    Romeo Lavia, a Belgian international who is very popular right now, has been closely associated with Liverpool this summer.

    The Reds and Chelsea have been pursuing him aggressively, but reports out of Spain suggest that top La Liga clubs have also shown an interest in the player.

    Sport reported earlier this month that Barcelona tried to sign the talented 19-year-old holding midfielder but were unable to pay his high asking price.

    Romeo Lavia is reportedly being pursued by both Liverpool and Atletico Madrid at the moment, but Liverpool moved quickly and he is almost certainly moving to Anfield, according to a Spanish source, Nacional.

    The Southampton star can play for the Rojiblancos in the Champions League; however, the Reds will only compete in the Europa League the following year.

    However, the Catalan outlet claims that the young playbreaker chose to work with Jurgen Klopp’s team because he wants to remain in the UK.

    Liverpool has already proposed paying the Saints 50 million euros (roughly £43 million) for their prized asset.

    So, completion of the move is only a matter of time. As far as we are aware, Lavia has already consented to personal terms with the Merseysiders (Football Insider).

    The young player has only played in one senior Belgian international match and has only completed one full season of top-flight football.

    Do you believe Romeo Lavia has what it takes to succeed seasoned players like Henderson and Fabinho at Anfield?

    Following the signing of Jürgen Klopp's new contract, Liverpool is prepared to complete two additional transfers.
    Media digest: As Jürgen Klopp reorganizes the team, Liverpool is on track to complete two pending transfers. A preseason star is in line to sign a new contract.

    Liverpool starlet signs new contract.

    Winners and losers from Liverpool’s preseason preparations have begun to stand out after two games.
    There is undoubtedly much to think about for Jürgen Klopp.

    Darwin Nez, for example, is figuratively banging on the manager’s door after finding the net three times in his first two outings. However, Cody Gakpo, a potential challenger for the number nine position, has also scored, and Klopp will have been pleased with the Dutchman’s performance in that position.

    Conor Bradley, however, ranks among the biggest winners. He has demonstrated to Klopp that he can be a capable replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold in the “hybrid” role that was introduced late last season, possibly even paving the way for the number 66 to move permanently into the middle at some point.

    Liverpool will now recognize his advancement. Bradley is soon to sign a new three-year contract at Anfield, according to The Athletic, which will also reflect his excellent season on loan at Bolton, where he was named Player of the Season.

    That occurs despite the Northern Ireland international receiving transfer interest from the Premier League and the Championship. Bradley has been left out of the group that is traveling to Singapore, despite the fact that Liverpool is clearly committed to keeping him long-term.

    Two deals get closer.

    Following the signing of Jürgen Klopp's new contract, Liverpool is prepared to complete two additional transfers.
    With one incoming and one outgoing deal on the table, Liverpool appears set to put two transfer sagas to rest soon. Both Fabinho and Roméo Lavia’s transactions have advanced to this point.

    The Athletic reports that after an opening offer was turned down and negotiations are still ongoing, there is an “increasing likelihood” that a deal will be reached for Lavia. Liverpool might use add-ons in a second transfer offer to partially approach Southampton’s asking price.

    Personal terms “will not be an issue” should the two clubs settle on a fee. Lavia is also prepared to have a medical exam, according to Sacha Tovalieri. Chelsea is still interested, but it appears as though this one might actually happen.

    Regarding Fabinho, Paul Joyce acknowledged on Twitter that there is a “renewed expectation” that he will depart for Al-Ittihad after a first breakdown in negotiations has been overcome. The Brazilian is not anticipated to travel to Singapore with his Liverpool teammates, according to a later update, which confirmed the Saudi side is “progressing” in the deal and that all parties are committed to seeing it through.

    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.

    Romeo Lavia twist appears as Liverpool “considers” a deal for the 17-goal winger.

    Romeo Lavia transfer to Chelsea latest as Liverpool ready new bid for a £50m star
    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.

    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. “.

    A £20 million midfielder who is so good it’s a “joke” has been linked to Liverpool.

    Following the Saudi Pro League's recent Anfield raid, Liverpool has been linked with a number of midfielders in recent weeks.
    Following the Saudi Pro League’s recent Anfield raid, Liverpool has been linked with a number of midfielders in recent weeks.

    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.

    The Reds make a brief pit stop in Merseyside before departing for Asia to play friendlies against Bayern Munich on Wednesday, August 2, and Leicester City on Sunday, July 30.

    Jurgen Klopp confirmed that the team he chooses for the upcoming matches will be significantly closer to the one that starts the Premier League opener against Chelsea on August 13. The crowd was treated to a couple of high-scoring matches against Karlsruher SC and Greuther Furth.

    Liverpool and Leicester City have engaged in a few exciting matches in recent years, but they won’t play each other this year unless they are drawn against one another in the domestic cups because the Foxes were demoted to the Championship at the end of the previous campaign.

    The Singapore crowd will, nevertheless, be treated to a fascinating match. Everything you need to know about the game is provided here.

    Date, kickoff time, and stadium.

    Sunday, July 30, 2023.
    10:00 BST/11.00 CET is when the game will begin.
    Stadium: Singapore National Stadium, which can accommodate 55,000 people.
    CONTRAST RECORD.

    Liverpool departs for Singapore for the next leg of their preseason tour after a ten-day stay in Germany that was filled with excitement.
    Since their first match against the Foxes in November 1895, Liverpool and Leicester City have faced off 121 times. The Reds have amassed 55 victories in that time.

    In 25 meetings between the two teams, the score has remained tied, but Liverpool has won each of their last three encounters with Leicester, posting a strong 7-1 aggregate victory.

    Prior to the 2017–18 season, the two teams met in Asia when they squared off in Hong Kong for the Premier League Asia championship. Mohamed Salah and Philippe Coutinho scored goals for Liverpool on that particular day, giving them a 2-1 victory. Islam Slimani scored for Leicester.

    Live streaming of Liverpool vs. Leicester City is accessible on LFCTV and LFCTV GO.

    Jordan Henderson missed Liverpool’s two preseason matches in Germany despite traveling with the team due to negotiations with Saudi Pro League club Al Ettifaq. The 33-year-old’s transfer is essentially finalized and is anticipated to be approved before Liverpool departs for Singapore, so he won’t be traveling with the team.

    As the status of his transfer to Al-Ittihad is uncertain, Fabinho has been scheduled to return to training on Wednesday. It is unclear, however, whether he will train with the rest of his teammates. The Brazilian midfielder was not included in the team for the trip to Germany and is most likely to be left out once more as everyone works to finalize his £40 million transfer to Saudi Arabia.

    Sunday’s matchup between Liverpool and Leicester City could begin as follows:.

    Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson, Thiago Alcantara, Alexis MacAllister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Luis Diaz make up the (4-3-3) formation.

    PREDICTION.

    Given that Liverpool has scored and given up goals freely in preseason play thus far, don’t be shocked if we see more of the same against Leicester this weekend.

    Report: After submitting a bid, Liverpool was only £8 million away from the 'aggressive' target.
    With manager Jurgen Klopp dreaming of pairing the Torino star and Virgil van Dijk with his summer transfer, Liverpool have now encountered a significant obstacle in their pursuit of Perr Schuurs.

    According to Toro . it, all negotiations between Liverpool and Torino regarding the transfer of Schuurs have come to a halt. This summer, the Serie A team has been negotiating a transfer with Crystal Palace. However, their conversations with the Eagles have also come to a halt at this time.

    The clubs with the most interest in luring Schuurs away from the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino are Liverpool and Crystal Palace. However, the 23-year-old cannot leave the club for less than €40 million (£34 million), according to Urbano Cairo, the chairman of Il Toro. His cost has, however, up until now been a problem.

    Perr Schuurs is still a target of interest for transfers from Crystal Palace and Liverpool.

    For the center-back this summer, no club has yet expressed a desire to pay Cairo the amount he demands. Schuurs now finds himself in an awkward position at the Serie A club after recently telling Torino fans he is unsure of his future with the team beyond this current window.

    Crystal Palace and Liverpool are still interested in Schuurs and are keeping an eye out for any potential transfers. The defender has had a productive summer thus far as he sharpens his focus in time for training. The enforcer, who stands 6 feet 3 inches tall, keeps up his tireless work.

    As Klopp fantasizes about pairing the Dutchman with his countryman, Van Dijk, at Anfield, Liverpool is still aware of Schuurs’ predicament. The Reds manager is eager to sign a center-half to pair with the former Southampton star. However, Crystal Palace might make him less interested.

    The Italian club Torino has already received offers from Liverpool and Crystal Palace.

    Report: After submitting a bid, Liverpool was only £8 million away from the 'aggressive' target.
    At the beginning of July, Tuttosport reported that Liverpool had submitted a €30 million (£26 million) offer for the transfer of Schuurs. However, Torino swiftly rejected a bid from Napoli and returned the offer to its sender.
    Il Toro, however, always looked forward to receiving more proposals.

    The Eagles would also submit an offer. This month, according to Tuttosport, Crystal Palace made a transfer offer of €35 million (£30 million) to Torino. Cairo, however, has stuck to its £34 million ($40 million) price tag. While even Tuttosport reported that Schuurs had decided to join Crystal Palace.

    Despite the fact that Schuurs prefers Liverpool, he has a personal contract in place with Crystal Palace in the event that Torino approve a transfer. To acquire a player Michael Owen admires, the Eagles must offer an additional £4 million for a deal and Liverpool an additional £8 million.

    Owen told BT Sport (21/10/23, 22:30) that Schuurs “will be the new Matthijs de Ligt.”. Although he is still young, he has a great physique and strength. He already makes me think of De Ligt a lot. Strong for his age, aggressive, and good with the ball. ”.

    Fluminense midfielder Andre
    Andre, a midfielder for Fluminense, is reportedly the target of a move by Liverpool, with Fulham also reportedly showing interest in the Brazilian teenager.

    According to Football Transfers, Liverpool and Fluminense have spoken about the 22-year-old’s potential transfer to the Premier League should Liverpool meet Fluminense’s €25 million (£20 million) asking price.

    According to the report, Fluminense are reportedly interested in selling midfielder Andre, but Fulham are also interested in him. Fluminense prefers to hold onto their prized asset until the January transfer window, which presents another obstacle.

    Andre is a perfect replacement for players like Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, who are both close to moving to Saudi Arabia, but this hasn’t stopped Liverpool from making an approach for him.

    After Alexis MacAllister and Dominik Szoboszlai’s arrivals this summer, Andre, 22, will fit Liverpool’s hiring strategy. The Brazilian is also a great fit for Jurgen Klopp’s playing style.

    Fluminense midfielder Andre
    In fact, Andre is a player who has received praise from scouts for being proficient at pretty much everything in a midfield role, and this degree of versatility will make the youngster a favorite of the Anfield crowd.

    This summer, Andre might make for the ideal Fabinho replacement for Liverpool.

    There is a lot to like about the 22-year-old Brazilian, who could be the perfect Fabinho replacement at Liverpool. He plays primarily in a double pivot or as Fluminense’s lone defensive midfielder.

    When compared directly to Liverpool’s no, Andre would have a different profile because he is a skilled dribbler as well as a strong and proficient passer. 3, but the kid will give the holding role a fresh twist.

    The midfield of Liverpool was criticized as being too slow and predictable last season, but with the addition of Andre, the star of Fluminense, the Reds may find this area of the field to be rather dangerous.

    Liverpool could give the 19-year-old, who has already completed his dream transfer, a chance

    Melkamu Frauendorf
    Liverpool young winger Melkamu Frauendorf is part of Jurgen Klopp’s 32-man pre-season squad that traveled to Baden-Wuerttemberg for a summer training camp

    Melkamu Frauendorf is hoping to leave a lasting impression at Liverpool’s training camp in Germany.

    The 19-year-old was signed by Hoffenheim in 2020, before signing professional contracts with Liverpool a year later. In his debut season with the Reds, the versatile attacking midfielder shone for the under-18s, scoring seven goals, including in the FA Youth Cup final.

    An even more impressive season followed, resulting in the then 17-year-old Frauendorf making his first team debut in January 2022 as a substitute against Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup. He earned his first start for Liverpool in a Carabao Cup win against Derby County last season. Last season, Frauendorf showed his versatility and was used across the board. The Germany U19 international has been deployed as both a left and right forward, and also successfully broke into the forward position for the U21 side, scoring twice and getting one assist in three games.

    Frauendorf had attracted interest from other clubs, before signing for Liverpool, and was aware of interest from the Reds for a year before deciding to move to Merseyside. The teenager began imagining playing for the club in 2017 as he watched from the stands Trent Alexander-Arnold score his first goal for Liverpool against Hoffenheim in a Champions League play-off match.

    “I dreamed of playing for Liverpool and going to England, to play at Anfield,” he recalled. “I dreamed about it.”

    Full name: Melkamu Benjamin Daniel Frauendorf

    Date of birth: January 12, 2004

    Place of birth: Kembata, Ethiopia

    Position: Right winger, Left winger, Centre-forward

    Career History: Frauendorf came off the bench on his Liverpool debut against Shrewsbury Town in January 2022 and made his first starting XI for the Reds against Derby County in September 2022. He hopes to feature in more matchday squads the next season.

    Mohammed Kudus, an Ajax star who was reportedly a target for Liverpool earlier this summer, is close to moving to the Premier League, but not to join the Reds.

    Chelsea and the 22-year-old star are reportedly close to reaching a £40 million deal, according to Ben Jacobs. The Ghanaian international has a contract with Ajax through 2025, but he turned down an additional year’s option back in April, putting a number of elite European clubs on high alert.

    Kudus was regarded as a fallback option for Mason Mount in the event that the Reds were unable to sign the former Chelsea player, but it now appears that the deal is off the table for Jurgen Klopp’s team.

    While Brighton and Hove Albion and Arsenal have expressed genuine interest in the attacking midfielder, the Blues are ahead of the pack in finalizing personal terms for him.

    Kudus made 84 appearances for de Godenzonen before moving to Ajax from Nordsjlland in 2020. During that time, he registered 11 assists and 23 goals while tallying 23 goals.

    Mohammed Kudus, an Ajax star who was reportedly a target for Liverpool earlier this summer, is close to moving to the Premier League
    At the 2022 World Cup, he also shone on the international stage, scoring two goals against South Korea to lead Ghana to a 3-2 victory. However, on this particular occasion, the Ghanaians were ultimately unable to escape the group.

    It is believed that Chelsea would move more quickly to finalize a deal for Kudus if Conor Gallagher were to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

    Who would be left if not Kudus?

    Liverpool is in desperate need of midfield reinforcements to go along with the addition of World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister because it is now looking very likely that Jordan Henderson and Fabinho will be leaving Anfield this summer.

    Romeo Lavia of Southampton is a player to keep an eye on as he has been frequently linked to the team during preseason.

    Even though Kudus’ ship may have already left port, Klopp still has plenty of time to find the right candidate during the transfer window.

    Chelsea told new wonderkid signing is the response to Todd Boehly’s Lionel Messi desire

    Liverpool supporters on the number of additional midfielders needed this summer. https://footballtopstar.com/liverpool-supporters-on-the-number-of-additional-midfielders-needed-this-summer/
    Todd Boehly may have brought his own Lionel Messi to Chelsea with the signing of Angelo Gabriel who has been praised by ex-Arsenal striker Julio Baptista

    Chelsea have already completed eight summer transfers and six of them can certainly be regarded as signings for the future. Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson are the two new signings and Mauricio Pochettino is expected to include both in his first-team plans.

    Angelo Gabriel, Diego Moreira, Alex Matos and Ishe Samuels-Smith are the remaining signings to play for the club this season, while Dujuan Richards and Kendry Paez will officially join in 2024 and 2025 respectively. This group joins the likes of Andrey Santos, David Datro Fofana, Gabriel Slonina and Cesare Casadei who are already at the club as the next generation of stars at Stamford Bridge

    However, some of those could have an immediate impact on the senior team. Moreira, Santos and Casadei all started the friendly at Wrexham alongside Carney Chukwuemeka. Gabriel, who is the latest signing, also impressed with a delightfully inserted pass to Ben Chilwell who scored the fifth goal.

    Last week, Chelsea completed the signing of the 18-year-old Santos in a deal worth £13m and he has already been placed in senior plans and it is now clear why.

    The Brazilian prodigy possesses obvious skill with his crisp, sharp dribbling and left foot stick that draws comparisons to Lionel Messi. Todd Boehly has already tried unsuccessfully to lure Messi to Chelsea, but he could finally find an alternative answer who is also half the Argentine’s age.

    Comments from former Arsenal striker Julio Baptista also show that Chelsea have a real gem on their hands. Speaking to Gambling Zone, he said: “Angelo Gabriel is an incredible player, for someone so young. He has a great left foot, but he can play over the front three and also the back 9.

    “He’s a good runner, he has incredible ability, especially in dribbling, and I think it will work well at Chelsea because he’s so talented. When players move from Brazil to Europe, they need time to finish their game, but he’s an incredible talent.”

The Belgian defensive midfielder is reportedly eager to move to Anfield and is patiently waiting for a deal to be reached between the two clubs before the 2023–24 season as he targets an immediate return to the Premier League.

    Lavia, who was one of the Saints’ few bright spots as they finished last in the Premier League, has also caught the attention of Chelsea and Arsenal this summer.

    But as Liverpool gets ready to say goodbye to captain Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, they have now decided to make a formal bid after having productive discussions with his representatives.

    The Athletic claims that officials at St. Mary’s Stadium rejected a £37 million offer made by the Reds.

    Instead, Southampton is demanding £50m and has informed Liverpool that this is the amount that needs to be met in order to reach a deal.

    Given that both Henderson and Fabinho are leaving for Saudi Arabia, Liverpool needs to bolster the strength and tenacity of their midfielders.

    Henderson’s signing by Al Ettifaq is about to be announced, while Fabinho’s move to Al Ittihad seems to have hit a minor snag.

    In spite of this, Liverpool is still adamant about completing the transfer, and they are currently making efforts to find a player to take the place of the Brazilian.

    Lavia dazzled for the Saints last season after displaying excellent technical skill in the middle of the park after his transfer from Manchester City.

    Liverpool's £37 million Romeo Lavia bid is turned down, and Southampton responds with a counteroffer.
    Pep Guardiola previously admitted that he wanted to keep the Belgian player but City couldn’t guarantee Lavia the playing time he needs.

    Liverpool technically has a free pass at Lavia because City does have a buy-back clause, but it won’t go into effect until the summer of 2024.

    Days after he scored his first goal for Southampton against the Blues in a 2-1 victory at St. Mary’s, Chelsea had a verbal offer of £50 million for the player rejected in August of last year.

    Following the arrivals of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, Jurgen Klopp recently stated on the “We Are Liverpool” podcast that additional signings are anticipated at Anfield this summer.

    There are numerous things to complete, he said.
    It’s time to make transfers.
    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. Then, either before or after the sessions, I can try to assist with other matters.

    The first game of the season is still three and a half weeks away. Prior to that, there are undoubtedly a few transfer market-related events that must take place.

    “That is now apparent. And it will occur.
    There must be a change of players.
    We’ll have a strong team. “.

    In his unsuccessful first season at Liverpool, Fabio Carvalho has claimed he was played out of position.

    The 20-year-old attacker, who switched from Fulham to Liverpool in 2022, was considered one of the brightest prospects in European football.

    Carvalho saw his playing time decrease in the second half of the season despite a promising start that included goals in the 9-0 victory over Bournemouth and a match-winning goal in the 98th minute against Newcastle.

    The 20-year-old Harvey Elliott started 18 Premier League games for the Reds while the Portugal Under-21 international made just four. He is now on loan to RB Leipzig for the upcoming season.

    Carvalho discussed his first year at Anfield with international Bundesliga reporters, suggesting that he was denied the chance to demonstrate his talent in his preferred “number 10” position.

    “I feel like the position I have been playing on the left, which is not really my position, is the reason it hasn’t worked at Liverpool,” he said. Although I was told to arrive and play as a 10, we don’t actually use a 10 in our games. In Leipzig, however, we play with two 10s. I’m able to move forward and turn more easily now that I can get inside. Therefore, I would probably say that is the cause of why it didn’t work out. “.

    RB Leipzig initially showed the most interest, and Dominik Szoboszlai, who moved the other way to Liverpool for £60 million, took Dominik’s place in the move to Germany. It was essentially a no-brainer because I’m familiar with how they play and their playing style, and because it fits in well with who I am.

    “My playing style is creative.
    I have excellent judgment.
    In his unsuccessful first season at Liverpool, Fabio Carvalho has claimed he was played out of position. The 20-year-old attacker, who switched
    I put in a lot of effort, not only for the team but also for myself. Dom is a very good player, but I don’t like talking about other players. We’ll see what the future holds, but I’m confident in my abilities and myself, so I know I’ll succeed for RB Leipzig. “.

    After 2023–2024, Carvalho was asked if he planned to return to Anfield. He responded, “We don’t really know what happens next year, I may be here or may be at Liverpool. We’ll see; for now, I’ll just concentrate on this year and doing my very best. ”.

    Speaking more favorably about his time at Liverpool, the young forward mentioned a number of Reds players who were supportive of him while he was at Anfield, with special praise for James Milner.

    I learned the most from Firmino, Thiago, Milner, and Salah, he claimed. Milly adores the game. He enjoys mentoring and helping the younger boys. I’ve participated in a few sessions where, following the training, he would ask me, “Fabio, do you want to work on something?” We would then work on my positioning or finishing. Always willing to assist, he was. “.

    More new……

    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. “.

    Jürgen Klopp’s transfer window is planned out perfectly as the $55 million man “wants” to move to Liverpool.

    Roméo Lavia and Levi Colwill are wanted by Liverpool.
    A player valued at $55 million has expressed a desire to move to Anfield, so Liverpool should aim to complete two deals to give Jürgen Klopp the perfect transfer window.

    The transfer window seems to have been divided in half, as if this is the calm before the storm. After Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister, Liverpool announced the signing of Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig three weeks ago. Since then, the incoming front has been relatively quiet.

    But now Liverpool has been propelled into action, accepting a Fabinho offer that was too good to pass up and granting Jordan Henderson’s wish to join him in the Saudi Pro League.

    To fill the void left by Henderson, the Reds will only need to sign a new number six, and there is undoubtedly a case to be made that they will also need a new number eight.

    In addition, it’s important to keep in mind that another center-back is also necessary, one who can serve as dependable backup for the time being and eventually transition into a starting position.

    It may be unrealistic to anticipate that Liverpool will complete all of its outstanding tasks in the three weeks prior to the season opener against Chelsea, but it certainly seems as though things are about to pick up speed.

    Roméo Lavia and Levi Colwill are wanted by Liverpool.

    By bringing in Chelsea’s Levi Colwill and Southampton’s Roméo Lavia, Liverpool can complete the “perfect” transfer window, according to James Martin.

    The Premier League’s homegrown quota could result in squad size restrictions for the Reds, but neither player would need to be registered because of their age.

    They would eventually both meet the requirements for homegrown status, relieving the headache in the long run and providing a much-needed boost of quality in the short run. The whole story is available to read here.

    Roméo Lavia and Levi Colwill are wanted by Liverpool.
    Federico Chiesa desires a move to Liverpool.
    According to journalist Marco Guidi of Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus forward Federico Chiesa prefers Liverpool to other Premier League suitors Manchester United and Newcastle.

    Chiesa, whose market value is $55 million ($43 million/€50 million), is’more inclined’ to sign with Liverpool or Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich, according to Corriere dello Sport.

    Prior to signing Moussa Diaby from Bayer Leverkusen, Aston Villa was also mentioned, but Chiesa had no interest in joining Unai Emery’s team and was holding out for a more illustrious organization.

    Given its current priorities and the Italian’s history of injuries, James Findlater has urged Liverpool to forgo any move. As we compile the most recent speculative material, you can read more here.

  • Liverpool are reportedly extremely worried that they won’t be able to sign a £60 million Premier League player this summer.

    Liverpool are reportedly extremely worried that they won’t be able to sign a £60 million Premier League player this summer.

    According to journalist Officials at Liverpool can’t stop thinking about their 23-year-old transfer target because “they love him.”
    Liverpool is reportedly worried that they won’t be able to sign Joao Palhinha this summer after the Fulham midfielder hurt himself this week during preseason.

    The Daily Mail claims that after Palhinha left the game against Brentford in Philadelphia injured with a dislocated shoulder, the Reds are waiting to see if they can make a move for the Portuguese international.

    Liverpool is interested in Palhinha, who Fulham value at £60 million, to replace the player who is headed to Saudi Arabia, Fabinho. However, the Anfield team may be unable to complete the transfer of Palhinha due to his injury.

    Liverpool already has one obstacle to overcome in their pursuit of luring the 28-year-old dynamo to Anfield this summer because West Ham are also interested in signing Palhinha.

    Furthermore, this most recent injury development will benefit Liverpool because the window of opportunity to sign a midfielder to replace Fabinho and Jordan Henderson is rapidly closing.

    Palhinha’s injury’s extent is, in fact, still unknown.
    However, given that Liverpool is now fretting over the midfielder, it’s safe to assume that a deal for this summer may be off.

    Palhinha to Liverpool may now be postponed until January.

    According to journalist Officials at Liverpool can’t stop thinking about their 23-year-old transfer target because “they love him.”
    Liverpool’s chances of signing the midfielder this summer may be all but destroyed if Palhinha is out for the next few weeks. A deal may now need to be delayed until the January window as a result.

    Palhinha’s shoulder injury could realistically keep him out until September, just after the summer transfer window has closed, so Liverpool should start looking at new midfield targets at this time.

    Palhinha could have been a dream signing for the Reds, and this injury has come at the worst possible time for Klopp and his team, even though other options are probably already on their minds.

    Cheick Doucoure is reportedly on Liverpool’s analysts’ minds constantly, as the Reds are interested in signing the midfielder from Crystal Palace.

    In light of growing rumors that Liverpool wants to sign Doucoure, journalist Graeme Bailey claims that Anfield officials are thinking about the Eagles star player.

    Regarding Liverpool’s stance on the midfielder, Bailey responded, “Palace don’t need to sell and he’s an important player for them. According to what I’ve been told, he’s a real standout in the [Liverpool] analytics department. They adore him. ”.

    The international player from Mali only recently switched to the south London club. The 23-year-old has, however, unmistakably caught the attention of Liverpool’s transfer officials, and a move may now be in the works.

    Palace’s demands might be too much for the Reds to handle, but given Doucoure’s talent and potential—and the fact that club analysts are currently swooning over the former RC Lens superstar—it may be worthwhile for Liverpool to take the chance.

    In fact, with Jordan Henderson and Fabinho scheduled to depart for the Middle East next week, Liverpool may start considering Doucoure as a potential replacement very soon.

    Liverpool might be willing to take a chance on Doucoure.

    Even though Doucoure had a strong season in the Premier League for Palace the previous year, he may be somewhat of an unknown quantity for Liverpool. The danger, though, might be worthwhile.

    Although Doucoure may seem like an odd choice to some fans, Liverpool needs to sign a new defensive midfielder before the new season begins, and he could be the perfect choice.

    Doucoure checks many of the boxes for what supporters should be looking for in a midfield addition—young, talented, and experienced in the Premier League—and a positive evaluation from Liverpool officials should help sweeten any deal for the Anfield faithful.
