Thanks to Kylian Mbappe, as Liverpool is ‘planning’ a double Real Madrid attack.

Ahead of Arne Slot’s debut season at Anfield, Liverpool has big intentions in the transfer market this summer.

Two Real Madrid players are on their radar following Kylian Mbappe’s move to Spain. Liverpool wants to take advantage of Kylian Mbappe’s sensational transfer to the Spanish city by recruiting Real Madrid players Rodrygo and Arda Guler this summer.

The former PSG star Mbappe will be joining an attacking group that already includes Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham, making competition for spots in Los Blancos’ starting three next season intense. New Liverpool manager Arne Slot and returning CEO Michael Edwards will be looking to take advantage of the surplus, with the Brazilian and Turkish players in particular.

Real manager Carlo Ancelotti’s attacking options will be further enhanced by the impending arrival of teenage sensation Endrick from Palmeiras, giving Anfield fans hope that a trade for Rodrygo or Guler may be possible this summer. The Reds are evaluating the likelihood of reaching an agreement, according to Estadio Deportivo, however it’s still uncertain if Real will comply at this time.

With 15 goals and 8 assists in 47 appearances in the competitions last season, Rodrygo, 23, was a key player in Real Madrid’s victories in both La Liga and the Champions League. Guler, on the other hand, was much more of a supporting cast member, but the 19-year-old winger nevertheless left his imprint, tallying six goals in ten La Liga games.

With a strike from long range that hit the top corner to seal Turkey’s victory over Georgia in Dortmund on Tuesday, the teenager has emerged as a breakthrough hero of Euro 2024.

When Slot becomes leadership at Anfield, both players would be a huge asset to his offensive options. Restocking the attacking ranks is a top priority for Slot and Edwards this summer if the Reds are to compete for the Premier League title, with Diogo Jota sidelined by injuries, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and Luis Diaz struggling for form, and Mohamed Salah’s abilities waning as he approaches 32.

Although a move for Guler seems optimistic, considering Madrid doesn’t seem to be under any pressure to let go of such a phenomenal young prospect, a move for Rodrygo seems more realistic. He may be moved out of Ancelotti’s starting lineup at the Santiago Bernabeu as he approaches his prime.

The 23-cap Brazil international may be drawn to a new challenge and a more prominent role given his three La Liga crowns and two Champions Leagues. UOL reports that Rodrygo may be forced to leave the Bernabeu this summer in order to prevent the possibility of a disappointing campaign in which he spends a lot of time on the bench.

The departures of center-back Joel Matip and midfielder Thiago on free transfers were confirmed at the end of the last campaign, meaning the Reds have not yet made their first summer acquisition.

In the midst of Man City rumours and the Kylian Mbappe move, Rodrygo provides Liverpool with a definitive transfer response.

Last night, Rodrygo and Real Madrid won his second Champions League championship. However, Kylian Mbappe might challenge for his spot, leading to Liverpool transfer rumours.

Rodrygo, a standout for Real Madrid, has been linked to both Liverpool and Manchester City in recent months. Following the Champions League final, the Brazilian seemed to provide both clubs with a clear response.

After being a key player in both of those victories, Rodrygo has won his second European title since joining the Bernabeu. At first glance, it’s difficult to understand why he would be connected away at all. However, there will be fierce competition for positions with Kylian Mbappe’s expected arrival, since Vinicius Jr., the Wembley goal scorer, is a pretty permanent fixture on the wing.

Consequently, it is said that Liverpool ‘contacted’ Real Madrid in April regarding the player’s availability. Furthermore, it was being said just before the championship that Rodrygo himself was “aware” of the interest; in fact, he had made remarks that seemed to rule out leaving Real Madrid.

Regarding Manchester City, communication has gotten more intense during the past few weeks. The winger was “in the sights” of Pep Guardiola’s squad, according to Marca.

But according to Give Me Sport, Rodrygo gave his admirers a clear message in the aftermath of the championship. He seems adamant on staying, even if it means competing with Mbappe for a position.

“Some media outlets reported on bids, clubs, and interest this week. Rodrygo told reporters, “I don’t know anything about it and I’m not interested.” “Even if there are suggestions, I am unaware of them. I’ll be here. Here, I’m content. How am I going to quit Real Madrid?

After his contract with PSG expires on June 30, Mbappe will join Real Madrid as a free agent, according to a story from the BBC earlier today. The foundation for this change dates back years, and it has been informally agreed upon since February.

According to Liverpool.com, significant trophy victories have influenced transfer decisions in the past. Without Istanbul, would Steven Gerrard still be playing in 2005?

In any event, Liverpool hardly ever signs players straight out of the big European leagues, even if Rodrygo had been on the move. He may have been better off staying with Manchester City, but all things considered, it’s probably a good thing.

However, given the circumstances surrounding Mbappe, Liverpool should keep a close eye on the outcome. After winning the Champions League, Rodrygo may not be able to consider leaving Real Madrid at this time, but he is too talented to not be starting most games.

PSG manager teases a £75 million attack on Liverpool while the transfer plan for Kylian Mbappe is revealed.

PSG is preparing for life without Kylian Mbappe by acquiring some of Europe’s top attackers, according to transfer reports involving Liverpool.

In light of rumours linking Paris Saint-Germain to Liverpool player Luis Diaz, manager Luis Enrique has confirmed that the Ligue 1 winners will be active during the summer transfer window.

Reports surfaced during the close of the previous season that connected the Columbia international to an unexpected transfer to Paris. It has been suggested that Diaz, who has a contract with Anfield until 2027, is one among the players who may quit the team during a summer of transition.

Kylian Mbappe’s confirmed departure has PSG searching for a left-sided forward this summer. The France international, who is anticipated to sign with Real Madrid, played his final game for the team in the Coupe de France final victory over Lyon.

Towards the end of the season, Bradley Barcola replaced Mbappe, but it’s likely that another wide attacker will relocate to Paris. After the 2-1 victory over Lyon, Enrique was questioned about his plans for Mbappe’s replacement in the upcoming campaign.

“I have had the good fortune to coach Kylian this season, it has been a difficult one for him after seven years at his club and all that he has achieved, it is difficult to say goodbye,” Enrique stated.

“We will accomplish it with the team and any four, five, or six signings we can make. There is no replacement for Mbappe. The team that replaces Kylian will aim to win everything in the upcoming seasons with the support of the supporters.”

Recently, Diaz has downplayed any doubts about his future. After collecting Liverpool’s April player of the month award, Diaz declared, “I have grown a lot.” From the start of my career to the present, I believe that there are many lessons to be learned from the passing of time, from days to years, from experiencing every team and arriving at this wonderful Liverpool club.

“You acquire ever-increasing knowledge about becoming a better person, professional, team player, and nice guy. To be honest, I’m thrilled to be here. I’m confident that the club will have many more successful years to come.

As for me, I’ll always strive to give it my all, to always stand out on the pitch because that’s what I came [here] to accomplish. I always give thanks to God for every opportunity.

Liverpool is working harder to sign a £51 million attacker ahead of the summer transfer window.

After Jurgen Klopp bid the team farewell over the weekend, Liverpool are prepared to embark on a new chapter under manager Arne Slot.

With a competitive team that won the Carabao Cup and placed third in the Premier League this year, the German manager departs Liverpool.

To regain success both at home and in Europe, the Reds must still make adjustments.

Tutto Juve reports that Liverpool will boost up their efforts to recruit Federico Chiesa, a winger for Juventus, in order to bolster their assault. They also say that Chiesa may fetch as much as £51 million.

Club representatives saw Juventus’ victory over Atalanta in the Coppa Italia final. The versatile Italian wide-forward, who can play multiple positions, is being watched by the Reds.

The Premier League team would be wise to pursue him as a transfer target given his versatility in playing on the wing or behind the striker.

Following the return of Julian Ward and Michael Edwards to the team, the Merseyside club made the decision to bolster the assault by adding significant players to the roster.

Pedro Neto of Wolves (via Telegraph) and Mohammed Kudus of West Ham United (via Fichajes) have both been identified as possible targets for this summer.

They are, nevertheless, thinking about making a move for Chiesa, who finished the season with two assists and seven goals in 31 Serie A appearances.

His present contract with Juventus expires in2025, and negotiations to extend it have reached a deadlock.

Liverpool has an opportunity to seize this uncertainty and approach the player.

This summer, Liverpool needs a new wide attacker.

The transfer for the Juventus player demonstrates Liverpool’s goal to bolster their attack in the upcoming campaign.

Diogo Jota experienced fitness problems last season, and Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo displayed erratic play.

The Serie A team is said to want to keep the player, but a price of about £51 million should be sufficient to sign him.

Luis Diaz downplays the PSG transfer link and declares Liverpool’s future.

Since Kylian Mbappe is leaving for Spain, Luis Diaz has been linked to a summer transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, where the Ligue 1 winners plan to bolster their attack.

Star player Luis Diaz for Liverpool has downplayed rumours of leaving in the summer, stating that “great years are coming” for the Reds.

In January 2022, Diaz moved from Porto to join. Although he has a deal with Anfield that expires in 2027, there has been speculation of a move earlier, with Paris Saint-Germain being one of the interested parties.

Kylian Mbappe is heading to Real Madrid, therefore PSG may need a left-sided forward this summer. Bradley Barcola, a young player, has occasionally filled in down the left, but Mbappe’s exit may make room for a more seasoned player.

With Michael Edwards returning and Jurgen Klopp leaving, this summer on Merseyside may bring quite a lot of change. Nonetheless, a lot of people have taken Diaz’s most recent remarks to mean he’s content at the club.

After collecting April’s Player of the Month award from Liverpool, Diaz told club reporters, “I have grown a lot.” From the start of my career to the present, I believe that there are many lessons to be learned from the passing of time, from days to years, from experiencing every team and arriving at this wonderful Liverpool club.

“You acquire ever-increasing knowledge about becoming a better person, professional, team player, and nice guy. To be honest, I’m thrilled to be here. I’m confident that the club will have many more successful years to come.

As for me, I’ll always strive to give it my all, to always stand out on the pitch because that’s what I came [here] to accomplish. I always give thanks to God for all of my blessings.

This season, Diaz has scored 13 goals across all competitions, including 8 in the Premier League. The Colombian player gets the opportunity to increase that total on Monday when Liverpool plays Aston Villa.

It appeared like the game might have an impact on the title chase a few weeks ago. However, Manchester City’s victory against Fulham on Saturday means that Klopp cannot win the championship in his final season as manager, which is unfortunate for the Reds. The manager acknowledged that his only regret for the season was not making more use of Harvey Elliott, Diaz’s teammate.

Before Monday’s game, Klopp said to reporters, “It’s not like this that I go back and think, ‘OK, what did we all do wrong here and there?’” However, if I had any slight regret, it would be that Harvey didn’t play more frequently.

“It was during a crucial and demanding time. Despite suffering numerous injuries, January was one of our greatest players because of his ability to play right flank, right midfield, and other positions.

He had a few minutes here and there after everyone returned, but he eventually stopped starting. He made a significant impression when he appeared, but it’s great that he could show.

Liverpool and Chelsea are prepared to battle PSG for a €200 million transfer.

This summer, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Paris Saint-Germain are all prepared to part with a large quantity of money to sign Vinicius Jr., an attacker from Real Madrid.

The news that Kylian Mbappe will be joining Real Madrid during the summer transfer window has everyone buzzing with excitement and expectation.

It’s speculated that the Frenchman’s presence would create some sort of disturbance in the changing area.

It has sparked rumours that Rodrygo is being pursued by major Premier League sides.

More reports now suggest that Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo’s fellow attacker, is being targeted by elite teams.

Liverpool and Chelsea are prepared to take on PSG.
Vinicius Jr. is reportedly a target for Chelsea, Liverpool, and PSG, and all three teams are prepared to spend a high price to sign him this summer, according to El Debate (via SPORT).

The aforementioned sides are prepared to move on Mbappe and seize the opportunity presented by his arrival.

The 23-year-old has endured numerous racial taunts in La Liga over the past few years.

Furthermore, he is not protected from referees during the games. That is something that the interested clubs are also thinking about.

Thus, PSG and the two top teams in the Premier League would be prepared to offer Vinicius a way out by paying an incredible €200 million for his services.

The assailant desires to remain at the Spanish powerhouses
Despite rumours that Rodrygo and Vinicius’s futures are uncertain, Real Madrid has no plans to move either player.

The La Liga leaders have enough cash to accommodate the Frenchman without needing to make any sales, so it’s thought that Mbappe’s arrival won’t cause any problems in the locker room.

The Brazilian international has no intention of leaving the Santiago Bernabeu; instead, he is prepared to fight for both his place on the team and against the fans’ behaviour.

The incredible off-field earnings of Liverpool star Mohamed Salah are disclosed in new records.

Mohamed Salah is a Liverpool winger and Egypt international, but he has several more sources of income outside of football.

Mohamed Salah, a top player for Liverpool, has made a significant profit from his business, according to new paperwork.

After agreeing to a lucrative new contract with Liverpool in 2022, Salah, 31, already makes about £400,000 per week. This is due to his status as one of the Premier League’s greatest players after joining from Italian club Roma in 2017. However, the Egyptian winger’s income comes from sources more than merely the ball at his feet; his profits off the pitch also add to his fortune.

In June 30, 2023, ‘Salah UK Commercial’ released their most recent financial statement, which shows that they made little over £5.4 million after taxes. The 31-year-old’s business ventures have flourished after he recovered an incredible £27 million through business transactions in just three years.

Now that amount has surpassed £33 million, Salah will be able to use it as a nest egg in the future.

According to the most recent filings, the Egypt captain, who also has partnerships with Pepsi, Adidas, Uber, and Vodafone, made £11 million from personal sponsorships alone in the previous tax year.

Salah might have made even more money in his upcoming financial statements if Liverpool had chosen to sell him for £200 million last summer.

Al-Ittihad, the reigning Saudi Arabian champions, reportedly offered him a deal worth an incredible £175 million a year in an attempt to make him the latest famous player to relocate to the Middle East.

The most recent accounts of Mohamed Salah, via Companies House

Although Salah is still one of Liverpool’s most vital players, his current contract expires in June 2025, therefore the Reds will need to plan for life without him.

Salah’s future has come under scrutiny once more since manager Jurgen Klopp has decided to depart the team at the end of this season.

Even with the rumours swirling and Saudi Arabia’s desire not abating, the attacker is adamant that Klopp’s exit will not affect his future at Anfield. “No, not at all. Life goes on. In an earlier this month interview with Sky Sports, Salah said to Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, “It’s part of life now.”

“Everything is in motion. The players have already departed from the club. Players of great importance left the team. The club also values the manager greatly, but he is departing. I will eventually leave the club, but it won’t affect my future because of Klopp’s departure.”

When Salah was rumoured to be joining a Saudi Pro League team back in November, Klopp responded, saying, “Mo is here, Mo never came to me and wanted to go.” To be honest, I didn’t give it a second thought—should we sell or not, or anything else.

After Kylian Mbappe move, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool “agree on £86m deal.”

At the end of the current season, Kylian Mbappe is expected to depart from Paris Saint-Germain, although he has stated that he hasn’t made a decision about his future.

Real Madrid star Rodrygo is reportedly interested in signing with Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool. All three Premier League teams concur, though, that he would need to experience a very unusual circumstance in order to depart the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.

Given that his contract with Paris Saint-Germain is slated to expire at the end of the current campaign, Kylian Mbappe is one of the players projected to join the Spanish powerhouses. After years of desperation, Los Blancos suddenly appear likely to sign the France international without even needing to pay a record-breaking amount.

Top European teams have taken notice of Madrid’s circumstances in the hopes of signing their periphery players. Among those drawing attention is Rodrygo, whose potential suitors believe he may have to move aside to make room for Mbappe.

As to the Spanish news source Sport, there is interest from United, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal to sign the Brazilian international. In his 29 La Liga games this season, he has scored eight goals and provided five assists.

If Madrid receives an offer of at least £86 million, they are willing to start negotiations for the 23-year-old, but it is unclear if any of the four Premier League teams will make an effort to sign the former Santos forward.

The group believes that luring Rodrygo away from Madrid is a “impossible mission” unless the player desires to advance in his career or if he is actively courted by other teams. He seems happy with where he is playing football, though, based on his recent remarks regarding his desire to win more with Los Blancos and Brazil.

“I play for the biggest national team and the biggest club in the world,” he said to The Guardian. Something is wrong if I don’t want to play under pressure for those two. There would be no going back. I can’t accept defeat in my life. That is how Real Madrid and the Seleção think. I consider victory to be my constant thought. That’s what I’m thinking right now. To appease the fans of Real Madrid and Brazil, I must prevail.

Arsenal and Liverpool are interested: Dortmund will give up their prolific striker.

Donyell Malen can yet be forced out of the team by Jadon Sancho’s outstanding performances for Borussia Dortmund.

A possible trade agreement that would keep the former Manchester United player in Germany might employ the Englishman’s excellent teammate as a makeweight.

Yet, there will be no shortage of suitors for the 25-year-old right-sided striker, according to Edin Terzic’s team.

“Jadon Sancho continues to improve. He most recently scored in matches against Eindhoven and Bremen. The team examined historical information from the archives in order to compare Sancho’s initial Dortmund stats. Then, his workout regimen will be modified,” Christian Falk said in his special Fact Files column.

Sebastian Kehl, the sports director, is overjoyed with Sancho. He wants to speak with Manchester United in May because of this. Another loan is the objective.

“However, a backup plan exists as well: Donyell Malen is presently performing at his highest level since joining Dortmund. There is interest in him from Manchester United. Dortmund would discard him. A trade exchange would be possible.

“Good news for Dortmund: The Dutchman is also attracting interest from Arsenal FC and Liverpool FC.”

Malen has been having an incredible season in the German top division, contributing eight goals in his last seven league appearances.

Is Sancho going back to Manchester United?

Until Sancho issues a very public apology to Erik ten Hag, it appears quite doubtful that he will be able to resume his career at Old Trafford at this point.

However, considering how a return to Germany has rekindled a waning career, the 23-year-old might be happy enough to stay put.

At this point, the only thing that could persuade Sancho to believe differently would be a managerial change in Manchester.

Mbappe makes it possible for Liverpool to sign the ideal Salah replacement.

Despite the fact that Takefusa Kubo recently inked a new deal at Real Sociedad, Liverpool has received an unexpected boost in their pursuit of the Japanese forward.

The 22-year-old signed a new contract last week that extends until 2029, but Liverpool is still keen to sign him this summer.

Additionally, it is said that Kubo’s new deal still has an active €60 million release clause, which the Reds have been notified of. Consequently, he continues to be a realistic goal for 2024.

The Saudi Pro League is still after Mohamed Salah, a forward for Liverpool who is inclined to sign a new contract at Anfield. The Saudi Pro League is eager to keep stealing some of the top players in the world from the European game.

Their main goal is Salah, but they also have Heung-min Son, a forward for Tottenham Hotspur, on their radar. It is understood by FootballTransfers that Kevin de Bruyne of Manchester City will not be relocating to Saudi Arabia, despite reports of interest from the Middle East.

Liverpool has started preparing for Salah’s possible departure, with Kubo at the top of their list of possible successors, even though they are optimistic that the player will stay longer.

Johan Bakayoko of PSV and Pedro Neto of Wolves are also being considered as potential Salah replacements.

Defensa Central, a Spanish publication, reports (via TEAMtalk) that Real Madrid would not obstruct Liverpool’s pursuit of Kubo. In addition to earning €30 million if any club activates his €60 million release clause, Los Blancos have a 50% sell-on fee.

Or, if they’d want, they can sign him again for a mere €30 million. But Real Madrid is very unlikely to bring Kubo back to the team given the possible arrival of Kylian Mbappe and Brazilian wonderkid Endrick, which opens the door for Liverpool to sign him.

Is Takefusa Kubo the ideal Mohamed Salah substitute for Liverpool?

Even if Kubo lacks Salah’s natural ability to score goals, Liverpool may need to rearrange their assault if the Egyptian departs.

The Japan international is more of a dribbler than a goal scorer, but Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota might complement his skills well and be able to emulate Salah’s goals.

After recovering from an injury last year, Luis Diaz hasn’t been the same, so switching up their attack to include an inside goal-scorer on the left (Jota) and a dribbling playmaker on the right (Kubo) should be ideal.

Although a Jota-Nunez-Kubo front three would not replicate Liverpool’s current lineup with Salah, it would be incredibly entertaining and might help the Reds adjust to life without Klopp and Salah.

Liverpool is one of the world’s TOP FIVE most valuable football teams.

An American survey has placed Liverpool in the top 30 all-sports franchises and among the top five most valuable football teams in the world.

The NFL’s Dallas Cowboys are ranked first overall on a list of the top 100 sports franchises by sports business site Sportico, with a valuation of $9.2 billion (£7.3 billion).

Eleven European football teams—Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, PSG, Tottenham, and Juventus—make the cut, despite the fact that American teams predominate the list.

Liverpool is ranked fourth out of all football teams and is in 29th place overall, between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Cubs, with a valuation of $4.71 billion (£3.73 billion).

Sportico explains the reasoning behind the numbers as follows: “Sportico’s most recent valuations for the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, Formula One, and international football are the foundation for the top 100 franchises.”

“Sportico estimated each team’s revenue to determine the market value of the sports franchises by using publicly accessible data and financial records—as well as speaking with individuals who are familiar with team finances, such as sports bankers and attorneys who handle deals on a daily basis. Team members, including owners, CEOs of the team or parent company, presidents, chief financial officers, and public relations staff, in addition to investors and industry experts, verified this information.”

From a Liverpool standpoint, it’s interesting to note that the Boston Red Sox, another significant team owned by the Reds’ FSG, are valued at $5.21 billion (£4.13 billion), ranking 20th on the list.

Additionally, Liverpool’s worth is reported to have increased by 14% from the previous year.

The Premier League team best positioned to sign Kylian Mbappe is Liverpool.

In recent months, Liverpool has been linked to a move for Real Madrid’s desired forward Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain.

Real Madrid has their eye on Kylian Mbappe as well. However, according to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport via Paisley Gates, Liverpool is the Premier League team most likely to recruit him.

Kylian Mbappe: One of the World’s Best

The 25-year-old has made a name for himself as a top player, and his addition to Liverpool’s assault could be tremendous. This season, Mbappe has scored 28 goals in all competitions.

Liverpool will need to find a suitable replacement for Mohamed Salah, who has been linked to a summer move away from the club. Acquiring the French international striker can turn out to be a prudent choice. Mbappe has been an important member of the team and nation in recent years. He led his nation to the 2022 World Cup final and assisted them in winning the World Cup in 2018.

Someone Like Mbappe Might Be Needed by Liverpool

Mbappe has the potential to greatly enhance Liverpool and is set to become the next big thing in sports. He can play anywhere in the front three due to his versatility, and he might be the best player to take Salah’s place in terms of creativity and goal scoring.

If the Egyptian international does not sign an extension with Liverpool this summer, they may be under pressure to sell him. His contract with the club expires in the summer of 2025. At the end of this season, Mbappe will become a free agent, and it is unclear if Liverpool will be able to sign him for nothing.

If the Premier League team is able to complete the transaction, it would be a huge coup. It would be intriguing to watch if the young Spanish player can prevail in the competition for his signature because Real Madrid is also serious about signing him. They have already defeated Liverpool by acquiring Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni.

It is reasonable to presume that Liverpool will need to entice the French international to join them with attractive salaries.

Despite being a free transfer, there will probably be a substantial signing-on fee. all in all. It is uncertain if Liverpool will be able to secure the necessary funding for such a costly acquisition.

It will be difficult to compete with Real Madrid, and in order to have any chance, they need to guarantee Champions League qualification.

PSG is currently making every effort to hang onto the player, and they have already made him an offer of a deal that would see him make about €100 million a year. Salah now receives a season salary from Liverpool of about €20 million; however, they will need to significantly increase that amount in order to lure Mbappe.

Arsenal will imitate Brighton as Arteta challenges Liverpool for the Argentine sensation

Arsenal is rumoured to be interested in recruiting one of Boca Juniors’ most promising young players, hoping to emulate Brighton & Hove Albion.

After Brighton defeated Manchester City and Chelsea to land 19-year-old Valentin Barco for €9 million, Arsenal is reportedly interested in signing his former teammate Ezequiel Fernandez.

El Crack Deportivo, an Argentine daily, claims that after watching Barco go for the Premier League, Boca is concerned about losing Fernandez.

The source claims that Fernandez might cost up to €15 million. Arsenal intends to send scouts to the CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament in 2024 to watch Fernandez compete for the Argentina U23 team.

In an effort to strengthen that area of the pitch, Mikel Arteta has been linked to the Gunners’ pursuit of a new central midfielder for a number of months.

Arsenal is also interested in Joao Palhinha, but Douglas Luiz remains the main target despite worries about Aston Villa’s potential asking price.

Liverpool was heavily connected to a trade for Fernandez in 2023. Reports state that Benfica, Inter Milan, and Sevilla are also keeping an eye on Fernandez.

Will Liverpool fight for the acquisition of Fernandez?

Alexis Mac Allister, the midfielder Liverpool acquired from Brighton & Hove Albion last summer, is a major Fernandez admirer. “If you ask me a little more about my style, there is a player that I really like and that is Equi Fernández,” he said to TyC Sports, as reported by AnfieldWatch. He is a player who, in my opinion, has every opportunity to travel to Europe in the future.

He is a really good player who has a great understanding of the game. He can play as an inside player or as a five because he can play with both legs and is always ready to receive the ball. He’s a player with some excellent circumstances, and if Brighton asked, I would mention his name.

Kylian Mbappe’s private jet meeting with the owner of Liverpool as transfer rumours heat up

Long-term goal for Real Madrid As Kylian Mbappe’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain draws to an end, Premier League powerhouse Liverpool is suddenly showing interest in the player.

The conversation of Kylian Mbappe’s club future is back on the table, but some sources now suggest that he might join Liverpool instead of Real Madrid.

At the end of the current season, the star player for Paris Saint-Germain’s contract with the French powerhouses will expire, and Real Madrid has long been the favourite to sign him. For almost three years, the World Cup champion has piqued the interest of the Spanish powerhouses, but a transfer has never happened.

Though the Reds are reportedly interested in Mbappe, there is information that claims Los Blancos are no longer in the lead to sign him. Before relocating to Paris in 2017, the 25-year-old came dangerously close to joining Anfield.

Mbappe was considering moving from Monaco to Merseyside at the moment, and according to L’Equipe, he even had a two-hour private conversation about the transfer possibility with Reds owner John W. Henry. According to the French publication, Henry invited Mbappe and his family to board his private aircraft when it was in Monaco in an attempt to win them over.

With no transfer fees to pay, sources indicate that Jurgen Klopp is ready to rekindle the team’s interest in Mbappe. This has set off a gossip mill. PSG is still hopeful, nevertheless, that they can persuade the attacker to sign a contract extension at the Parc des Princes.

Nasser Al Khelaifi, the president of PSG, went into great depth about the circumstances on the Rothen s’enflamme RMC podcast. “Look, I’m not trying to hide anything,” he clarified.I want PSG to keep Kylian Mbappe. PSG is the ideal club for him because he is the finest player in the world.

He is essential to our endeavour. Many things have been tried by us; some have been more successful than others. We are not perfect, and we have made mistakes. We currently have a young team with French players, and we have the long term in mind.

“Our system of play has been adjusted, and we have assembled a team that is enjoyable to watch. They are strong technically. It’s amazing how well we play and defend as a team.”

Although Mbappe’s arrival on a free transfer excites Liverpool, it’s thought that the Reds would need to overhaul their entire wage structure if the Frenchman was to join

According to The Telegraph, Mbappe’s agents are requesting an annual salary of £64.5 million, or £1.24 million per week, after taxes. To put things in perspective, Mohamed Salah, the highest paid player at Liverpool right now, makes almost £350,000 a week.

‘Very clear message’ – former Liverpool player makes transfer decision amid Chelsea January links

In spite of previous claims, the former Liverpool player has made a transfer u-turn.

Based on the most recent sources, it appears like Roberto Firmino, the former star of Liverpool, could not be leaving Saudi Arabia after all.
After having difficulty in Saudi Arabia with Al-Ahli, the Brazilian was rumoured to be leaving during the January transfer window. After leaving Anfield in the summer when his contract ended, he made the move and made a fantastic debut with a hat-trick, but he hasn’t scored since.

According to Matt Law of the Telegraph, Firmino was linked to a move to Chelsea as the Blues wanted to reinforce their attack with Armando Broja being their sole senior central striker and Nicolas Jackson out on international duty. It stated that Firmino had grown dissatisfied with Saudi life, however current sources refuted such allegations.

Fabrizio Romano claims that the most recent information regarding Firmino is that he will stay at the Middle East club and that no move is planned. Despite recent claims, Roberto Firmino does not intend to leave Al Ahli during the January transfer window, the player posted on X. Message from his camp, quite clear:

He intends to remain at Al Ahli. No alterations are anticipated. His team is now third in the Saudi Pro League, behind Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, despite his problems in front of goal. They have one of the league’s most star-studded squads, with players like Edouard Mendy, Franck Kessie, Gabri Veiga, Allan Saint-Maximin, Riyad Mahrez, and Merih Demiral.

Firmino had earlier been connected to a trade to Sheffield United, but there was never any indication that the deal would materialise beyond transfer rumours. In just 25 league games last season, he managed a very respectable 11 goals and 4 assists, which was a fantastic return considering that Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and Diogo Jota were all above him in the standings.

Given the decision over a potential transfer, Kylian Mbappe “would want” to join Liverpool.

For several years, Liverpool has been connected to a move for Kylian Mbappe.

Glen Johnson, a former Liverpool defender, says he “definitely sees” why Kylian Mbappe would be interested in joining Jurgen Klopp’s team this summer.

With his contract set to expire in the summer, Mbappe’s future at Paris Saint-Germain is still up in the air. The 25-year-old is still free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with overseas clubs.

While the Frenchman considers his options, Real Madrid and Liverpool have been identified as his two most likely destinations. However, there is still a chance that Mbappe will decide to stay with his current team beyond the current season.

The 2018 World Cup champion has long been admired by the Reds, who have tracked him since he was at Monaco in 2017. Johnson thinks Mbappe would seize the chance to come to Anfield if the opportunity presented itself.

The 39-year-old said, “I can definitely see why Kylian would want to join Liverpool.” “But will they spend a fortune on him? It kind of violates their policy regarding transfers. Is he really worth spending a fortune on? Indeed, but it all relies on Liverpool’s level of readiness.

“Everything they do is so calculated and structured but, to get this one over the line, you’ve got to forget about what the stats and the calculator says,” Johnson stated to Betfred. “You’re going to require substantial funds. I completely understand the player’s desire for the transfer, and if Liverpool decides to go forward, I’m sure that all of the nation’s supporters will be eager to see him play in the Premier League.

“The deal will be enormous even if it’s on a free transfer, because Mbappe’s agents would undoubtedly want half of the possible £150 million transfer fee for themselves and the player if Liverpool are trying to save money. Either way, the cost will be high.”

When asked in July about a potential trade for Mbappe, Jurgen Klopp responded to reporters by saying, “We laugh about it.” Although I believe him to be a pretty strong player, the financial situation is completely unsuitable for us. As far as I know, there is nothing to the story—I wouldn’t want to give anything away right now.

Jurgen Klopp signs his first January deal, confirming Liverpool transfer

After being recalled from RB Leipzig earlier this month, midfielder Fabio Carvalho has joined HullCity on loan, according to confirmation from Liverpool.

The completion of Fabio Carvalho’s loan move to Hull City has been announced by Liverpool.

For the duration of the season, the 21-year-old midfielder is a temporary member of the Tigers’ team. After making three starts in 15 games during his time at RB Leipzig, Carvalho was recently called back by the Reds as they searched for a team where he could play regularly.

Carvalho has played in the Championship before; during the 2021–2022 season, he scored 18 goals in 36 league appearances for Fulham, which persuaded the team to sign the youthful midfield player. Tyler Morton, another Liverpool loanee, will join him at Hull.

The offensive midfielder, who was a member of Liverpool’s first team squad and made 22 appearances in his rookie season before slipping down the roster, will be trying to make an impression on Jurgen Klopp from a distance. The Tigers are now one spot off of the play-off spots from Hull’s viewpoint, therefore manager Liam Rosenior will be hoping Carvalho can aid in the team’s bid for promotion.

Rosenior stated on Hull City’s official website, “Fábio is excited to be coming here and I’m delighted to be working with him until the end of the season.” Technically, he is excellent. He can run in behind, score, and assist. He is bold, agile, well-balanced, and adept at taking the ball.

“Liverpool has seen the work we’ve done with Tyler Morton, so they can see how much potential he has. I can’t thank them enough for their trust.” Fábio has the capacity to significantly influence our season and lead us to our desired outcome.
