Chelsea in advanced talks for the “new Neymar.” With a deal in place for a £108 million transformation

Chelsea Transfer News: The latest Blues headlines and gossip with stories from Mason Mount, Angelo Gabriel, Mauricio Pochettino and more. Chelsea’s morning transfer wrap-up on Friday 30 June.

Chelsea will finalize a deal to sign Santos teenager Angelo Gabriel this summer. The forward will complete a £15million move to Stamford Bridge and continue a youth recruitment campaign under the club’s stewardship.

Due to his position, age and origins with Brazilian giant Santos, the comparison to Neymar is obvious and the head coach has already made the same statement when it comes to his style of play.

One explanation for his obvious talents is that he became the youngest player ever to appear for Santos in the Copa Libertadores, beating the record held by current Real Madrid star Rodrygo. The 18-year-old and a player for the successful Santos side when he was just 15, he has already made 129 senior appearances.

Only Conor Gallagher and Enzo Fernandez are expected to remain in the midfield squad to get 2022/23 minutes for Chelsea. Carney Chukwuemeka’s role in the future, combined with the expected sales and departures of five key players, makes quite a change.

In total, the Blues are set to receive £108m for the sale of Mason Mount, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mateo Kovacic, while N’Golo Kante has also left the club after his contract expired.

Jorginho also left the club in January as the gap kept growing. It is now the area that most needs rebuilding for Pochettino as he looks to bring in some established names in the coming weeks.

Mason Mount accepts deal with Manchester United

Chelsea and Manchester United have agreed on a price for Mason Mount. The Red Devils are paying £55m plus possibly £5m in add-ons for the midfielder after three rejected offers.

Having rejected the most recent offer, worth £50m and £5m in add-ons, it was thought United might simply walk away from the talks and Mount would remain at Stamford Bridge, but both sides were keen to cross the line, they have now agreed to a fee.

against payment. Mount, who will now finalize personal terms and undergo a pre-agreement medical, will depart with just a year to go after winning the Champions League with his youth club.

Chelsea is interested in Dusan Vlahovic in a swap trade, after making a “sensationally wrong” choice

New Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino could welcome a slew of new players to Stamford Bridge this summer, with former Arsenal target Dusan Vlahovic on the agenda

Chelsea are interested in sending Romelu Lukaku to Juventus in a trade-in for former Arsenal target Dusan Vlahovic.

The Blues are currently in the midst of a dramatic rebuild at Stamford Bridge and a large number of players are on the verge of leaving the club. N’Golo Kante and Kalidou Koulibaly have already signed a transfer to Saudi Arabia.

Forward Lukaku could have joined them in moving to the Gulf state after a loan spell at Inter Milan, but he turned down the chance to move.

Chelsea are still keen to transfer their previous record signing and Juventus could be an option. According to The Telegraph, the Blues would be interested in signing the Serbian striker Vlahovic and in exchange could send Lukaku to Turin. Both forwards had difficult seasons in Italy last season.

The Chelsea loan man scored just 14 goals in all competitions during his return to the San Siro, and the Juventus star equaled that tally. It represents a huge drop in form, with the Italian giants investing £66m 18 months ago to sign Vlahovic from Fiorentina and beat Arsenal for his services.

Former AC Milan and Real Madrid striker Antonio Cassano has criticized Vlahovic for choosing to sign for Juventus. Speaking to Bobo TV, he said: “In my opinion, [Vlahovic’s decision] is blatantly wrong.

For the type of player, I think he has to make an intermediate step towards a team like Arsenal, Tottenham or Sevilla, who have signed.” [Anthony] Martial For me he has always been a B player.

“This is a huge step for him, playing with Fiorentina is something else. For him it’s a very important step, but above all a risky one.” It’s not enough for Juve to do what you did at Fiorentina.

“It’s not enough to score 15 goals, 20 goals. At Juve, every game has to be crucial. It’s a dangerous burden for him. He had to take the next step, but not two steps, at Juve you have to score at least 30 goals, goals per season and you have to bring achievements and titles home. “I don’t see him as a Juve player.

He’s a Serb, a special character, I don’t think he fits well in the Juve dressing room, that’s my opinion.”

Vlahovic’s contract at the Allianz Stadium lasts for another three years, while Lukaku’s contract with Chelsea does not expire until the summer of 2026. In light of Cassano’s claim, Vlahovic insists he has made the right decision to join Juventus.

He said: “I only had one club in mind because Juventus is Juventus. There is nothing more to say.” And now I feel honored to have this shirt.

It feels amazing every time I wear it.
“I definitely identify with their DNA. The personality of Juventus coincides with my personality. When you come here you never give up, you fight all the time, you make the sacrifices. It was definitely what I was looking for.

Liverpool transfer round-up: Ryan Gravenberch blow as Reds inform they’ve made significant mistake

Liverpool have only made one signing so far this summer in Alexis Mac Allister, but several more are expected to be made as Jurgen Klopp plans a rebuild.

After failing to qualify for the Champions League, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will oversee a rebuild this summer.

James Milner, Naby Keita, Roberto Firmino and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all left on free transfers, while world champion Alexis Mac Allister signed from Brighton.

Liverpool are expected to make a number of other signings, with Klopp and newly appointed sporting director Joerg Schmadtke set to lead talks.

Although Liverpool have a tighter budget than some of their more spending-conscious rivals, they could soon benefit from increased investment. Here’s a roundup of the latest transfer news from Anfield.

Liverpool have suffered a setback in their search for Ryan Gravenberch as the midfielder insists his ‘aim is still to succeed at Bayern’ despite being linked with a move to Anfield.

The 21-year-old, who joined Bayern from Ajax last summer, told Dutch broadcaster Algemeen Dagblad: “I guess I’ll still be at Bayern next season.” So I’m really in.

“I’m at one of the top three clubs in the world. I find it beautiful and special. I don’t give up like that. My goal remains to succeed at FC Bayern.

The Liverpool transfer mistake

Former Liverpool goalkeeper David James believes he made a big mistake by not replacing Mateo Kovacic, who joined Manchester City from Chelsea.

Speaking to King Casino Bonus, James said: “Someone who plays like Mateo Kovacic, I would have thought he would suit Liverpool better than Manchester City. I’ve had a crush on this guy for a few years.

now; the way he chooses.” The ball is high and crosses the lines with ease, it always looks like he’s going 100 mph. There’s something magical about the way he plays.

“There’s a lot of speed, energy and pace in the way Liverpool have played since Jürgen Klopp took over and someone like Kovacic would be ideal for that. The way Manchester City play tends to be much slower and less addicted to running with the ball, see Kevin de Bruyne’s passing stats.

“Pep Guardiola might think about a tactical rethink, Kovacic is not the type of player I thought Man City would be looking for. On the other hand, Erling Haaland wasn’t either and it worked well! I think that if a player like Kovacic went for the Liverpool though, I think it would be a good choice.”

With Manchester United’s move to Mason Mount stalled after their latest £55m offer was rejected by Chelsea, there have been suggestions Liverpool could dive in for the English star.

Chelsea could earn at least £60m and Klopp once called Mount a “£60m player” after making his international debut in 2019 alongside several other Chelsea academy graduates. “Tammy Abraham is a £60m player now,” L;p said at the time.

“Mason Mount certainly, if not more. [Callum] Hudson-Odoi was before that.” Liverpool have already strengthened their midfield with the arrival of Mac Allister, but further signings are expected with the departures of Keita, Milner and Oxalde-Chamberlain.

Nicolo Barella might be able to obtain his ideal Liverpool jersey number after the transfer

Liverpool have long been linked with the transfer of a midfielder from Inter Milan and Italy

Jürgen Klopp has made no secret of his admiration for Nicolo Barella and – in an ideal world – could be the perfect addition to his Liverpool squad.

A box-to-box midfielder with numerous attributes, Barella has long been linked with a move to Anfield as speculation about his future at Inter Milan mounts this summer. That said, there is a complication or two when it comes to a proposed transfer to Liverpool.

After initial plans to target Jude Bellingham were scrapped due to the huge financial cost, price remains an issue.

Even if they decide to capitalize on their star player, Inter would like around £80m for Barella, who still has three years on his contract.

However, reports from Italian publication Il Tempo suggest the figure could actually be closer to €80m (£68m). However, other clubs like Newcastle United are hiding behind his commitment anyway.

Another point to consider is that Liverpool are not securing their place in the Champions League.

However, the Reds still have enormous power and if all goes to plan their ban from Europe’s top competition will only last 12 months if they finish in the top four again next season.

Perhaps the biggest problem comes from the player itself. Inter are said to be ‘open’ to a sale but conflicting reports suggest Barella is ‘happy’ with the San Siro and has no intention of leaving the club.

This is where Klopp and his public admiration could come in. Depending on the financial means, the 26-year-old would obviously be welcomed with open arms at Anfield.

Should he ever land, a dream jersey number awaits – with a little catch. Barella currently wears Inter’s number 23 and has worn it since arriving from Cagliari three summers ago.

Of course, that particular shirt is currently worn by Luis Diaz, but there’s a chance the Colombian will decide to switch to the club’s legendary No.7 after James Milner dropped him when he left. Other team numbers now available include: 8, 9, 12, 15, 16, 24 and 25 – plus other options in the 30s and 40s.

After Mason Mount, another great’ 24-year-old is eager to leave Chelsea now

Christian Pulisic is said to be frustrated at Stamford Bridge and desperate to leave Chelsea – despite claims Mauricio Pochettino wants to work with him.

Well, the USA international endured a miserable 2022/23 season, making just eight Premier League starts while Chelsea finished 12th.
Therefore, Pulisic wants out.

The Evening Standard understands Chelsea’s number 10 in west London is no longer happy and is determined to leave Stamford Bridge before the transfer deadline.

It comes after Calciomercato claimed Pochettino likes Pulisic and hopes to work with him at Chelsea. The American – who was once described as “great” by Jürgen Klopp – joins Mason Mount and wants to leave Stamford Bridge.

The England international is said to have no plans to sign a new contract with Chelsea with his current tenure set to expire in 12 months due to strong interest from Manchester United.

Chelsea set to take hit on Pulisic

A squad overhaul usually involves some tough decisions and Chelsea have accepted that defeats have to be made.

The Mirror believes Chelsea are happy to take £34m for Romelu Lukaku – who cost £97.5m in 2021 – and now, according to L’Equipe, the Blues are open to just £17m for Pulisic.

This would represent a £41m loss on the £58m Chelsea spent to sign the 24-year-old from Borussia Dortmund in January 2019.

That’s well over £100m lost on those two players alone, although it would be foolish for Chelsea to believe anyone will pay £97.5m and £58m for Lukaku and Pulisic at this point, given their poor form in the last times.

However, Chelsea can’t keep disgruntled players at Stamford Bridge, so it’s time for the Blues to cut their losses on some fringe options.

Liverpool believes a £40 million Chelsea star would fit well at Anfield

Liverpool need a left centre-back like Chelsea’s Levi Colwill, Redmen TV presenter Paul Machin has told GIVEMESPORT.

The Reds are linked with RB Leipzig’s Joško Gvardiol but Machin believes the young Englishman could be a good alternative to the Croatian.
Liverpool Transfer News – Levi Colwill

In April, the Evening Standard claimed Levi Colwill was a top target for Liverpool and Manchester City.

Brighton & Hove Albion, where the 20-year-old spent last season on loan, are also interested. According to MailOnline, the Seagulls are considering making a £40m offer after Chelsea rejected a £30m offer.

In addition to Colwill, Liverpool have also been eyeing Gvardiol. According to Football Insider, the Merseyside club are “huge fans” of the Leipzig star, but a deal is unlikely due to his price tag.

It means Jürgen Klopp will have to explore other options, like Colwill.
What did Paul Machin say about Levi Colwill and Liverpool? Machin is adamant that Liverpool need a central defender of Colwill’s profile and believes his status at home would make him a good fit for the club.

Asked about possible alternatives to Gvardiol, the Redmen TV presenter told GIVEMESPORT: “I think someone like Levi Colwill at Chelsea, who has had a very good season at Brighton, can fill that left-sided centre-back role. He can.

” also a little left rear.
“Obviously there’s a big overhaul going on at Chelsea this summer. At the moment there doesn’t seem to be much added value from there.

They seem to be on the heels of some footballers which is why I don’t think Mason Mount has moved to Manchester United yet. But I think he suits the local culture better and fills the need for a left centre-back which I think Liverpool have.”

Will Liverpool sign Levi Colwill this summer?
Colwill could certainly be a great addition to this Liverpool side.

According to FBref, he ranks in the 92nd percentile for progressive passing and 88th for progressive carries among his positional peers.
He proves that the England Under-21 international is quite a modern defender.

However, are Chelsea ready to sell him? The answer is probably not as The Guardian reports, they want to add him to Mauricio Pochettino’s squad next season.
Unless Colwill pushes for a move, a move to Liverpool or elsewhere seems unlikely.

Mason Mount makes Chelsea decision after Mauricio Pochettino intervenes with the Manchester United transfer plan.

Mason Mount faces an increasingly uncertain future at Chelsea as his contract expires in 12 months and Manchester United are seriously interested in a transfer

Mason Mount has made an important decision amid interest from Manchester United which could impact his future at Chelsea. The 24-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford lately, but he doesn’t appear to be pushing for an immediate exit.

football.london understands the Blues were close to reaching agreement on a new contract for Mount, as his contract at Stamford Bridge expired in 12 months. However, after his return from the World Cup in December, no offers were on the table.

Shortly after the start of the new year, Chelsea resumed talks with the England international but were unwilling to sign a one-year extension.

Mount is believed to have not received a better offer since then, meaning he will become a free agent at the end of next season.

The Red Devils are said to have had three bids rejected by West Londoners for Mount, with their latest bid for £55m, including £5m in add-ons. According to widespread reports, United have walked out of talks after Chelsea made a £58million counter-offer, plus £7million in add-ons.

Despite much speculation about his future, Mount doesn’t appear ready to force a departure.

According to The Telegraph, the Cobham graduate intends to inform Mauricio Pochettino that he will turn up for pre-season training and make himself available for the Blues’ US tour, which kicks off on July 17.

Although Mount is keen to retain his contract with the west Londoners, The Telegraph says Pochettino hopes the vast majority of Chelsea players will be sold by July 17 next Tuesday, with those who have their international duties taken care of arriving. later.

Despite much speculation about his future, Mount seems unwilling to force an exit. According to The Telegraph, the Cobham graduate plans to inform Mauricio Pochettino that he will report for pre-training and make himself available for the Blues’ tour of the United States, which kicks off on July 17.

Although Mount is keen to stick to his contract with the west Londoners, the Telegraph say Pochettino hopes the vast majority of Chelsea players will be sold by July 17.

It is said that the squad will return to training from next Tuesday and those who have fulfilled their international duties will arrive later.

The Telegraph adds that Pochettino would like to meet Mount if his future is still up in the air before they start working together. While the Blues would rather not go empty-handed, the midfielder is free to leave in 12 months’ time if he doesn’t find a new club this summer.

Last month, Frank Lampard predicted a departure from Mount after claiming he was unsure how Chelsea intended to retain him.

Speaking to Sky Sports, the former caretaker Chelsea manager said: “I think it’s a difficult situation because working with Mason – and not just Mason, other players when I was here before – it are either really important players who have become for the club.”

Clubs who have a real relationship with the supporters because they really feel the club as they have been at the academy since they were eight years old and some of between them have moved to other clubs and the club are done with it have progressed well and wish them well in their careers.

“I think with Mason, especially as an individual, I don’t know what the solution is going to be because it’s the club’s and Mason’s problem. I don’t know exactly where Mason is personally, he still has a year left on his contract. ” .

“I know he is highly regarded at the club and I know the club are trying to do what they can to get him to stay, but I also think in the modern age Mason would never want to be here talking small talk to him.” which a player should do because he will see everything with his own eyes.

“I think in the past that would have been the reason you left the club. Today you have to move forward and we ended up in the situation that is happening now.”

Bayern Munich offers Todd Boehly and Mason Mount a significant lifeline, as Chelsea’s transfer strategy is criticized.

Mason Mount has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United for some time, but now that they have pulled out, Bayern Munich are in focus.

Bayern Munich could revive Chelsea’s hopes of selling Mason Mount this summer after Manchester United reportedly halted talks.

The 24-year-old midfielder faces an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge as his contract expires at the end of next season.

Unless the Blues manage to sack Mount this summer or in January, he is free to leave the club in 12 months.

While Chelsea would rather demand a transfer fee for signing the England international than let him go on a free transfer, the club appear to be making a tough bargain.

The west Londoners turned down a third offer from United worth £50million a few days ago, including £5million in surcharges. Chelsea made a counter-offer of £58m at the approach, on top of a further £7m as a bonus, but which Erik ten Hag’s side were quick to reject.

According to The Times, the Red Devils were unhappy with Chelsea’s offer and insisted they were unfairly left behind. As a result, they have reportedly ended their pursuit of Mount and Jason Cundy is less than impressed with his former club.

“I feel for Mason because he’s in a real situation where he clearly wants to join United. Obviously he doesn’t see his future with Chelsea, Chelsea don’t see his future with them,” said the former defender. of the Blues to talkSPORT. as quoted by the MEN.

“So now let’s get to the Man United situation, he sat down, agreed to the terms, as far as we know that part is done.” It is now up to the two clubs to sort out the problem.

“He has one year left at Chelsea and does not want to sign. This deal looks set to be completed within the next 10 days. What Man United have offered does not match Chelsea’s assessment of him, although one year left on his contract.

“He has one year left at Chelsea and does not want to sign. This deal looks set to close within the next 10 days. Man United’s offer falls short of Chelsea’s esteem for him, despite having one year left on his contract.

While United may now be out of the running, Bayern Munich could offer Chelsea a lifeline.

According to The Guardian, the Bundesliga champions are increasing their interest in Mount after the Red Devils pulled out of talks.

The report says the Blues might be willing to accept a lower transfer fee from Bayern, but it remains to be seen if the midfielder is ready to leave the Premier League.

Chelsea gives a weak-up call to Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia incentive as Newcastle interested in £60m deal

Chelsea are looking for a new midfielder this summer but will need to act fast with one goal left in Mauricio Pochettino’s shortlist

Mauricio Pocehttino has been encouraged to step up his search for a new midfielder this summer, with Newcastle expected to snatch Sandro Tonali from under Chelsea’s noses.

The 23-year-old has been briefly linked with a Premier League move for some time now, and the Magpies appear poised to finalize a deal.

According to The Athletic, Newcastle are close to a deal with Milan to sign Tonali for around €70m. The report said Eddie Howe’s side launched their first chase of the Italy national team earlier this week as the Blues watched from the sidelines.

Chelsea are rumored to be interested in Tonali and, despite being on the lookout for a new midfielder, have been unable to match Newcastle for signing him.

As a result, there is now one less player, who was in Pochettino’s squad, who can replace N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic.

The Magpies’ high-speed pursuit of the Italian certainly rocked West Londoners. Blink and you might miss your main focus. If Newcastle’s pursuit of Tonali has taught Chelsea anything, it’s closing a couple of deals for Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia before it’s too late…

In March, the Brighton star signed a new long-term deal that will keep him at Brighton until 2027.

Initially, it looked like Caicedo’s extension would preclude the prospect of a future move, but that doesn’t appear to be the case for the Blues which are expected to make a move in the coming weeks.

However, Chelsea are aware that the Ecuadorian international could cost around £100m. As for Lavia, football.london understands that the Blues are big fans of the Southampton star and have done extensive research on him.

The 19-year-old was strongly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in late summer – just weeks after leaving Manchester City to join the Saints – but Chelsea ultimately failed in their mission. In recent weeks it seems that Arsenal are also eyeing Lavia.

While the Blues may have unknowingly challenged a rival to a transfer race, Todd Boehly has now raked in significant sums from several sales to secure the signing of the teenage sensation.

Chelsea makes over £100 million by selling FOUR players, in order to fund their increased transfer plans

Although Chelsea may have recently made a lot of purchases, it now appears that the sale of just three first-team fringe players, all of whom are headed to Saudi Arabia, will net the team at least £100 million.

Kalidou Koulibaly, Edouard Mendy, Hakim Ziyech, and Kai Havertz, who are all headed to Arsenal, are the four first-team players that Chelsea are getting ready to part ways with for a whopping combined fee of £107 million.

The Blues want to sell the last three to various Saudi Arabian clubs in an effort to raise enough money for Moises Caicedo, a midfielder for Brighton. Personal considerations shouldn’t be a problem for the Ecuadorian international, who is thought to be interested in the Stamford Bridge move.

Because of the anticipated volume of sales in west London, it appears that newly appointed manager Mauricio Pochettino will have a sizeable budget to work with. Seven Chelsea regulars may all depart in the upcoming days.

N’Golo Kante already left to join Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, but Matteo Kovacic is soon to be formally introduced as a Manchester City player.

Mason Mount is a fan favorite, and Manchester United and Liverpool are both showing a lot of interest in him. Manchester United has already had two bids for the England international rejected. Mount is unlikely to play football in the capital next season, regardless of which of the two clubs he chooses, as Chelsea will not sell for less than £60 million.

Germany international Havertz will join Arsenal at the Emirates after a deal has been reached. The 24-year-old has been actively promoting the transfer and has already reached an understanding with the Gunners regarding personal terms.

Comment below with your thoughts on whether Chelsea will sign Caicedo this summer.

Chelsea should have no trouble meeting Brighton’s £80 million asking price for Caicedo as a result of all these departures, at least theoretically. The Blues’ £60 million offer for the 21-year-old was turned down two weeks ago, and they have yet to make another one.

The people in charge at Stamford Bridge are reportedly desperate to sign Caicedo so that they can pair him up in midfield with club-record signing Enzo Fernandez the following season.

Pochettino hasn’t officially taken over yet, but the Argentinean manager is likely to have spoken with those in charge of the team before him to discuss potential additions and departures.

The former Tottenham manager will be well aware of the size of the task that lies ahead of him in west London as Chelsea attempts to recover from one of their worst seasons in recent memory last time out.

Last season, the Blues spent over £600 million on new players during both the summer and winter transfer windows, yet they finished 12th, their lowest position ever

After a £55 million deal was made, Liverpool may have a chance to acquire Mason Mount.

Liverpool were in the hunt for a signing from Mason Mount, but in recent weeks there have been rumors that he is more likely to join Manchester United.

Manchester United are set to make a third offer for Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount, according to BBC Sport, but could be left off the negotiating table.

The Red Devils have given Liverpool a head start with the signing of the England international, although Jurgen Klopp’s side laid the groundwork for a move from Stamford Bridge early on. The interest was sparked after contract talks with the Londoners broke down after the World Cup in Qatar.

Erik ten Hag is said to have made the Cobham Academy graduate one of his main targets this summer and two offers from the Old Trafford side have already been turned down. It has been claimed that the two valuations are far apart, with Chelsea expecting a transfer fee of around £70m.

Mount has a year left on its current deal with West London and is widely believed to be swapping the capital for the North West this summer.

According to the BBC’s Simon Stone, United will make a third offer, which is expected to be around £55m, but will walk away if another approach is rejected.

He tweeted: “Third @ManUtd offer for Mason Mount, expected to be around £55m. The club intend to drop the deal if Chelsea don’t accept. With a year to go, United believe a 70 million pounds is unrealistic.”

The 24-year-old has become an interesting player for Liverpool after turning their attention away from England star Jude Bellingham. It has been reported that Borussia Dortmund are expecting a transfer fee of over £100m for the 19-year-old.

After some deliberation, the Reds opted to turn their attention to several new arrivals rather than a mega-money signing who would have broken their own transfer record and the UK record. Alexis Mac Allister was welcomed into the AXA Academy this summer after signing a long-term contract with the Reds.

Khephren Thuram is among other targets as he targets success with France Under-21s at the European Championships. Celta Vigo and Spain midfielder Gabri Veiga is also in the tournament and is shortlisted.

Meanwhile, Dutchman Ryan Gravenberch, who played for Belgium in the group opener, has been the subject of speculation over a move to Liverpool.

After Man Utd was passed over, Liverpool received a massive £17 million transfer boost from the brilliant agreement.

Liverpool midfielder Stefan Bajcetic will miss the Under-21 European Championship through injury, but it has proved to be a very sensible signing.

At the moment, all eyes are on the Under-21 European Championship, and for good reason.
No less than five of Liverpool’s transfer goals all feature in the tournament in Romania and Georgia.

Ryan Gravenberch and Micky van de Ven represent the Netherlands, Khephren Thuram and Manu Kone play for France and Gabri Veiga is on duty for Spain.

Indeed, Kopites will keep an eye on the quintet and consider how they can fit into Jurgen Klopp’s plans. The Reds also have two players of their own, Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott, looking to inspire England to victory.

Indeed, the tournament offers the best young talent from across the continent a chance to show what they’re all about.

During the summer, football fans whet their appetites with the under-21 European Championships, while senior citizens enjoy a well-deserved break.

And with the spotlight on young talents, we must also think of Stefan Bajectic.

The Liverpool midfielder should have been in the starting line-up to make Spain’s squad for the tournament after making a breakthrough in the 2022-23 season at Anfield despite being just 18. Indeed, a breakthrough season is an understatement.

Hardly anyone expected the midfielder to play 19 times for Jurgen Klopp this time a year ago. Nobody imagined that he would start a Champions League-16 match against Real Madrid with merit, surpassing Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita in other games.

Indeed, football often falls short of the status quo. Injuries may be one of the reasons rising stars get opportunities. But in Bajcetic’s case, it was thanks to the dismissed form of some of the senior squad members who had been instrumental to the Reds during their trophy-laden spell.

An outstanding performance in a 2–1 win over Wolves in an FA Cup fourth round replay led to a run of seven starts in the next 10 games for Bajcetic. There were wonderful performances in that run over Everton and Newcastle United.

When it turned out he was unavailable for the return leg against Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu in March – and when it was revealed he would not play for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury – it was a huge blow.

He had been a beacon of light in a busy engine room. Mo Salah even went so far as to say that Bajcetic had been Liverpool’s starting enforcer throughout his run in the XI.

It was last summer’s pre-season when Bajcetic first attracted attention. In a 5-0 friendly win against RB Leipzig, his performance off the bench in the second period was outstanding.

The Reds led by just one goal at half-time. Bajcetic’s stormy display and Darwin Nunez’s four goals drove the visitors crazy. And while Liverpool will be wary of their comeback, the teenager will be seen as a real midfield option next season.

With Alexis Mac Allister signed from Brighton for £35m and at least one other engine room operator set to join, Klopp won’t forget the maturity and composure of operations by Bajcetic.
Liverpool paid just £224,000 to sign Bajcetic from Celta Vigo.

Manchester United and Real Madrid were also interested, but the Reds missed a deadline before moving to Anfield in December 2020 following a change in Brexit rules – which meant English clubs could no longer sign new players. foreign players before the age of 18.

Bajcetic’s valuation has increased several times since then. His price tag is now worth more than £17m, according to CIES Football Observatory, while Transfrmarket put him at around £11.2m. However, Liverpool will not consider a sale. Bajcetic is both the future and the present.

The transfer window is open and the rumor too. Liverpool have already welcomed Alexis Mac Allister to Merseyside and their ambitions don’t stop there

Khephren Thuram impressed on Thursday night as France got off to a strong start in the European Under-21 Championship. Gabri Veiga and Ryan Gravenberch, who are expected to be the stars of the tournament, are among the Reds’ targets this summer.

Elsewhere, Liverpool are heavily networked with talent from across Europe. The latest is Edmond Tapsoba with reports suggesting Tottenham Hotspur will come under pressure from the Anfield club this summer.

According to reports from Italy, Federico Chiesa could be the latest striker to join the Reds as a €45million offer is reportedly being drawn up by Merseyside chiefs.

United see third mount offer rejected

At Manchester United, a third offer for Mason Mount was rejected.
Their latest bid for the midfielder would have been worth £50m plus £5m in add-ons.

Sporting State Chelsea have tabled a £58m plus £7m counter-offer as the two clubs struggle to reach an agreement.
Liverpool, of course, were heavily linked with Mount not too long ago but opted against making a formal offer for the England international. Was it the right move for the Reds?

Rafa returns

Rafa Benitez has agreed in principle to become Celta Vigo’s new manager as the Spaniard is set to return to football management.

Benitez has been out of work since leaving Everton at the start of last year but now looks set for a new La Liga challenge.

Nunez is 24 years old

Today, Darwin Nunez turns 24. The Liverpool striker has endured a mixed first season at Anfield and will look to find more consistency in his second season at Anfield next season.

How many goals will the striker score next season? Let us know in the “Comments” section. Liverpool in “battle” for Edmond Tapsoba

Tottenham Hotspur are set to face rivals Liverpool after the Reds were ‘taught’ Edmond Tapsoba’s situation and speculation over his future continues.

The Bayer Leverkusen centre-back has emerged as a target for Spurs and 90min.com have explained that Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle United are all monitoring the player and are actively monitoring developments.

Federico Chiesa in Liverpool: the Reds lead the race. According to reports from Italy, Liverpool are leading the race to sign Juventus striker Federico Chiesa.

Gazzetta dello Sport have claimed that it is the Reds who are on top as the Serie A giants reflect on their prized assets this summer.

In Friday’s edition of the paper, they suggest via Sport Witness that a departure of the 25-year-old would pave the way for the arrival of Nicolo Zaniolo from Galatasaray.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are said to be ‘ready to take him seriously’ at the prospect of signing the former Fiorentina striker, with the German seen as a keen admirer and pushing the move.

It was also claimed that ‘manoeuvres’ had started with players’ agent Fali Ramadani. Their report goes further and suggests that Liverpool could submit a bid between €40m (£34.2m) and €45m (£38.5m) as early as next week.

However, it has previously been reported that Juventus want a minimum of €60m (£51.3m), with European giants Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain seemingly among the competitors.

Liverpool was ordered to spend £15 million to acquire a “world-class” wonderkid before Real Madrid.

In spite of Real Madrid’s current interest, Liverpool has reportedly been told they can sign Fenerbahce wonderkid Arda Guler if they activate his €17.5 million (£15.9 million) release clause.

As reported by AS, the young talent will only be permitted to leave Turkey this summer if a club exercises his £15 million exit clause. Liverpool is just one of many teams interested in signing Guler, who has exploded onto the European scene this season.

Target Scouting has praised Guler as a “world-class” prospect, and Liverpool are now keeping an eye on the 18-year-old winger after he recently scored for Turkey against Wales in Euro 2024 qualifying. Guler has garnered a lot of praise this season for his impressive performances for Fenerbahce.

Given his youth, Guler is undoubtedly on the path to becoming one of the best players in Europe with six goals and seven assists for Fener last season across all competitions. And with the release clause set at £15 million, Liverpool may now find themselves in a position to sign the young player.

However, if Los Blancos push hard enough to bring the 18-year-old wonderkid to Spain in the upcoming weeks, Liverpool may find it extremely difficult to lure the Turkish winger to Anfield due to Madrid’s interest in him.

If Madrid makes an offer, Liverpool might have trouble acquiring Guler.

Guler’s talent seems to have no limits; at this rate, the winger will soon rank among the most thrilling athletes in all of Europe. Liverpool, however, may be unable to sign the Fenerbahce star if Madrid initiates contact with the player too soon.

Indeed, Madrid is not averse to making significant financial investments in young athletes whom the team believes are deserving of playing for the first team. And if Liverpool goes through with a move, the La Liga team might significantly outmuscle them given how impressive Guler has been over the past 12 months.

Gabri Veiga has received a contract from Liverpool worth €5 million annually.

Liverpool have offered Gabri Veiga a lucrative €5 million a year contract offer pending a possible transfer.

According to Corriere Del Mezzogiorno via Paisley Gates, Liverpool have made a lucrative contract offer to lure Gabri Veiga.

The Merseysiders are set to beat off competition for the 21-year-old Chelsea target in a €5m-a-year contract for the Spanish sensation.

Gabri Veiga’s pursuit should gain momentum in the coming weeks. More clubs are arriving to show interest in the Spanish sensation, with the Premier League admiring her.

After a sensational season at Celta Vigo, the 21-year-old was always expected to move on to a bigger challenge.

Both Real Madrid and Barcelona showed keen interest early on, but some reports suggest the Spanish giants are unwilling to pay the requested fee. Veiga is said to have a €40m release clause and Celta Vigo are unwilling to lower that price.

Thus, the responsibility fell to the Premier League teams, who have the budget to carry out the operation for Veiga. Liverpool and Chelsea are said to be interested, but Newcastle United could also be in the running.

With the 40 million euros it takes to land the 21-year-old from Chelsea, the focus is on which club makes the best deal offer.

Liverpool are stepping up their push to sign the player they see as a solid alternative to former target Mason Mount.

The London outfit could consider Veiga as Mount’s replacement with a potential transfer to Manchester United. The 21-year-old Chelsea target.

Paisley Gates reports that Liverpool have made a lucrative €5m-a-year contract offer. The same in England will amount to around £83,000 a week’s wages.

That’s a significant amount for the player who earns less than €3000 a week at Celta Vigo. The proposed contract is likely to attract him to Liverpool. Even Chelsea could make a similar proposal, perhaps even better.

Liverpool clearly need to add quality players to their squad to replace those who have already left. Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner have all left the club, leaving a huge void in the squad. The Reds have already signed Alexis Mac Allister but need more quality and Veiga could fill that gap.

Man United’s rejected offer for Mason Mount show why Liverpool withdrew

Liverpool are no longer chasing Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount, and the offers Manchester United have rejected so far show why he retired.

Earlier this summer, it looked likely that Mount Stamford would swap Bridge for Anfield as part of Jurgen Klopp’s midfield rebuild.

With the 24-year-old in the final year of his contract and Chelsea reluctant to offer him the extension he sought, Liverpool were ready to follow up on their long-standing interest.

Also at the end of May, he was presented as Mount’s most realistic option, until terms could be agreed with Man United.

As with Jude Bellingham, the Reds were quickly taken out of the picture as those within the club felt a deal was too costly to justify. However, United continued their efforts to sign the Englishman and this week Chelsea’s second offer was rejected.

According to widespread reports on Wednesday, including from Sky Sports, Chelsea have turned down a new offer worth up to £50m.

That package was a guaranteed £45m package with £5m in add-ons which, like United’s earlier offer of £40m, was “rejected immediately”.

The Athletic report says Chelsea United have presented terms which they have deemed acceptable, with the London club asking for £60m upfront and £5m in add-ons.

Despite this, it is claimed a deal is ‘closer’, although Sky Sports added that United ‘have their eyes set on a valuation they are unlikely to go beyond’.

When Liverpool waived Bellingham, they clearly decided to spread their funds across multiple midfielders which has paid off so far.

A deal for Alexis Mac Allister was valued at just £35million, with no further payments to be made at Brighton, according to This Is Anfield reports. Meanwhile, the latest reports from Nice suggest French midfielder Khephren Thuram – likely to sign up next – will be available for a similar fee.

Borussia Monchengladbach’s Manu Kone is priced in the same region, with Liverpool expected to bring in two more to join Mac Allister.

While Mount would be a great signing and help solve the local problem developing on Klopp’s side, he would also come with higher salary demands.

With Chelsea having already rejected a £50m offer and instead seeking £65m, that, plus Mount’s likely earnings of £200,000 a week, could see a deal worth at least £117m in five years.

Liverpool goalkeeper has no idea of his future at club – “If the coach likes me…”

Vitezslav Jaros has been relegated to an unlikely No.1 spot this summer but the Liverpool goalkeeper is fumbling in the dark over his future at Anfield.

After the injury of regular player Matej Kovar, Jaros has the opportunity to start for the Czech Republic in the European U21 Championship.

England (June 22), Germany (June 25) and Israel (June 28) are their group stage opponents, in which the 21-year-old will make his first competitive appearances since October.

He spent last season on loan at Stockport but was sidelined by injury for two months before falling out of favor on his return.

Jaros turns 22 in July and returns to Liverpool as a local player in the Premier League. Speculation about Caoimhin Kelleher’s future continues. But speaking to iSport in his Czech homeland, he hinted he was unsure of the plans for him after pre-season.

“I should go to training. It will be very important there. If the coach likes you, he can say he will try you,” Jaros said.

“My loan at Stockport is over, I’m back at Liverpool. We’ll see what I can find.
“I don’t know if the club wants me to stay or go somewhere else. When the opportunity arises, you have to take it.”

Jaros has been a substitute for three Champions League games in 2020/21 but has spent much of the last two and a half years on loan at St Patrick’s Athletic, Notts County and then Stockport.

It would be a big step for him to be back in the first team now, although it’s not out of the question given how many players are needed first and foremost in training.

If he were to go, Jaros expressed a desire to stay in England but admitted he was “open to anything” that was presented to him. “I got used to life and football there,” he explained.

“If there’s a good offer, I’d like to stay. But I’m not against change either. I’m open to anything.”

Jaros joined Liverpool from Slavia Prague in 2017 and is in a difficult position this summer.
