost certainly a failure.

Other positions in the team seem more closed. There is no indication from Liverpool that the desire to sign a right-back this summer is high, suggesting there is no real interest in Bayern Munich’s Benjamin Pavard.

Only if Kostas Tsimikas leaves will a new left-back be considered, although Liverpool have been impressed with Luke Chambers’ loan spell at Kilmarnock, with the 18-year-old playing in five different positions.

The Reds also see no reason to further strengthen their offensive line, given that Cody Gakpo, who arrived in January, would have already replaced the departing Roberto Firmino.

The Reds also don’t want to block the progress of top-flight teenage right winger Ben Doak, who could be destined for minutes in domestic cups and the Europa League group stage next season.

With Adrian set to sign a contract extension, a new goalkeeper is also not on the agenda unless Caoimhin Kelleher pushes for a move elsewhere. He too can benefit from injury time in the first team in Europe.

But one area Liverpool are definitely looking to target is the centre-back, as Jurgen Klopp admitted last month.
It would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that the heart of the defense is a time bomb.

But with Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip both in their thirties, the latter entering the final 12 months of his contract and Joe Gomez struggling for consistency in the position, it would be a proactive move by Liverpool, especially with one or both of Wet Phillips.

and Rhys Williams are likely to have suitors this summer. If not this summer, a new central defender will arrive in about 12 months.

A left sided centre-back is ideal and one with the potential to progress in the position.

England under-21 international Levi Colwill, who has returned to Chelsea after an impressive loan season at Brighton, would be a perfect fit and is admired by Liverpool’s recruitment squad.

However, the Reds have shown no official interest in Micky van de Ven, who plays for Schmadtke’s former club Wolfsburg at the moment. As with the midfielders, Liverpool are now looking to shorten their list of possible targets.

Schmadtke could still put his feet under the table at Liverpool. But there are clearly two clear objectives that he needs to achieve before the new season begins.

Liverpool transfer news: Jürgen Klopp prioritizes a $43 million star and Manu Koné as his “number one” player

Liverpool transfer news: Jürgen Klopp may also see a $43 million steal for Federico Chiesa, and the Reds are reportedly in pole position to sign Manu Koné.

With Jörg Schmadtke as the club’s new sports director, Liverpool should expect to be linked with a wide range of players as the transfer market ramps up.

There is a fair probability that Schmadtke will be linked to moves for a number of Bundesliga players, with Manu Koné receiving yet another mention in today’s transfer round-up. Schmadtke has a lot of work to do.

However, Liverpool will not simply make investments in the midfield.

Jürgen Klopp must also find ways to strengthen his defense, and in response to a question before the season’s final game, he did not rule out making a signing in an attacking position.

Midfield may be the first priority, but if the right players in other positions are available for the right price, there are still lots of other things that may happen in the summer transfer market.

Here is Liverpool.com’s assessment of the transfer rumors that have been swirling about the Reds lately, in which two talents who might suit that description have been connected to transfers to Anfield.

(Borussia Mönchengladbach) Manu Koné

Manu Koné might join Liverpool this summer, according to Tobi Altschäffl, a BILD writer in Germany, who spoke with Empire of the Kop regarding Borussia Mönchengladbach’s willingness to trade the player.

There have been speculations that Chelsea and PSG want Koné, but Altschäffl believes that Liverpool is currently the top destination for him.

“A new era is beginning in Liverpool’s midfield, and he might be a key component of it. Maybe the final sum is $32 (£26/€30) million plus a $5.4 (£4.3/€5 million) bonus. If Liverpool pushes, this might move quickly.

According to Liverpool.com, Koné certainly seems to be a possibility that the Reds are examining, but it is still unclear whether Liverpool will ultimately choose him. Finding the correct combination will depend on a number of other talented individuals, including Khéphren Thuram.

(Juventus)Federico Chiesa

According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport (print edition, via Paisley Gates), Liverpool and Bayern Munich are ‘above all’ interested in signing Juventus forward Federico Chiesa this summer.

As the Italian team attempts to raise money, the source states that Chiesa may be made available for as little as $43 million (£34 million/€40 million). However, the 25-year-old has missed a lot of sport due to injury – 62 games over the last two seasons, according to Transfermarkt.

If there is trust that his problems are behind him, Chiesa would be a great addition to Liverpool’s forward line and at that price would be a bargain that would be worth the risk, according to Liverpool.com.

However, the immediate priority is not the offensive locations. Liverpool requires at least a few midfielders and one or two defenders. However, considering Chiesa’s caliber, there is a case for adding him as well for as low as $43m.
