The Liverpool midfielder accepts his release as Jürgen Klopp ‘pressed’ for a $55 million Premier League transfer.
The Reds have reportedly ‘pressed’ for a midfielder who stood out last season, while another Liverpool departure has been confirmed this summer.Adding to Aberdeen is Leighton Clarkson.
In a move that would have made sense for both parties, Leighton Clarkson has officially left Liverpool and completed a permanent transfer to Aberdeen.
After spending the 2022–23 Scottish Premiership season on loan with the team, Clarkson makes the switch. He assisted them in finishing third behind Celtic and Rangers, the team’s usual title challengers.
The 21-year-old made 38 appearances, made eight assists on top of his six goals in all competitions, and contributed more than any other player outside of the top two teams with his 38 appearances.
The ECHO reported that the Dons beat out other interested clubs to sign Clarkson, whose performance earned him the title of Aberdeen’s Young Player of the Year. The Dons were obviously eager to keep Clarkson on staff.
Clarkson joined the Liverpool academy when he was six years old and was a member of the squad that won the FA Youth Cup in 2019.
In 2019, he would go on to play his first game for the first team against Aston Villa in the League Cup, but it was the right time for him to move on, and he has now joined a team that will compete in the Europa League (or at the very least, the play-offs) next season.
The midfielder, who impressed in his first Premier League season under Marco Silva, has previously been linked to the Reds. The 27-year-old allegedly had his eye on moving to Anfield, according to a report in The Daily Mail earlier this year.
Additionally, Liverpool and Manchester United reportedly considered signing Palhinha, but Fulham is unwilling to part with him just a year after making the purchase, according to Spanish outlet Sport (via Paisley Gates).
In addition, Bayern Munich has been linked to the midfielder. Fulham is reportedly asking for $55 million (£43 million/€50 million) to release the player, which would seem to be a reasonable asking price for any interested parties.

Khephren Thuram to Liverpool: “Deal agreed,” agent’s hint, Konate demand; Reds reply as such.
Express Sport informs you of Liverpool’s interest in Khephren Thuram and a potential summer transfer.Khephren Thuram, a midfielder for Nice, is still being linked to a move to Liverpool. The most recent tidbits of information about the Frenchman’s alleged summer transfer to Anfield are available from Express Sport.
Liverpool has focused this summer’s acquisitions on the midfield.
There is now room in the squad thanks to the departures of James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita.
While Fabinho will turn 40 later this year, Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara are both approaching their 30th birthdays. Alexis Mac Allister was already acquired by Liverpool from Brighton for a starting sum of £35 million.
They continue to pursue a deal for Thuram, who is valued at £50 million, though. A collection of the most recent transfer rumors is provided to you by Express Sport.
Reds answer, “Deal agreed.”.
According to reports, Thuram and the club have reached a personal agreement. Senior Reds sources are quoted by The Athletic as saying that the rumors have no merit.The player’s representatives and Nice have spoken with Liverpool. On a potential contract for the 24-year-old, though, no agreement has yet been reached.
A hint from the agent.
A potential move for Thuram has been alluded to by super-agent Rafaela Pimenta. This week on social media, she excited supporters as the face of Thuram.On her personal Instagram page, Pimenta wrote in a story that she had spent Wednesday at the Nice headquarters. The Ligue 1 team was hoping to facilitate Thuram’s transfer to England, and Liverpool supporters hoped she was in talks with them.
Demand from Konate.
Liverpool has been urged by Ibrahima Konate to complete a Thuram acquisition. The defender, who is currently on French international duty, acknowledged that it would be fantastic to see his countryman appear on Merseyside ahead of the upcoming season.
“I would be very happy for [Thuram] to come to Liverpool,” Konate said to RMC Sport. “I would take him under my wing and I would do everything for him to progress and become the player he wants to become.”.
“Khephren is like my little brother; I grew up around him.”. In the training facility, I was with his older brother, but I watched him develop.
“I observed him perform and advance to a level. It was amazing. even when he made his debut for the France squad. At the training, I first encountered him, and I was astonished by both his size and technical ease. “.

According to the released fixtures, Mohamed Salah will miss Liverpool’s matches against Chelsea and Arsenal.
Following Egypt’s qualification this week, Mohamed Salah will miss four Premier League games for Liverpool during the upcoming season due to his participation in the African Cup of Nations.After the fixtures for the 2023–24 Premier League season were made public, Liverpool learned of their schedule for the year.
The Reds’ 2018-19 campaign begins with a challenging trip to Mauricio Pochettino’s revamped Chelsea, followed by a Saturday, August 19 home match against Bournemouth. The final August game is a challenging away contest against Newcastle.
However, Jurgen Klopp’s team’s toughest stretch of the season seems to start around the Christmas season, starting in mid-December with games against top-four rivals Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle in a busy schedule. Their series of games will probably come to define their campaign.
The Reds will hope to have nearly their full roster for that stretch of games, but they are also prepared to lose star forward Mohamed Salah the month after that. At the African Cup of Nations, the Egypt will be represented by the Egyptian.
The competition will take place in Ivory Coast from January 13 through February 11, and, barring Egypt’s early elimination, Salah is likely to be unavailable for club selection for up to a month, which will be a blow to Klopp’s team.Salah played a part in his country’s 2-1 victory over Guinea on Wednesday, ensuring Egypt’s qualification for the competition. With Malawi and Ethiopia failing to advance from the four-team group, it guarantees Egypt will finish first in their group.
Accordingly, Salah will be unavailable for Liverpool’s upcoming four Premier League games, both halves of the EFL Cup semifinal, if the Reds advance that far, and the FA Cup’s first round matches, all of which fall during this time.
Prior to missing two of the Reds’ most important games of the season, at home against Chelsea and away against Arsenal, the 31-year-old will miss the Reds’ away match against Bournemouth, the first Premier League game of the 2024 calendar year, where they lost 1-0 and Salah missed his penalty.
The three-game stretch produced just one point for Klopp’s team during the previous campaign, and Salah is also scheduled to miss the match against Burnley at Anfield in early February should Egypt advance to the next round of the African Cup of Nations.
Despite the team’s unsuccessful season, Salah is still Liverpool’s star player and scored 30 goals last year. The Egyptian scored 19 goals in the Premier League and started all but one of Klopp’s team’s league games.

Liverpool confirms a transfer and four contract offers, Before moving on to Jürgen Klopp’s next phase of the plan.
Despite having a lot of work to do this summer, Jürgen Klopp and Jörg Schmadtke have already made some decisions regarding Liverpool, including a sale that happened today.Liverpool has stated that a number of players will be released this summer, but one has already transferred to a Europa League team, and four more have been given new contracts.
When their contracts expire, several players will join Roberto Firmino, Naby Keta, James Milner, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in leaving the team on free agency.
Liam Hughes, a goalkeeper who twice made the Reds’ matchday squad, Jack Bearne, Charlie Hayes-Green, Oscar Kelly, Fidel O’Rourke, Oludare Olufunwa, and Iwan Roberts are among those who have been fired. Jack Bearne participated in the 2019 Carabao Cup quarterfinal.
However, Paul Glatzel, a 22-year-old striker, and the young goaltending tandem of Jacob Poytress and Reece Trueman have received offers for new contracts. Additionally, Adrián has been given a new offer, which he is expected to accept in order to maintain his position as the third senior choice.
With significant gaps to fill in Jürgen Klopp’s side, the current strategy for Liverpool is to keep bringing in replacements for some of the players who have left the organization.
Ibrahima Konaté said this week, “I think the coach and those in charge of recruitment know that we need new players. We may be losing four players this year, according to me. We have to swap them out. What will happen if they are not replaced?
We are unable to play with children at this level.
Are we understaffed and lacking in quality. “.
Although Virgil van Dijk had previously made a similar claim, Liverpool has come to the realization that additional acquisitions are required to follow new midfielder Alexis MacAllister out the door.In a perfect world, those new hires would be accepted and confirmed before the players started reporting for preseason, with the first senior stars scheduled to return to the AXA Training Center on July 8.
According to Liverpool Dot Com, it was the right choice to let players like Firmino, Milner, and Keta go, but that will only hold true if the summer transfer business this year is successful. With plenty of time to work with Klopp and Jörg Schmadtke to secure additional incomings over the upcoming weeks, there is no reason to have any doubt that it will.
Liverpool has had plenty of time to plan what needs to be done and ensure that Konaté’s wish is fulfilled because the squad’s makeup has been clarified and has been widely known for some time. The Reds require at least one additional midfielder (ideally two) in addition to Mac Allister, and they may also require a third defender.

Due to his most recent Champions League performance, Carragher claims the 26-year-old Liverpool target will cost a “extra £10 million.”
Nicolo Barella, a transfer target for Liverpool, could end up costing more, cautions Jamie Carragher.Nicolo Barella, a transfer target for Liverpool, may end up costing an additional £10 million as a result of his heroics for Inter Milan in the Champions League, according to Jamie Carragher.
The Italian national team defeated SL Benfica 5-3 on the road and advanced to the semifinals with to goals from the international in both legs. Following their decision to back out of the signing of Jude Bellingham because to the associated costs, Liverpool has been heavily linked with a move for the Italian international.
Inter will play city rivals AC Milan in a highly anticipated, high-profile matchup in the Champions League semifinals thanks in large part to Barella.
Here is what Carragher warned Liverpool to do, taking into account his performances (h/t Liverpool Echo, via CBS Sports):
Barella was outstanding. In fact, there are rumors that he could join my club Liverpool for the upcoming season, which would increase the cost by an additional £10 million.
According to Transfermarkt, Barella’s contract with Inter expires in the summer of 2026. According to a recent Daily Mail rumor, the 26-year-old will cost Liverpool this summer somewhere about £65 million. Adding the £10 million
As a result of what Carragher indicated, it approaches £75 million.
It won’t come as a surprise if the Italian team does request a transfer price in that range given the player’s caliber and adaptability.Because good players are more expensive than they would have anticipated, Liverpool cannot continually backing out of negotiations. Owners must dig deep into their pockets and provide Jurgen Klopp with financial support if they want to restore the team properly. We cannot continually choose second- and third-choice targets and hope that it would be successful.
Barella excels as a box-to-box midfielder, possessing superior technical ability and a high work rate. He would improve a weak Liverpool midfield with his legs, technical abilities, and much more. Whatever his price, If Klopp is persuaded, then the club must approve the transfer.
After this season’s events, the Reds will have a significant summer. Following the Bellingham gaffe, Carragher discussed rebuilding trust in his piece last week. Can they really do that?

Jürgen Klopp must take into account a transfer fix as Liverpool can sign a seven-time league champion for free.
Liverpool will not sign Jude Bellingham this summer, but it does seem like a no-brainer to make a move for a proven winner who is free to sign.Liverpool will undoubtedly aim to revamp its midfield this summer, as numerous first-team stars are expected to leave on free transfers at the end of the current campaign. One winning streak may be a smart addition and help Jürgen Klopp resolve a significant issue.
Regardless of opinions on each player’s skill level, it is undeniable that the loss of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita, and James Milner will leave the German manager short on experienced midfielders. The advancing years of Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcântara are a minor worry as well. The question of how to fill the void was made even more difficult earlier this month when news broke that Liverpool had withdrawn from the competition to sign Jude Bellingham, a standout player for Borussia Dortmund.
A major factor in the decision of Anfield’s recruitment chiefs to back away from any potential deal was that the Reds could sign two or even three midfielders for the same price this summer. The teenager would have likely cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $158m (£133m/€150m) to prise away from the Bundesliga giants. Certain players, including Ryan Gravenberch, Mason Mount, and Alexis Mac Allister, to mention a few, have undoubtedly been connected with a move to Merseyside in the forthcoming transfer window, but they won’t likely be inexpensive, especially the latter two.
Of course, a few of these players might wind up costing about what Bellingham would have cost, so considering that, Liverpool may be wise to go into the free agent market as they aim to increase their numbers in midfield. With the seven-time league champion’s contract scheduled to expire at the end of this season, a move for Juventus and France midfielder Adrien Rabiot would make a lot of sense in this regard.
In fact, the 28-year-old is a player Liverpool are ‘interested’ in signing this summer, according to reporter Ignazio Genuardi, as the Parisian is still far from agreeing to a new contract in Turin. This week, the writer claimed on Twitter that Rabiot can clearly anticipate Liverpool’s interest once his contract with Juventus expires.The former Parisian is on Klopp’s radar when looking to bolster his midfield, yet the Old Lady will find it challenging to agree to her demands.
The 37-time France international has been linked with a move to the club as as far back as 2018, when he was still a player for Paris Saint-Germain, so many Reds supporters won’t be overly surprised to see him linked with the team. They will also have seen that the central midfielder has already expressed his affection for Liverpool, saying just last month in an interview with Tuttosport that he has “followed” the team since he was a youngster.
By the start of the following season, the Reds are expected to be severely lacking choices in midfield between the generally recognized peak ages of 26 and 31. Therefore, adding some seasoned reinforcements may be a prudent move. Due to his low potential for resale, it would be an unconventional move for FSG to approve a deal for a player in the midst of his prime, but perhaps the success of signing Milner eight years ago can persuade Liverpool’s owners to change strategy.
Additionally, the Frenchman has been quite impressive overall over the past year, according to the football metrics website FBref, ranking in the top 15% of all midfielders across Europe’s top five leagues for aerial battles won, touches in the opponent’s penalty area, and non-penalty goals.
Rabiot is undoubtedly a man who should, at the at least, be taken into consideration given Liverpool’s midfield situation and the rare opportunity to sign a serial winner in his prime. After more than 300 games, Milner is expected to leave this summer, therefore his accomplishments ought to be sufficient justification for FSG to consider adding another seasoned midfielder this summer. -
Mohamed Salah is a risk for Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, but he might do a U-turn today.
Jurgen Klopp may have to reconsider his transfer plans for Liverpool due to Mohamed Salah.Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp could face a nightmare scenario in January regarding Mohamed Salah which could force the club to change their minds about their transfer plans.
The Reds and the rest of the Premier League today announce their schedule for the 2023/24 season, and Klopp and company in particular will be keeping an eye out in a month’s time.
The Africa Cup of Nations returns in January and Liverpool will lose Salah by a month as they compete with Egypt in the Ivory Coast.
In previous years the Reds have gotten away with him missing just one or two league games on international duty in addition to domestic cup games, but it remains to be seen which games he will currently be unavailable for.
Liverpool are unlikely to sign another striker in the summer transfer window, as youngsters Ben Doak and Kaide Gordon hope to have a chance to impress in his absence, while Diogo Jota can fill in at right flank.
However, if Klopp and company are given a tough schedule for January and face their rivals at the top of the table, he would be reluctant to play against his better prospects and an injury to Liverpool’s front row could put them in a tough position this month. bring.Meanwhile, unless another striker is signed this summer, the Reds will drop a senior striker. Luis Diaz joined in January 2022, Darwin Nunez the following summer and Cody Gakpo in January 2023 have all moved to Anfield, while Sadio Mane, Divock Origi, Takumi Minamino and Roberto Firmino have all left or are about to leave.
The match announcement could force Liverpool to rethink their plans not to introduce a new striker, despite the need to overhaul Klopp’s midfield and the likelihood of defensive reinforcements being brought in to Anfield after their early run of form of the season.
The current Liverpool stars also believe more additions are needed after Ibrahima Konate spoke out about the club’s transfer policy.
“We have to replace them,” Konate told RMC Sport referring to Firmino, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner.
“If not, what do we do? Are we playing with an understaffed team that lacks quality? We cannot count on young people at this level. I’m sure the boss and the recruitment team know that we need new players.”
His view was later confirmed by Virgil van Dijk, who said: “It’s a good start to the transfer window [the arrival of Alexis Mac Allister], I hope we get some more quality signings.
” But he’s definitely one of the players we hope can make a difference for us in the coming years.”

Liverpool is currently ‘tracking’ a lightning-quick 22-year-old star at Anfield
The Dutch defender has been under Liverpool’s radar for “a long time.”.Journalist Fabrizio Romano exclusively revealed to GIVEMESPORT that Liverpool has been monitoring Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven for a “long time.”.
The 22-year-old has made an impression during his time in Germany. He played a significant role for the club last season in the Bundesliga and was ranked as the ninth-fastest player in the league.
Micky van de Ven: news from Liverpool.
According to Transfermarkt, Van de Ven made 36 appearances across all competitions as Wolfsburg finished second in the Bundesliga and just missed qualifying for the playoffs.
In light of recent remarks from the young defender, there is talk that he will leave the German team this summer, with Liverpool and other Premier League teams being linked to him.
The Dutchman was quoted by HITC as saying: “I am very good at Wolfsburg, so I don’t mind staying at Wolfsburg for another year. I would like to leave, though, if I have the chance.
“Of course, I read the entire speculation. I frequently communicate with my agent, so I am aware of what is happening. I’ll follow it to see where it goes. Perhaps the Premier League.
Exactly what?
”.
As a result, it would seem that the 22-year-old is eager to join the Premier League, whether it be with Liverpool or another team.Regarding Micky van de Ven and Liverpool, what did Fabrizio Romano say?
Although Romano reiterated that there hasn’t been a move for the defender as of yet, he acknowledged that Liverpool has been tracking the player for “a long time.”.
On Tuesday afternoon, Romano made the following statement in an exclusive interview with GIVEMESPORT: “Now for Van de Ven is a player they’ve been following for a long time. Let’s see if they choose to participate or not. However, the current focus is solely on following the player. “.
Micky van de Ven has been associated with Liverpool for what reason?
With Joel Matip’s contract set to expire in the summer of 2024, according to Transfermarkt, the Reds will reportedly permit the center-back to leave this summer if he so chooses.
Therefore, Jurgen Klopp will probably want to bring in a replacement to make sure his team has depth in this area. Van de Ven is a versatile center back who can also play left back at a very high level. He is young, only 22 years old.
The Dutchman would probably not be acquired as a starter right away, but as a player with potential to make the first team in the future.

Midfielder Khephren Thuram of Nice is a barrier for Liverpool to overcome.
Liverpool have cleared a hurdle in their pursuit of sympathetic midfielder Khephren ThuramLiverpool’s transfer efforts have been thwarted by their alleged interest in Khephren Thuram from OGC Nice. Apparently, initial talks between the two sides were ‘fundamentally negative’ and presented a challenge to Liverpool’s bid to land the talented 22-year-old midfielder.
According to Get French Football News via ECHO, Liverpool have clearly shown an interest in Khephren Thuram and the player has remained impressed with the club’s pitch in their first two encounters.
However, the negotiations have so far failed due to a lack of meaningful commitment from Nice.
It looks like the French club are showing little to no interest in parting ways with Thuram unless the player himself explicitly expresses a desire to leave.
This development represents a significant obstacle for Liverpool as they look to strengthen their options in midfield.
Thuram’s dynamic style of play and versatility make him a tempting target for Jürgen Klopp’s side, but Nice’s reluctance to take part in negotiations complicates matters.
Thuram has been tough for the RedsTime will tell whether Thuram will actively push for a departure from Nice or whether the club’s position will change in response to his possible desire to leave.
If Thuram expresses a strong desire to join Liverpool, it could potentially lead to more meaningful discussions between the two clubs.
As the transfer window progresses, Liverpool will certainly need to explore alternative targets in midfield should their search for Thuram prove fruitless
Liverpool fans will be monitoring the situation closely, hoping the club can overcome the challenges in the negotiations and secure the services of a promising talent like Thuram.
However, you understand that transfer agreements can be complex and alternatives may need to be considered if the initial pursuit fails.
Should negotiations progress or alternative targets emerge, Liverpool supporters will eagerly await further developments in their club’s search for midfield reinforcements. They need to show their confidence in the club’s ability to make sound decisions in the transfer market.

“There are no other access points,” Luton Town CEO Gary Sweet confirmed last month. “That’s the way it is. We may have the occasional lick of paint and new signage, but let’s accept it. “It pisses me off and makes me laugh when you get content on social media about an away game going through gardens.
It’s been like that since World War II or even before. Why is- it increased now just because we might get promoted to the Premier League? Erling Haaland won’t go through this entrance, he will go through the other shitty entrance we have.

Liverpool are looking to get off to a good start next season and face Manchester City in another title fight after a dismal 2022/23 seasonIt was a nightmare for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool after they narrowly missed out on a quadruple win and Champions League elimination.
But the Reds will take some solace from their strong finish to the 2022/23 campaign as they try to get back on the path to title defense next season.
Klopp’s men launched a late attack to oust Manchester United and Newcastle from the bottom two places in the top four, but narrowly failed.
But their seven-game winning streak will have boosted confidence and optimism at Anfield that they can come back strong in August.
A good start will be vital for their hopes – but who will they face in their first games? Stay tuned to Mirror Football for how the 2023/24 games will be released from 9am.
The new Nike 2023-24 Home Shirt is based on Bill Shankly’s final season as Reds manager 50 years ago. You can now pre-order men’s, women’s and children’s sets. The kit will be available in stores on May 18.

Jurgen Klopp’s side travel to London for their opener against the Blues on Sunday, August 13. Liverpool are hoping to start the season as leaders after a stuttering start last season.
The wait is coming to an end
The season has just ended and we are already looking forward to next season.
We are only two months away from being back in the Premier League. I hope for a better startThe Reds started the 2022/23 season with a 2-2 draw against Fulham and things didn’t go much better with a 1-1 draw at home to Crystal Palace followed by a 2-1 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Although Bournemouh’s 9-0 seemed to kick into gear, Klopp’s team never really recovered. They finished fifth in the Premier League after a late swap but failed to secure Champions League qualification.
It all starts here…
Liverpool won’t get him back last season, but the lessons Jürgen Klopp and his men learned could serve them better as they take on rivals Manchester City in another title fight.The Reds have been the only team able to truly challenge City’s dominance in recent years, with Arsenal taking their place in the running last season.
But while Klopp is still overseeing a squad overhaul, he will be confident that his squad can measure up to the defending champions as the new season begins.
Liverpool’s first six games could be crucial in lifting the mood around Anfield, while all eyes will obviously be on those crucial clashes with City, Man Utd and Everton when the match announcement drops.

Shirt numbers for Liverpool’s next signings will be available once the summer transfer window opens
Liverpool have already signed Alexis Mac Allister as the summer transfer window officially opens on Wednesday morningLiverpool can officially step up their recruitment campaign when the transfer window opens on Wednesday morning – although the Reds have already made their mark by signing Alexis Mac Allister.
After garnering rave reviews for his performances at Brighton – not to mention winning the World Cup this winter – Mac Allister was the obvious choice for Jurgen Klopp and his recruitment team after abandoning their initial plans to sign Jude Bellingham, joined by Real Madrid, oblige, put on hold the immense financial costs involved.
Mac Allister was signed for an undisclosed fee and was part of the budget, but Liverpool have been given considerable leeway in their search for new signings. France stars Manu Kone and Khephren Thuram are firmly on the radar, along with one or two unlikely (or impossible) targets.
Stark reports of Fede Valverde and Kylian Mbappe have surfaced in the past 24 hours. Although they are top players, finances play a role, as with Bellingham.
Mac Allister wore the number 10 shirt at Brighton during his time on the south coast and chose that shirt for his upcoming Anfield adventure.
However, with several players leaving the club, there are more attractive options for anyone to follow him through the door this summer;
No.7 – An iconic number for Liverpool fans dating back to Sir Kenny Dalglish, Kevin Keegan and other past heroes. In more recent times, Steve McManaman, Harry Kewell and Luis Suarez have worn that particular jersey while outgoing veteran James Milner has worn it for the last eight seasons.No.8 – Synonymous with Steven Gerrard in the last decade of his career at Anfield. Naby Keita was the most recent incumbent, although it was always going to be an extremely difficult question to replicate what Gerrard achieved as No. 8.
No.9 – Another team decision that will not be taken lightly. Ian Rush, Robbie Fowler and Fernando Torres have all scored goals aplenty with the number 9 on their backs and Roberto Firmino, one of the four high-profile summer players, will also need some emulation.
Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez may have seen it from home.
NO. 12 – Joe Gomez moved from number 12 to number 2 last season and has not been reassigned.Number 15 – Milner, Keita and Firmino weren’t the only players to leave Anfield this summer, as fans also said goodbye to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after six years at the club. He has been wearing the number 15 shirt since 2019.
No.16 – Free since Marko Grujic moved to FC Porto last summer. Didi Hamann is another previous owner.

ARSENAL TIPPED TO SIGN SADIO MANE, AN EX-LIVERPOOL STAR
Dean Saunders has advised Mikel Artetas Arsenal to sign former Liverpool star and current Bayern Munich player Sadio Mane this summer.The former striker has suggested that if Sadio Mane joins Arsenal he might ‘win the league title’ as the club look to take the next step after returning to the Champions League this season.
Last summer Mane left Liverpool for Bayern Munich for £35million (Sky Sports) but things have gone horribly wrong for the 31-year-old and Saunders thinks ‘what a signing’ he would be for Arsenal against talkSPORT.
Gunners aside, there are indications the Senegalese star could return to the Premier League this summer after his time in Munich went horribly wrong.
From the incident in which he beat Leroy Sane to being a substitute on the last day of the season when Thomas Tuchel’s side won the Bundesliga title in spectacular fashion.
But while other teams have been named over a possible Mane signing this summer, Saunders has decided to throw Arsenal’s name into the mix.
“I have one for you, it could win you (Arsenal) the championship,” said Saunders. “Mane. What a signing that would be! He Plays everywhere. Plays center.”
The mane would not suit Arsenal now
The problem here is that he prefers to play from the left or from the centre, now that Arteta is quite on that left channel and a true striker is more needed in the center than a player like Mane.
Also, Mane has just come off a season of struggles and isn’t getting any younger, so from that perspective he wouldn’t fit the profile Arsenal have been looking for in recent years.
It probably just shows how much North London has grown that they probably wouldn’t push for Mane’s signing now.

Liverpool is currently ‘tracking’ a lightning-quick 22-year-old star at Anfield
The Dutch defender has been under Liverpool’s radar for “a long time.”.Journalist Fabrizio Romano exclusively revealed to GIVEMESPORT that Liverpool has been monitoring Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven for a “long time.”.
The 22-year-old has made an impression during his time in Germany. He played a significant role for the club last season in the Bundesliga and was ranked as the ninth-fastest player in the league.
Micky van de Ven: news from Liverpool.
According to Transfermarkt, Van de Ven made 36 appearances across all competitions as Wolfsburg finished second in the Bundesliga and just missed qualifying for the playoffs.
In light of recent remarks from the young defender, there is talk that he will leave the German team this summer, with Liverpool and other Premier League teams being linked to him.
The Dutchman was quoted by HITC as saying: “I am very good at Wolfsburg, so I don’t mind staying at Wolfsburg for another year. I would like to leave, though, if I have the chance.
“Of course, I read the entire speculation. I frequently communicate with my agent, so I am aware of what is happening. I’ll follow it to see where it goes. Perhaps the Premier League.
Exactly what?
”.
As a result, it would seem that the 22-year-old is eager to join the Premier League, whether it be with Liverpool or another team.Regarding Micky van de Ven and Liverpool, what did Fabrizio Romano say?
Although Romano reiterated that there hasn’t been a move for the defender as of yet, he acknowledged that Liverpool has been tracking the player for “a long time.”.
On Tuesday afternoon, Romano made the following statement in an exclusive interview with GIVEMESPORT: “Now for Van de Ven is a player they’ve been following for a long time. Let’s see if they choose to participate or not. However, the current focus is solely on following the player. “.
Micky van de Ven has been associated with Liverpool for what reason?
With Joel Matip’s contract set to expire in the summer of 2024, according to Transfermarkt, the Reds will reportedly permit the center-back to leave this summer if he so chooses.
Therefore, Jurgen Klopp will probably want to bring in a replacement to make sure his team has depth in this area. Van de Ven is a versatile center back who can also play left back at a very high level. He is young, only 22 years old.
The Dutchman would probably not be acquired as a starter right away, but as a player with potential to make the first team in the future.

Midfielder Khephren Thuram of Nice is a barrier for Liverpool to overcome.
Liverpool have cleared a hurdle in their pursuit of sympathetic midfielder Khephren ThuramLiverpool’s transfer efforts have been thwarted by their alleged interest in Khephren Thuram from OGC Nice. Apparently, initial talks between the two sides were ‘fundamentally negative’ and presented a challenge to Liverpool’s bid to land the talented 22-year-old midfielder.
According to Get French Football News via ECHO, Liverpool have clearly shown an interest in Khephren Thuram and the player has remained impressed with the club’s pitch in their first two encounters.
However, the negotiations have so far failed due to a lack of meaningful commitment from Nice.
It looks like the French club are showing little to no interest in parting ways with Thuram unless the player himself explicitly expresses a desire to leave.
This development represents a significant obstacle for Liverpool as they look to strengthen their options in midfield.
Thuram’s dynamic style of play and versatility make him a tempting target for Jürgen Klopp’s side, but Nice’s reluctance to take part in negotiations complicates matters.
Thuram has been tough for the RedsTime will tell whether Thuram will actively push for a departure from Nice or whether the club’s position will change in response to his possible desire to leave.
If Thuram expresses a strong desire to join Liverpool, it could potentially lead to more meaningful discussions between the two clubs.
As the transfer window progresses, Liverpool will certainly need to explore alternative targets in midfield should their search for Thuram prove fruitless
Liverpool fans will be monitoring the situation closely, hoping the club can overcome the challenges in the negotiations and secure the services of a promising talent like Thuram.
However, you understand that transfer agreements can be complex and alternatives may need to be considered if the initial pursuit fails.
Should negotiations progress or alternative targets emerge, Liverpool supporters will eagerly await further developments in their club’s search for midfield reinforcements. They need to show their confidence in the club’s ability to make sound decisions in the transfer market.

Alternative Mason Mount is set to show Liverpool why he should be Jurgen Klopp’s next signing
Liverpool will be targeting plenty of Under-21 talent, including a midfielder who could be the perfect transfer and who Jurgen Klopp will absolutely adore.The European Under-21 Championship is always a hotbed of talent, but perhaps there will never be a tournament as strong as the current edition, which takes place in Georgia.
There have probably never been so many potential Liverpool transfer targets to watch for Jurgen Klopp.
At this summer’s tournament, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Mykhailo Mudryk will leave their senior squads to represent Georgia and Ukraine U21 teams respectively.
When you consider the former was one of the best players in Europe’s top five leagues this season and the latter one of the most expensive transfers last season, that’s huge.
Meanwhile, Liverpool targets such as Khéphren Thuram, Micky van de Ven, Manu Koné, Roméo Lavia and Ryan Gravenberch will also compete for their respective nations, despite now being veteran professionals.
Of course, Liverpool scouts will be busy, especially with Gabri Veiga also at the tournament, who Fabrizio Romano says will remain a player on the Reds’ radar.
The Spain international might be the most interesting player for Liverpool to watch despite all the exciting stars in the tournament.
Veiga plays on the right side of midfield, unlike most midfielders associated with Liverpool. That already makes it a unique target, but that’s not the only aspect of its quality that sets it apart from the rest.He is also one of the few players who would be undeniably capable of bringing a new dimension to Liverpool.
Earlier this year, Liverpool looked to sign Mason Mount, and in profile Veiga is a very similar type of player, capable of getting into the box and developing possession.
Last season, he scored 15 La Liga goals in 36 games and stood out for his overall offensive prowess.For example, according to Wyscout, Veiga has scored the third most contacts in the opposition penalty area (2.3 out of 90) of any midfielder in La Liga this season. He is also top 15 for progressive runs (1.97) and top 10 for completed dribbles.
Impressively, of the players whose teams ranked in the bottom ten of La Liga’s league table for average aggregate possession according to FBref, only one player has scored more across both stats than Veiga in Kang-in Lee.
And this is an important factor to consider, as players who play on teams with more ball possession will always average more dribblers and progressive passes, as well as more touches.
But while Veiga’s offensive stats are impressive, his defensive performance is just as impressive.
He is a player who puts pressure and has a lot of defensive activity in the last third of his opponents, very much in line with Klopp’s philosophy of defending himself from the attack.His speed and stamina make him a real nuisance for opposing defenders and an absolute weapon for a team playing in a gegenpressing system. Veiga’s pressing is forceful and not necessarily reflected in his defensive strength.
He averages a lot of interceptions and defensive duels for a player in his position, but what’s not necessarily reflected in the numbers is how much ground he covers and how well he eliminates opponents. to close them to force errors.
It’s an aspect that stays under the radar at Veiga and that’s why it makes perfect sense for Liverpool.
Over time, he will also work under Klopp’s tutelage at Anfield to become more effective not only in pressing but also in defence.
All in all, Veiga is essentially tailor-made for Liverpool and the European Under-21 Championship will likely only confirm that to fans eager to taste his quality.

Kylian Mbappé could initiate a transfer effect to give Liverpool chance at $108m ‘untouchable’
Kylian Mbappé could leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer, with a possible transfer carousel opening up options for Liverpool’s scouting squad.Kylian Mbappé surprised the footballing world on Monday night when he questioned his future in France.
The global superstar sent a letter to his club, Paris Saint-Germain, informing them that he would not be exercising the option to extend his contract for another year (according to Sky Sports).
As a result, Mbappé currently has a contract that expires in 12 months, meaning PSG stand to lose him for free unless he is sold this summer.
What will happen remains to be seen, but it is curious that such details emerged just a week after Karim Benzema left Real Madrid to join Saudi Professional League club Al-Ittihad.
At the moment, the Spanish giant does not have a starting striker at the club, so a transfer from Mbappé could work perfectly in the coming months. However, if Real Madrid explore the prospect of buying the Frenchman, they may need to raise cash through the sale of players.
Real Madrid chairman Florentino Pérez is said to be on the verge of signing former Liverpool target Jude Bellingham this summer (per Sky Sports). The English prodigy looks set to sign for Borussia Dortmund, but signing him will cost an exorbitant price.
Real Madrid may struggle to fund high-profile moves for Bellingham and Mbappé in the same window, which explains why Pérez and Carlo Ancelotti may be willing to sell some players. On tour at the Santiago Bernabéu squad, one player in particular seems ideal for Jurgen Klopp’s needs.
Federico Valverde is fully committed to Real Madrid and maybe that’s an understatement.
Earlier this year, the Uruguay international was asked about his future in the capital while filming Apple TV’s upcoming documentary about the Spanish club. “To get me out of Real Madrid they have to kill me,” he said.
In fact, Valverde has been labeled ‘untouchable in this team’ by his current manager. The South American midfielder is just 24 and well ahead of his prime, but if Real Madrid are distracted by Mbappé and Bellingham, he could be a player to make himself available.Spanish outlet Relevo recently reported that Valverde is no longer as non-transferable as he once was. Real Madrid want to keep him but could raise a significant amount of transfer funds for Pérez to pitch to Mbappé and Bellingham, while Liverpool are on the hunt for midfielders.
El Nacional say Liverpool have made an initial $65m (£51m/€60m) offer for Valverde. But this has apparently been firmly rejected, with Pérez refusing to even discuss the possibility unless a $108m (£86m/€100m) offer is made. Alexis Mac Allister has already been added to Klopp’s ranks this summer but more additions are needed.
Additionally, many of the midfielders being considered for a move to Anfield tend to prefer the left side of the pitch, including Mac Allister, Khéphren Thuram and Manu Koné to name a few, but Valverde is a right-wing player. , eh would benefit the Reds.
He is as intense, hard-working and industrious as can be. The Uruguay international looks like the right fit for Klopp and joining Klopp would fill a key need, but there is still a lot to do this summer for the transfer carousel to finally benefit Liverpool in the market.
Overall, Klopp needs to keep an eye on the situation between Bellingham, Mbappé and Valverde as he looks to revamp his engine room ahead of next season.

Liverpool is prepared to offer £30 million to acquire the Serie A superstar.
Liverpool might make a £30 million bid to sign Federico Chiesa to test the Juventus waters.
According to the Italian publication Calciomercato (via Liverpool Echo), Liverpool will make Juventus a £30 million offer to sign Italian international Federico Chiesa this summer as a test.According to the report, the player’s future in Turin is in doubt, and Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Newcastle United are also interested in him.
Chiesa has missed a lot of Juventus games since playing a key role in Italy’s victory at the Euros 2021. Totaling 62 games, he has missed them.
for a player who was at the pinnacle of his career after success on the international stage, in the last two seasons (2021–2022 and 2022–2023), which is a lot.
The 25-year-old forward, who can also play as the number nine, is a versatile player who can play on either wing. He plays with great pace, great finishing ability, and good technical value.
In the last three transfer windows, the club heavily invested in bolstering the forward line. Now is the time to spend the majority of the budget on top midfielders, and possibly add one or two defenders as well.
Finally, even if Liverpool is set on signing Chiesa, his injury history over the previous two seasons isn’t promising (as evidenced by the numbers mentioned above). After losing Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Klopp would prefer not to have any more injury-prone players on his team.
