Liverpool set to seek final offer to sign £32m midfielder – report

Liverpool celebrated their first win of the season by beating Bournemouth in the Premier League at Anfield.

The Reds have been brilliant up front but have again shown vulnerability defensively and need to sign another DM and defender before the summer transfer window closes.

The Merseysiders have been linked with Ivory Coast international Ibrahim Sangare for some time and the latest reports are intriguing.

Last week we covered a story from Rik Elfrink claiming Liverpool and Bayern are after the African star and need to activate the £32m (€37.5m) release clause to secure his signature.

Renowned journalist Florian Plettenberg has revealed that the German champions don’t want to use the services of PSV Eindhoven’s match agent. However, recent reports from Spain suggest that Bayern are pushing to land Sangare.

According to Fichajes, Bayern Munich are keen to sign the 25-year-old from the Eredivisie giants but Liverpool haven’t given up yet.

Liverpool are reportedly looking to make a final bid to hijack the deal and bolster the No.6 position for Jurgen Klopp.

So far this season, Sangare has made five appearances, scoring one goal, providing one assist and helping the team keep two clean sheets.

He was there for 90 minutes yesterday as PSV beat Vitesse 3-1 to go top of the table. Have your say: should Liverpool activate the £32m clause to sign Ibrahim Sangare?

More news……

Michael Owen claims Liverpool now has a player they weren’t particularly interested in purchasing.

Wataru Endo was “clearly” not the defensive midfielder Liverpool wanted to sign this summer.

The Reds announced the signing of the 30-year-old on Friday and made him his debut against Bournemouth yesterday. Generally he has done well because he has found himself in a difficult situation.

But according to former Reds forward Michael Owen, Endo wasn’t what Jurgen Klopp really wanted. Speaking to premierleague.com ahead of Saturday’s match, Owen said that while he liked the signing, he was something of a last resort for Liverpool. “It was obviously not their first choice, let’s get it right,” said the 43-year-old. “But I like the way Liverpool gave some clarity, they went and did it. The longer it went on without having that number 6, the more prices went up and all sorts. There’s much nervousness between the fans and the players

“Goal one, it didn’t happen, goal two, it didn’t happen. We basically learned the next day that medical treatment was underway, compensation had been agreed, and so on. So I think Liverpool should be commended for that. They’ve gotten a lot of flak in the last couple of weeks for not getting some buys over the limit.”

Liverpool bets on Endo

If things had gone to plan for Liverpool this summer, it’s hard to see why they would have bought Endo.

Prior to and throughout the period to date, dozens of midfielders have been appointed in relation to the Reds.

Not once did Endo ever cross his mind. He just wasn’t on the radar.

But for whatever reason, Liverpool found themselves in a position where they had no other choice.

The consequences will depend on how Endo behaves on the pitch for the Reds. As it stands, he is Liverpool’s only option to play in defensive midfield ahead of next week’s trip to Newcastle.

He’s going to have to start pretty quickly on the training ground this week.

Of course, just because a player isn’t first, second, or third choice doesn’t mean he’s doomed to fail. Liverpool’s recent history is full of near misses and good transfer market fortunes. Endo is now ours and we will support him to the end.

According to Romano ‘incredible’ Liverpool midfield target is joining PL rivals

Liverpool are likely to still be on the hunt for more midfielders before the transfer window closes.

The Reds have managed to sign Wataru Endo from Stuttgart.

The Japan international’s move to Anfield was a relief for Liverpool after a difficult week.

Not only did Liverpool lose Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to the Saudi Pro League, but two of their top targets moved to Chelsea instead.

However, there is more disappointing midfield news regarding another top midfielder linked with the Reds. The player in question is Leeds United and United States star Tyler Adams, who was linked with Liverpool 90 minutes ago.

The 90Min report acknowledged Bournemouth were favorites to sign the American, and they are now close to a deal.

Fabrizio Romano took to Twitter Friday night to say “here we go” on Adams to the South Coast.

The “excellent” player would have passed a medical and signed a five-year contract.

Tyler Adams to Bournemouth, here we go! Medical tests passed, agreement signed tonight on five year contract — completed soon 🚨🔴🍒 #AFCB

Excellent addition for Bournemouth as club showing ambition again.

Our point of view

In this case, Liverpool fans are unlikely to be too disappointed as the speculation seemed rather superficial. However, the Reds have lost an “incredible” player who was perfectly positioned for a big move, as he was relegated to Leeds.

Chelsea, in fact, tried to sign Adams, before pulling the plug and opting for Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.

That said, Liverpool have done it with the signing of Endo, and they will no doubt make further additions before the start of September.

Jörg Schmadtke can exercise the third release clause in his $41 million transfer, to complete Liverpool’s midfield

In Jörg Schmadtke’s brief tenure, Liverpool has a fondness for release clauses. He could use one more to provide Jürgen Klopp with a top-tier midfield.

Ibrahim Sangaré of PSV Eindhoven is a potential addition for Jürgen Klopp’s team and is reportedly a target for Liverpool.

The Reds have reportedly joined Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain in their pursuit of midfielder Sangaré, according to Kiki Musampa, the brother of Sangaré’s agent. “There are big clubs that are interested, such as Bayern Munich,” he told ESPN Netherlands.

Ibrahim is also on the list at Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain, but neither club has made him a priority just yet. Although Nottingham Forest had already made an offer, it was insufficient. “.

The 25-year-old has reportedly drawn the interest of Aston Villa in the past, but a transfer to England has not yet occurred.

In any case, Sangaré now has the ideal chance to make the transition into English football’s top division thanks to the gaps in Liverpool’s midfield. His special qualities and physique will give Klopp the reinforcement he needs in front of his defense. It might be time for Jörg Schmadtke to take action.

Liverpool is actively looking for a defensive midfielder, which is no secret. Sangaré is the newest name to be added to the ever-expanding list of potential solutions for Schmadtke, whose pursuit of Moisés Caicedo and Roméo Lavia amply demonstrates the squad’s flaws.

There is a need for defensive reinforcements, and Sangaré’s 1.9 meter frame would provide that. He is tenacious on the defensive end of the field, averaging 2.5 tackles, 1.5 blocks, and 1.9 clearances per 90 minutes, and he provides the ideal barrier ahead of the defense for Klopp to turn to in order to stabilize his team.

His 58 percent success rate in tackles against dribblers demonstrates his dominance on the field, but his contributions extend beyond this area of the game.

He is eager to retain the ball and move forward to help his teammates advance, in addition to his willingness to win the ball back for his team. Sangaré consistently displays his excellent passing range and accuracy while in possession, averaging just under eight progressive passes per game with an 84% completion rate.

The player exhibits a variety of skills and, at only 25 years old, is still far from reaching his peak performance. Given other deals that its rivals have made, Liverpool and Schmadtke could once again sign a top-tier midfielder for what would have to be regarded as a fraction of the market price with an apparent release clause of only $41 million (£32 million/€37 million).

Trent Alexander-Arnold, in his new role, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, and Curtis Jones give Liverpool the ball-playing and creative midfielders they need to hurt any opponent. Sangaré’s abilities to win the ball, along with his other qualities, could be combined with this to give Klopp one of the Premier League’s most balanced and solid midfields.

Liverpool news: Trent Alexander-Arnold names player he won’t be’ as Jurgen Klopp says what he needs to do to replace late star

Trent Alexander-Arnold has confessed he cannot be the leader that James Milner was and has urged other Liverpool stars to fill the void.

Milner, 37, has now left Anfield for Brighton after a fantastic eight years at the club. He moved to Merseyside in June 2015 after five seasons with Manchester City. The Leeds-born ace won two Premier Leagues, an EFL Cup and an FA Cup with the Citizens.

And he added the 2018-19 Champions League to another Premier League triumph with the Reds. The former England winger also won both domestic cups with Liverpool but has now joined the Seagulls.

Milner left his contract this summer and signed a one-year contract with Amex with an option for an additional 12 months.

Since Jordan Henderson also left the club, Virgil van Dijk took over the captaincy.

Alexander-Arnold was named vice-captain. But the Englishman believes it will take a concerted effort to replicate the effect Milner had in the dressing room. “I play a role in making sure I live up to the standard every day,” she told the Daily Mail. “By losing Milner, you can’t replace him immediately. A lot of people will be needed. Others have to step forward.

“We have to make sure that the way he has continued to push us forward is replaced.”

Liverpool’s midfield will look very different in 2023/24. Fabinho, Naby Keita, Fabio Carvalho and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain joined the departures of Henderson and Milner.

Carvalho’s departure was on loan to RB Leipzig for a year, while Roberto Firmino has also left.

There are newcomers too, with Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister now on board.

Alexander-Arnold aware of Liverpool’s role
Liverpool fans are hoping for a return to the form they played regularly in the Champions League until last season.

Nine defeats in the top flight have left them well off pace and in fifth place. That just means Europa League for the Anfield faithful.

They will open the season at home against Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.

Alexander-Arnold will be one of the players Klopp will look to when the chips run out.

The man with 20 England caps knows he won’t have the same impact as Milner.

But he hopes to have qualities that can provoke a reaction from his teammates. “I am aware of myself. I know I will never be a James Milner,” he added.

“I will never be that kind of leader, but the leadership qualities that I have have to be demonstrated and they have to be seen, heard and used in an effective way for the team.”

“I have to keep pushing forward to try to achieve the things that I want to achieve.”

Alexander-Arnold could well be used in Klopp’s midfield this season. Last season he was used several times in the hybrid position. Gareth Southgate has also propelled him higher up the pitch for England and it could be that the future of the Liverpool man lies on the right side of midfield.

Liverpool interest in Ibrahim Sangare has been ‘confirmed’ as Bayern Munich and PSG rival transfer

Ibrahim Sangare, a midfielder for PSV Eindhoven, is the most recent name to be connected to a transfer to Liverpool.

Ibrahim Sangare, a midfielder for PSV Eindhoven, is reportedly a target for Liverpool, according to Kiki Musampa.

The Reds are one of three elite European clubs reportedly pursuing the French-Ivorian, according to the 46-year-old brother of Sangare’s agent. Prior to failing to meet the Eredivisie team’s financial demands, Nottingham Forest expressed interest in the 25-year-old player.

It’s no secret that Liverpool is looking for middle-range reinforcements.
Prior to Brighton and Hove Albion accepting the Reds’ offer of about £110 million for Moises Caicedo, Southampton had three times rejected their bid for Romeo Lavia.

Before Jurgen Klopp’s team made a move, Chelsea had been Caicedo’s longtime suitors. The battle between the two teams for midfielders is still going on, but the Londoners have reportedly since swooped in for both targets.

According to rumors, Sangare was the subject of an approach from Premier League team Nottingham Forest and has a €37.5m (£32m) release clause in his contract.

Even though Steve Cooper’s team fell short of the 25-year-old’s asking price, Sangare reportedly still ranks highly on the City Ground club’s wish list.

In the race to sign Sangare, Musampa this weekend listed Liverpool alongside European powerhouses Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain. The former footballer, who was appearing on ESPN at the time, is the agent’s brother for Sangare.

There are significant clubs interested, like Bayern Munich, he claimed. Ibrahim is also on the list at Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain but is not yet a top priority there. The offer from Nottingham Forest was made, but it was insufficient. “.

Romano discloses Liverpool phone conversation regarding £50 million deal on Friday after Reds fail “secret job”

Fabrizio Romano claims that after Chelsea submitted a revised offer on Friday, Liverpool called Southampton to discuss a potential trade for Romeo Lavia.

Liverpool made a move for Moises Caicedo, as reported, and Jurgen Klopp confirmed it in his press conference on Friday. A bid of approximately £110 million was reportedly accepted.

However, it was later discovered that the Ecuadorian player had told the Reds that “he only wants to join” Chelsea this summer, with the Blues preparing a new offer of their own.

In an effort to find at least one replacement for Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, both of whom left for Saudi Arabia earlier this summer, Liverpool has also been in a competition with Chelsea for Southampton midfielder Lavia, who is valued at £50 million.

The losses of Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and James Milner, who left on free transfers, were covered by the additions of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai earlier this summer.

Liverpool has made several offers to Southampton for Belgian international Lavia but they have all been rejected, and they now run the risk of losing out to Chelsea in the race for him as well.

Additionally, despite having so far been unable to meet Southampton’s asking price, according to transfer expert Romano, Liverpool are still interested in signing Lavia and last night made contact with the Saints.

“The Moises Caicedo saga has been just, if not more, crazy,” Romano wrote in his Caught Offside column on Friday. “The story of the day on Friday was Harry Kane to Bayern. Chelsea is currently in touch with Brighton to make another offer for Caicedo as of the time of writing.

So let’s wait for that action since it is very important. On Friday around noon, when it appeared that everything was in place for Caicedo to join Jurgen Klopp’s team, he made it very clear to Liverpool that he wanted to go to Chelsea.

“So that’s why Chelsea are now working on a club-to-club agreement after weeks of negotiations. Chelsea seemed to be certain that they would be the only ones working on this deal, but Liverpool did a great job on their “secret job.”. The player’s preference will always determine the outcome in the end.

“Chelsea also made a fresh offer to Southampton on Friday night for Romeo Lavia, but let’s wait for Caicedo’s conclusion before concluding that the 19-year-old’s story is over because Liverpool also called Southampton on Friday afternoon.

Liverpool has also been in the running all day, but Chelsea consider Lavia to be a separate deal from Caicedo. Southampton has made it clear that they will not sell Lavia for less than £50 million. “.

LIVE Liverpool Transfer News: Moises Caicedo, Ibrahim Sangare, and Romeo Lavia bid.

Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo are among the most recent topics in Liverpool transfer news, rumors, gossip, and speculation.

the Reds’ season got off to a mediocre start with a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge as the Premier League season finally got underway. In the big picture, Liverpool can look at it as a win as they try to strengthen their team ahead of their first home game against AFC Bournemouth.

A deal to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton and Hove Albion is reportedly close to being finalized, according to the most recent transfer rumors.

As we all know, Liverpool and the Ecuadorian midfielder came to an agreement on a fee, but the Londoners returned to the fray and, if reports are to be believed, appear set to sign him.

Romeo Lavia is a player who is still inextricably linked to Liverpool. The Reds are reportedly aiming to match Chelsea’s £55 million offer for the Southampton player, according to reports out of Belgium and England.

Liverpool miss out on Caicedo

Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo was passed over by Liverpool.

When their offer of £110 million was accepted by the Seagulls in the wee hours of Friday morning, the Reds launched a sensational last-minute attempt to sign Caicedo.

Chelsea, who had been pursuing Caicedo all summer, had made an offer of £100 million at the time Brighton set a cutoff point for an auction for the player.

The Stamford Bridge was subsequently invited to submit a second bid because the Ecuadorian international and his representatives preferred a move to London.

Sangare linked.

Kiki Musampa claims that Ibrahim Sangare of PSV Eindhoven is a target for Liverpool.

The Reds are one of three top European clubs reportedly pursuing the French-Ivorian, according to the 46-year-old brother of Sangare’s agent. Prior to failing to meet the Eredivisie team’s financial demands, Nottingham Forest expressed interest in the 25-year-old.

Within the first 30 minutes, he hit the crossbar from the edge of the area, created Diaz’s opening goal with a beautiful cross, had a goal-bound shot blocked, and had a goal disallowed. But after the break, I needed more help and wasn’t particularly pleased to be subbed.

Diogo Jota 6
