    Mauricio Pochettino plans a £112 million transfer swoop as Michael Olise contract is “close,” according to Chelsea news.

    Chelsea plans a £112 million transfer for their ideal Enzo Fernandez partner as a substitute for Moises Caicedo.
    Michael Olise, Federico Valverde, and Kylian Mbappe are all topics of recent Chelsea news and rumors regarding transfers.

    Due to interest from other clubs, Chelsea may need to move quickly if they hope to complete an unlikely transfer for Kylian Mbappe of PSG and France.

    The 24-year-old is currently embroiled in a very public saga with Les Parisiens over his future after he recently declined to exercise the option of an additional year on his contract. As a result, the club hierarchy took some drastic action since he only has one year left on his contract.

    The Frenchman was given an ultimatum, warning him that he would have to leave this summer if he didn’t sign an extension in order to keep from losing a fee. His exclusion from the team’s preseason tour of Japan as a result of an unmet deadline for a new contract has left him alone.

    Saudi Arabia made a record-breaking offer to sign Mbappe for more than £250 million, promising him a one-year contract that would allow him to switch teams the following summer. The possibilities for his next stop are slowly being made known, and that appears to have been rejected.

    According to The Mirror, Liverpool and PSG are in preliminary discussions about loaning the World Cup champion to Liverpool for the entire season. It implies that the path is open for the Blues to take as well, even though they aren’t participating in any European tournaments.

    As an ‘agreement is close,’ Michael Olise is the latest transfer to Chelsea.

    Chelsea and Manchester City are showing interest in Michael Olise during the summer transfer window. The Frenchman fits the type of player Mauricio Pochettino is looking to add to his squad before the upcoming season.

    Even though his contract’s release clause is reportedly no longer in effect, the Frenchman might still be available for about £35 million. According to Jacobs, there is genuine interest in GiveMeSport.

    While Olise is very close to reaching a deal with Chelsea, Crystal Palace does not want to sell. He is a very tangible option for Chelsea, though obviously players can agree terms with multiple clubs. The most crucial factor in all of this is whether a deal can be reached with Crystal Palace.
    He should therefore be kept an eye on in the upcoming weeks.

    Mauricio Pochettino now needs to replace the midfielders that Chelsea let leave Stamford Bridge during the summer transfer window. The club has lost Mateo Kovacic, N’Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mason Mount, as Pochettino looks for the right player to team up with Enzo Fernandez in his squad for the upcoming campaign.

    According to the Spanish newspaper Nacional, the Blues are now considering bringing Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde to Stamford Bridge this summer. Liverpool reportedly made an offer for the Uruguayan international of €80 million (£68 million), while Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli from Saudi Arabia each made an offer of €100 million (£85 million). Real Madrid has rejected all approaches for the player.

    In an effort to strengthen Madrid president Florentino Perez’s resolve, Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is rumored to have prepared a bid of €130 million (£112 million) to sign Valverde. According to the report, the Blues are willing to quintuple Valverde’s pay to make him one of the highest-paid players in the Premier League.

    Liverpool transfer round-up: Chelsea plan to hijack Mbappe as a new Lavia bid is being prepared.

    Liverpool have made two big signings this summer in the form of Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister and more are expected before the transfer window slams shut.

    Liverpool has been very active in the transfer market this summer, and many more players are expected to come in and go out.

    Jordan Henderson, the team’s captain, has finalized a contentious transfer to Saudi Arabia, while free agents James Milner, Naby Keita, Roberto Firmino, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have also left the club. Jurgen Klopp’s team has been bolstered by the additions of Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis MacAllister, but Klopp is aware that more players must be brought in.

    It’s obvious that we need to take action, said Klopp. “We are working on solutions. Everyone is now concerned about the changes after initially wanting them. We have a lot of hope for it. I’m also excited. Here, Mirror Football compiles the most recent Anfield-related news articles.

    Chelsea is ‘discussing Mbappe’.

    Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are in talks about a transfer for Kylian Mbappe.

    The Daily Record claims that Todd Boehly and Nasser Al-Khelaifi of PSG have had direct discussions about a player-plus-cash deal for Mbappe. The forward turned down an extension at Parc des Princes, so PSG is looking to sell him this summer.

    News of Chelsea’s interest in Mbappe comes after Mirror Football exclusively revealed on Sunday that Liverpool are in talks with PSG over signing Mbappe on loan.

    Fabinho “undergoes a Saudi medical.”.
    According to the Daily Mail, Fabinho has undergone a medical after being heavily linked with a £40 million move to Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad.

    The Brazilian reportedly reached a three-year agreement with Al-Ittihad before departing for Dubai on Friday to complete the move. He will now likely start next season alongside players like Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante thanks to the upcoming switch.

    After moving to Liverpool from Monaco in 2018, Fabinho has played more than 200 times and helped Liverpool win the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and Community Shield. Fabinho has spent five seasons at Anfield.

    Liverpool is planning a new Lavia offer.

    Liverpool will intensify their pursuit of Romeo Lavia in the wake of Henderson’s transfer to Al-Ettifaq and Fabinho’s impending joining of Al-Ittihad.

    Southampton, who values the midfielder at about £50 million, has already turned down an opening offer from the Reds for him. Furthermore, according to the Daily Mail, Liverpool is “poised to make a second bid.”.

    Lavia is Klopp’s top pick to take the place of Henderson and Fabinho, and she could combine with Mac Allister and Szoboszlai to form a completely different type of midfield. When the transfer window closes in September, Saints manager Russell Martin has asserted that Lavia “may still be here.”.

    Reason behind Kylian Mbappe's transfer to Liverpool and admittion of "new project
    Liverpool are hoping to get Kylian Mbappé to join them on loan as PSG continue their efforts to sign the forward now rather than lose him as a free agent next summer

    Six years after losing the deal for Kylian Mbappé, Liverpool are once again aiming to sign the Frenchman.

    The Reds have come out of nowhere as a potential destination for Mbappé, who looks set to be transferred from Paris Saint-Germain this summer after refusing to commit his future at the club beyond next year.

    The 24-year-old Mbappé can leave Parco dei Principi as a free agent in 2024 under the terms of the contract signed last summer. And with PSG looking to cash in on their forward while they can, Mirror Football revealed on Saturday that Liverpool are looking to negotiate a stunning loan deal with the French giants that will see Mbappé spend the 2023-24 season at Anfield.

    A season-long deal would still allow Mbappé a dream move to the Bernabéu next summer if he wishes, and the striker is known to be an admirer of Reds boss Jurgen Klopp. In 2017, Klopp and Liverpool launched a massive charm offensive to lure Mbappe to Anfield when it became clear the striker had overtaken Monaco. At the time, however, The Telegraph claimed that Mbappe chose PSG instead because the Reds failed to convince him that joining them was the best step for his career.

    Since then, Liverpool have even been linked with Mbappe. Before signing a new contract last summer, the PSG star made it clear he was open to the possibility of taking on a new challenge outside of France.

    “It’s a very important moment for me, maybe I’m reaching the first or second turning point in my career,” Mbappe said after being named Ligue 1 player of the year in 2019. “I’ve learned so much here and I feel like maybe it’s time to take on more responsibility. Maybe it would bring me great joy at PSG, or maybe somewhere else for a new project.”

    While it remains to be seen whether Liverpool’s latest attempt to sign Mbappe will be successful, Mbappe’s mother and agent Fayza Lamari is known to be a huge Liverpool fan.

    Mbappe is believed to be happy to see out the final year of his contract in Paris, but PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has made it clear he will actively seek to sell the world champion if he refuses to secure his future to devote himself to the association. beyond 2024.

    PSG accepted a club-record £259million offer from Al-Hilal earlier this week but the deal fell through as Mbappé was unwilling to consider a move to the Saudi Pro League.

    Liverpool have linked up with a move for Andreas Christensen from Barcelona

    In a bid to bolster their defensive ranks, Liverpool have set their sights on Andreas Christensen. Jurgen Klopp has made a personal request to the Danish centre-back. Christensen’s pursuit signals the club’s determination to strengthen its back-line for the new season.

    This is according to Nacional via Football365 [h/t ECHO]. Liverpool made an initial offer of €30 million to Barcelona for Christensen’s services. However, the Catalan giants were quick to reject the offer, signaling their intention to retain the talented defender.

    Undeterred by their second refusal this week after Lavia, the Reds are preparing a second €50m offer for Christensen, showing their willingness to live up to Barcelona’s appreciation for the player.

    Christensen has built a reputation as a reliable and composed centre-back and it is no surprise that Klopp is eager to sign. The 27-year-old striker has already shown his defensive prowess at Barcelona and Chelsea. His style of play is in line with the philosophy of Liverpool which certainly makes him a suitable addition to the squad.

    With Liverpool looking for defensive reinforcements, Christensen could certainly prove to be an ideal choice. Klopp’s personal interest in the player underlines his belief in the Dane’s abilities and the potential impact he could have on the team.

    If the deal goes ahead, Christensen would bring more depth and quality to Liverpool’s defensive options. His experience and composure in defense could prove crucial in high-stakes matches, adding extra stability to the team’s defense.

    Klopp’s personal interest in the player could be a deciding factor but the end result remains uncertain, especially given Barca’s reluctance to let go of Christensen. Liverpool must be patient and ready to continue negotiations to bring the Danish defender to Anfield.

    How Liverpool might use Kylian Mbappe in their lineup as shocking transfer negotiations with PSG begin

    How Liverpool might use Kylian Mbappe in their lineup as shocking transfer negotiations with PSG beginLiverpool and PSG have begun discussing the possibility of loaning out superstar Kylian Mbappe, with the Ligue 1 champions eager to do so during this summer’s transfer window.

    Jurgen Klopp would have a ton of options in attacking positions if Liverpool is successful in their shocking loan move for Kylian Mbappe.

    The Reds and PSG have begun discussing a potential one-year contract for the France captain, as reported by Mirror Football on Saturday night. The fact that Mbappe respects the club and has previously spoken with the Premier League team has given the Reds hope.

    If Mbappe does indeed move to Anfield this summer, Klopp would face some selection difficulties. He already has Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo, and Mohamed Salah at his disposal for attack.

    Due to the fact that Mbappe is almost certainly going to be given a spot in Klopp’s first team, only two of them would be able to start. Mbappe would line up in the middle, where he has had great success for PSG in previous seasons.

    He would replace Nunez, who found it difficult to fit in during his first season with the Reds at Anfield and finished the previous season with 35 goals from centre-forward. Being one of the few bright spots in Liverpool’s season the previous year, Salah would start on the right wing.

    Gakpo would be on the other flank; after joining the team in the January transfer window, he appeared to overtake Gakpo as Klopp’s top choice for the position. Other options would seem to be much simpler for the German.

    Since joining from Roma, Alisson has established himself as one of the top goalkeepers in the Premier League and should continue to start. Trent Alexander-Arnold should start at right-back despite playing a midfield position toward the end of the previous campaign.

    Liverpool and PSG have begun discussing the possibility of loaning out superstar Kylian Mbappe, with the Ligue 1 champions eager
    Andy Robertson, who plays in the other full-back position, has grown into the team’s leader and shouldn’t be demoted. A strong partnership has been established between Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate at center back, and it should only get stronger throughout the current campaign.

    Given the changes at the position over the course of this summer, the midfield presents a bigger challenge. It might be a completely different-looking trio now that James Milner, Jordan Henderson, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have all left.

    Naturally, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister have already arrived at Anfield this summer. The two should both be given immediate starts in the forward positions of the starting lineup.

    However, Liverpool will need to go back to the market for a defensive midfielder. Romeo Lavia, who is currently with Southampton following the latter’s relegation to the Championship last season, appears to be their top target.

    Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Andy Robertson, Alexis MacAllister, Romeo Lavia, Dominik Szoboszlai, Mohamed Salah, Kylian Mbappe, and Cody Gakpo could all start for Liverpool.

    the most recent Romeo Lavia, Fabinho, and Keito Nakamura transfer rumors at Liverpool.

    Liverpool ramps up their preseason preparations this week with a trip to Singapore where they’ll play Bayern Munich and Leicester City.

    However, given the numerous gaps in his team, Jurgen Klopp will have to do it.

    The club officially announced Jordan Henderson’s departure yesterday after the Liverpool captain agreed to a contentious £12 million transfer to Saudi Arabia’s Al Ettifaq.

    Fabinho, meanwhile, remained in Merseyside despite being close to his own £40 million move to Saudi Arabia.

    As the countdown to Liverpool’s match against Chelsea on August 13 approaches, it indicates that they will be active in the transfer market. Here are the most recent transfer rumors and who they are supposedly linked with:.

    Romeo Lavia.

    Romeo Lavia’s agent, Southampton, has already rejected Liverpool’s first offer, but they plan to make an even better one next time.

    The Reds are planning to make a bid closer to Southampton’s £50 million asking price for the 19-year-old than their initial offer of £34 million plus £4 million in add-ons.

    If Liverpool doesn’t complete the transaction quickly, there might be a twist.

    Chelsea, who is rumored to be considering a move for Lavia after their most recent offer for Brighton’s Moises Caicedo was rejected, could, however, present competition.

    Lavia is an alternative that the Londoners are reportedly considering, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic, so Liverpool will need to act quickly to avoid a bidding war.

    Fabinho.

    Keito NakamuraItalian writer Fabrizio Romano claims that the transfer of Fabinho is getting closer.

    He claims that as the talks move forward, a medical could be scheduled very soon. The ECHO stated earlier this week that despite a lull in negotiations, Liverpool was still optimistic that a deal would be reached with Al Itihad.

    The club is friendly with Fabinho’s agent, Jorge Mendes, and was optimistic that negotiations could move forward.

    Romano reports that despite their caution, the Reds are optimistic that everything will be resolved very soon.

    Keito Nakamura

    Keito Nakamura
    Keito Nakamura, a winger for LASK, has been linked to a transfer to Liverpool.

    The Japan international has been repeatedly linked with a move to Anfield, and according to Foot Mercato, the Reds want to pay £6 million for the 22-year-old before returning him on loan to Austria.

    The talented winger, who scored 17 goals and had eight assists last season while also making two appearances for his country, has also drawn interest from Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa.

    Although a deal to send him back on loan might make sense in theory, Liverpool hardly needs to add a new forward.

    After Fabinho is completed, Romeo Lavia is anticipated to sign as the third summer signing.

    Kylian Mbappe could be acquired by Liverpool on loan.
    As the forward’s dispute with the Parisians goes on, Liverpool is reportedly considering an outrageous loan move for superstar Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain.

    The Frenchman has less than a year left on his current contract with PSG, has refused to sign a new one, and club officials believe he is focused on a lucrative Bosman transfer to Real Madrid.

    According to the Mirror, Liverpool is “ready” to offer Mbappe a one-year loan deal at Anfield, which would seem to benefit all parties by giving the 24-year-old player playing time before Euro 2024. In the meantime, a fee of some kind would be paid to the Ligue 1 champions for the forward.

    The attacking team’s line-up with Andy Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, and Ibrahima Konate as a back three, Szoboszlai and Trent Alexander-Arnold as a double six, and Alexis Mac Allister and Bobby Clark as the final two midfielders was where there was the most intrigue. Attackers were aiming for Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, and Darwin Nunez.

    Due to an adductor issue, Bajcetic hasn’t played since March, prematurely ending the 18-year-old’s breakthrough campaign.

     

    After Romeo Lavia’s bid, Jurgen Klopp explains Liverpool’s transfer strategy.

    Liverpool transfer news: latest on Romeo Lavia, loan offer for Kylian Mbappe, and Stefan Bajcetic's injury.
    It is “absolutely clear,” according to Jurgen Klopp, that Liverpool needs to add at least one more midfielder during this transfer window.

    With the additions of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai in recent weeks, the Reds have already spent £95 million to bolster the engine room.

    Although James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita had already left this summer, the unexpected departure of Jordan Henderson to Al-Ettifaq and the likelihood that Fabinho would follow the former captain to Saudi Arabia have left Liverpool without any senior options.

    Romeo Lavia, a defensive midfielder for Southampton, is 19 years old. Southampton rejected Liverpool’s initial offer of £34 million plus £4 million in add-ons because they wanted £50 million for the player.

    While the Reds are keeping an open mind about any additional signings before the transfer window closes, Klopp has previously stated he wants a new player before the start of the Premier League season at Chelsea in a fortnight.

    Klopp responded, when asked how crucial it would be to further improve the midfield area, “That would not be a bad idea. It is crystal clear to us that we must take action there. Clearly, solutions are something we’re working on. ”.

    Following the PSG star’s Saudi snub, Liverpool in a sensational Kylian Mbappe transfer talks.

    Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are in negotiations over a move for Kylian Mbappe after the France international turned down a world
    Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are in negotiations over a move for Kylian Mbappe after the France international turned down a world record transfer to the Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.

    After the French champions accepted their £259 million world record bid, PSG is furious that Mbappe refused to speak with Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal. However, they are also concerned that Mbappe will defect to Real Madrid for nothing in a year.

    Mbappe can leave Paris, generate revenue for PSG, and complete his dream transfer to Real Madrid with the help of a one-year loan deal that Liverpool is prepared to extend to him. Mbappe’s admiration for the team and the knowledge that his mother Fayza Lamari, who is also his agent, is a die-hard Kop supporter have inspired the Reds.

    Jurgen Klopp is the manager of the Anfield team, and Mbappe frequently praises him. He and his representatives discussed a transfer to Liverpool before deciding to leave Monaco and join PSG.

    We didn’t talk all that much, he said to the Telegraph last year. “We exchanged some brief words. As my mother’s favorite team and a huge fan of Liverpool, I spoke with them. We met them five years ago and it’s a good club, so you’ll have to ask her why. They were there when I was in Monaco. It is a sizable club. “.

    It all started when Mbappe called PSG a “divisive club” in an interview with France Football magazine. Mbappe responded, “Yes, but I don’t blame them,” when asked if he felt his PSG performances had been minimized.

    “In France, they watched me mature; they constantly see me at PSG on the weekends or participating in selection. For years, I’ve been getting many points. It’s therefore becoming commonplace for people. I’ve never argued that people are making light of my performances.

    It wasn’t that long ago when I had the opportunity to be an observer before becoming an actor, so I’m young and have had experience. My own actions trivialized what Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and other great players were doing.

    We live in a consumer society where the adage “it’s good, but do again” is prevalent. Because Paris Saint-Germain is a divisive team and club, I don’t think playing there does much to help. Because I am aware of what I’m doing and how I go about doing it, it naturally attracts gossip, but I don’t mind. “.

    Jordan Henderson, the Reds’ captain, left for Al Ettifaq, and Fabinho appears destined for Al Ittihad.

    Liverpool has already brought in two midfielders this summer, and they may bring in at least one more.

    Eberechi Eze of Crystal Palace was one name that was mentioned earlier this year as a potential transfer target for Anfield.

    The 25-year-old was linked to both the Reds and Tottenham Hotspur, according to a May report from Liverpool World.

    In 2020, Palace acquired Eze from QPR for an initial reported fee of £16 million with a potential increase to £20 million.

    With 15 goals and 11 assists from 93 competitive games, he has performed admirably for the London club.

    Eze is a versatile player who has played both flanks, both offensive and defensive midfield positions for Palace.

    Early this year, he played for 20 minutes against Malta in a Euro 2024 qualifying match to earn his first England cap.

    One of Eze’s former teammates has now endorsed the rumored Liverpool target for a significant transfer.

    The Three Lions star “100%” has what it takes to succeed at a top club, according to Geoff Cameron, who spoke to talkSPORT.

    Following the Saudi Pro League's recent Anfield raid, Liverpool has been linked with a number of midfielders in recent weeks.
    He (Eze) “goes at his own beat and he’s smooth, silky, sharp and kind of graceful at the same time,” he said. “He has the power to alter the game.

    “For me, I have no doubts that he’ll join a prestigious club.

    “It just [takes] time, experience, more games under his belt, and more chances to demonstrate his talent and [score] more goals. He already possesses it.

    I think he can, and you’ll see it.
    Can he do it reliably in every game and have that much impact? ”.

    Cameron also recalled how Jack Butland, a former teammate, described Eze as having “joke-like” talent.

    Our perspective.

    Liverpool should consider Eze as a viable option.
    He is a Premier League-tested player with extraordinary talent and versatility.

    Although he’s only 25 and hasn’t reached his peak, he has a wealth of experience and should be able to make an immediate impact at Anfield.

    The deal with Eze is good through the 2025 summer.

    Palace doesn’t have to sell him right away or risk losing him for nothing the following year, but they still need to consider what the future holds for both the player and the team.

    In light of this, Liverpool may decide to test the market and determine how much the Eagles might be willing to pay for him.

    Palace may not want to lose another top player just yet after recently losing Wilfried Zaha to a free transfer.

     

  • Chelsea increased Kylian Mbappe’s transfer value as $166 million Victor Osimhen made a decision.

    Chelsea increased Kylian Mbappe’s transfer value as $166 million Victor Osimhen made a decision.

    After Liverpool’s $47 million offer was turned down, Southampton issues a transfer notice to FSG over Roméo Lavia. https://footballtopstar.com/after-liverpools-47-million-offer-was-turned-down-southampton-issues-a-transfer-notice-to-fsg-over-romeo-lavia/
    Following Kylian Mbappe’s rejection of a world record offer to join Saudi Arabia, Victor Osimhen has come to the attention of Chelsea fans.

    This summer, strikers are in high demand as teams all over the world look to strengthen their lineups. There is plenty to go around this summer after Erling Haaland had an unheard-of impact at Manchester City and Victor Osimhen went on the offensive in Italy.

    Bayern Munich is interested in Harry Kane and expects him to leave Tottenham, while clubs looking for a versatile focal point are interested in Bundesliga star Randal Kolo Muani. With Rasmus Hojlund as their top priority, Manchester United is swiping at the feet of anyone who is open.

    Dusan Vlahovic is wanted by Paris Saint-Germain but is no longer on Chelsea’s radar. Romelu Lukaku could then join Juventus as a result, and the cycle continues. One of the most intriguing players is Lautaro Martinez at Inter, but he doesn’t seem to be moving anytime soon despite the fact that his play has previously caught the eye of both the Blues and Real Madrid.

    With his departure from PSG looking increasingly likely, Kylian Mbappe is now center stage. The French champions want to make sure they do not lose him for free in 2024, so they have decided to put him up for sale with only one year left on his contract.

    They don’t want to take a chance by trying to sign him to a longer deal at Parc des Princes because they think he already has a deal to join Real Madrid the following season. Al-Hilal shocked the football world with a £260 million ($333 million) world record bid for the 24-year-old after becoming aware of the circumstances and receiving support from the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF).

    That was quickly accepted because PSG saw an opportunity to profit, cash in, and get rid of Mbappe all at once. His decision to reject the offer, which would have paid him £604 million ($754 million) on a one-year contract before being allowed to transfer to Santiago Bernabeu, was made recently.

    Following Kylian Mbappe's rejection of a world record offer to join Saudi Arabia, Victor Osimhen has come to the attention of Chelsea fans.
    Al-Hilal are reportedly pushing for Napoli star Osimhen instead, unfazed by the disappointment of having Mbappe reject them. The Nigerian is one of the most sought-after players in the world and also has one of the highest valuations. According to Italian news reports, the 24-year-old’s transfer would cost at least £130 million ($166 million).

    But for some of the Saudi Pro League teams, that represents a mere drop in the bucket. Osimhen, who has been receiving most of the praise for Napoli’s outstanding season under Luciano Spalletti, is coming off a season in which he scored 26 goals in 32 league games en route to winning the Scudetto for the first time in 33 years.

    Even for Al-Hilal, he is hardly ever readily available.
    Aurelio de Laurentiis, president of the Napoli club, outlined the requirements for them to even consider an offer. He asserted, “We will see Victor Osimhen wearing our shirt next season, without a doubt.”.

    We will move on and find another top talent, just like we did with [Khvicha] Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen, if a more than outrageous offer is made. “.

    This may be a boost for Chelsea, who have shown interest in Osimhen and admire Mbappe like every other team. Even though Mbappe is hardly a less expensive option, it makes sense that PSG would accept a lower offer than Al-Hilal’s outrageous offer to put an end to the ambiguity after they made the decision not to pursue Osimhen once a price for the player was quoted.

     

  • LIVERPOOL TOLD THE “ARROGANT” TRANSFER TARGET WON’T SUIT JURGEN KLOPP, “EVEN ERLING HAALAND”.

    LIVERPOOL TOLD THE “ARROGANT” TRANSFER TARGET WON’T SUIT JURGEN KLOPP, “EVEN ERLING HAALAND”.

    Despite rumors that he will leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer, Perry Groves claims Kylian Mbappe doesn't fit Jurgen Klopp's
    Despite rumors that he will leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer, Perry Groves claims Kylian Mbappe doesn’t fit Jurgen Klopp’s style at Liverpool.

    The former Arsenal player claimed that the World Cup winner from 2018 plays at “80-85 percent” for Paris Saint-Germain but that he cannot do the same for a team like Liverpool or in the Premier League. He used Erling Haaland as an example of someone who does it for Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

    Additionally, he believes that you would need to “build your team around” Kylian Mbappe, which, as Jurgen Klopp stated to talkSPORT, is something he would never do.

    Even though Mbappe is currently among the best in the world, if not the best, every club in the country would surely sign him if it made financial sense, and that is what Liverpool is attempting to do.

    Given that the Reds are searching for that marquee player after missing out on Jude Bellingham to Real Madrid, one would assume they are no different.

    But not for Groves, who correctly outlined why Mbappe, who was referred to as “arrogant” (The Athletic) by his former manager, Mauricio Pochettino, wouldn’t work at Anfield.

    You can’t play 80 to 85 percent, as he does for PSG, according to Groves. “You can see how bad they are in the Champions League. can’t advance past the quarterfinals because they face opponents of comparable stature.

    “You need to organize your team around Mbappe. Liverpool won’t do that because they play with a high press, which forces everyone to move away from the ball. Will Mbappe, who is incredibly intelligent, actually do that?

    Despite rumors that he will leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer, Perry Groves claims Kylian Mbappe doesn't fit Jurgen Klopp's
    “You can’t have players who don’t contribute when you don’t have the ball when you play the other top teams.

    That’s not how it operates.
    Even the brilliant Haaland presses and performs his duties off the ball for Man City. Mbappe may not actually do that.
    ”.

    Mbappe playing for Liverpool.

    FSG differ from PSG. They don’t just spout cash at anything and everything.

    There is no chance Liverpool will acquire Mbappe unless he is available for free; they couldn’t even close a deal to acquire Bellingham this summer.

    Real Madrid will be the front-runners to sign him if that situation occurs, and there is still a chance despite the mayhem in Paris.

     

  • Jurgen Klopp experiences a double transfer setback as Anfield move rejected

    Jurgen Klopp experiences a double transfer setback as Anfield move rejected

    Leon Goretzka
    Jordan Henderson and Fabinho’s impending departures have hurt Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who had hoped to make a statement during this summer’s transfer window.

    Liverpool needed to make a statement in the summer transfer window after a disastrous season last year.

    They could have accomplished that, for example, by acquiring Kylian Mbappe from PSG. The captain of France, who has declared his intention to leave on a free transfer next summer, is being desperately sought after by the Ligue 1 champions.

    With Jurgen Klopp being a huge fan, the Reds have been linked with a move for the attacker for a while. However, their attempt to steal him from Real Madrid has now run into a significant roadblock. Mirror Football compiles the most recent Mbappe and Liverpool transfer news here.

    Target rejects the Anfield maneuver.

    Leon Goretzka
    Leon Goretzka, a target for Liverpool, has decided against leaving Bayern Munich. The Reds have been linked to the midfielder as they look to replace Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, who are both expected to leave for the Saudi Pro League.

    Goretzka had moved up the Reds’ shopping list as Jurgen Klopp needed midfield reinforcements. But as of late, the 28-year-old has insisted he is content with his life at the Allianz Arena and is not looking to leave.

    I simply want to stay here and I can only say that I love the club, the city, and the supporters. When asked about the rumors of his potential departure, the Bayern star responded to BILD by saying, “There are no thoughts of leaving the club.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold should take the place of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson in midfield, according to Reds manager Klopp. The German had not anticipated losing both his captain and the Brazilian international this summer, though Jason McAteer thinks Alexander-Arnold is the ideal replacement.

    “Fabinho and Henderson will have a significant impact on Trent’s outcome. He will undoubtedly need to enter the transfer market if we lose both of them, the former Liverpool player told LFCTV.

    If the coach gets the players he wants, Trent might start on the right and move to the midfield area, as we saw last season. The option is open for him to start in midfield and someone else to fill the right-back spot if that doesn’t happen. ”.

    Massive Mbappe loss.

    Leon Goretzka
    Liverpool’s hopes of acquiring Kylian Mbappe may be dashed after Al-Hilal made a massive £259 million bid to PSG for the Frenchman. With the intention of selling him, PSG has decided to leave Mbappe at home while their first team travels to Asia.

    The star attacker, who won the World Cup with France in 2018, had been on the Reds’ radar. But with The Athletic reporting that Al-Hilal have made a world-record bid for the Frenchman, all hopes of bringing him to Anfield appear to be lost.

    Al-Hilal is reportedly offering Mbappe a £700 million contract, making the price too high for Liverpool to compete with. Despite the fact that Mbappe has long desired to join Real Madrid, this generous offer might now tempt him to move to Saudi Arabia.

    As Jurgen Klopp nears a third summer signing, Liverpool is negotiating the “final price tag.”.

    Looking to strengthen Jurgen Klopp’s team, Liverpool is still engaged in the summer transfer window.

    According to reports, Liverpool and Southampton are still negotiating the “final price tag” for Romeo Lavia. The goal for Jurgen Klopp this summer was to strengthen Liverpool’s midfield, and the only midfielder signed since then has been Thiago Alcantara.
    2018.

    With James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita all departing, newcomers were even more needed. Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai were both acquired by Liverpool at the beginning of the transfer window.

    Even though a third signing was always likely, with both Jordan Henderson and Fabinho looking to leave, it now seems even more essential. Lavia of Southampton has been mentioned as one of the Reds’ top options, but recent weeks have seen a slowdown in those discussions.

    Liverpool has been searching the market for alternatives after being deterred by the south coast side’s reported £50 million asking price. The Crystal Palace star Cheick Doucoure has surfaced as a possible replacement, but he too would demand a hefty fee.

    Looking to strengthen Jurgen Klopp's team, Liverpool is still engaged in the summer transfer window.
    The transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims that “contacts are being made with the player’s agents,” suggesting that Liverpool haven’t completely given up on trying to sign Lavia. Additionally, the report claims Liverpool is hoping to talk Southampton down from their initial £50 million demand.

    According to reports, Liverpool is ‘trying to understand the final price tag’ in an effort to acquire the midfielder for less money. Before the transfer window closes, Klopp has already assured supporters that he will make at least one more signing.

    He said, “There are so many things to do.”. “The transfer period has begun. I could easily fill them if my day had 28 hours at the moment.

    “With all the things you have to do, my main focus and energy must go into the training sessions, so that’s what I do. After the sessions, I can try to assist with other things.

    The first game of the season is still three and a half weeks away. There are undoubtedly a few transfer market-related events that need to take place before then. That is now obvious. And it will take place.
    There must be a change of players.
    We’ll have a strong team. “.

    Reportedly the club and Liverpool are close to reaching a deal to sell the star who earns £33.8m annually.
    The future of Kylian Mbappe in France is unclear, and reports suggest that PSG is prepared to reach an agreement to sell him to Liverpool.

    We covered a report earlier today (via AS) that the Reds are preparing a sizable offer for the Frenchman, who may cost up to £173 million.

    Fichajes, a different Spanish source, recently claimed that PSG had specifically contacted the Merseysiders to offer them the services of Mbappe.

    Real Madrid, who are still motivated to sign him, are said to be the 24-year-old star’s preferred location.

    The Les Bleus forward, who as a teenager won the FIFA World Cup in 2018, has always admired Jurgen Klopp’s squad and claimed that Liverpool are a “machine” back in 2020 (BBC).

    The Reds had been on an amazing winning streak and were the reigning European champions at the time.

    Now, though, things are entirely different because the Liverpool club won’t be competing in Europe’s top league, the UEFA Champions League, in the upcoming campaign.

    Therefore, even the most optimistic fans probably wouldn’t think that Mbappe would want to give up playing in the Champions League to join Liverpool.

    The above-mentioned £173 million asking price as well as his annual salary of £33 point 8 million would be prohibitive for Fenway Sports Group.

    What do you think—should Liverpool supporters hope to sign Kylian Mbappe?

    Kylian Mbappé could thwart a summer transfer plan by Manchester United, and Erik ten Hag might choose to sign a player who has been linked to the Reds.

    With only three weeks until the start of the new Premier League season, it seems like many clubs, including Liverpool, still have a lot of work to do in order to be prepared.

    While Manchester City is interested in RB Leipzig’s Joko Gvardiol but has not yet been able to finalize a deal, Chelsea’s squad still lacks a quality midfielder as the pursuit of Moisés Caicedo has not yet come to a close. Mateo Kovai, who was acquired from Chelsea, is excellent when he performs at his peak, but he will need to work very hard to match the impact of lkay Gündoan, who moved to Barcelona.

    Tottenham still hasn’t found a resolution to the Harry Kane saga because Bayern Munich is interested in the striker, and Newcastle United has more work to do now that Sandro Tonali and Harvey Barnes have joined the team.

    Before the season starts, Liverpool needs at least one more midfielder, and Manchester United, despite adding Mason Mount and a goalkeeper, still requires more offensive firepower to keep up with its rivals.

    Sofyan Amrabat transfer latest 

    Kylian Mbappé could thwart a summer transfer plan by Manchester United, and Erik ten Hag might choose to sign a player who has been linked
    Manchester United is reportedly interested in signing Moroccan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, who has been linked with Liverpool. However, it is premature to say that the Old Trafford club has made an offer for the 26-year-old.

    Amrabat, who is entering the final year of his contract, is generating interest from a number of parties and is valued at $33 million (£26 million/€30 million) by Fiorentina, who would be open to letting him leave. The player is also being pursued by Atlético Madrid and clubs in Saudi Arabia in addition to Liverpool and Manchester United.

    Of all the rumored Amrabat suitors, Liverpool’s need for a defensive midfielder is the greatest, according to Liverpool . com, but it is still unclear which player the Reds will turn to for that position. In a week or two, everything will become clear.

    Manchester United’s search for a striker could be impacted by Kylian Mbappé.

    Despite not moving to Liverpool this summer, Kylian Mbappé could still help the Reds beat Manchester United in the standings next year if PSG is forced to compete for the services of a crucial Erik ten Hag transfer target.

    Rasmus Hjlund of Atalanta has been targeted by Manchester United, who is in desperate need of a number nine to enter the game and score goals. There aren’t many other obvious options for strikers on the market.

    But now that Mbappé is up for sale, PSG is lining up Hjlund as a replacement and may even sell Hugo Ekitike in exchange, according to Sacha Tovalieri of RMC Sport. PSG believes that Mbappé will sign a free transfer agreement with Real Madrid next summer.

    The Serie A team was already considering Ekitike, which might make them receptive to signing him, while Manchester United and PSG were looking for ways to reduce the $111 million (£87 million/€100 million) asking price for Hjlund.

    Even if Hjlund signs with Manchester United, as a 20-year-old moving to a major team, there is no guarantee that he will make an immediate impact and feel at home, according to Liverpool . com.

    He will be an enormous investment for whoever takes the risk, but Ten Hag’s problem with finding a number nine is similar to Liverpool’s problem with replacing Fabinho in that there aren’t many obvious options to consider that aren’t either valued at enormous sums or would involve big risks.
