Liverpool loses Leny Yoro to Manchester United, therefore they decide to chase a quality centre back

This summer, Liverpool plans to add a new centre back to complement seasoned player Virgil Van Dijk.

Leny Yoro, a defender for Lille who ultimately joined Manchester United in the Premier League, was linked to the Reds.

Arne Slot joined Anfield after Jurgen Klopp left, but he is still searching for his first summer acquisition.

The Merseyside club has declared Juventus centre-back Dean Huijsen their main centre-back target, according to a Football Insider report.

According to the report, Aston Villa is also interested in hiring the defender.

The Reds’ top objective has always been to buy a new defender after losing centre-back Joel Matip to free agency this summer.

Yoro, Goncalo Inacio, Marc Guehi, and several other centre backs have been linked to Liverpool this summer.

The young Juventus defender, who excelled with his performances while on loan at Roma last season, now appears ready to be pursued.

He is the top target for the Premier League’s biggest clubs this summer, and his presence might be vital to Liverpool’s defensive choices in light of Van Dijk’s uncertain future with the team.

The Dutchman is nearing the end of his Anfield deal, and the Reds need to sign a trustworthy defender soon because there are speculations that he may play in the Saudi Pro League.

The Serie A powerhouses Juventus have the upper hand in any future transfer negotiations with the Spanish defender since he is bound to a long-term deal there that expires in June 2028.

This summer, Liverpool needs to sign another defensive player.

The 6-foot-5-inch teenage defender can provide physical support to the Liverpool defence.

Joe Gomez, Jarrel Quansah, and Ibrahima Konate are the current alternatives available to the Merseyside club to partner Van Dijk.

Quansah lacks sufficient top-level experience, Konate has had fitness difficulties, while Gomez has primarily been utilised as a full-back and is only competent as a backup.

Less than a month separates Slot from the Premier League season, therefore the team needs a new defender who can train with the team and become accustomed to the manager’s style of play.

33-year-old confirms joining Barcelona after leaving Liverpool this summer.

Thiago Alcantara, 33, left Liverpool at the end of the season. Barcelona has acknowledged that he is temporarily back on the pitch.

The Spaniard chose to retire from sports after leaving Anfield, and it appears that he has chosen to pursue a career in coaching for the next phase of his life.

In order to “gain experience” before making a longer-term decision, Thiago has joined Hansi Flick’s coaching staff for Barcelona’s pre-season training, the Catalan team announced on Wednesday.

The 33-year-old may decide to stay with the La Liga team for the 2024–2025 season, albeit there is currently no commitment to do so.

Because they shared the 2019–20 Bayern Munich treble, Thiago and Flick have a close bond. The Spaniard’s intelligence would have been evident to the German coach, who probably used that information to lure him to his coaching staff.

Even if Thiago simply plays for the rest of the preseason, this is a wise decision for the 33-year-old so early in his retirement.

What led Thiago to choose retirement?

Even though Thiago was one of the most talented players of his generation, his career was marred by injuries, therefore it is unlikely that he will be recognised with the greats.

The 33-year-old’s decision to retire was perhaps influenced by the fact that he only played five minutes during the 2023–2024 season. The Spaniard might no longer have faith in his physique.

The former Barcelona player may have been content with his career after representing both Liverpool and the Catalan team.

The former midfield player has two Champions League medals in his collection and has won everything in Germany and Spain. Though it’s unclear if he can do the same as a coach, Thiago plans to try in the upcoming years.

Liverpool should think about a hijack after Man Utd received approval for a $54 million transfer

Uli Hoeness, the head coach of Bayern Munich, has acknowledged that one of his players may depart this summer. Liverpool should take Manchester United’s recent linkage into consideration.

Uli Hoeness, the top brass of Bayern Munich, has suggested that Matthijs de Ligt may be leaving this summer, with Manchester United reportedly keeping an eye on him. Even after United’s recent coup in acquiring Leny Yoro, the 24-year-old Dutch international has been the focus of considerable rumours linking him with a move to the Red Devils.

Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, and De Ligt have a common past from their time at Ajax, and it’s thought that De Ligt might be amenable to moving back to the Premier League to rejoin him. United still wants to add a great defender to their roster, even though their next goal is to strengthen their midfield—that is, if they can raise the necessary money through player sales.

Hoeness’s remarks have sparked further speculation that De Ligt would move to Old Trafford. Hoeness pondered the club’s transfer plan during the weekend, stating: “It’s possible that a defender will leave” (via the Daily Mirror). The coach of Manchester United is Dutch, as is De Ligt. I wouldn’t mind if he stayed. In my opinion, I wouldn’t sell Upamecano.

Yoro and Lisandro Martinez are expected to work well together at the centre of Manchester United’s defence, but if they are able to trade Victor Lindelof, the Red Devils may still need a centre defender. The estimated worth of De Ligt is $54 million (£42 million/€50 million).

Regarding the current talks for De Ligt, Ten Hag has been transparent, saying to the Dutch publication Algemeen Dagblad: “We still have to wait and see whether De Ligt will come.” The good news is that I was able to step away from the process for three or four weeks on my vacation. These players were primarily recruited at that time by the club’s recently formed scouting and recruitment department.”

“It’s actually a coincidence that there are Dutch players among them,” he continued. These were mostly players that our organisation brought in. at be clear, I do support them, but we still come at a decision together.”

According to Liverpool.com, De Ligt hasn’t exactly developed into the centre back that many had anticipated, but in that particular trade, Liverpool may be able to find some value. While he was at Ajax, he was regarded in high regard; all he needs to do is find the proper team and coach to bring out his potential.

Considering that he has prior experience at Bayern Munich and Juventus, his pay could be the sticking point. For Liverpool, De Ligt may be a good alternative if his pay demands were fair. It most definitely has to be thinking about bringing in a defender before Arne Slot’s first season as manager.

Liverpool can justify a $68 million transfer request because it already has its own Leny Yoro

Leny Yoro’s transfer has not gone to Real Madrid or Liverpool. Manchester United emerged victorious in the contest after Lille accepted a $68 million deal a few days prior.

Leny Yoro, a talented young centre back from France, has finally found a home at Manchester United. Real Madrid and Liverpool both expressed interest, but the Old Trafford team managed to complete an unexpected transfer.

It’s been suggested that Lille didn’t want to lose Yoro for nothing when his contract ended the following summer. His options were restricted because Manchester United was the only team to submit a bid.

Real Madrid and Liverpool both felt that Real Madrid would win the race, and neither team was willing to spend anywhere close to the $68 million (£52 million/€62 million) that Manchester United had agreed to pay as a down payment. When add-ons are taken into account, the price is much higher.

But there is no denying that Erik ten Hag has pulled off a significant coup with Yoro. “Generational talent” is what Manchester United signed, according to numerous sources. PSG, Real Madrid, and Liverpool were among his greatest admirers for a cause.

But in the end, Manchester United was the team most in need of a centre defender, even though they were prepared to go above and beyond what any other bidder for Yoro was willing to offer. Only once, for Virgil van Dijk, has Liverpool ever paid more than $68 million for a defender.

At Anfield, Arne Slot already has four centre backs to choose from. Although there are certain problems with each, Liverpool already has its own Yoro thanks to Jarell Quansah’s arrival last season.

Quansah is playing well beyond his years and still has plenty of good seasons ahead of him; his ceiling is just as high as Yoro’s. Richard Hughes and company found it less enticing to invest a significant amount of money on a player like that than on their Old Trafford rivals because he is also a Premier League veteran who came through the Reds’ youth and cost them nothing.

Yoro would have been seen by Real Madrid and Liverpool as a long-term project who could be incorporated throughout the upcoming campaigns. But the 18-year-old will have to start quickly at Old Trafford due to a lack of other talented players. Both the challenge and the money will have been appealing.

That might also be reflected in Yoro’s pay package. After bonuses are taken into account, Manchester United is reportedly going to pay the teenager about $188k (£145k/€172k) every week. This information comes from Sky Germany. Only a select few of Liverpool’s key players receive salaries that high.

As of right moment, only Manchester United is prepared to pay Yoro a high salary and make the large financial commitment to make him a regular starter right away. That is why INEOS has emerged victorious in the player competition; even with Yoro’s brilliance, more will be required for INEOS to close the gap between the Old Trafford team and the very best.

LFC transfer news: Nico Williams offer ‘ready’ and door open to Leny Yoro alternative

Liverpool transfer news: The Premier League is becoming increasingly interested in Nico Williams. It’s possible that Manchester United provided the Reds with a Leny Yoro substitute in the interim.

Liverpool is not making any moves during the summer transfer window, and fans are not happy by the news of another target being dropped.

The Reds chose to back off from their pursuit of Leny Yoro earlier in the summer because they thought the defender was dead set on moving to Real Madrid. But now that Lille has accepted an offer from Manchester United, it appears the teenager will be moving to Old Trafford. A medical appointment has been scheduled.

It’s one thing to lose to Los Blancos, but Liverpool must take a hard hit for losing to its fiercest rival in a deal. There won’t be much time for Arne Slot and Richard Hughes to patch things up before the start of the upcoming Premier League season.

This is Liverpool.com’s assessment of the transfer rumours that have surfaced regarding the Reds today, which includes a possible Yoro substitute and the most recent information on Nico Williams.

Matthijs de Ligt (Munich Bayern)

Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany claims that Manchester United is now unwilling to meet Bayern Munich’s demands for Matthijs de Ligt.

Matthijs de Ligt and Manchester United were reportedly in agreement on personal matters, but that agreement appears to have fallen through.

To sign the defender, the German team is reportedly seeking $55 million (£42 million/€50 million) plus add-ons. However, since Yoro is now United’s top priority, Liverpool—who has previously been linked to De Ligt—may have an opportunity.

According to Liverpool.com, there may be a chance to pursue De Ligt, but doing so seems a little dangerous. It appears that he has lost favour with the Netherlands and Bayern Munich, and his tenure at Juventus wasn’t exactly stellar either. He’s had his share of injury issues; if Liverpool chooses to play, this feels like it might blow up in their faces.

Nico Williams, (Athlete Bilbao)

The Athletic reports that Chelsea is prepared to make an offer for Nico Williams.

The Spain international, who scored against England on Sunday in the Euro 2024 final, has been linked to a number of clubs, including Liverpool.

Chelsea, however, may be prepared to strike first even though they are aware that Barcelona will probably put up a fight for the Athletic Bilbao star.

Liverpool.com comments: This is one you might understand if Liverpool choose not to pursue, unlike Yoro. Williams’ future has been the subject of much discussion for some time, and all the indications are that he will either transfer to Barcelona or remain in Bilbao. In any case, it is unlikely that we will see him in the Premier League very soon.

Not Yoro: Liverpool is prepared to begin talks with a second “world-class” Real Madrid target

Joshua Kimmich, a midfielder for Bayern Munich, may still be moving this summer.

According to people close to CaughtOffside, Manchester United and Liverpool are prepared to start talks with Bayern Munich about the German international’s transfer. The English duo could have to expedite their plans, though, because Manchester City is still linked to them and might enter the contest themselves soon.

With Juventus dominating the race to recruit Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners, the former star of RB Leipzig, the Merseysiders have been forced to give the former player priority.

Real Madrid is purportedly considering the 29-year-old during the current transfer window.

Kimmich transfer: Is it possible for Munich to sign a new contract?

It is understood by those familiar with the German scenario that Kimmich will not likely receive a new contract offer.

The Bayern player, who footballfancast.com’s Karl-Heinz Rummenigge called “world-class,” presently makes €20 million [£16.9 million] a year at the Allianz Arena.

The German star’s current contract is slated to end in the summer of 2025, and the Bavarian giants are willing to consider proposals of €30 million [£25.4 million].

What benefits might Kimmich offer Manchester United and Liverpool?

Crucially for Liverpool, the adaptable player, who can also play right back, would fill a holding midfielder void in the absence of a top-tier player at number six.

Wataru Endo, a 2023 signing who formerly played in the same position as Alexis Mac Allister, has been called upon by the Reds. However, it remains to be seen if the Merseysiders decide to move in the summer market for such an experienced operator.

Similarly, if Casemiro leaves this summer, Manchester United might want a top-tier defensive midfield player.

More news……

Liverpool star “ready to seal summer exit” as he “rejects contract offer.”

One of Arne Slot’s players received a fresh contract offer from Liverpool this summer. However, he had already expressed a wish to relocate to a place where he will play.

At the end of the season, Adrian, the 37-year-old Spaniard goalkeeper for Liverpool, was offered a fresh one-year contract extension; however, he turned it down in favour of going back home.

The local publication ABC Sevilla claims that Adrian is close to signing a contract to join La Liga team Real Betis, whom Liverpool will play in a preseason friendly in a few weeks. Adrian joined Liverpool on a free transfer from West Ham United in 2019 and has since made 26 appearances for the club.

Adrian had already stated in mid-May (via Muchodeporte) that he intended to go back to Spain. “I would like to return to La Liga after 11 seasons in the Premier League,” he stated. “A cycle would come to an end. I’m still prepared to compete, though. I may be 37, but I feel great.

“Goalkeepers, you understand that daily training provides you with the intensity necessary to compete, provided you take good care of yourself and haven’t had any severe injuries recently. It’s true that I would like to return to La Liga, and I believe I have a lot of time left. It must be a pleasant, fascinating project.

“Neither have I had a seat with Liverpool yet. Although it’s true that we will be keeping a close eye on La Liga, I don’t rule out the possibility of us having a chat.”

Following several changes in that area throughout the summer, Fabian Otte has been named as the new goalkeeping coach at Liverpool. Along with Jurgen Klopp, John Achterberg and Jack Robinson have gone on, and Caoimhin Kelleher, the backup choice, has acknowledged that he might have to go too in order to play regularly.

According to Liverpool.com, Adrian would need to leave Liverpool in order to play before he retires. For him and his family, it might make sense to move back to Spain. Arne Slot was never going to play Adrian for the Reds next season, but practically, the team needs enough bodies in the goalkeeping department to be trusted. He would just stay for the training exercises.

Arne Slot is looking to sign three new players, while the defender wants to leave Liverpool.

After taking over as manager of Liverpool in place of Jurgen Klopp, Arne Slot is still awaiting the completion of his first transfer, and the Reds are eager to bolster their roster in three crucial areas.

Arne Slot has brought Liverpool into a new age, although they haven’t made any significant transfers yet.

Due to contract expiration, veteran players Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara left the team, and full-back Calvin Ramsay signed a loan to play for League One team Wigan Athletic. Under Jurgen Klopp’s leadership, the Reds won the Carabao Cup and finished third in the previous campaign.

Under new boss Slot, they will be looking for greater success, and in order to achieve that, they might need to bring in some fresh talent. In light of everything mentioned above, Mirror Football examines every rumour originating from Anfield.

Slot anticipates three new signings.

This summer, Liverpool is thinking about adding a new centre back, defensive midfielder, and forward to bolster three positions.

Liverpool’s defensive targets include 18-year-old Lille sensation Leny Yoro, although there’s a lot of talk that he’s going to Real Madrid instead. Although it’s known that Liverpool won’t act until the ideal player becomes available, their plans could be affected by player departures.

While custodian Caoimhin Kelleher is out for grabs for under £25 million, Liverpool will need to accept offers over £50 million in order to get Luis Diaz to go. Players like Bobby Clark, James McConnell, and Tyler Morton might also be sent out on loan.

Endo delivers transfer decisions

Even if it means playing less, Wataru Endo has stated that he wants Liverpool to recruit a new number six this summer.

He told ABEMA Sports Time, “I don’t care about those reports, but I also think it would be better to get the number six midfielder,” according to MSN. “I believe it’s possible that they see Alexis Mac Allister, a number 10 player, as a number six or anchor, but there aren’t many number six players available right now.

“Mac Allister and I both had the most opportunities to play. We also had Thiago Alcantara, but he is expected to leave the team at the end of this season due to numerous injuries. Additionally, we have [ Stefan Bajcetic], however it’s not yet obvious if he’ll be able to help right away.

“Given my advanced age, I believe I could get the number six. However, I’m all for it if it ultimately strengthens the squad since there will be competition and I simply need to reclaim my spot. Thus, I’m not too concerned about it; in fact, if I win, I think it might work out.”

Van den Berg desires to go.

Sepp van den Berg, a defender for Liverpool, “definitely” wants to return permanently after spending the previous season on loan at Mainz in the Bundesliga.

Mainz finished two points clear of the relegation zone with Van den Berg making 33 league games. The 22-year-old is eager to return to the team, according to sporting director Christian Heidel.

Heidel stated to the German sports publication Kicker, “Sepp is the only one who has made a decision.” “He’s determined to remain in Mainz. He has stated as much quite plainly in public.”

June 28, 2024
Real Madrid’s choice and Liverpool’s interest led to the “agreement” on Leny Yoro’s transfer.

Amidst transfer interest from Liverpool, Real Madrid, Manchester United, and PSG, Leny Yoro is said to have decided on his next move, and the Lille player has committed.

It appears crucial that Liverpool signs a replacement this summer because Joel Matip is departing the team at the end of his contract. In Arne Slot’s first season in charge, the Anfield side cannot leave itself short of options at the back.

Although Leny Yoro was a target, Sports Zone reports that the 18-year-old has decided to sign with Real Madrid this summer despite interest from Premier League powerhouses Liverpool and Manchester United. The gifted wonderkid has also caught the attention of PSG, even though he would rather move to Spain.

Yoro has reportedly told the Spanish team that he won’t be signing with anyone else, but he would want to join Los Blancos this summer. Liverpool is reportedly eager to sign him, but they are also aware of Real Madrid’s intense interest.

It had been claimed that Liverpool may leap in and pounce if a trade to Real Madrid stagnated. But even if the La Liga champion can’t negotiate a fee to sign him now, it is said that he will wait a year and transfer on a free when his contract with Lille expires next summer.

The Daily Express said last week that Yoro had already decided to sign with Real Madrid. Meanwhile, the president of Lille has already acknowledged that the player will be let to depart.

Lille is seeking $53 million (£42 million/€50 million), but the Spanish team is willing to make a concession on that sum. The player chose Real Madrid, but Liverpool was willing to pay the asking fee, according to Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo.

According to Liverpool.com. You really can’t blame Yoro if he decides to move to Real Madrid. Similar to Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni, the Reds would recognise the right player but be unable to take action since they would rather move to the Bernabeu.

Liverpool definitely has to sign a replacement, though, if that turns out to be the case. Ibrahima Konate is prone to injuries, and Joe Gomez played full-back for the majority of the previous campaign. This summer, Virgil van Dijk will turn 33. Jarell Quansah is incredibly gifted, but he is still very young and should be handled cautiously rather than overused.

There’ll be even more fixtures than usual because the Champions League has been enlarged in advance of the new season. Liverpool just cannot afford to cut any corners.

Lfc transfer news: Reds receive £42 million offer response following Khvicha Kvaratskhelia boost.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

Arne Slot has yet to make his first signing as Liverpool manager, but that could be about to change as the Reds’ recruitment staff ramps up their work ahead of next season.

Liverpool are now focusing on Euro 2024 in Germany.

Several Reds stars are participating in the competition. While Arne Slot will monitor how his present players are doing, he will also be interested in the event for a different reason.

Liverpool may use a few recruits ahead of next season, and they could even move for some of the Euros’ top players. They could face competition from a number of Premier League opponents.

Rumours are already starting to circulate. Take a look at the biggest speculations and verified moves from Anfield:

Yoro bid was rejected.

Leny Yoro, a Lille defender, is currently one of Europe’s hottest defensive properties. Liverpool are determined to be in the running for his services.

According to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, the Reds have already made an offer of €50 million (£42 million) to recruit the Frenchman.

However, this has not gone well with the French side. Lille has flatly rejected that offer and will only hear bids of around €60 million (£50.7 million).

It is now up to Liverpool to decide whether to increase their offer. They may face competition from elsewhere in Europe. Manchester United has added him to its shortlist, while Spanish heavyweights Real Madrid are also interested.

Liverpool handed Kvaratskhelia boost.

Liverpool’s prospects of signing Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia have been significantly improved. The Georgian winger’s agent has revealed that his client wishes to leave the Serie A team.

Mamuka Jugeli told Sport Imedi via La Gazzetta dello Sport: “I don’t want people to believe that Kvara wants to stay at Napoli.” We want to leave, but we’re waiting until the Euros conclude so we don’t disturb Khvicha. “My top priority is to join a Champions League team.”

Napoli has already responded, pointing out that Kvaratskhelia is still under contract in Naples. Previously, Liverpool was connected with a bid for the 2023 Serie A winner.

Liverpool target finishes audition

From one winger to another, Belgian wideman Johan Bakayoko made an early transfer tryout as his country began its Euros. Bakayoko impressed for PSV Eindhoven last season, winning a place in the Belgium team.

It has been reported that new Liverpool manager Slot has approved a move for the 21-year-old. He is regarded as a possible alternative for Mohamed Salah at Anfield.

Bakayoko has previously been linked with a move to England, with Burnley and Brentford both reportedly interested. Belgium kicked out their Euros campaign against Slovakia in Group E.

June 18, 2024
Liverpool made a bid of €50 million for the transfer of Ligue 1 star, but €60 million is wanted.

Liverpool reportedly offered €50 million for Lille defender Leny Yoro, but the offer was rejected because the Ligue 1 club wanted more like €60 million.

Yoro is regarded as an elite young talent, and it appears that many other clubs will be vying for his signature this summer, with Liverpool attempting to make a bid, but Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid are also interested, according to Mundo Deportivo.

According to the article, Yoro’s preferred club appears to be Real Madrid, therefore Liverpool may struggle to persuade the young Frenchman to join them, even if they can agree on a deal with Lille.

Yoro, who is still only 18 years old, appears to have a bright future in the game, and it will be intriguing to watch where he goes next, but it is easy to envisage him as the newest young star to join this fantastic Real Madrid project.

Yoro move is great for Real Madrid.

Los Blancos have just won the Champions League for the second time in a row thanks to some shrewd transfer market activity, with the Spanish giants assembling a squad of top young players such Jude Bellingham,

Vinicius Junior, and Eduardo Camavinga. Meanwhile, Endrick is on his way to the Bernabeu this summer, so if Madrid can add someone like Yoro, they will be set for many years.

Still, Liverpool would do well to reinforce their defence with a long-term replacement for the ageing Virgil van Dijk, since Ibrahima Konate has not always been trustworthy in terms of remaining healthy and injury-free.

Many elite young players would undoubtedly jump at the chance to join one of the Premier League’s top clubs, but the discourse changes when a major name like Real Madrid gets involved.

Liverpool transfer updates: Talks are ongoing with Reds’ target as Slot makes request.

Liverpool are poised to be active in the transfer season, with Arne Slot looking to make an effect on the Reds squad after taking over from Jurgen Klopp at Anfield this summer.

The transfer window is open, and Liverpool will be aiming to shape their squad for the next era.

Arne Slot joined from Feyenoord at the end of the season to succeed famed manager Jurgen Klopp. The Dutchman confronts a difficult task in following the Germans’ lead, but he hopes to generate results swiftly.

Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes, the club’s sporting director and transfer coordinator, will aid Slot during the summer months.

They, too, will be aiming to alter the club’s future after their arrival.

With that said, Mirror Football looks at some of the most recent transfer news from Merseyside.

AC Milan holds negotiation with Liverpool’s target.

Liverpool has been linked with Feyenoord star Mats Wieffer this summer, but will face heavy competition. It has been stated that Arne Slot wishes to reunite with his old charge.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Rossoneri have already spoken with Wieffer’s agents, and additional conversations are planned in the coming days. The Serie A club hopes to reach an arrangement with the 24-year-old’s representatives before attempting to persuade Feyenoord.

The defensive midfielder is not part of the Netherlands’ Euro 2024 squad, thus a trade might happen sooner. The defensive midfielder has a contract until 2027, therefore Feyenoord will be content with their situation.

Slot Request

Liverpool will look for a new defence at the behest of new manager Slot, and according to CaughtOffside, Goncalo Inacio will be their major target.

The 22-year-old has reportedly been under consideration since November and won a league title with Sporting. Inacio has since travelled to Euro 2024 with Portugal.

The defender elected to stay with Sporting in January for personal reasons, but is now considering a move to the Premier League. According to the source, Liverpool hopes to complete his transfer within the next few weeks.

Leny Yoro’s decision

Another young defender on Liverpool’s agenda. However, Liverpool may be outbid for the Lille defender.

While the French club has admitted that they may have to part ways with the 18-year-old, the youngster looks to have his sights set on one location. Despite attention from Liverpool and Manchester United, it looks that Real Madrid has Yoro’s heart.

According to the Express, the Bernabeu is Yoro’s dream destination, and the players’ camp is now working to make it a reality. A cost has yet to be agreed upon, although Yoro is said to be wary about moving to England.

Alisson Becker Liverpool transfer decision following’massive’ offer.

Alisson Becker has rejected a “massive” offer to leave Liverpool and join Saudi club Al-Nassr this summer, according to Football Insider.

Al-Nassr is looking for a new custodian, but the Brazil international has declined an offer to join the Saudi Pro League club.

According to sources, the Middle Eastern club is now looking to recruit Juventus custodian Wojciech Szczesny, 34, whenever the transfer window reopens.

Alisson, 31, is still Liverpool’s number one custodian and has a contract until 2027.

After rejecting down a move to Saudi Arabia, Alisson seems set to stay at Liverpool.

There have been numerous changes at Liverpool recently, with Arne Slot succeeding Jurgen Klopp as manager, and Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes joining behind the scenes.

However, after rejecting a summer move to Al-Nassr, Alisson appears to be staying in Merseyside for the time being.

The Brazilian has been Liverpool’s uncontested first choice since arriving for £67 million from Roma in 2018.

During his time with Liverpool, the goalkeeper has made 263 appearances and kept 114 clean sheets, 11 of which came in his 32 games last season.

Caoimhin Kelleher, 25, has been Alisson’s backup for the past few years, but he might leave Merseyside this summer if a good offer is made for his services.

According to Football Insider, the Irishman intends to seek a transfer away from Anfield in order to obtain more regular first-team football abroad.

James Trafford, 21, has been highlighted as a potential successor after Football Insider reported on May 27 that Liverpool and Newcastle are ready to compete for the Burnley custodian this summer.
