Liverpool are now working on two midfield signings

Liverpool and manager Jurgen Klopp are keen to add two more signings in midfield this summer, sources have told Football Insider.

This news comes on the heels of the impending departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to Saudi Arabian clubs.

Football Insider revealed on Monday (17 July) that Liverpool expect to lose both stars this week for a combined fee of around £50m, with Henderson and Fabinho now finalizing transfer formalities.

The Reds were already down in midfield with the departures of Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner at the end of their respective contracts.

Liverpool have already moved this summer to add Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai but are now turning their attention to further reinforcements. A well-informed source has told Football Insider that a defensive midfielder is seen as a ‘must’ – as the fallout from Fabinho’s departure is set to wreak havoc on the Merseysiders squad.

A separate signing will come in to replace Henderson, who plays in the more conventional central midfield.

The Reds have specific interests in a number of other names, including Southampton’s Romeo Lavia, Borussia Mönchengladbach star Manu Kone – and Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram.

Klopp’s side will play in the Europa League in the 2023/24 season after finishing fifth last season.

Moreover, Arsenal are preparing a new move for Liverpool’s goal.

While Manchester United made a transfer request, Sadio Mané and Philippe Coutinho might reunite.

An overview of the Liverpool Euro rivals, including the possibility of a reunion between Sadio Mané and Philippe Coutinho. Atlanta has demanded that Manchester United transfer.

It would be a significant change for Liverpool if Jordan Henderson and Fabinho both left during the same summer, especially when added to the departures of seasoned stars like James Milner.

Jörg Schmadtke, the new sporting director at Anfield, appeared to be very busy in the background organizing a proper rebuild and team reset, giving the impression that Jürgen Klopp was about to experience a significant change.

In truth, however, even though the evolution should have possibly happened more quickly, especially in midfield, it did start a while back. Liverpool lost Roberto Firmino after Sadio Mané was sold to Bayern Munich last summer.

A similar procedure is now being carried out in midfield. Due to the youth of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alisson Becker (and Ibrahima Konaté, relative to his position), Liverpool’s defensive rebuild can be more gradual, but that too needs to start as soon as possible.

It was difficult for Liverpool to part with Mané and Firmino, but doing so allowed them to be first in line to snag attacking talent, which Manchester United is now doing. And as for Mané, he has had trouble since leaving Anfield, much like Philippe Coutinho.

Transfer chasing by Sadio Mané and Philippe Coutinho.

Mané, a former forward for Liverpool, has been informed by Bayern Munich that the German champion will not stand in the way of the 31-year-old if he wants to leave. While the player is content to stay, that is typically code for wanting a sale.

Now, 90Min reports that Steven Gerrard wants to sign both Mané and Coutinho for the Saudi Pro League in addition to pursuing Jordan Henderson for Al Ettifaq.

Mané reportedly turned down interest from Saudi Arabia earlier in the summer, but Bayern Munich is hoping to persuade him to switch teams because there aren’t many other clubs in Europe willing to compete for his services.

Mané can undoubtedly perform better than the Saudi league, but the majority of the players who have moved there this summer can as well, according to Liverpool .

Henderson could also perform much better, but money talks.

Offer from Manchester United was declined.

Rasmus Hjlund, a forward for Atalanta, has reportedly become unavailable as Erik ten Hag searches for a new number nine for Manchester United, according to The Athletic.

Manchester United offered Donny van de Beek and unwanted Fred as part of a proposed deal for the Danish forward, but the Serie A club rejected that “out of hand.”.

The 20-year-old, who joined Atalanta from Sturm Graz in the summer of 2022 and scored 10 goals last season, is seeking a cash-only contract.

Although the Reds have a ton of offensive talent, Manchester United really needs a world-class number nine to advance. It can be challenging to complete a deal, though; Liverpool beat the Old Trafford team to the signings of Darwin Nez and Cody Gakpo.

Kylian Mbappe urges Jurgen Klopp to make the first offer in the Liverpool transfer roundup.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp’s transfer activity shows no signs of slowing down, with midfielders Fabinho and Jordan Henderson wanted by clubs in Saudi Arabia

Jurgen Klopp has already signed two players this summer, so who will be the next star to move to Merseyside?

Alexis Mac Allister was the first player to join Klopp’s squad during the current spell, with Liverpool initially paying £35m for the Brighton midfielder – a bargain in many people’s eyes.

The World Cup winner was soon followed by Dominik Szoboszlai after the Reds activated the Hungarian captain’s £60m release clause at RB Leipzig.

Mbappe gives approval

Klopp is looking to rebuild his side after a disappointing fifth-place finish in the Premier League last season. The Liverpool manager has already greeted a number of fan favorites this summer, including Roberto Firmino and James Milner.

According to CaughtOffside, Liverpool are interested in Rennes winger Jeremy Doku. The 21-year-old Belgian international scored seven goals and provided four assists for Rennes last season and has two years left on his contract.

Liverpool are said to be prioritizing strengthening other parts of their squad but could dive in for Doku if the price is right. Napoli, Milan and Aston Villa would also consider an offer for the player, who would prefer to move to the Premier League.

Doku has many admirers, including Kylian Mbappé. The World Cup winner told France Football in 2021: “I was recently talking to my father about a player who impressed me from the stands… with his speed, this is Doku, in Rennes.”

Rennes have reportedly put a €40million price tag on Doku. As quoted by Get French Football News, Mbappé added: “In five years as a professional I have never seen anyone demonstrate such power from a standing start.”

Saudi latest.

Fabinho will remain a Liverpool player for now. As reported by the Liverpool ECHO, the Reds and Al-Ittihad are still in talks over a £40m transfer. The 29-year-old Brazilian international has been left out of Liverpool’s squad for their pre-season training camp in Germany.

Club captain Jordan Henderson is also wanted by a Saudi club – Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq – and his future is at stake. But unlike Fabinho, the 33-year-old midfielder is in Germany with the rest of the Liverpool squad.

If Fabinho or Henderson leave Liverpool this summer, Klopp should sign another central midfielder. Sofyan Amrabat, the Fiorentina star who helped Morocco reach the semi-finals of last year’s World Cup in Qatar, is rumored.

According to the Daily Mail, Fiorentina want £25m for Amrabat. The 26-year-old’s contract is just one year old and is wanted by several clubs, including Manchester United. In Liverpool’s eyes, this could be problematic for two reasons.

United can offer Amrabat something Liverpool cannot – Champions League football – and the player has worked with Erik ten Hag before. Amrabat’s breakthrough as a professional came in Utrecht when Ten Hag was in charge of the Dutch team.

After two deals, Liverpool can use their strong relationship to land the ideal midfielder.

Comment: Liverpool can complete a significant transfer by building strong ties with other clubs, Liverpool can take advantage of their relationship with Brighton to close a deal on Moises Caicedo, who is a transfer target. Since many players have moved from the South Coast to Merseyside and vice versa, the Premier League clubs enjoy a great working relationship.

The Reds just finished contract talks with Brighton for playmaker Alexis MacAllister worth £35 million. The Argentine joined well in advance of the start of preseason, and those negotiations were reportedly easy.

Numerous reports claim that Liverpool is now interested in competing with Chelsea for Caicedo, a former Brighton teammate of Mac Allister. The Reds need midfield reinforcements as Jordan Henderson and Fabinho are now likely to leave, despite claims that Chelsea hold the upper hand in a potential deal.

Liverpool already had a shortage in midfielders, so if the two leave, they will need yet another player. They will have Caicedo, who is a star, ready to join Mac Allister in Klopp’s team right away.

They might benefit from utilizing their strong connection to Brighton. The Seagulls were willing to accept a cheap £35 million price for Mac Allister after engaging in vigorous discussion. The opposite move has recently been made by Adam Lallana and James Milner.

With Klopp currently looking for another new midfielder, the club can now resume discussions regarding Caicedo. While Brighton retained their former head coach Graham Potter, defender Marc Cucurella, and a large number of their backroom staff, Chelsea may have a more challenging relationship with Brighton as a result.

Levi Colwill is another player that the Blues won’t transfer to a South Coast club. Liverpool is rumored to be interested in the England U21 defender as well.

As for the 2023–24 Premier League season, Liverpool manager Klopp anticipates fielding a very different team than the one that struggled mightily the previous campaign. The German is counting on the club’s young players to stand out in preseason to make up for the lack of new signings.

“There aren’t many new players right now, but [we have] a lot of young players, obviously, in and young players for whom the door is open, who can play a different role next season,” Klopp said, according to the club’s website.

Conor Bradley, Ben Doak, and Bobby Clark are all a year older and all looking fantastic. Bobby Clark also grew in some way, which is typical. They can all take on slightly different roles if they so choose, and as I previously stated, there is room for that. ”.

Liverpool transfer summary: Jordan Henderson supported as Jurgen Klopp approves Newcastle offer

Liverpool fans are still eagerly awaiting Jordan Henderson’s move to Saudi club Al-Ettifaq while Fabinho also heads to the Middle East.

Liverpool’s job in the summer transfer window is far from done as Jurgen Klopp prepares for some high-profile departures.

The Saudi Pro League could potentially wreak havoc for the Reds as Jordan Henderson is still awaiting a huge cash offer from rivals Al-Ettifaq. Brazilian midfielder Fabinho is almost certain to join Al-Hilal for a transfer fee of £40million.

Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister and RB Leipzig player Dominik Szoboszlai have already arrived at Anfield but further reinforcements could soon be needed.

Klopp could have done without this headache as he prepares his team to recover from a difficult season. Fowler backs Henderson for ‘outrage’
Former Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has backed Jordan Henderson amid criticism over his move to Saudi Arabia.

Fowler, now manager of Saudi Premier League club Al-Qadsiah, said: “I can see the usual outrage has been instilled after top figures in British football got involved in the Saudi Pro League.”

“It was Jordan Henderson’s alleged wages that sparked the outrage. I’ve never really understood why footballers’ wages are such a sensitive issue when the billions the financiers earn are never questioned. I don’t I’m not going to judge Jordan, Steven.” Gerrard or anyone else who went to Saudi Arabia for work.”

Newcastle United have made an £82million bid for Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, according to WinWinAllSports. He’s a player previously linked with Liverpool and Klopp made no secret of his admiration for the star last year:

“He’s a really good lad and very fast and you have to defend him together in times like these.” said the German coach. “If he has the advantage of the first movement, he is already gone.

“You have to try to be there when the ball goes in, but if you can’t do that you have to be protected because he’s quick, he’s cheeky, he goes in, he can go out, that always makes it very difficult. ”

Former Reds star attacked by Tuchel
A return to Liverpool seems highly unlikely for Sadio Mane, but the prospect of him leaving Bayern has certainly been mooted.

Coach Thomas Tuchel has given a stark assessment of the striker’s first season in Germany, plagued by injuries and disappointing form. The Senegalese star was even banned and fined by his club in April after he allegedly beat teammate Leroy Sane. “Sadio actually had an underwhelming season and fell short of expectations,” he said.

“The competitive situation is very high for him with Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry. We have a setup that makes life very difficult for Sadio. Even the player knows it, he knows my opinion and that of the club.”

Ryan Gravenberch makes a comeback and Jürgen Klopp considers a target for Manchester United in the latest Liverpool transfer news.

Liverpool transfer news: Ryan Gravenberch, a star for Bayern Munich, has returned, and Jürgen Klopp is reportedly eyeing a player that Manchester United likes (again).

Fabinho, the Brazilian number six who is expected to move to Saudi Arabia, must be replaced at the center of Liverpool’s midfield. The Reds will need to make at least one more change in the pitch’s middle after they already made one.

Jordan Henderson, the team’s captain, has drawn interest from the Middle East in addition to Fabinho, though no bids for the former Sunderland player have yet been made public. In contrast to Fabinho, Henderson is currently in Germany with his Liverpool teammates.

Liverpool will be required to find replacements should one, the other, or both players move. It will need to be someone who arrives with decent caliber as well, given the experience between the two.

The precise names on the shopping list of new sporting director Jörg Schmadtke have not yet been revealed, but Liverpool must make the right choice for the position of Fabinho’s replacement.

When Fabinho leaves, a few names have been mentioned as potential replacements. Here is the Liverpool . com opinion on the transfer rumors that have been swirling around the Reds today.

Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat.

Sofyan Amrabat, a World Cup star who was linked to Liverpool in January, could take Fabinho’s place as a replacement. The Moroccan is one of the names being considered, according to The Athletic.

Amrabat is a naturally talented holding midfielder, but at the age of 26, he needs to advance significantly quickly to meet Liverpool’s standards. Although he’s a good player, Fabinho wasn’t at his best.

The Independent had earlier this week’s report that the midfielder was also being looked at by Manchester United. However, given Erik ten Hag’s other ventures, any action would be dependent on sales.

There would be a lot of “what if?” if Liverpool did sign Amrabat this summer when he was first reported to be available in January, according to Liverpool . com. It is not that simple, of course, but Amrabat would not be the kind of game-changing addition that most are hoping for post-Fabinho regardless if the deal had simply been made six months in advance.

Ryan Gravenberch(Bayern Munich)

According to Sky Sports reporter Melissa Reddy, Ryan Gravenberch of Bayern Munich, who Liverpool had interest in earlier in the summer, is another player on the list to replace Fabinho.

Instead of standing out as a player who can play as a lone holding midfielder, Gravnberch is more of an attack-minded player who can double-pivot alongside another player.

According to Liverpool.com, Gravenberch might change the way he plays if Liverpool sees something in him. Alternately, Gravenberch is not the main target; Liverpool has its sights set on a different player. The Bayern Munich star has already stated that, if at all possible, he would prefer to remain with the German powerhouses, with a lack of playing time currently being his only complaint.

Liverpool’s transfer list could be a Jorg Schmadtke smokescreen for four players

This article contains affiliate links, we receive a commission on all sales we generate.

Liverpool have four players shortlisted to replace Fabinho who is moving to Saudi Arabia, but the list of names released by the club could be a smokescreen. The deals the Reds do often come with very little notice, such as the sudden arrival of Dominik Szoboszlai. But on Saturday, as Fabinho made his way to Al-Ittihad for a reported £40m fee, a list of four goals was shared.

Man City’s Kalvin Phillips, Southampton’s Romeo Lavia, Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat and Bayern Munich’s Ryan Gravenberch made up the quartet. Indeed, given that Liverpool like to go about their business quietly, they could be more serious about exploring alternative options that haven’t been mentioned, at least not outside of Jörg Schmadtke and Jurgen Klopp’s WhatsApp chat.

Florentino Luis
Florentino is a popular name among Liverpool fans on social media. The 23-year-old defending champion became a key player for Benfica last season. The tenacious Portugal U21 international made 54 appearances in a historic campaign after two seasons on loan at Monaco and Getafe.

Florentino’s numbers compare well with Fabinho’s and his profile suggests he would be an ideal successor as he is strong on the ball, passing and dribbling, but also from distance.

He has a £103million release clause in his contract, but there have been rumors he could be available for a third of that. However, Benfica are known to be astute negotiators. The ball-winning talent over six feet has a low salary of around £22,000 a week which is good for Liverpool, but he is under contract until 2027 which means his current club are in a strong position.

Youssouf Fofana
Liverpool wanted Aurelien Tchouameni last year, before the Frenchman swapped Monaco for Real Madrid. In his compatriot Youssouf Fofana, who also plays for the principality, they could attract a stylistically similar midfielder.

The 6ft 1ins Fofana is 24 years old and a French international with 10 caps. Fofana is adept at intercepting the ball and interrupting play. He has played at least 33 of 38 Ligue 1 matches in each of Monaco’s 38 Ligue 1 matches in each of the last three seasons, proving he is sustainable himself.

With Fabinho strong in dogfights, Fofana managed to replicate that strength. He is also capable of playing as a number 8 if needed and can advance in possession. Fofana – under contract until June 2025 – currently earns less than £10,000 a week and would therefore fit within Liverpool’s salary structure.

Tyler Adams

One player who, like Lavia and Phillips, has Premier League experience is Leeds’ Tyler Adams. The American arrived just 12 months ago after training at RB Leipzig for three and a half seasons. The tireless 24-year-old is a pressing monster and is around 1.70 meters tall. As such, he could act as a No.8 rather than a No.6, although he could be an N’Golo Kante-type ground cover for Klopp.

Adams has hinted he wants to stay at Leeds to help bring Los Blancos back to the Premier League. But the lure of playing for a club of Liverpool’s size and prestige might be too tempting an offer for a player with 36 US caps and nearly 250 club appearances to turn down.

There is talk of a £30m relegation clause in his contract after costing the Yorkshire club £20m a year ago. However, a concern for Adams could be that he has suffered multiple muscle injuries in recent seasons and Liverpool desperately need midfielders that are as shock and impact resistant as possible.

Edson Alvarez

Ajax defensive midfielder Edson Alvarez is the least likely of the four, but he is still a candidate and is still in Amsterdam despite being long linked with a move. The Mexican international is the oldest of the quartet at 25 (26 in October) but also the most experienced with 260 club selections and 67 selections in Mexico.

The industrious Álvarez has been a regular at Ajax for four seasons, so he is adept at possession, but lives above all by winning and destroying. The 6-foot 1-inch defensive midfielder is under contract until 2025 on his wages of £35,000 a week and is expected to cost between £35m and £40m.

A former Chelsea target for former boss Thomas Tuchel, Alvarez can also operate at centre-back which is a useful skill. However, West Ham are already in contact with Ajax for him and he could be better suited at the level of the Hammers than Liverpool.

Liverpool FC are considering a move from Manchester United as two players missed out on pre-season returns

The deals between Liverpool and Saudi Arabia could change United’s midfield transfer plans

Liverpool have arguably always been the star players when it comes to midfielders in this summer’s transfer market, but the extent to which Jürgen Klopp has to reshape that part of his squad has become astonishing.

They were caught dozing off at Anfield last summer but could go from one extreme to the other. James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain leave on a free transfer, Fabinho goes to Saudi Arabia, Jordan Henderson could follow and Thiago is the subject of interest from Barcelona.

Klopp thought they had done most of his work this summer with the signings of Alex Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, but uncertainty surrounding three of his senior players could force them back into the transfer market.

When United appoint a new captain to replace Maguire
Manchester United are unlikely to appoint their new club captain until the team begins their pre-season tour of the United States. Harry Maguire confirmed in a statement on Sunday afternoon that he had been ousted as United captain after consulting with Erik ten Hag. However, he has not yet been named as a replacement as the coach wants to inform the whole squad of his decision before it is publicly announced.

Due to training and travel schedules, the entire squad won’t be together until they fly to New York on July 19 for the first leg of their pre-season tour, before facing Arsenal on July 22 at MetLife Stadium . the captain is not expected before then.

Two United players will not return to train due to sale plans

Eric Bailly and Alex Telles failed to appear for Manchester United’s internationals’ first day of training on Saturday. United consider Bailly and Telles to be this summer’s must-sellers and neither are expected to be included in the tour squad leaving for the US on Wednesday.

Bailly, 29, and Telles, 30, are both out of contract next year and their one-year extensions will not be activated unless United sell them in the summer or winter transfer window.

Telles played on loan at Sevilla last season, where he started in the Europa League final at Roma. Saudi club Al-Nassr are interested in signing the Brazilian left-back

July 17, 2023
Aurélien Tchouameni likes a brutal post aimed at Liverpool in the face of transfer rumors

Aurelien Tchouameni, a star for Real Madrid, liked a tweet directed at Liverpool amid ongoing transfer rumors.

Tchouameni moved to Madrid in June 2022 for a hefty reported €80 million sum.

It was said that Liverpool were interested in the Frenchman before he moved to Spain, but he ultimately chose Los Blancos.

Since the futures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho were up in the air recently, Liverpool has been linked with Tchouameni once more.

Al Ettifaq, a Saudi Professional League team coached by former Liverpool player Steven Gerrard, is interested in signing Henderson.

While Al Ittihad, a Saudi Arabian team, has also been linked to Brazilian Fabinho.

Tchouameni has liked a post on Twitter, seemingly dispelling the rumors that he is once again linked to Liverpool.

After losing James Milner, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, and Naby Keita, it is well known that Liverpool is currently rebuilding its midfield.

Jurgen Klopp has so far signed Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and Hove Albion and Hungary captain Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig.

In order to prepare for the 23/24 season, Liverpool may be forced to make additional investments in their midfield unit. The futures of Henderson and Fabinho are still up in the air.

A £40 million bid for Fabinho was reportedly made by Al Ittihad to Liverpool on Saturday. As a result, Fabinho did not travel to Germany with the team for their training camp there.

According to Sky Sports, Fabinho has been given permission to get a medical exam and complete the transfer procedures.

The 29-year-old joined Liverpool in 2018 following a reported £43.7 million transfer from Monaco.

After that, he made 219 appearances for the Liverpool club, winning the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, and UEFA Super Cup along the way.

LIVERPOOL WILL “COMPETE FOR TITLE,” SAYS STEVIE NICOL If the five-man transfer agreement is approved

Stevie Nicol still expects Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool to contest the Premier League title next season, although he will lose veteran duo Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to Saudi Arabia, as well as bringing in three new faces.

The Anfield legend was asked what the “realistic expectations” are for Liverpool next season, whether they “replace the whole of midfield” and whether Jordan Henderson and Fabinho will leave.

Now, two players, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, have already entered, so one can imagine that another big name will join as the aforementioned duo complete a potential five-man transfer deal.

While Klopp’s midfield will undergo massive and perhaps unplanned changes as a result, the exceptions remain the same for Nicol, as he told ESPN.

As Manchester City are aiming for a fourth consecutive Premier League title, the last team to win the title outside of Treble winners have been Liverpool themselves, and have gone over 90 points on other occasions but been overwhelmed by the incredible power that Pep Guardiola has built upon. Can those at Anfield go down that road again next season? Nicole thinks so.

“They’re fighting for the title,” Nicol said of Liverpool’s expectations for next season, when they replace the entire midfield following the possible exits of Fabinho and Henderson.

“Simple and clear. If you sign three quality players in this way, you add them to the striker and you have to expect the defense to not concede another 50 goals. Then you have to compete.”

Will Liverpool push for the Europa League?
The Reds have reached three Champions League finals under Klopp, including one against Tottenham Hotspur in Madrid.

But now that they’re in the Europa League it will be interesting to see how they balance that competition versus the Premier League.

Many will argue that the Premier League is much more important than the Europa League, so in the end, will Klopp throw his best players into the marathon because they can’t afford to lose the Champions League again?

Yes, winning the Europa League will get you there too, but aiming for the title must be the main goal.

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.

More news…….

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.

Jordan Henderson’s transfer from Liverpool was completed today after a £82 million agreement, according to sources.

According to sources cited by Football Insider, Liverpool will move forward with the sale of Jordan Henderson to Al Ettifaq in a deal worth a total of £82 million on Saturday.

The 33-year-old captain of Anfield has signed a two-year deal with the Saudi club that includes an option for a third year. As a result of the agreement, his salary will increase to £700,000 per week, or more than £36 million per year.

On Friday afternoon, Football Insider exclusively reported that there had been progress in negotiations for a £10 million deal and that Henderson had informed Liverpool of his desire to leave.

The English international’s illustrious 12-year Anfield career will come to an end with the completion of the move, the Saudi club is confident.

Given that their captain has two years left on his contract, Liverpool is anticipated to agree to a price of around £10 million.

Thursday (13 July)’s Football Insider report claimed that if Henderson told Liverpool he wanted to leave, they would not obstruct his transfer.

The Reds are reportedly on track to lose a fourth senior midfielder this summer after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita, and James Milner all left on free transfers.

The futures of Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara, both of whom have drawn significant interest from the Middle East, are also in question.

Given Henderson’s influence at Anfield since joining in a £16 million move from boyhood club Sunderland, it’s possible that his departure will be the one that causes the most uproar.

After club legend Steven Gerrard left in 2015 and took over as manager of Al Ettifaq, he was named Liverpool’s captain.

Liverpool won the Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup, Champions League, Uefa Super Cup, and Fifa Club World Cup under Henderson’s captaincy.

In other news, Liverpool is preparing a formal move for Romeo Lavia as three other deals get closer.

More news………

There is “blood in the water,” according to a journalist, as Liverpool tries to sign a player for £40 million.

Levi Colwill, a defender for Chelsea, is the target of Liverpool, who genuinely believe they can sign him.

Colwill has emerged as the Reds’ top target to bolster their defense this summer. However, the general consensus has been that it will be extremely challenging to pry him away from Chelsea.

But, according to author Graeme Bailey, that might no longer be the case. Bailey asserted during an appearance on 90min’s Talking Transfer Podcast that Liverpool is becoming more optimistic about the possibility of a transfer.

According to our understanding, Liverpool believes they can free him, the journalist says. The opportunity for Levi Colwill to play for Chelsea is guaranteed.

Although Chelsea doesn’t want him to leave, players who don’t commit to their futures are sold. There is something in this that I believe Colwill finds appealing.

Liverpool is pushing for this quite hard because they can see that there is blood in the water. At Anfield, there is a conviction that they can land him because he is their top target right now.
”.

Colwill’s support from Liverpool is growing.

It will cost Liverpool a fortune to sign Colwill this summer, whether or not you believe it. It won’t be cheap if Chelsea eventually caves and sells the 20-year-old.

Brighton has reportedly given up after having a £30 million offer rejected. The Seagulls allegedly had a £40 million offer on the way, but it has not yet been delivered.

They appear willing to pay whatever sum is required on behalf of Liverpool in order to bring Colwill to Anfield.

They appear to think the England U21 star wants the transfer and are prepared to put Chelsea to the test. However, no firm offer appears to be forthcoming as of yet.

Liverpool’s current attention is perhaps too much on improving their midfield. They still don’t know how that part of the roster will look come next season, but they are fairly settled in defense.

Jurgen Klopp still has four excellent center-back options if Colwill isn’t signed, for instance. The repercussions will be worse if he fails to bring in another midfielder.

Therefore, it might be some time before we actually see any movement with regard to Colwill going to Liverpool. But perhaps that’s okay as long as his situation at Chelsea is precarious.

The pursuit of Neymar by Liverpool could confirm Jürgen Klopp’s earlier assessment of Chelsea.

Todd Boehly and Chelsea are demonstrating with Neymar that they still have a ways to go as Liverpool continues to be the benchmark in terms of transfers for new Premier League owners.

Last season, Liverpool was unable to observe the transfer chaos elsewhere with its customary smugness. The events at Chelsea would have inspired a healthy dose of schadenfreude in any other campaign.

Despite the disastrous nature of Todd Boehly’s first full season as an owner, Liverpool still managed to finish seven places and 23 points ahead of an utterly disastrous Chelsea team that spent unfathomable sums on the transfer market but only managed to finish middle of the table. There was no reason to celebrate, however, as Jürgen Klopp’s team fell short of even the most minimal goal of a Champions League finish.

Now there can be no question that Liverpool blundered in the transfer market. Klopp’s hope that the current crop could continue to be competitive for another season was unfounded, as the midfield was neglected for far too long. He paid dearly for it.

But Liverpool has moved quickly to address the issue this summer. Once again using two release clauses to secure shrewd deals for two of the most promising young midfielders available, FSG has returned to the methods that made them the transfer market’s undisputed kings for a considerable amount of time. Those swoops exhibit all the characteristics of traditional business.

After all, it was this organization that affordably acquired Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané, Andy Robertson, and a host of other players for the club. Virgil van Dijk, Alisson, and Fabinho transformed rivals into all-around champions when it did make a significant investment. Liverpool may have lost its way, but it still maintains its status as the gold standard for how to compete in a world of state-backed behemoths.

Chelsea has adopted a very different strategy to address its issues, one that appears to be focused on pouring ever more money at the issue. Sales have dominated Boehly’s early summer, with a mad rush to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations before June 30; however, with recruitment now on the agenda, there are no early indications of lessons learned.

Links to Neymar, according to Le Parisien, who claims a transfer is being considered, are the best example of this. Despite Boehly’s apparent good intentions, such as his purchase of a feeder club in Europe and his focus on luring young talent, his continued efforts to court marquee names are proof that his greatest desire is a status symbol.

Simply put, a professional soccer team has no business acquiring Neymar this summer. The 31-year-old has advanced past his prime years, is increasingly plagued by injuries, and will command a staggering salary. Even PSG has come to the conclusion that a squad full of flashy superstars will not win the game’s top awards, but Boehly is determined to push forward and arrange a meeting with Mauricio Pochettino.

Surprisingly, Neymar was one of the better pressers in Pochettino’s PSG front line, with neither Lionel Messi nor Kylian Mbappé contributing anything at all. But it is unquestionably not the former Barcelona player who will best suit the Argentine’s brand of play.

I have some sympathy for Chelsea because things are not going well. Before the Reds’ 4-3 victory over Tottenham in April, Jürgen Klopp told Sky Sports, “I think they’re a top, top team.

“On the other hand, it’s encouraging to see that building a team takes more than simply assembling a group of elite players and expecting things to work out. They clearly underestimated it, which made their coaches’ jobs nearly impossible.

“You cannot train on two pitches or have two changing rooms; you must build relationships and foster a sense of teamwork. I’m only mildly pleased about it because of that. “.

Finding players who work with the system is Liverpool’s top priority. Everything else is secondary to that, even international reputation. Boehly has obviously not yet grasped that lesson and may be about to guide Chelsea into yet another costly error. FSG and its model may have been caught off guard in recent years as competitors grew more sophisticated and wealthy, but there is only one favorite to correct the errors of the previous campaign.
