Alexis Mac Allister: Liverpool hoping to sign midfielder from Brighton and Argentina midfielder

Liverpool have been in contact with Brighton about the signing of Alexis Mac Allister, who has an escape clause of between £45m and £55m in his contract; Jurgen Klopp wants to renew the midfield after the departure of James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and Arthur Melo

Liverpool are hoping to sign Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister this week.
The two Premier League clubs have been in contact over Argentina’s World Cup winner, who has an escape clause of between £45m and £55m in his contract.

Mac Allister signed a new contract with Brighton last October, extending a deal which was due to expire this summer but now runs until summer 2025, with an option for a further 12 months

Once the release clause is met, personal terms should soon be agreed between Liverpool and Mac Allister.

The 24-year-old’s arrival could kick-start what looks set to be a busy summer at Anfield, with Jurgen Klopp looking to refresh a side that have missed out on Champions League qualification this season.

With Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner all leaving the club on expiring contracts, midfield is a particular area Liverpool need as Arthur Melo returns to Juventus at the end of his loan. Milner is about to move to Brighton and his move to Amex is nearing completion.

Brighton finished just one place behind Liverpool in the Premier League and will be playing in Europe for the first time next season.

Mac Allister joined from Argentinos Juniors in January 2019 but spent the rest of the season with the Argentine club before spending the first half of the 2019-20 season on loan at Boca Juniors.

Mac Allister finally moved to Amex in January 2020 and made 112 appearances for Brighton, scoring 20 goals and collecting nine assists.

He had a breakthrough in the 2022/23 season, scoring 12 goals in all competitions and has become a key part of Roberto De Zerbi’s impressive squad.

Mac Allister also established himself in Argentina’s midfield at the World Cup in November and December, starting six games – including the final – as Lionel Scaloni’s side won the tournament in Qatar.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Borussia Mönchengladbach) Manu Koné

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

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

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

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

(Juventus)Federico Chiesa

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

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

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

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

Liverpool’s new sporting director given clear chance in pursuit of transfer target

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been linked with a number of players looking to overhaul his squad this summer, including Borussia Monchengladbach star Manu Kone.

Liverpool’s decision to appoint a new sporting director could pay off immediately by signing Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Manu Kone.

Jörg Schmadtke took up his new role at Anfield this week, replacing Julian Ward after a short 12-month tenure. But the German won’t have much time to go under the table as the club have a big summer ahead of them after a disappointing season.

The 59-year-old is accused of helping Jurgen Klopp build up his reinforcements. Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner and Roberto Firmino are all heading for the exit. A deal for Brighton midfielder Mac Allister is approaching, but it promises to be just the start of the summer’s buying spree

And many German and French media now associate the Reds with Koné. The player arrived from Toulouse two years ago and has impressed with 30 appearances this season as his side finished 10th in the Bundesliga.

And Liverpool’s ties to the club they once famously beat in a European Cup final have now inadvertently strengthened. German publication Kicker says Nils Schmadtke, son of Jorg, will take over as sporting director of Mönchengladbach.

The 34-year-old previously worked at the club as a scout and also held roles at FC Köln and VfL Wolfsburg. In the latter he worked with his father, and now any negotiations are likely to be aided by family ties. Kone has played for France at Under-18, 19 and 21 levels, although he has not yet been called up to the full national team. Signing him would be seen as a move to left field from Klopp, but also one that is unlikely to break the bank as FSG are unable to match the financial might of rivals Manchester City.

The club is also closely associated with Declan Rice, but the £100m asking price is a potential stumbling block.

Mason Mount is another potential target, although Klopp faces stiff competition from Manchester United, who have reportedly agreed personal terms.

Liverpool may have perfect Europa League XI next season after five summer transfers

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will play in the Europa League for the first time since the 2015/16 season.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is actually tasked with building two starting XIs ahead of next season. While the pairing of Alexis Mac Allister and Khephren Thuram can reasonably be expected to slot into the first team, three more arrivals could boost a second tier XI for the Europa League. As the Reds prepare to end their long absence from European second-tier club competition, Express Sport shows you where to line up

With Caoimhin Kelleher set to step out of Alisson’s shadow and leave Liverpool this summer, the Reds would do well to bring in a new number 2. New sporting director Jorg Schmadtke would be a fan of Ron-Robert Zieler, and he could become one. of his first acquisitions in the work. Zieler was once a full German international and made over 300 appearances for Hannover in two seasons. With a year remaining on his contract, signing the 34-year-old would certainly be a cheap way to start a row with Adrian over who starts in Europe.

Defense: Ramsay, Gomez, Van de Ven, Tsimikas

It is now an open secret that Micky van de Ven is ‘dreaming’ of a move to Liverpool and the 22-year-old Wolfsburg star could link up with Joe Gomez in the Europa League alongside Ibrahima Konate and of Virgil van Dijk, the centre-back duo. will likely remain in the starting XI.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson will also be difficult to oust as full-backs, but next season’s European clashes will present opportunities for youngster Calvin Ramsey and long-serving substitute Kostas Tsimikas to shine.

Midfielder: Henderson, Kone, Jones

With Mac Allister and Thuram considering a move to Anfield, Klopp could be spoiled for choice in midfield. They will likely be joined by Fabinho in the starting trio, which will see Jordan Henderson and Curtis Jones join potential new signing Manu Kone on Thursday night.

The Borussia Mönchengladbach youngster won’t come cheap at £40m, but his arrival would add some depth to the Reds squad, as Thiago Alcantara can also come when fit, while Stefan Bajcetic will also play as he matures .

Attack: Elliott, Nunez, Jota

After successive windows of steady recruiting at the top, Klopp already has enough options to field two completely separate front threes. Mohamed Salah is the only candidate nailed for the first XI, but Cody Gakpo in the center and Luis Diaz in the left are the most likely candidates to join him.

In the Europa League, Harvey Elliott and Diogo Jota remain alongside Darwin Nunez.

LIVERPOOL GET READY TO PERSUADE THE ALABA EQUIVALENT OF BUNDESLIGA

From the heart of the Bundesliga to the legendary pitch of Anfield: Wolfsburg centre-back Micky van de Ven is reportedly in the sights of Liverpool FC.

As Jurgen Klopp tries to strengthen his defense and recover from a disappointing season, a new Dutch candidate offers relief.

A LOOK AT LIVERPOOL’S NEW TRANSFER DESTINATION

Van de Ven, the 22-year-old Dutch wonderkid, has always impressed in the Bundesliga, putting him on the radar of new Liverpool sporting director Jörg Schmadtke.

The Reds are reportedly showing serious interest in the defender as a cheaper alternative to RB Leipzig’s €110m talent Josko Gvardiol.

Football-Oranje.com sources suggest the Dutch talent could possibly move to Merseyside for a plausible sum of €40m (£34m).

This number seems more acceptable for Liverpool given that Liverpool are focusing on the midfielder in the next transfer window following the departures of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

WHY VAN DE VEN MAKES COMPLETE SENSE FOR RED

In the just-completed Premier League season, Liverpool conceded 47 goals, a weakness which prevented the team from winning a major title and finishing in the top four.

This lack of performance made it clear that the team needed both defensive reinforcements and midfield stability.

Van de Ven’s performance metrics show that a player is ready for this challenge.

With 33 Bundesliga appearances and 11 goals conceded this season, the Dutch defender’s 88% completion rate, average of 1.4 tackles and 3.1 clearances per game is a compelling argument. The Dutchman’s ability to win 64% of ground duels and his 70% dribbling rate further underline his versatility and strength.

ALABA COMPARISONS: MORE THAN JUST HYPE?
While he shines in his central defensive role, Van de Ven is equally adept at left-back. Journalist Ronan Murphy praised the Dutchman as “thriving”, even drawing comparisons to Real Madrid’s David Alaba.

The Austrian legend, called an “incredible talent” by Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola, offers remarkably similar skills to Van de Ven, according to FBref. This data-driven parallel reinforces the case for the Dutch prodigy’s potential at Liverpool.

German football legend Lothar Matthaus once said of Alaba: “Not only does he perform defensively at 100 percent of his abilities, but he seals spaces, pings passes and runs with the ball at high speed.”

If Van de Ven continues to similarly improve his game, he could very well emerge as one of the most dynamic defenders in the Premier League, a prospect that should excite Anfield loyalists.

With his sights set on a strategic rebuild, Liverpool sporting director Schmadtke is to make the switch to the Dutch centre-back. This could be the crucial piece to the puzzle as Liverpool attempt to re-establish their foothold in England’s elite.

Report: Liverpool reach ‘full deal’ for Mac Allister

Football Insider say the Reds have activated the Argentinian’s release clause and agreed personal terms as they prepare to make the midfielder their first signing of the summer.

Following reports earlier this week that the father of Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has traveled to Merseyside to finalize the deal for his son’s move to Liverpool, Football Insider reported today that the move is almost business suit.

FI quoted unnamed sources as saying that Liverpool today activated Mac Allister’s release clause with an offer of between £55-60m and have now also concluded negotiations with the Argentinian on personal terms. If the report is true, Liverpool are willing to triple their wages in an offer of £150,000 a week.

Coverage of this possible signature still comes largely from less credible sources, but it really does feel like this is one of those “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” situations.

Mac Allister’s Instagram post today appears to be a farewell without saying goodbye to Brighton and Seagulls manager Roberto de Zerbi has admitted he expects the midfielder to leave this summer .

Add to that the fact that current rumors suggest Liverpool are almost done with things and there aren’t any other potential landing spots that get much attention, it looks like Mac’s transfer Going to Liverpool is more a question of when than of ob.

The heartbreak at Liverpool transfer will soon be confirmed following the Sky Sports Journal update

Liverpool fans are set for a busy summer of transfer activity, both inbound and outbound, but it looks like news many feared is about to be sanctioned.

As Florian Plettenberg reports: “News #Bellingham: Dortmund want to finalize Real Madrid deal very soon, as always reported by @SPORT1.” Understand: a total package of 150 million euros is unlikely.

“Real compares him internally to Tchouameni (€80m). We expect a possible envelope of 120 to 130 million euros including bonuses. #BVB has not yet received an official offer.

The Sky Sports Germany reporter’s update will perhaps be the most interesting as the whole deal including bonuses is priced at ‘€120-130m’ or around £110m .

This price seemed to have been both sufficient to secure the services of Jude Bellingham and the amount we had set was too high for us to compete with other clubs or completely refresh the squad with what was left of transfer chat .

With Jurgen Klopp set to sign four midfielders for around £60million, each time will tell if the right decision has been made for us to rule out a move.

It’s safe to assume we’ll spend at least £110m this summer, but it’s a good balance of quality and quantity when it looks like we’ll need multiple players in the same window.

But for now, a player who seemed viable and one who could be a fixture of our club for years seems completely out of our league.

Alexis Mac Allister speaks out about leaving Liverpool for the “next club”

Liverpool target Alexis Mac Allister has been asked about Jurgen Klopp’s interest as summer move to Anfield draws closer

Alexis Mac Allister has said he is “very calm” about the prospect of a move to Liverpool as his transfer from Brighton draws closer.

Mac Allister has emerged as a key target for Jurgen Klopp as he seeks to reshape his midfield this summer after the Reds failed to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in seven years.

While Liverpool have shown no signs of an agreement with the club, Argentinian sources said last week that the 24-year-old was set to make the move for a transfer fee of around £60million.

Mac Allister cried after Brighton’s final Premier League game at Aston Villa last Sunday as he helped the Seagulls qualify for Europe for the first time in their history.

If I don’t leave the club I will be very happy there, but I am aware that there are opportunities (to move) and if there is a good offer for the club and for me, we will evaluate it.

“I have no doubt that (the Premier League) is the best league to play in and therefore I am aware that my next club would like to play in the Premier League. I really enjoy being there.”

Mac Allister added: “The goal is to keep getting better as a person, as a player, to win more titles. I think that’s my short-term goal and it always will be because I’ll always be the same person and I’ll always be the same person.” .” I want to be a little better than the day before, so I focus a lot on that.

Romeo Lavia agreement is hijacked by Liverpool, according to sources.

Liverpool have contacted Southampton to express their interest in signing Romeo Lavia, sources have told Football Insider.

The Merseysiders have turned their attention to signing the 19-year-old as they look to sign a quality defensive midfielder this summer.

Liverpool are looking to secure a key presenter in the signing of Alexis Mac Allister who, Football Insider revealed on Wednesday, has agreed a full deal to join Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Liverpool also want a stronger midfielder and Lavia is a firm target for them in the summer window.

The Southampton star has also attracted a lot of interest from Chelsea and they have been working behind the scenes on a deal while Arsenal are also following suit.

Mauricio Pochettino’s new side were the first to sign Lavia, but Liverpool’s approach suggests a stunning hijacking is now at stake.

Man City have a £40m buy-back clause for Lavia, who left the Etihad Stadium for the Saints last summer (2022).
This option will become active in the summer of 2024.

Liverpool have a particularly urgent need for central midfielders following the departures of Naby Keita, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, while Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara are all aged between 29 and 32.

Despite relegation, Lavia made an impression during his season at Southampton, making 26 Premier League appearances in 35 appearances in all competitions.

He was also called up to represent the Belgium national team, making his first first-team cap in March.
In other news, Liverpool are in a four-way race to catch the relegated star.

Liverpool £34m target hints his desire transfer destination after Anfield visit to watch Arsenal match

Liverpool wouldn’t need much temptation to get their man.

Liverpool target player Micky van de Ven has revealed playing for the Reds would be a ‘dream’ come true. The Wolfsburg centre-back has been linked with a move to Anfield this summer after sporting director Joerg Schmadtke intervened.

Schmadtke, a former Wolfsburg football director, was responsible for van de Ven’s signing from Dutch club FC Volendam in 2021 and is said to be a huge admirer of the player forever.

Wolfsburg are asking for a transfer fee of around £34m for the 22-year-old, who happens to be a Liverpool fan. Van de Ven attended Liverpool’s 5-1 win over Arsenal at Anfield in December 2018 and loved the atmosphere. The Dutchman now hopes he can really experience it in a Liverpool shirt.

“I was once at the Liverpool stadium with my dad,” he said in January. “It was Christmas on Boxing Day. Liverpool versus Arsenal. It was madness. When “You’ll Never Walk Alone” comes up, it gives goosebumps, it was very cool. It’s a dream to play there.

He added: “If you ask someone: What is the best league in the world? Then you will most likely get England as an answer. Many of the best players play in the Premier League. I can well imagine playing in the Premier League at some point.

Van de Ven is one of several transfer targets for Liverpool ahead of what is sure to be a very busy transfer window for Schmadtke and Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool are looking to revamp their entire midfield after missing out on Champions League football for the first time in seven years. The Reds are looking to sign at least three midfielders before the start of next season and are actively pursuing Chelsea’s Mason Mount, Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister and Bayern Munich’s Ryan Gravenberch.
Meanwhile, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita will depart in the coming weeks.

Liverpool must move quickly in their negotiations with the £70 million star at Anfield.

Liverpool warned during talks with £70m star.

Liverpool will need to be quick to secure the signing of Alexis Mac Allister, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed exclusively to GIVEMESPORT.

Mac Allister has been investigated as one of Liverpool’s main targets this summer and the Reds are expected to speed up negotiations in the coming weeks.

Transfer news Liverpool – Alexis Mac Allister

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are increasingly confident of finalizing the signing of Mac Allister from Brighton & Hove Albion this summer.

That’s according to a 90 Minutes report, which said the Merseyside team have identified Mac Allister as a prime target in midfield.

It comes after months of rumors of a Liverpool-Jude Bellingham link and the Reds finally being forced out of the race in April (The Athletic).

Determined not to let Bellingham’s setback derail their entire summer transfer plans, Liverpool quickly turned their attention to Mac Allister with a deal said to be imminent.

The report claims the Argentina midfielder is interested in a move to Anfield, with the possibility of working under Klopp being a key selling point.

A deal is unlikely to be favorable to the world champions as Brighton have pledged a sum of £70m to secure their services.

However, Romano has since revealed that Liverpool could potentially sign him at a killer price provided there is a release clause allowing a move to a European-based side.

What did Fabrizio Romano have to say about Mac Allister joining Liverpool this summer?
When asked about the possibility of Liverpool signing Mac Allister in the summer, Romano hinted that they are currently at the forefront but could face competition from other clubs.

Of the 24-year-old, Romano told GIVEMESPORT: “They have to be careful because if there is a release clause or a fixed fee to take the player out of Brighton, it could change in 24 hours. That’s why Liverpool know they have to be quick with Mac Allister.

Who else could be targeting Mac Allister instead?
Without Champions League football, Liverpool could find themselves caught between a rock and a hard place as the summer begins.

That could be the case for Mac Allister, as teams that have finished in the top four are said to be looking to hijack Liverpool’s move for the midfielder. Italian journalist Rudy Galetti recently told GIVEMESPORT that Manchester City are in the game for Mac Allister and Pep Guardiola seems interested in the Brighton man.

Elsewhere, Galetti has also hinted that Manchester United could also work with Mac Allister, suggesting Liverpool should go further if they want to finalize the deal quickly.

“I’m very calm because I also have the opportunity to be at a club like Brighton, which has always been with me and where I really like being,” he told Argentinian-based media Infobae. at Miami. If I don’t leave the club I will be very happy there, but I am aware that there are opportunities (to move) and if there is a good offer for the club and for me, we will evaluate it.

“I have no doubt that (the Premier League) is the best league to play in and therefore I am aware that my next club would like to play in the Premier League. I really enjoy being there.”

Mac Allister added: “The goal is to keep getting better as a person, as a player, to win more titles. I think that’s my short-term goal and it always will be because I’ll always be the same person and I’ll always be the same person.” .” I want to be a little better than the day before, so I focus a lot on that.

“I won’t complain, I’m 24, I’m a world champion, I play in one of the best leagues in the world and I feel like my career is growing, but I’m still down to earth.” the ground and I really want to improve, become a better person and a better player every day. We’ll see what the future holds.

They remain interested in Mason Mount even though Manchester United are ahead in the Chelsea midfield race.

Liverpool received a crushing blow in their pursuit of the 24-year-old sensation when he said, “I will stay at Barcelona, of course.”

Jules Kounde wants to stay at Barcelona amid interest from Liverpool

Barcelona and France defender Jules Kounde has confirmed he will remain with the La Liga champions despite interest from Liverpool.

A few days ago, the Daily Mail revealed that Liverpool are keen to bring Kounde to Anfield because Jurgen Klopp wants the player.

We all know the Reds are in the market for midfielders and defenders. Given that the Frenchman is a flexible player in defense, the possible offer to sign him made sense

, the 24-year-old squashed those rumors before they even started making noise. Here’s what he had to say (h/t Bein Sports, via Mirror):

“So that it remains clear… my future? Of course, I will stay in Barcelona.

While anything can happen in football, especially during transfer windows, this statement tells us that Kounde is highly unlikely to join Anfield this summer.

If we look at Liverpool’s current centre-back options, they could use a centre-back who could fill the role that Joel Matip once played. The latter could well be sold this summer.

With Trent Alexander-Arnold moving into midfield on the ball, it is appropriate to bring in a right-back or centre-back on the right flank to help Ibrahima Konate, either sharing minutes or playing at right-back.

As Koundé could do both, not having him would be a bit disappointing. But it’s very early summer. There are other goals the club can focus on before pre-season kicks off next month.

Ideally, Klopp, Jorg Schmadtke and the backroom staff should finalize all player deals before the start of July, so that new players to the team participate in the pre-season from day one. It would help their integration and understanding of the tactical side of the game under the coach.

Jürgen Klopp: ‘It was a pleasure to work with Ox – I love him’

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was “a pleasure to work with” during a Liverpool career hampered by injury but still winning six major trophies, explains Jürgen Klopp.

Since joining from Arsenal in the summer of 2017, Oxlade-Chamberlain made 146 appearances for the Reds, helping the club to the Premier League, Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, Emirates FA Cup, UEFA Super Cup and Carabao Cup.

His six-year spell at Merseyside has sadly included spells on the sidelines with injury, most notably when he was ruled out for around 12 months following a serious knee problem during the Champions League semi-final win against Roma in April 2018.

Indeed, it’s that moment that comes to mind when Klopp looks back on the 29-year-old’s days at Anfield.

“Ox is a super boy, definitely a super boy. Now that’s a shame with Ox as is sometimes the case with players – he’s had a great time here and in the end I’m pretty sure he’s not 100% happy and I can certainly understand that,” the manager told Liverpoolfc.com.

“But the only moment that comes to mind that kinda describes the time here but also how good it is is the situation in the semi-finals of Roma, the home game, when it’s was injured. At that point, honestly, I had no idea how to replace him – Ox was so good.

“That was it: he came here, played full back at Arsenal once in a while, winger definitely and he became a real number 8 here, the way we wanted to play – super energetic, technical.”

“I remember how early we had our first final sessions and I watched and thought, ‘He hasn’t scored so many goals in the past. If I could shoot like you, I would start at 7am and finish at 9am.’” 10am because it’s amazing!’

“Then he started scoring these wonderful goals against [Manchester] City and in other important games. It was always a real pleasure to work with him, but of course an injury or two too many caused some problems.

“I love him. I once said that if I had to choose a player to go on vacation with, my first choice would probably be Ox because I’m pretty sure he’s good enough to organize things, he knows all over the world. Together with his wife, he could probably organize tickets for any event in England, maybe in Europe, and it would be absolutely fun.

“He’s a good talker and I’m pretty sure he’ll be all over TV after his career ends – which I hope will last a long time. Otherwise, the TV made a big mistake!

When asked to name his favorite moment of Oxlade-Chamberlain’s Liverpool career, Klopp replied: “There are a lot but I only remember the goal against City at home.” Falling between two players, recovering the ball and then throwing a powerful punch, and Ederson was not even close to the ball.

“It was my greatest moment in football and there have been many more.

Ox has won everything here at Liverpool FC which is amazing so he will continue to be a legend when he comes back and things like that and I’m pretty sure he brings a lot of fantastic memories with him and we’ll keep a lot of them, they will be fantastic memories with him, 100 percent.
