‘Desperate’ Liverpool are willing to “try again” to sign the £111 million star that Klopp “is in love with”

Liverpool hope to sign Federico Valverde or Aurelien Tchouameni from Real Madrid this summer.

The Reds have made a brilliant start to the summer transfer window with new signings Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai from Brighton and RB Leipzig respectively.

However, the unexpected departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to Saudi Arabia mean Jurgen Klopp will now have to sign at least one more midfielder before the September 1 transfer deadline.

They have certainly tried but Jamie Carragher recently slammed them for ’embarrassing’ Liverpool for making a ‘joke’ over a transfer window as recent market failures have left them in ‘an absolute mess’.

Chelsea beat Liverpool to the signings of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, but the latter has yet to be officially confirmed as the Reds’ offers for both players have been accepted. Caicedo has always wanted to join Chelsea, but it was Liverpool’s offer for the former Brighton midfielder that made Lavia feel like a “second choice”.

And with Lavia set to follow Caicedo to Chelsea, Spanish newspaper Nacional says Liverpool are now hoping Valverde or Tchouameni can boost their midfield.

Liverpool are now “desperate” to sign one of Real Madrid’s two midfielders, with Klopp heading up the Reds hierarchy to “reactivate interest” in the pair. Klopp is said to be ‘in love’ with Valverde as the German ‘tried to sign him’ before and the Reds boss now wants to ‘try again’ for the Uruguay international, who is believed to be worth around €130m (£111m). ) of the president of Real Florentino Perez.

Otherwise, Liverpool will turn their attention to Tchouameni – whom Klopp ‘tried to persuade’ to move to Anfield before joining Real from Monaco – although the France international has made it clear he is ‘not abandoning the team at La Liga”.
Neil Jones

Neil Jones, who has covered Liverpool since 2009, discussed possible alternatives to Lavia in his column for Caught Offside.

Jones wrote on Wednesday: “Coming to the news of Caicedo was another blow to Liverpool as Romeo Lavia also joined Chelsea.” This will hurt the Reds even more in many ways. Not because he’s a better player – he certainly isn’t – but because it’s a deal Liverpool could and should have made.

“Lavia has been on his radar for months and had three offers turned down earlier this summer. Their reluctance to meet Southampton’s asking price, which has always been around £50million, cost them as much as their dramatic move to Caicedo last week.

“And what it also does is that Liverpool’s ‘search for value’ policy is on full display. They didn’t think Lavia was worth £50m, which is good. I actually agree. He is not.

“But ultimately they were willing to pay him because they needed a player and still couldn’t get him. If they turn their attention elsewhere, they only have two and a half weeks to get someone in, and everyone knows they have money to spend. How likely is it that they find value now? “And who is out there? We know some players Liverpool like: Khephren Thuram, Ryan Gravenberch, Manu Kone, Cheick Doucoure. There is Florentino Luis at Benfica who seems like an interesting option.

“I don’t think they would face Manchester United for Sofyan Amrabat, while Tyler Adams looks like he’s leaving for Bournemouth. Kalvin Phillips? João Palhinha? How about Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi or PSV’s Ibrahim Sangare?

“There are many names in play at the moment and there is a need to act quickly and decisively. Liverpool should not be in this position but they are. His next move, and his success, could dictate the rest. of his season. “In terms of departures, despite the rumours, I wouldn’t expect Curtis Jones to leave Liverpool this summer.

“They already have enough problems in midfield without one of their local players having to leave. Jones had a good end to last season and a good summer with England at the European Under-21 Championship. He appears as a player ready to step up in terms of influence and performance at Anfield. You will not sell it.

According to Sky Italy Sofyan Amrabat, Liverpool have contacted Fiorentina about signing a midfielder

Manchester United are also interested in Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat; Liverpool have lost Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia to Chelsea this week, prompting Jamie Carragher to describe the Reds’ transfer business as ’embarrassing’; Amrabat has another year of contract with La Viola

Liverpool have held talks with Fiorentina through intermediaries over the possible signing of Sofyan Amrabat, Italy’s Sky reports.

Sky Sports News has been reporting throughout the summer that Manchester United are interested in the Moroccan international, with the midfielder working under Erik ten Hag at FC Utrecht.

However, further “major extra income” for Manchester United in this period looks increasingly difficult.

Liverpool were keen to improve their midfield this summer transfer window, having let go of Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Naby Keita, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Arthur Melo, signing only Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister.

Jurgen Klopp’s side missed Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia at Chelsea this summer. Former Brighton midfielder Caicedo completed a £115million move to Stamford Bridge earlier this week and Lavia is undergoing medical treatment ahead of a £58million move.

Both players preferred Chelsea to Liverpool, who also signed deals for the two midfielders, forcing the Reds to move on to other goals.

Sofyan Amrabat: Liverpool contact Fiorentina over signing of midfielder, report Sky in Italy

“This is the player Manchester United have been interested in all summer.

“Our colleague in Italy, Gianluca Di Marzio, reported that Amrabat changed agents today and if a player changes agents it usually means only one thing and that is because he wants to arrange a transfer. “Amrabat has another year on his contract with an option for another 12 months.

“United still maintain their interest. We’ve talked about their spending being done now simply because there are no major departures in the form of Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay. They can’t bring in any money to do other financial deals.

“Manchester United entered the market with three main targets: Andre Onana, Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund. They want to get back into the market, but it could prove difficult.

“But now it’s Liverpool who have started to show interest. It’s nothing new, Liverpool have a long-term interest in Amrabat, we’ve all seen how impressive he was for Morocco in the Cup.
of the world.”

“It will be interesting to see where this leads.”

Sky Sports’ Jamie Carragher described Liverpool’s summer as “an absolute mess, a joke and embarrassing” after missing out on Caicedo and Lavia.

Asked what the double transfer move means with three weeks remaining at Liverpool, Carragher said: “In a fairly difficult situation, people know they are desperate.” “They made a bid for Lavia today for £60m, when four or five days ago they refused to pay £50m. It’s an absolute mess and a joke.”

“The main problem is that Liverpool have known they need reinforcements in midfield since August last season, 12 months ago. So not having things in order…

“The two players they bought had buyout clauses, there’s no negotiation, there’s nothing to worry about, you just have to respect the buyout clause. So Liverpool didn’t sign big deals and it was embarrassing. “That’s why I won’t criticize the owners – they were ready to pay £111m and break the transfer record. Start with Lavia, not pay a certain amount, then go to Caicedo and go again.” Lavia, it’s a real mess, a joke and it’s embarrassing.”

Carlos Baleba is a target for Liverpool, according to rumors.

If you can’t get Moises Caicedo then maybe get the man Brighton want to sign to replace Moises Caicedo.

Having just sold Moises Caicedo to Chelsea in a £115m deal that still has Liverpool fans gritting their teeth, Brighton have chosen 19-year-old Lille’s Carlos Baleba as the man to replace their late defensive midfielder .

For some Liverpool fans, this begs a seemingly simple question: if Liverpool can’t have Caicedo, why don’t they just go and sign Baleba, aka Brighton’s supposed replacement for him, instead. Now, it seems the rumor mills agree.

At least according to The Mail and a smattering of even less popular outlets today, that’s precisely what Liverpool are at least considering, although it’s worth pointing out upfront that Baleba is a 19-year-old with 22 total senior caps. If fans rightly thought Southampton’s Roméo Lavia was unwilling to be a week-to-week regular for a club with silver lining ambitions, well, Baleba is far behind Lavia in his growth.

However, if Liverpool were to sign a more experienced player for the starting role, there could be a case for spending £15m to sign the young up-and-comer, although this would only make sense if Stefan Bajcetic is seen as more than an eight.

Baleba is not ready for a starting role at Liverpool at the moment. It’s far from certain that he’s ready for that in Brighton as well. However, it’s easy to imagine a world in which he will be a regular starter for a top English club in two or three years’ time.

Jamie Carragher makes bold prediction between Chelsea and Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp’s advantage becomes clear

Red mist expected to descend over Stamford Bridge as Chelsea lock horns with Liverpool in west London as Moises Caicedo saga follows

Jamie Carragher has revealed who he thinks will come out on top when Chelsea lock horns at Liverpool this weekend. The Blues welcome the Reds to Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon as both clubs look to start the new Premier League season with three points on the board.

In each of the sides’ previous four meetings, it ended 0-0 after 90 minutes. However, the ex-Liverpool defender believes the deadlock will finally be broken in what should be a fiery affair as the Moises Caicedo transfer saga unfolds.

The Blues remain confident they can still sign the 21-year-old midfielder despite the Reds signing a £110m deal with Brighton. It is understood Caicedo is yet to agree a personal deal with Liverpool despite the Merseyside club preparing for his arrival at the AXA academy.

Although Chelsea are yet to make an improved offer to the Seagulls, they intend to do so as the Ecuador international considers a move to Stamford Bridge. Earlier in the summer he expressed his desire to join West Londoners, describing the club as “a very big, beautiful and historic team”.

In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Carragher claimed the off-field shenanigans could see Chelsea and Liverpool raise the bar. He said: “Last season Liverpool and Chelsea drew 0-0 twice.” Clubs were already regrouping and looking to the future.

“The fact that it’s a surprise if there are less than four goals on Sunday is an indication of where they’re going this season. My prediction is a high-scoring draw with the two busiest goalkeepers and in off the pitch.” The battle for Caicedo will only add to the intensity of the occasion.

“For Jurgen Klopp, Mauricio Pochettino, Liverpool and Chelsea to become title contenders again, they need to be more active in the transfer market in the coming windows,” added Carragher.

“But no matter how much rebuilding and investment is needed for anyone following Manchester City, no one has more unfinished business in the Premier League than Pochettino, who is chasing the trophies that eluded him the first time around. ”

Liverpool have seen £34million transfer blocked as Romeo Lavia move takes Chelsea twist

Liverpool are unlikely to sign Andre this summer.

Liverpool may have to wait until the January transfer window to sign Andre in midfield, even if they are now losing Romeo Lavia. Fluminense are refusing to lose Brazilian international Andre until the end of the Copa Libertadores season.

A 2-0 win against Argentinos Juniors on Tuesday night saw the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A club progress to the quarter-finals of the South American Champions League. They will contest the two final stages on August 22-24 and August 29-31.

This means it could be too difficult for Liverpool to secure a deal before the window closes. The 22-year-old has a £34m release clause in his contract, but the Reds are facing a race against time to get the most precise details before the September 1 deadline.

This scenario also depends entirely on Fluminense also losing their quarter-final tie. Liverpool would do well not to pin all their hopes on it as victory would give them extremely short time to sign an alternative for the first six months of the year.

A move for Andre in January is more likely as Jurgen Klopp rebuilds his midfield. Although he may still need a new midfielder before then, otherwise Liverpool risk being short on numbers.

They have signed Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister but have lost five first-team midfielders this summer, including captain Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, who were regular starters last season.

Andre would be the long-term successor to Thiago Alcantara, whose contract expires in 2024. The one-capped Brazilian international comes across more as a controller with an impressive hitting range, like Thiago, than a ball-winner like Fabinho. .

Liverpool have been working on a deal to sign Romeo Lavia from Southampton to replace Fabinho as the team’s number 6. Journalist Sacha Tavolieri reported on Thursday that the Saints expected the Reds to meet their £50m price tag.

But Chelsea have now stolen with a £48m offer for the 19-year-old, including add-ons. Liverpool have turned down three offers for the Belgian, the latest at around £45m.

Southampton are refusing to cut the £50m valuation of the 19-year-old, who arrived from Manchester City just 12 months ago, to a high of £14m. However, Chelsea’s proposal could be enough to send Lavia to Stamford Bridge.

Missing out on the player after all his groundwork would be an embarrassing setback for Klopp’s side. Moreover, Chelsea are close to finalizing a deal for Moises Caicedo from Brighton for around £100million.

The Ecuadorian is another defensive-minded player admired by Liverpool despite being deemed far too expensive for the Merseyside side.

Updates on transfers and Chelsea LIVE: Liverpool prediction, Romeo Lavia hint, and Moises Caicedo deal

The latest Chelsea headlines, transfer gossip and injury news from Stamford Bridge, including updates on Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia and the Blues’ clash against Liverpool

In each of their four meetings so far, the game has ended 0-0 after 90 minutes, but the longer Mosies Caicedo’s standoff lasts, the more tense it is likely to be. Liverpool are believed to have been first to agree a deal with Brighton for the 21-year-old midfielder, who originally prefers a move to west London.

Still, the transfer race appears to be coming to an end, but it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious. Moreover, Romeo Lavia continues to be heavily linked with a move to Chelsea amid an inevitable departure from Southampton.

Michael Olise has also been a key target for the Blues this summer but speculation of a Crystal Palace exit has died down of late. So stick with us at football.london as we bring you the latest news, transfer gossip and injuries throughout the day.

Liverpool Prediction

Jamie Carragher has revealed who he thinks will emerge victorious when Chelsea take on Liverpool this weekend. The Blues are set to host the Reds at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon as both sides look to start the new Premier League campaign with three points.

In an interview with the Daily Telegraph he said: “Last season Liverpool and Chelsea drew 0-0 twice. The clubs were already regrouping and looking ahead.

“The fact that it’s a surprise if there are less than four goals on Sunday is an indication of where they’re going this season. My prediction is a high-scoring draw with the two busiest goalkeepers and in off the field.” The battle for Caicedo will only add to the intensity of the occasion.”

Message from Caicedo

Liverpool have dealt a serious blow to their hopes of signing Moises Caicedo. The 21-year-old is heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this summer as Mauricio Pochettino looks to strengthen his midfield, but Jurgen Klopp appears determined to usurp the deal.

Although Chelsea are yet to make an improved offer to the Seagulls, they intend to do so as Caicedo’s heartthrob is set on a move to west London.

Earlier in the summer he had expressed his desire to join the Blues, describing the club as “a very big, historic and beautiful team”. The Ecuadorian is so eager to work with Pochettino that he has reportedly reached out to some Chelsea players. According to TheSecretScout, Caicedo told them, “See you soon.”

Chelsea made a bid that comes the closest to valuation amid Romeo Lavia a transfer target for Liverpool.

Chelsea has made a £48 million offer to Southampton for 19-year-old Belgian midfielder Romeo Lavia in an effort to get a jump on Liverpool.

According to reports, Chelsea has made a £48 million offer for Romeo Lavia in an effort to sabotage Liverpool’s pursuit of the Southampton midfielder.

Weeks of negotiations have gone by with no resolution between Liverpool and the Saints due to the Reds’ objections to their £50 million asking price.

The Championship club swiftly rejected their most recent offer, which was for £45 million, which was sent earlier this week. The Athletic reports that Chelsea’s offer, which is reportedly worth £48 million plus add-ons, is currently the closest to matching Southampton’s asking price.

It is unclear whether the offer will be accepted, but if it is, Liverpool may have to prepare for the terrifying possibility that Lavia will face them on Sunday when they visit Stamford Bridge.

A £90 million deal for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo is also about to be finalized by Chelsea.

After being locked in discussions with the Seagulls all summer, Mauricio Pochettino’s team is hoping to finalize a deal for the Ecuadorian star before the weekend.

Chelsea has long been a fan of Lavia, but it seemed that they were more interested in Caicedo and Leeds midfielder Tyler Adams, who is currently heavily linked with a £20 million transfer to Stamford Bridge. However, it now seems possible that they will sign all three players.

It would be devastating for Liverpool to lose out on Lavia, especially after losing out to Real Madrid in the race for Jude Bellingham earlier this year and losing both Jordan Henderson and Fabinho in recent weeks.

Following the addition of attacking midfielders Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, Jurgen Klopp believes Lavia is the best choice to take Fabinho’s place at the base of Liverpool’s midfield.

Liverpool ought to swoop in and steal Mikel Arteta ‘next Joko Gvardiol’ as Arsenal makes a $22 million offer.

According to reports, Mikel Arteta has a center-back who will follow Joko Gvardiol’s example on his radar, but Liverpool should try to outbid him in the transfer market.

Joko Gvardiol joining Manchester City this summer already seems like a significant addition to Pep Guardiola’s squad. And it’s only fair that Liverpool supporters will look on the transaction with a great deal of envy, especially given the urgent need for the club to add more center-backs at Anfield.

Given that he grew up supporting Liverpool and that Jürgen Klopp prefers to use a high press, high line system at Anfield, Gvardiol would have been the ideal fit. Unfortunately, the club was unable to afford the $99 million (£78 million/€90 million) price tag.

However, there are still many players available who fit Liverpool’s budget, including one who is following Gvardiol at Dinamo Zagreb.

Center back Josip utalo, 23, a Dinamo Zagreb academy product like Gvardiol, has even shared the field with Manchester City’s new acquisition for the club’s youth teams, including in the UEFA Youth League match against Liverpool in 2019.

Compared to Gvardiol, utalo was more of a late bloomer; his big break at Dinamo came the same year that Gvardiol left the team, and his former teammate took advantage of that time to make the first team after spending time on loan at NK Istra.

Utalo is a tall, swift presence in the back who is calm under pressure. He would be a perfect fit for Liverpool’s back line because he is comfortable playing on both the left and right side of a back four.

To demonstrate his talent, according to Wyscout, he had the second-best defensive duel success rate in the Champions League last season, winning 79.14% of his challenges despite playing teams like Chelsea, Red Bull Salzburg, and AC Milan.

Jamie Carragher sent Liverpool a transfer message, as Philippe Coutinho prepared to sign with yet another new team and Romeo Lavia asking price revealed

Your Liverpool FC morning roundup focuses on yesterday’s breaking transfer news, including who the Reds should sign next and Philippe Coutinho’s career taking yet another unfortunate turn.

Dominik Szoboszlai was acquired by Liverpool from RB Leipzig for £60 million, according to an official announcement.

The Reds team is looking good ahead of their return to the AXA Training Centre on Saturday for preseason, bringing to an end this week’s hotly contested transfer pursuit.

There are numerous players expected to follow Alexis Mac Allister and now Szoboszlai through the door from all of Europe’s top divisions, so the Reds aren’t showing any signs of slowing down in the transfer market either.

Former defender Jamie Carragher gave Jurgen Klopp a tip earlier this year while discussing Sky Sports’ coverage of the Premier League as to who he should pursue next.

With his new club, Coutinho is in negotiations.

Philippe Coutinho, a former midfielder for Liverpool, is demonstrating that sometimes the other side’s grass isn’t actually greener.

He may have won some of the sport’s top club awards since leaving Merseyside in January 2018, but he hasn’t yet felt the same level of love, adoration, or playing excellence that was evident when he was a player at Anfield.

It has not gone as planned at his most recent club, Aston Villa. Due to injury issues and Steven Gerrard’s replacement with Unai Emery, the Brazilian is unable to win over the Villa Park faithful and has been left in the dark.

It now seems that they want to get rid of them and are willing to suffer a financial loss to make a transfer possible.

More news………

Liverpool has now informed the player’s agent that if the asking price drops, they will sign him.

Romeo Lavia’s agents reportedly received a message from Liverpool saying that they should lower their client’s asking price if they want to pursue the Southampton midfielder.

The Reds are reportedly interested in signing the young Belgian player, according to journalist Ryan Taylor. Lavia is currently valued at £45 million, but Liverpool won’t make an offer for the 19-year-old unless the Saints reduce their demand.

Arsenal and Chelsea are the other two Premier League clubs vying for the midfielder, and Liverpool is one of them. Lavia, who might be the Reds’ third arrival of the window, is now reportedly being courted by the Merseyside giants, who now appear to be in the driver’s seat.

Taylor stated: “As for Lavia, from what I understand Arsenal are reluctant to meet the £45m valuation set by Southampton. No move will be made, though, unless the asking price is reduced. Additionally, teams like Liverpool, Chelsea, and United have been mentioned, though I am not very familiar with their interests.

“But I’m sure Chelsea and Liverpool are interested, and they’ve told the player representatives that they might be willing to sort of formalize their interest if the asking price is lower,” she continued.
”.

Lavia’s demand may force Liverpool to accept a loss.

Given how excellent the midfielder was for Southampton last season and his young age of just 19, Lavia’s asking price of £45 million should not come as a surprise. And Liverpool may have to pay the price the Saints are asking for their midfield wonderkid this summer.

Since Liverpool has the money to spend, Southampton knows that if they stick to their guns this summer, they can get exactly what they want for Lavia.
After all, £45m for a midfielder who has just completed an entire season of Premier League football seems about right in the current financial climate of the division.

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 considering a summer move for versatile 17-goal striker

Liverpool have been linked with a transfer of Japanese attacking midfielder Keito Nakamura.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, Liverpool will have to compete for their signature with Premier League rivals Aston Villa.

The Japan international was in fine form last season, scoring 17 goals for LASK in all competitions in Austria.
The Reds need to add more goals and creativity to their midfield and Nakamura would be a great acquisition.

The 22-year-old can play as both a central attacking midfielder and a winger. His versatility will be an added bonus for Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp.

The striker is said to have a contract with LASK until the summer of 2025 and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool can agree a reasonable transfer fee for him.

The Japan international is expected to leave the Austrian club this summer and the possibility of a move to the Premier League would be an attractive option for him.

It would be a big step in his career and Liverpool could give him the platform to show his skills at a higher level.

It was a disappointing season for Liverpool and they failed to qualify for the Champions League. They need to improve their roster to get back into the top four and fight for big trophies again.

Signing someone like Nakamura would definitely help them improve in the final third.
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can fend off competition from clubs like Aston Villa and sign the Japanese striker in the coming weeks.

Jurgen Klopp, targets for Liverpool, had a “£86 million bid rejected” but currently for sale.

It has been reported that Juventus has listed a former Liverpool target for sale.

A player who Liverpool once offered £86 million for has reportedly been listed for sale. The Italian winger Federico Chiesa is said to be open to offers from Juventus.

Chiesa is just coming off of a challenging club season. Due primarily to fitness issues and injuries, he only made six starts in Serie A.

After rupturing his anterior cruciate knee ligament in January 2022, the 25-year-old was unable to start the season. For the rest of the season, he battled nagging issues.

Chiesa’s transfer to Liverpool was mentioned prior to the 2021/22 season. His reputation was enhanced after he scored the winning goal against Spain in the Wembley semi-final, which helped Italy win Euro 2020.

The forward was the subject of a £86 million Liverpool offer, according to Italian publication La Repubblica in July of that year. Gianluca Di Marzio, a transfer reporter, asserts that Juventus is willing to sell the 25-year-old two years later.

In order to raise money, according to Di Marzio, Juventus must sell players because of their financial situation following their failure to qualify for the Champions League and Europa League. Although no elite clubs have expressed a formal interest in purchasing Chiesa, he would accept a move to England.

According to Di Marzio’s statement to kelbet .
it, “Any Juventus player could leave due to the circumstance without Europe and the financial problems. They will be open to hearing proposals.

They are willing to let Chiesa go because of his strained relationship with Allegri and the fact that he hasn’t consistently played in his preferred positions this season.

“The issue is that he didn’t play a lot last season, so I don’t know if the top clubs in the Premier League will spend a lot of money on Chiesa without knowing his physical condition. He faced many difficulties the previous year.

He was wanted by Liverpool two years ago. They talked to his father about him, but he preferred to remain in Italy.

Everything has changed.

Any Premier League club would have his approval. Chiesa began his professional career at his hometown club Fiorentina, where he made over 150 appearances before transferring to Juventus in 2020, initially on loan. Since his arrival, he has made 94 appearances for the Old Lady, totaling 22 goals and 20 assists.

In the Thursday Nations League semifinal match against Spain, Chiesa, who has four goals for his nation, was hoping to add to his 40 international appearances.

Jamie Carragher summarize exciting Liverpool expectations for the remaining transfer window

Liverpool have already made a new signing this summer, signing world champion midfielder Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton, and Jamie Carragher is expecting more.

Jamie Carragher expects Liverpool to make three more signings this summer, having already signed Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister.

Mac Allister joined Liverpool for an initial fee of £45million on Thursday and Carragher believes his signing is just the start of the Reds’ transfer business.

He expects his former club to sign two more midfielders and a defender following the departures of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Carragher said: “I think they need at least one more midfielder.

I think Liverpool will eventually get two more midfielders and I think they will need another midfielder too. another defender.”

“Whether it’s a centre-back or a full-back remains to be seen. There’s a lot of talk about whether Liverpool will keep the system they finished the season with and that’s really interesting, but I think they’ll sign three more players. .”

Carragher also praised Mac Allister, calling the Argentine a ‘super talent’ and a ‘super signing’, adding: “He’s definitely a good player. We’ll see if he ends up being a good signing at the club.

start of the season.”
“Looks like he can do any position in midfield which will help Liverpool. He looks super talented and Brighton are a brilliant team.” All I would say is that many players who have come from Brighton have not carried their Brighton form to other clubs.

“Is it because they’re part of a special system at Brighton? I think it’s also a great asset for the price… a real bargain for a World Cup winner who has Premier League experience and is only 24.”

And Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has hinted that Mac Allister will play a variety of roles for his side, telling club media: ‘We are adding a very talented, very intelligent, very technically skilled boy to our squad and this is truly a fantastic news.
“I don’t think the world of football needs me to say too much about Alexis’ qualities as they are already well known, but it is clear that he is someone who can play in multiple positions in midfield and is an all-rounder, I would say.

Calm and composed, he is someone with the right game intelligence.
“Obviously he’s a player we’ve known for a long time and I’ve seen him grow from a little boy who entered the Premier League to a man who helped his country win the World Cup. is quite a journey.

The ‘wonderful’ solution provided by Jamie Carragher to Liverpool’s midfield transfer quest

Although improving the quality of their midfield is Liverpool’s top objective for the summer, Trent Alexander-Arnold may soon be moved into that position, according to Jamie Carragher.

In the long run, Trent Alexander-Arnold should be moved to midfield, and Liverpool should aim to get a new right-back.

Since joining the team under Jurgen Klopp, the Reds’ star has been a pillar in the back four, but while he has consistently contributed in the final third, his defensive abilities have long been questioned. His passing range and delivery continue to be crucial tools for the Merseysiders.

However, errors in his own half cost Liverpool, sparking a discussion over his role. With players like James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all departing this summer, forcing them into the market, Liverpool’s midfield has been allowed to mature.

This summer, with players like Alexis Mac Allister and Mason Mount rumored to be moving to Anfield, it will be especially important to add quality to the middle of the park. Liverpool had previously expressed interest in Jude Bellingham, but his price tag caused them to withdraw. Carragher, though, believes that finding a right-back could be a better option because few midfielders could match Alexander-Arnold’s caliber.

He said to Redmen TV: “I think his body language is drastically different when he’s in midfield compared to when he’s just playing in defense. I had the impression of watching a different player. No matter who we purchase, Bellingham could do more than TAA in midfield with some of the passes he makes.

“Whoever you acquire, whatever you spend, they can’t do more than Trent when Liverpool are on the ball. This kid is too talented to not be the focal point of this squad, thus I think after another season I’d be of the opinion that we should get a right-back and play him in midfield.

It’s getting to the point when he’ll lead the team and become its captain. Take away the criticism he receives, which is sometimes not well-deserved. He can get better at things, but he’ll never be great at them, so let’s concentrate on his strengths.

Klopp acknowledged toward the end of the season, when Alexander-Arnold was playing in midfield more frequently, that it might open up new doors for the team, particularly with young right-backs in the club’s ranks like Calvin Ramsay, who was signed last summer but has struggled to find minutes in his debut campaign.

The German remarked, “If you watch it back after we learned, it opened up different opportunities for us.”

For £10 million, according to Jamie Carragher, he would sell the 31-year-old Liverpool player.

If this summer there is a decent offer, Jamie Carragher has urged Liverpool to trade Joel Matip.

Matip has struggled this season, falling behind Ibrahima Konate in the Reds’ center-back hierarchy. The 31-year-old has just one year left on his contract, and Carragher told Redmen TV that Jurgen Klopp should consider offers of about £10 million for him.

“When I look at the defense, I believe Joel Matip has one more year.” The Liverpool great advised moving on if you received £10 million, regardless of the cost.

Carragher stated it’s imperative that Klopp sign a left-sided center-back when asked about any defense-related work the manager would look to undertake in the coming months.

The 45-year-old asserted, “I do believe we need a left-sided defender, a center-back with left foot.” We lack them, although many teams do. A player on the left side would offer something. If we’re going to keep playing in this system right now, they ought to be purchasing someone in that position rather than a left-back because I don’t believe we will. a center defender with full-back capabilities. There should be a left-sided center defender who can play left back, in my opinion.

Joel Matip faces summer transfer decisions.

This opinion of Carra is not very contentious. It would surprise Liverpool if someone offered anything close to £10 million for Matip in the upcoming months.

First and foremost, it is entirely logical from a business perspective. The Cameroonian joined Liverpool for free and has essentially achieved every goal possible. They would amazingly still be generating a sizable profit on Matip.

If they manage to hang onto him for another year, they will lose him for nothing, since they paid nothing for him in the first place.

It also looks like the proper time to let Matip go from a footballing perspective. He has served the club admirably and will be remembered as one of the best center backs in recent Liverpool history.

His impressive talents, however, have begun to fade during the past 12 months. Injury has undoubtedly taken a toll, but Liverpool already has a definite upgrade in Konate.

The time seems ripe for the Reds to go after a player that fits into their new playing style a little bit better than Joel as they try to revolutionize their approach to the game. On the other hand, if no offers come in, we’ll be content to have him for another year.

Due to Tottenham links, the manager anticipates the Liverpool player to depart this summer.

In recent weeks, Caoimhin Kelleher, a goalkeeper for Liverpool, has been linked to Tottenham Hotspur.

According to a recent report from The Irish Independent, Spurs is one of the teams interested in the Anfield goalkeeper.

In addition to Tottenham, teams like Brighton and Brentford are also interested in the Liverpool goalkeeper.

Kelleher has performed admirably for the Reds when needed. That hasn’t happened all that frequently, though.

After his performance in the League Cup final of the previous year, the 24-year-old was the talk of the red half of Merseyside.

He converted his penalty kick against Chelsea before blocking Kepa Arrizabalaga’s attempt to give his team the championship.

However, Kelleher has struggled to find chances. He has only made four appearances so far this year.

Hugo Lloris’ future at Tottenham is unknown, thus the club urgently needs a long-term replacement.

Now, Kelleher’s departure from Liverpool is anticipated, according to Republic of Ireland boss Stephen Kenny.

He actually wishes for this to happen because it would likely benefit Tottenham and other potential suitors.

According to BBC Sport, Kenny predicted that the player would move this summer.

And he needs to play games, therefore it can only be advantageous to him.

He hasn’t played as much this year, which has been a concern for him.

Our point

Tottenham has to start pursuing Kelleher as soon as possible.

He has demonstrated his abilities at the top level, and at only 24 years old, he still has a long career ahead of him.

Better yet, Kelleher is reportedly priced at £20 million. A young, “top-level” keeper would consider that a great deal.

Emiliano Martinez was infamously transferred from Arsenal to Aston Villa a number of years ago, and since then, he has flourished.

With a fantastic goalie who is currently being wasted at Liverpool, Tottenham might very easily achieve the same results.
