Jürgen Klopp’submits bid to Real Madrid’ amid $300 million FSG ‘decision’, according to Liverpool transfer reports.

Liverpool transfer news: The Reds have reportedly made a $77m bid for a midfielder from Real Madrid, while FSG have also reportedly considered a highly unlikely $300m move.

As Liverpool fans enjoy a break from the relentless football schedule, attention has turned to who could add to Jurgen Klopp’s squad ahead of the start of the new season.

Liverpool’s first players will return for the first day of a lengthy pre-season in just over a week, with many more sidelined for slightly longer after playing for their country internationally .

But so far, the transfer market hasn’t really taken off. Liverpool have signed Alexis Mac Allister and other players are expected to follow, but few other major moves have been announced.

Mason Mount and Declan Rice are among those who have been subject to offers from various quarters, while Bayern Munich, reports The Athletic, today made an opening bid for Harry Kane.

If the first big deal goes through, it could possibly set off something of a domino effect, with potentially no bigger names on the transfer market than PSG and French forward Kylian Mbappé.

Fede Valverde (Real Madrid)

Real Madrid’s midfield is certainly full with the arrival of Jude Bellingham this summer, Luka Modrić already at the club and Aurélien Tchouaméni who chose the La Liga squad over Liverpool last summer.

But it would still be a surprise to see Fede Valverde sell.

The 24-year-old Uruguayan would be perfect under Jürgen Klopp, but taking him away from Real Madrid would be a very difficult task.

Despite this, Spanish newspaper El Nacional reports that after allegedly rejecting a bid worth $99m (£77m/€90m) last summer, Liverpool are back this summer. with a lower new bid of just $77m (£60m/€70m). returned. .

Liverpool.com says: As Real Madrid look to sign Kylian Mbappe, it’s possible some players will have to be sacrificed to fund this mega move. However, it remains to be seen if Valverde will be one of those players. If it’s even remotely possible, Liverpool should explore – but time will tell.

Kylian Mbappe (PSG)

Liverpool and owner FSG have decided internally that they will be willing to shell out a huge sum of money for Kylian Mbappé this summer, with MARCA hinting a mega move could be on the cards in an exclusive chat with the agent. FIFA Marco Kirdemir.

The Spanish outlet claim Kirdemir has ‘a very good relationship with insiders in Saudi Arabia and Qatar’ and the Reds are ready and able to shell out $300m (£236m/€274m) for Mbappe.

PSG are “very angry” and “angry” that Mbappé has told them he will not renew his contract and rather than lose him for nothing, would be willing to do business now at the right price. Obviously Real Madrid are also enthusiastic.

Liverpool.com says: There is absolutely no chance Liverpool will spend that kind of money on a player.

As we explained earlier in this piece, Liverpool greatly admire Mbappé – obviously – but there’s a difference between that and actually being able to afford the transfer fee (not to mention salary) demanded by a player of that calibre.

Liverpool’s 24-year-old player will be fantastic, according to Jurgen Klopp, next season.

Jurgen Klopp would expect Darwin Nunez to shine for Liverpool next season after an uneven first year in the Premier League at Anfield.

According to Athletic, the German manager has high expectations for the 24-year-old striker, who scored 15 goals in his first season on Merseyside after Nunez completed a blockbuster transfer from Benfica to Liverpool that could cost up to £85m.

With Roberto Firmino leaving Liverpool, Nunez is expected to be given more minutes as Klopp looks to split playing time between his five-star strikers. And the Uruguayan international could make a name for himself in the new season.

In UEFA Europa League football, Nunez could become a Liverpool regular, making Klopp’s new task of juggling the team’s fitness while challenging for the Premier League title a challenge the former Benfica star could happily accept.

With Nunez now more accustomed to the Premier League and playing for Liverpool, fans expect him to improve on his goalscoring tally from last season, a feat the 24-year-old could easily match if he gives his brand new season. .

Klopp is right to demand more of Nunez in his second season at Liverpool

Nunez arrived at Liverpool this summer with one of Europe’s biggest shouts and while 15 goals isn’t a bad tally for a striker making his Premier League debut, many fans and critics were expecting more. . And Klopp has every right to demand more from the striker next season.

In fact, Nunez has grown in confidence with every game in England and for Liverpool.

And with the Reds entering a whole new world with the Europa League next year, the South American talisman could become the attacking leader of the Anfield side if all goes well for the former Benfica star.

Liverpool presently actively trying to sell ‘excellent’ 22-year-old player

Liverpool are reportedly interested in selling Rhys Williams this summer, with a number of clubs already targeting the 22-year-old centre-back.

According to the Liverpool Echo, the Reds are open to sacking the England youth international as he made no progress in his memorable 2019-20 season, with Aberdeen interested in signing Williams on a permanent deal this summer.

Williams has been loaned out in the Championship for the past two seasons but hasn’t made a big name for himself since he arrived on the scene three years ago. Scotland is now a likely destination for the Preston-born defender.

Once labeled an ‘excellent’ player by Jurgen Klopp, many Liverpool fans will be saddened to see Williams leave Anfield for good should an offer for the defender arrive this summer.

However, a permanent departure from Merseyside could be just what the youngster needs to kick-start his career.

Indeed, Williams have seen little development despite spending the last two seasons on loan at Swansea City and Blackpool respectively.

And a full-time move from Liverpool could be just what the youngster needs to return to his full potential and fulfill his exciting potential.

Liverpool might be willing to make an 80 million euro offer for the 26 year old target.

Liverpool are still linked to a move by Inter Milan midfielder Nicolò Barella.

The 26-year-old has been a key player for club and country in recent seasons and was recently linked with a departure from Italy.

Liverpool are in need of reinforcements in central midfield and the 26-year-old Italy international could prove to be a quality asset.

Stretcher adds creativity, control and technical prowess to the middle of the park.

Liverpool struggled to control matches last season and some like Barella will help them keep possession and use the ball better.

Barella was a key player in Inter’s run to the UEFA Champions League final last season and would be an upgrade for the likes of Jordan Henderson.

Furthermore, Liverpool parted ways with James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita on a free transfer. They will need to adequately replace these players.

They have so far attracted Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and Hove Albion.

They need more reinforcements in midfield and Barella certainly fits the profile. According to Italian outlet Il Tempo (h/t Paisley Gates), Liverpool could be ready to offer €80m for the Italy international.

Barella is at the peak of his powers and could immediately improve Liverpool. He has the technical ability to thrive in English football and could be a key player for Jurgen Klopp next season.

The Italian recently helped his country win the European Championship and knows what it takes to win big trophies.

The midfielder also recently won the Italian league with Inter Milan. Although €80m might seem like a high price, Liverpool would certainly get a quality player in return.

Kylian Mbappe agreed moving to Liverpool in a private conversation. After’strong interest’ was expressed,

Liverpool have started the summer transfer window well with Paris Saint-Germain and French star Kylian Mbappé already giving Jürgen Klopp’s plans a huge boost

Paris Saint-Germain sensation Kylian Mbappé appears to have approved the move from Liverpool to winger Jeremy Doku.

Reports have surfaced in France in recent days that the Reds and Jurgen Klopp have a “strong interest” in the Belgian full-back. The draws come after Doku enjoyed his most productive season for Rennes with seven goals to his name in all competitions last season.

His form helped the French side finish fourth in Ligue 1 to secure a place in the group stage of the Europa League, the sixth consecutive season in European football. One man who has been impressed by Doku’s performances in recent campaigns has been French striker Mbappé.

He revealed he discussed the striker in a chat with his dad and was a big fan of his talents. “I recently spoke to my father about a player who impressed me with his qualities of speed, namely Doku, in Rennes”, said Mbappé in June 2021.

“In my five years as a professional, I have never seen anyone demonstrate so much strength from a standing start.”

Doku, 21, has made 90 appearances for Rennes since joining from Belgian giants Anderlecht. During that time, he recorded 11 goals and ten assists in all competitions, while creating opportunities at international level with 14 appearances for Belgium.

It’s not the first time Liverpool have been linked with a winger move. Already in 2017 he was invited to Merseyside but decided to stay in Anderlecht.

Rumor has it that the youngster has also been considered by Reds and Premier League rivals Chelsea ahead of the World Cup. Given this interest, Doku also praises Manchester City’s three-time winner Kevin De Bruyne.

After scoring his first international goal, the striker said: “He [Doku] is nimble, quick and he can dribble. Of course, sometimes he makes mistakes, but who doesn’t? It’s a diamond in the rough. »

Doku has two years left on his contract in France and should Liverpool seek a deal in the near future, he would be Merseyside’s other new face. Liverpool have already managed to secure the £45m signing of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton.

Meanwhile, there has been a slight change in their attack with the departure of Roberto Firmino – who could make room for Doku. Luis Diaz is also expected to play a much bigger role in the next term.

The Colombian is now free from the injury problems that plagued him in his previous season and has also been given the Reds’ iconic number seven shirt coat.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has discovered “his own Fernando Torres,” but he confronts an £85 million conundrum.

Jurgen Klopp has been told he has his own Fernando Torres at Liverpool.

Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is Jurgen Klopp’s own Fernandes Torres, claims ex-Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino.

The pundit has questioned how Klopp will use his Uruguayan frontman next season after a mixed debut campaign in English football.

Liverpool signed Nunez last summer for a fee that could rise to £85million. It will break the club’s transfer record once certain add-ons are reached.

The 24-year-old was not able to have the impact many hoped for last season. He started just 19 Premier League matches, coming off the bench on nine other occasions.

Nunez scored nine times and registered three assists, as well as netting four times in the Champions League. But he had to settle for a place for much of the latter stages of the season.

Cascarino has compared Nunez to former Reds striker Torres but more because of the Spaniard’s spell at Chelsea.

Torres often fought in front of the goal when he played for the blues and could not do justice to his price tag of 50 million GBP.

Cascarino says that there are similarities to Nunez and is fascinated to see how Klopp uses him after such a great effort in relation to a transmission fee in the next term.

He said about talk sport: “I am really fascinated what he is doing with Nunez. He regularly found himself out of the team towards the end of the season.

“You paid £ 80 million for him and he has not improved. Liverpool fans, they were a bit like Chelsea fans were with Torres, really willing him on to keep going and going and going.

“Chelsea fans were fantastic with Torres and likewise with Timo Werner. Liverpool fans were that to Nunez, they always sang his name, they always were willing and knowing he was trying for them. But he’s got to be better for Liverpool next year.”

Liverpool missed out on the Premier League top four last season and therefore Champions League qualification.

Cascarino says some of the performances were of particular concern but has backed Klopp to turn it around. He added: “There were some terrible versions. Naples removed in the Champions League for me.

“Brentford’s performance, the way Brentford played against Liverpool, found really difficult.

Many other games, even Arsenal disappeared, I thought they were really bad, even if sometimes it was a close match, I thought Still it was a poor goods.

“They have had difficult versions for Liverpool fans. It must be better and I believe he is the man for it.

With his future still unclear following his move to Paris Saint-Germain, FIFA chief agent Marco Kirdemir says the Qatari management are very upset with the Frenchman’s decision not to renew his contract with the club. beyond 2024. Liverpool are ready to pay more than $300 million

Mbappé is the headliner of the summer transfer market and although he can be found on the covers of football and sports magazines around the world, the market is huge and constantly on the move. Marco Kirdemir is now a FIFA agent and knows what a lot of agents have to do: “There will be news next week.” We will have news from England and Germany.

Even if everything indicates that it will be this summer and at Real Madrid, according to Kirdemir, Florentino Perez has a competitor: “Liverpool are a competitor of Real Madrid and would like to pay a fortune for Mbappé, the fortune he speaks of would be around the lie from 300 million”. “. lie.” .”

Another name mentioned was “Luka Modric” because he was tempted by tempting offers from Saudi Arabia. However, it has just been confirmed that Modric will remain with Real Madrid for the 23/24 season.

Brazilian teammate is perplexed as Mohamed Salah signs with a Saudi club.

One Brazilian team member believed they were getting the real deal.

After learning that his club had signed Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool winger’s namesake and not the real deal, an Al-Adalah player revealed that he experienced a flurry of emotions.

The Saudi Pro League in 2023 has drawn a large number of football players who are in their later years. Soon after the World Cup ended, Cristiano Ronaldo signed a contract with Al-Nassr. This summer, other players from Europe have also moved to the Middle East, including Karim Benzema of Real Madrid, the trio of N’Golo Kante, Edouard Mendy, and Kalidou Koulibaly from Chelsea, and Ruben Neves of Wolves.

Salah’s name would therefore be strongly associated with a multi-million pound move to Saudi Arabia right now if he hadn’t signed a three-year contract extension at Anfield last summer.

When he heard about his team’s most recent acquisition, Edson, a Brazilian defensive midfielder who plays for Al-Adalah, mistakenly thought the Egyptian King had been acquired by his team. In his native country, he described how at first he even rejoiced at the news in an interview with ESPN.

Regarding Salah, I thought it belonged to Liverpool, he said. I was hoping that would be the end of it, but it wasn’t. If Salah went there, it wouldn’t be out of this world because Arab football is expanding rapidly every year. “.

The player in question was a left back from Saudi Arabia.

In England, criticism of the Pro League’s expanding financial clout has been met with demands for a transfer embargo from Gary Neville and questions from former Reds striker Peter Crouch regarding the transfer of Neves in particular.

Although he did so with a positive attitude, Edson also discussed the league’s expanding financial power during his interview.

“There is a lot of investment being made in Arab football, and the goal is to build a stronger league every year. I’m excited to take part in the magic that is happening in that game of football right now.

‘They have always made investments. Saudi Federation, league, and presidents. However, investment power has been rising every year, and it has now increased even more. This is advantageous for the nation, which loves football a lot.

There is still much room for growth in this nation. All other players will naturally want to go if the top players go there. The other wants to go if the first one does. In this crucial situation, I’m honored to represent the club.

“They have a plan for 2030, and their goal is to transform Saudi Arabia as they did Dubai. They are making significant investments in the design of cities to entice tourists. I have no doubt that the Saudi Championship will rank among the top six or seven worldwide. Because it expands significantly each year, I have no doubts about that. “.

LIVERPOOL SHOULD GO FOR THREE PLAYERS IF MOHAMED SALAH WERE TO LEAVE.

Reports in recent days have linked Paris-Saint Germain with a move for Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah as Kylian Mbappe’s future at the club is once again in a pit of uncertainty.

Whether this summer or in the years to come, Salah will eventually have to leave the club and the club should look into alternative options to prepare for that situation.

In this article, we take a look at three forwards Liverpool should target if the Egyptian king looks to leave the club.
RAPHINHA:

The first name on our list is Raphinha, a Barcelona and Brazil winger.

Having just joined Spanish champions Leeds United last summer, he may be starting to move again, with some suggesting he is struggling to find a place for Ousmane Dembele.

Raphinha fits the profile of a left-footed inside striker perfectly, attacking from the right as Salah has done for the past six years.
The 26-year-old scored ten goals and assisted 12 for Barcelona in all competitions last season.

It’s also important to note that he has Premier League experience, scoring 12 goals and providing 17 assists in two seasons for a struggling Leeds United side.

Liverpool were linked with a move for the Brazilian last summer but made no concrete move for the winger as they secured the signing of Darwin Nunez instead.

Barcelona would likely demand a transfer fee of around £60m for the winger after spending £50m on the striker last year.

DEMBELE OUSMANE:

The second player on this list is Raphinha’s Barcelona teammate Ousmane Demebele.
Dembele has been consistently linked with a departure from Barcelona throughout his time at the club, but it appears he is starting to settle in under Xavi’s coaching.

With eight goals and nine assists last season, it’s clear the French international has an eye for goals, which is hugely important as a winger under Jurgen Klopp.

The 26-year-old is also naturally two legged which means he can play as a forward on either wing, although the Reds are already good on the left wing with the likes of Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo all in able to play that side.

Since his £120m transfer from Borussia Dortmund, he has scored 40 goals and 43 assists in 185 appearances for the club in all competitions. A move for the world champions would likely cost around £60million after Dembele recently signed a long-term deal for the La Liga champions.

BUKAYO SAKA:

Perhaps the wackiest option on this list, a transfer of Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka would be perfect for the Reds.

It would certainly be more of a long-term option for two to three years depending on how both clubs perform.
At the moment, that move would be next to impossible, but if Arsenal’s success were short-lived, Liverpool should rise to the top of the list of English wonderkids.

Saka is a left-footed inside striker who fits in on the right side of Arsenal’s front three. The 21-year-old scored 15 goals and provided 11 assists for the Gunners in all competitions last season, with some of those goal contributions being against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.

As well as performing well for Arsenal, Saka has become an integral part of Gareth Southgate’s England side, scoring eight goals in 26 appearances for the national team.

It’s impossible to predict how much Saka would be worth in a few years time and of course the move is highly unlikely to happen, but he would be a perfect fit at Anfield.

Liverpool considering a summer move for versatile 17-goal striker

Liverpool have been linked with a transfer of Japanese attacking midfielder Keito Nakamura.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, Liverpool will have to compete for their signature with Premier League rivals Aston Villa.

The Japan international was in fine form last season, scoring 17 goals for LASK in all competitions in Austria.
The Reds need to add more goals and creativity to their midfield and Nakamura would be a great acquisition.

The 22-year-old can play as both a central attacking midfielder and a winger. His versatility will be an added bonus for Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp.

The striker is said to have a contract with LASK until the summer of 2025 and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool can agree a reasonable transfer fee for him.

The Japan international is expected to leave the Austrian club this summer and the possibility of a move to the Premier League would be an attractive option for him.

It would be a big step in his career and Liverpool could give him the platform to show his skills at a higher level.

It was a disappointing season for Liverpool and they failed to qualify for the Champions League. They need to improve their roster to get back into the top four and fight for big trophies again.

Signing someone like Nakamura would definitely help them improve in the final third.
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can fend off competition from clubs like Aston Villa and sign the Japanese striker in the coming weeks.

Kylian Mbappé could initiate a transfer effect to give Liverpool chance at $108m ‘untouchable’

Kylian Mbappé could leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer, with a possible transfer carousel opening up options for Liverpool’s scouting squad.

Kylian Mbappé surprised the footballing world on Monday night when he questioned his future in France.

The global superstar sent a letter to his club, Paris Saint-Germain, informing them that he would not be exercising the option to extend his contract for another year (according to Sky Sports).

As a result, Mbappé currently has a contract that expires in 12 months, meaning PSG stand to lose him for free unless he is sold this summer.

What will happen remains to be seen, but it is curious that such details emerged just a week after Karim Benzema left Real Madrid to join Saudi Professional League club Al-Ittihad.

At the moment, the Spanish giant does not have a starting striker at the club, so a transfer from Mbappé could work perfectly in the coming months. However, if Real Madrid explore the prospect of buying the Frenchman, they may need to raise cash through the sale of players.

Real Madrid chairman Florentino Pérez is said to be on the verge of signing former Liverpool target Jude Bellingham this summer (per Sky Sports). The English prodigy looks set to sign for Borussia Dortmund, but signing him will cost an exorbitant price.

Real Madrid may struggle to fund high-profile moves for Bellingham and Mbappé in the same window, which explains why Pérez and Carlo Ancelotti may be willing to sell some players. On tour at the Santiago Bernabéu squad, one player in particular seems ideal for Jurgen Klopp’s needs.

Federico Valverde is fully committed to Real Madrid and maybe that’s an understatement.

Earlier this year, the Uruguay international was asked about his future in the capital while filming Apple TV’s upcoming documentary about the Spanish club. “To get me out of Real Madrid they have to kill me,” he said.

In fact, Valverde has been labeled ‘untouchable in this team’ by his current manager. The South American midfielder is just 24 and well ahead of his prime, but if Real Madrid are distracted by Mbappé and Bellingham, he could be a player to make himself available.

Spanish outlet Relevo recently reported that Valverde is no longer as non-transferable as he once was. Real Madrid want to keep him but could raise a significant amount of transfer funds for Pérez to pitch to Mbappé and Bellingham, while Liverpool are on the hunt for midfielders.

El Nacional say Liverpool have made an initial $65m (£51m/€60m) offer for Valverde. But this has apparently been firmly rejected, with Pérez refusing to even discuss the possibility unless a $108m (£86m/€100m) offer is made. Alexis Mac Allister has already been added to Klopp’s ranks this summer but more additions are needed.

Additionally, many of the midfielders being considered for a move to Anfield tend to prefer the left side of the pitch, including Mac Allister, Khéphren Thuram and Manu Koné to name a few, but Valverde is a right-wing player. , eh would benefit the Reds.

He is as intense, hard-working and industrious as can be. The Uruguay international looks like the right fit for Klopp and joining Klopp would fill a key need, but there is still a lot to do this summer for the transfer carousel to finally benefit Liverpool in the market.

Overall, Klopp needs to keep an eye on the situation between Bellingham, Mbappé and Valverde as he looks to revamp his engine room ahead of next season.

Liverpool is prepared to offer £30 million to acquire the Serie A superstar.

Liverpool might make a £30 million bid to sign Federico Chiesa to test the Juventus waters.
According to the Italian publication Calciomercato (via Liverpool Echo), Liverpool will make Juventus a £30 million offer to sign Italian international Federico Chiesa this summer as a test.

According to the report, the player’s future in Turin is in doubt, and Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Newcastle United are also interested in him.

Chiesa has missed a lot of Juventus games since playing a key role in Italy’s victory at the Euros 2021. Totaling 62 games, he has missed them.

for a player who was at the pinnacle of his career after success on the international stage, in the last two seasons (2021–2022 and 2022–2023), which is a lot.

The 25-year-old forward, who can also play as the number nine, is a versatile player who can play on either wing. He plays with great pace, great finishing ability, and good technical value.

In the last three transfer windows, the club heavily invested in bolstering the forward line. Now is the time to spend the majority of the budget on top midfielders, and possibly add one or two defenders as well.

Finally, even if Liverpool is set on signing Chiesa, his injury history over the previous two seasons isn’t promising (as evidenced by the numbers mentioned above). After losing Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Klopp would prefer not to have any more injury-prone players on his team.

Mauricio Pochettino’s attack was revitalized when Kylian Mbappe was “signed” by us for Chelsea.

We ran a simulation of the 2023–24 season with Kylian Mbappe at Chelsea to see if the PSG forward could turn around the Blues after making a significant transfer.

One of the many teams who might complete a transfer for the striker is Chelsea, and Kylian Mbappe is once more being linked with a move away from Paris Saint-Germain.

After appearing almost certain to sign with Real Madrid last summer, Mbappe decided to change his mind and commit his future to PSG for an additional two years, with the possibility of an additional year’s extension. Nevertheless, it appears that the Frenchman will reject the extension, which means the French Champions run the risk of losing their most valuable asset for nothing when the current contract expires in a year, fueling speculation about a summer transfer.

As usual, Madrid are the favorites to sign him, but Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City have also been connected to the 2022 World Cup’s leading scorer.

The Blues won’t likely be in the running to sign him, but PSG might be willing to sell for a fair price if they don’t want to risk losing him for nothing next summer.

We ran simulations for the upcoming season to see how Mbappe might perform if he were to join Chelsea.

With Kylian Mbappe, Chelsea’s 2023–24 season was simulated.

Using Football Manager 2023, we moved Mbappe to Chelsea on July 1, 2023, and then we simulated the 2023–24 season. The Frenchman performed in this manner.

Mbappe, 24, became the focal point of Chelsea’s attack as was to be expected after the high-profile transfer; he made more appearances for the Blues than any other forward during the 2023–24 season. Mbappe finished the season as the Premier League’s leading scorer with 28 goals and 10 assists across all competitions.

Erling Haaland (26) and Darwin Nunez (24) lost out on the golden boot to him because 27 of his 28 goals came in the league. The striker also recorded the highest rating in the Chelsea team, a 7 point 41 average rating per game.

Under Pochettino, Enzo Fernandez rose to unprecedented heights, scoring 14 goals, dishing out 13 assists, and winning nine Player of the Match awards—one more than Kylian Mbappe. Raheem Sterling had a successful season in which he scored 15 goals, and Mykhailo Mudryk and Christopher Nkunku also performed admirably.

Football Manager 2023 assembled an all-time best Chelsea XI at the conclusion of the 2023–24 season based on performances, statistics, and other factors. This is how it appeared:.

Kepa; Fofana, Badiashile, Silva; James, Mount, Fernandez, Chilwell; Nkunku, Mudryk; Mbappe make up the entire Chelsea best XI (3-4-2-1).

Christopher Nkunku is set to join Chelsea in the summer transfer window, having signed a preliminary contract last year before moving to Stamford Bridge for £52million.

Christopher Nkunku has answered questions about his likely move to Chelsea this summer during his international cap with France.

The Frenchman signed a preliminary contract last year and will complete a £52m move to Stamford Bridge ahead of next season, according to football. london.

The 25-year-old won the Bundesliga Golden Boot – despite missing two months of the season through injury – scoring 16 goals in just 25 league appearances.

Chelsea are in desperate need of a goalscorer after Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling were the Blues’ top scorers last season with nine goals each.

“The signs are very, very clear that he is moving to Chelsea,” RB Leipzig sporting director Max Eberl told BILD recently. Nkunku scored a goal and provided an assist as he helped Leipzig win the DFB-Pokal in his last appearance for the German side.

Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana has been asked about his compatriot’s arrival ahead of the summer transfer window. Fofana replied: “If that happens, I will be very happy.”

However, Nkunku remained hesitant about his future and the summer transfer window, saying on international duty:

“My goal is to get closer to Les Bleus. We will have time to think about everything that will happen next.

Asked about his preferred position and where he could play under Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge, Nkunku added:

“I play where the manager decides.” I don’t want to be a problem but a solution.
“But I can be in front, in support or on the sides. I have the ability to adapt, I like being free.”

Mauricio Pochettino’s comments about Chelsea’s Kylian Mbappe transfer situation speak volumes.

After making it clear he would like to extend his current contract, which is set to expire next year, Kylian Mbappe may be traded by Paris Saint-Germain during the summer transfer window.

After appointing Mauricio Pochettino as manager, Chelsea might reconsider making a surprise move to sign Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe. The Argentinean signed a two-year contract with Stamford Bridge, with an option for an additional year. He will start working there on July 1.

Since leaving PSG at the end of the 2021–2022, when they won the Ligue 1 championship with Mbappe as a key member, Pochettino has been jobless. Pochettino had a difficult 18 months managing several elite players, including Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe, so it was not a smooth time as manager in Paris.

Four months after being fired at Parc des Princes, in November, Pochettino didn’t mince words in his criticism of the French superstar, questioning his maturity and implying that he had a selfish side to his game. Mbappe is still a young player and is younger than Messi and Neymar, according to Pochettino.

He is a beast. Despite his strong charisma, he still needs to discover who he is.

“Leo and Ney are complete players. While Kylian continues to look for himself, the others are more responsible in different ways. “.

Mbappe has changed both as a player and a person since his time with Pochettino, but if Chelsea makes a surprise move for the 24-year-old striker, it seems that he might be more of a hindrance than a help. Mbappe is without a doubt one of the best players in history and has the potential to become even better, but Chelsea may not be able to afford to sign him as they look to create a new ethos and future at Stamford Bridge under Pochettino following a disastrous 2022–23 season.

Following his decision not to extend his contract at the French team, the PSG star has commented on rumors that he is considering a move to Real Madrid.

On Tuesday afternoon, the 24-year-old tweeted: “LIES.

In addition, I have already stated that I will stay at PSG for the upcoming season because I am very happy there. The bigger it is, the faster it moves. “.

‘Done’ according to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea will now confirm its first summer signing next week.

Fabrizio Romano now asserts that Chelsea will reveal the acquisition of Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig the following week.

Once the deal was finalized late last year for the Blues to sign him, he posted a message on Twitter to confirm the news.

It has been widely reported that a deal for Nkunku was reached almost immediately after the previous summer transfer window closed.

Before the season even started, they set him as a target to sign, but they encountered problems when he agreed to a new contract with a Bundesliga team.

However, rumors started to circulate that the Blues had made attempts to sign him and that his contract with the German club contained a release clause.

Nkunku is scheduled to begin next week.

Romano has now confirmed that the deal will be disclosed after Nkunku has finished competing for his country in a week.

No modifications, problems, or issues with the Christopher Nkunku deal, he declared.

‘Understand Chelsea originally agreed with RB Leipzig to announce Nkunku after his final games of the season with France (June 19). Contract signed in December; medical completed in September (!).
”.

After much silence since they initially thought they had signed him, supporters will be thrilled to hear an announcement for the signing.

It is now time for the team to move on to other candidates who will be strengthening their team in preparation for new manager Mauricio Pochettino’s attempt to rebuild.

They appear to have prioritized a deal for Moises Caicedo of Brighton after missing out on the addition of Manuel Ugarte, but this will probably cost them a significant sum of money.

Mauricio Pochettino already pledged the “next Kylian Mbappe,” as Chelsea’s $160 million transfer hope was crashed

Although Todd Boehly has already signed a replacement for Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea will almost certainly lose the race to sign Kylian Mbappe this summer.

Mauricio Pochettino has been informed that Chelsea already has his own Kylian Mbappe. Given that his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires in a year, the 24-year-old forward’s future there is becoming more and more uncertain, and he is rumored to be moving this summer.

L’Equipe claims that Mbappe wrote to the Parisians to express his desire to leave Les Parc des Princes after the upcoming season. According to the report, PSG was incensed by the announcement’s timing and has decided to make a profit on the France international rather than take the chance of losing him for nothing in 2024.

A few hours later, Le Parisien published an article in which it was claimed that Mbappe was eyeing a transfer to Real Madrid. On Twitter, the Frenchman quickly dispelled the rumors of a transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu, writing: “At the same time, the bigger it is, the more it passes. I’ve already stated that I’ll stay at PSG, where I’m very happy, for the upcoming season.
“.

The New York Times reports that PSG would demand at least £160 million for Mbappe’s signature if he were to leave the French capital this summer, a world record fee. Luckily for Pochettino, Chelsea has already signed Mykhailo Mudryk as a replacement.

The former Shakhtar Donetsk and current Dynamo Kyiv boss insisted in a 2017 interview with Emanuel Rosu that the Ukrainian’s “qualities cannot be questioned.”. It will be great to see Mudryk play at a higher level than he is now, according to Mircea Lucescu, who claimed that Mudryk is a carbon copy of Mbappe. His abilities and viewpoints are indisputable. “.

Mudryk has had trouble making an impression during his first Premier League season, despite displaying flashes of magic. The 22-year-old winger has yet to score his first goal for the Blues and has only played 90 minutes once in the English Premier League.

He was never given a stretch of games to really get his feet under the table, starting only seven games and coming off the bench in the other eight. However, Chelsea will be hoping that Pochettino, who has been appointed as the team’s new manager, can help Mudryk realize his potential as the next Mbappe given the possibility of a fresh start under his leadership.

The Ukrainian also seems ready to go above and beyond to improve his performances. The Times reports that Mudryk is prepared to represent his nation in the upcoming European Under-21s Championship in order to regain his form in time for the upcoming season.

Whether or not he will actually be in the team for the tournament is still up in the air, according to the report, but Chelsea has supported his choice. Mudryk is still eligible for this summer’s competition in Romania and Georgia even though he is a member of the senior squad.

He will miss the first seven days of Pochettino’s preseason if he leads Ukraine to the Under-21s tournament final.

Christopher Nkunku breaks his silence on Chelsea transfer with a message from Mauricio Pochettino

Christopher Nkunku is set to join Chelsea in the summer transfer window, having signed a preliminary contract last year before moving to Stamford Bridge for £52million.

Christopher Nkunku has answered questions about his likely move to Chelsea this summer during his international cap with France.

The Frenchman signed a preliminary contract last year and will complete a £52m move to Stamford Bridge ahead of next season, according to football. london.

The 25-year-old won the Bundesliga Golden Boot – despite missing two months of the season through injury – scoring 16 goals in just 25 league appearances.

Chelsea are in desperate need of a goalscorer after Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling were the Blues’ top scorers last season with nine goals each.

“The signs are very, very clear that he is moving to Chelsea,” RB Leipzig sporting director Max Eberl told BILD recently. Nkunku scored a goal and provided an assist as he helped Leipzig win the DFB-Pokal in his last appearance for the German side.

Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana has been asked about his compatriot’s arrival ahead of the summer transfer window. Fofana replied: “If that happens, I will be very happy.”

However, Nkunku remained hesitant about his future and the summer transfer window, saying on international duty:

“My goal is to get closer to Les Bleus. We will have time to think about everything that will happen next.

Asked about his preferred position and where he could play under Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge, Nkunku added:

“I play where the manager decides.” I don’t want to be a problem but a solution.
“But I can be in front, in support or on the sides. I have the ability to adapt, I like being free.”

Kylian Mbappé ought to pay attention to the Liverpool transfer message, After the unexpected PSG contract decision.

A message from a former Liverpool player might help Kylian Mbappé think through his next move as his time at PSG appears to be coming to an end.

Many Liverpool supporters have had long-held fantasies about signing Kylian Mbappé. Unfortunately, for the same amount of time, it has seemed to be nothing more than a dream.

The transfer link has continued, despite this. The fact that Liverpool made attempts to sign Mbappé, ostensibly more than once, is more-or-less public knowledge. Ahead of his most recent contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain, the player himself most recently confirmed in an interview with The Telegraph that negotiations took place.

Therefore, some credit must be given for the incredible possibility. And now that Mbappé has chosen not to activate an extension that would have kept him at PSG until 2025 (according to Sky Sports), it might be time for him to pay attention to a recent transfer message.

Several media outlets have reported that the French superstar has written to PSG to inform the club he won’t be extending his stay. His current contract is set to expire the following year, and the Ligue 1 champion may decide to sell him this summer.

Real Madrid, who, unlike the Reds, can boast Champions League football next season, is the other suitor who has been frequently mentioned in connection with Mbappé, which does not help any remaining Liverpool transfer hopes. But it appears that the French star will have to leave PSG soon regardless of the situation for the sake of his career.

Djibril Cissé also urged Mbappé to think about Liverpool in a conversation he had with Lord Ping earlier this year.

“I want to watch Kylian Mbappé play for Liverpool. He is in the ideal league, in my opinion. Look at what Mo Salah is doing right now; he could accomplish the same things. I would love to see Mbappé there because elite teams need elite players, but I am aware that many teams want him. “.

Salah should undoubtedly be a key selling point for any forward looking to advance to the next level. The Egyptian has not only won everything at Liverpool, but he has also greatly improved his own reputation, going from being a “flop” to one of the all-time greats in the Premier League.

No one has ever referred to Mbappé as a failure. However, the longer he waits to put himself to the test outside of PSG and to give himself a legitimate chance at Champions League glory, the more he will be seen as a wasted talent. He already seems to be losing the title of generational Golden Boy to Erling Haaland.

Mbappé will therefore be thinking about his best course of action as his time at PSG appears to be coming to an end. Although moving to Liverpool is obviously unlikely, perhaps Cissé’s words will give him some food for thought.

Liverpool transfer news as $109 million ‘talks held’ and a release clause for Jürgen Klopp’s option surface

Liverpool transfer news: Jurgen Klopp’s side have reportedly been in talks with multiple clubs over a $109million duo, while the Reds could also exploit a release clause.

The ink on the paper on which Alexis Mac Allister signed his contract with Liverpool had barely dried when attention turned to who the Reds could bring to Anfield next as part of Jurgen Klopp’s rebuild.

The Argentine is a great start to the summer but it needs a lot more as Liverpool look for more midfield opportunities and maybe a position or two as well.

Klopp has already admitted that every outfield position is under scrutiny.

Many players are rated and Liverpool are looking for good values in a market where some of the advertised fees are outrageous.

Mac Allister has certainly proved to be a smart buy and it wouldn’t be a surprise if factors like availability and price dictated strategy for the rest of the summer.

That said, at least one more new midfielder is more or less non-negotiable.

The ideal timing would be for more players to arrive before Liverpool resume pre-season training in less than a month, so that the new additions can be fully integrated into the squad and system before the new campaign begins.

Here’s Liverpool.com’s verdict on the market gossip that emerged around the Reds today, starting with an update on two exciting young midfielders who have been heavily linked to moves in recent days.

Manu Kone (Borussia Monchengladbach) and Khephren Thuram (Nice)

Liverpool have held talks with both Manu Kone and Khéphren Thuram, according to Football Insider, to see what taxes and wages would look like if the Reds make a more concrete move.

The foundations have presumably been laid by Liverpool for the duo, both 22, with price and availability crucial to what the Reds do next in the transfer market as more midfield options are sought after the arrival of Mac Allister.

Koné would be available for around $44m (£35m/€41m), while Thuram will, according to Le Parisien, pay each suitor $65m (£51m/€60m), while Nice is under no pressure to buy him out.

Liverpool.com says: If Jörg Schmadtke makes a move for either player it should be feasible given the clubs they play for.

Liverpool should be able to coax talent from these types of teams, but other options are being explored that could bring more value.

Gonçalo Inácio (Sporting CP)

As well as needing to sign at least one or two more midfielders this summer, Liverpool could also use another centre-back, with Sporting’s Gonçalo Inácio being one of the more popular options to consider.

But according to Portuguese outlet Record, Sporting are planning to hand Inácio a new contract to extend his release clause, thanks to interest from Liverpool and others.

There’s no mention of how much higher the stipulation could be, only that the current price tag is set at $48m (£39m/€45m).

Inácio may be reluctant to lift that clause. O Jogo reports that while Sporting are hoping to boost his release value, the player has “frozen” talks due to interest from Liverpool and Manchester United.

They will turn 22 in August and a number of top clubs across Europe are watching closely.
