Tag: Michael Olise

As Arne Slot reports Liverpool transfer negotiations, Michael Olise’s price tag is revealed.

It’s possible that Liverpool will bolster their roster in the summer transfer window.

Liverpool will be closely following the action at Euro 2024 and Copa America as players from Arne Slot’s team, along with possible new signings, compete for triumph on the international stage.

Previous years have seen a number of players make big-money moves as a result of a strong summer tournament, and that situation may repeat again this season.

The transfer window started late last week, and Liverpool has not made any additions, despite the fact that few Premier League teams have moved to finalise deals at this early point.

We’ve compiled some of the most recent Reds news while transfer whispers persist.

Olise price, named by Crystal Palace.

It has been reported that Crystal Palace will only consider bids for Michael Olise that exceed £60 million.

In addition to Chelsea and Manchester United, Liverpool is reportedly among the Premier League teams interested in signing the French winger.

Making their position known, Palace is said to have valued Olise at around £60 million and will not negotiate a price below that.

The Eagles are in a strong financial situation, therefore they are not under any pressure to sell Olise or Eberechi Eze, according to BBC Sport.

The Liverpool Echo states: Given that Liverpool is not the only premier league team rumoured to be interested in a transfer, this could prove to be a difficult transaction to close. Whether or not to make such a move may depend on what transpires with Luis Diaz this summer. The Colombian plays a similar role to Olise, and the money raised from his potential exit would probably be used to sign a player along these lines.

Slot shares transfer negotiations

In his first formal interview as Liverpool’s head coach on Wednesday night, Arne Slot acknowledged that he has been concentrating a lot on recruiting lately.

The Reds have not yet made their first summer acquisition, but after Euro 2024 and the Copa America conclude, things might swiftly alter in that regard.

When asked if his discussions with the new Liverpool sporting director had been around recruitment, Slot said to liverpoolfc.com, “Yeah, and it’s also been part of spending my time in the last few weeks.” If you bring in Fabian, who I didn’t know before, you have meetings and chats with him and Richard in order to bring in the greatest candidate we could find, and I believe we were able to do so in Fabian’s case.

“He’s considered one of the most intriguing goalkeeper coaches out there right now, and I sensed this during our talks. We are discussing and holding talks regarding the remaining one or two posts that need to be filled.”

The Liverpool Echo says: A lot of choices have probably already been considered internally, so it will be intriguing to see who the Reds’ recruitment team targets in the transfer market. Slot may have targeted players from his previous team, Feyenoord, a strategy many managers have used when taking on a new position. However, because of the club’s new organisational structure, the Dutchman will not be able to have as much control over transfers as Jurgen Klopp did.

Liverpool told they will earn £100 million for Mo Salah as the perfect transfer replacement surfaces.

Liverpool will make a crucial choice on Mo Salah as the Reds legend reaches the final 12 months of his contract, one year after receiving transfer interest from the Saudi Pro League.

Former Liverpool forward Emile Heskey believes the club may still gain £100 million from the sale of Mohamed Salah.

Despite having a more challenging season than usual, the Egyptian winger scored 25 goals and assisted 14 times. Salah has just one year left on his current deal as Liverpool enters a new chapter under Arne Slot following Jurgen Klopp’s exit.

The Liverpool star has scored 211 goals for the club since joining in a £36.9 million deal in 2017. The Reds rejected a £150 million deal from the Saudi Pro League for the 31-year-old in less than a year.

Speculation over Salah’s future persists, and despite the fact that his contract has only one year left, Heskey feels his previous club can turn a profit. However, he believes it would be a difficult decision to make.

Speaking to OLBG, ex-Aston Villa player Heskey said: “Selling Mohamed Salah this summer is debatable, but I still believe Liverpool can get £100 million for him.

“This is a challenging one. The reality is that when we talk about Mohamed Salah, some fans want to sell him, yet even when his form fluctuates, he still gets 20 goals per season.

“It’s difficult to get go of someone who consistently gives you those statistics, unless you know what you’re bringing in. Liverpool has been pampered in the past; we also had Sadio Mane. And then there’s Roberto Firmino, who put it all together while also scoring 15 goals per season.”

Heskey believes in-demand player Michael Olise might give an option if Liverpool decides to sell Salah. Chelsea and Manchester United have already expressed interest in Crystal Palace’s winger this summer.

“To replace Mohamed Salah at Liverpool I like the look of Michael Olise,” Heskey stated. “He is inventive and has a free-flowing style of play. Having said that, he has a lot of suitors.

“There are several clubs, and some can afford to spend a little more than others. So you have to look at PSG, as he is also French.

“But he is the one I would want for Liverpool because he can also score goals. Jarrad Bowen is also quite forthright. But, again, I believe Liverpool requires two wingers and a forward.

Liverpool ‘prioritise’ Michael Olise’s transfer after revising summer plans

Liverpool are once again linked with a bid for Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise, after apparently moving on from a previous transfer target.

The Reds have yet to announce any fresh acquisitions ahead of the start of the summer transfer window later this month. However, rumours regarding who players Liverpool could sign to enhance their team persist.

Arne Slot, who replaced Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool’s new head coach, is still in the early stages of his tenure. Slot will begin evaluating his squad during pre-season training next month, after which he and the players will travel to the United States for three friendlies.

Before then, Liverpool is expected to be linked with many more players as the summer transfer market progresses. Olise is one such player, with Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal all reportedly interested in him in recent weeks.

Chelsea takes initial effort to snatch the $77 million Liverpool transfer target.

Liverpool may have been dealt a blow in the pursuit of one rumoured transfer target this summer, as Todd Boehly’s Chelsea looked to make the initial approach for one emerging star.

Liverpool may be disappointed in any potential transfer drive for Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise, as Chelsea has made the initial approach for the attacker.

The London-born winger, who has represented France at under international level, had his greatest season yet as the Eagles finished strong in 2023-24. Despite limited minutes due to hamstring issues throughout the season, the 22-year-old impressed with his performances.

In total, he scored 10 goals and provided six assists in 19 appearances as Palace finished 15th, securing their Premier League status for another year. According to the Mirror, Olise’s purple patch has already piqued the interest of a number of possible suitors, including Liverpool, who are keeping an eye on his availability this summer.

His current employers are reportedly unwilling to accept offers below $77 million for the former Queens Park Rangers prodigy, who has also piqued the interest of Manchester City and Arsenal. As previously said, Chelsea is believed to have made the first big move for the forward.

According to the article, his “dataset and his consistent high level of performance” have prompted the Blues to increase their efforts to sign Olise. However, one significant advantage for Liverpool in the chase may be that they can offer the attacker Champions League football, whereas their rivals from West London have just qualified for the Conference League.

With 82 appearances under his belt in England’s top tier, Olise’s experience in the division may be very appealing to transfer chiefs at the country’s top clubs throughout the offseason. At Anfield, the forward might be considered a long-term alternative for Mohamed Salah.

With the Egyptian about to enter the final year of his current contract with the Reds, it’s unclear whether the coming season will be his last on Merseyside. Olise pleased Kop hero Jamie Carragher with his performances last season, and the great defender spoke highly of the kid on Sky Sports.

He stated, “Crystal Palace has two players in Eze and Olise who could easily fit into Manchester United’s team. “They have been brilliant under Oliver Glasner,” the Liverpool star told Sky Sports. There has been chatter that Olise is United’s top summer target, and it’s easy to see why. I hope they stay.

“These are two players who can undoubtedly play Champions League or European football, and they’ll want to do so, even if it’s difficult for them to do so at Crystal Palace. So the players’ ambitions will be as significant as the club’s, and you couldn’t really complain if one of them decided to go and if they get a large offer to play in the Champions League.”

Before the end of last season, Palace head coach Oliver Glasner addressed the situation regarding the futures of both Olise and Eberechi Eze, stating: “It is the club’s responsibility to keep all of its players. I know they’ll try everything. You never know how your roster will look when the next season begins. They’re excellent players, and this is an incredible group.”

Liverpool and Tottenham battle for ‘world-class’ Premier League talent with a £60 million release clause.

Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are expected to be active in the summer transfer window as they seek to strengthen their squads ahead of next season.

The Reds were in the Premier League title fight for much of the season, but experienced a late-season slump, finishing third in the table.

Meanwhile, Tottenham were in contention for the Champions League until mid-April, but ultimately finished fifth.

A Premier League star who has been linked with both Liverpool and Tottenham has now been confirmed to have a release clause.

Crystal Palace sources have revealed to TBR Football that England player Eberechi Eze has a release clause in his contract.

Eze signed his current contract late last year, and it was thought that it contained a provision.

TBR can now confirm the existence of a clause, which we are informed is comparable to Michael Olise’s and worth at least £60 million.

While Eze’s clause, like Olise’s, is active, Palace has made it clear to both players that they do not want them to leave and that if they do, their clauses should be paid in full – rather than accepting any form of deal.

Eze, who has been named to England’s Euro 2024 squad, has several suitors, including Liverpool, Tottenham, and Newcastle, all of which are aware of his contractual status.

Liverpool and Tottenham are buoyed by Eberechi Eze’s release clause

We’ve all seen how excellent Eze is at the top level, so the news that the ‘world-class’ 25-year-old has a release clause is fantastic for Liverpool and Tottenham.

Obviously, a player of Eze’s calibre will not come cheap, but if a club is willing to activate the release clause, Palace cannot stand in his way.

Let us see what occurs in the coming weeks. Without a doubt, Eze would be an excellent addition to any of the Premier League’s best teams; the only question now is who is ready to put up the money.

Following the announcement of Manchester United’s transfer statement, Liverpool is “leading race for £102 million” midfielder.

Joao Neves, a midfielder for Benfica, is reportedly being linked to Liverpool in a mega-money transfer.

According to reports, Liverpool will have competition this summer from Chelsea, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich in the fight for Benfica midfield player Joao Neves.

The 19-year-old midfielder’s breakout season, which saw him play in 55 games across all competitions, has been linked to a big-money move away from the Estadio da Luz.

Shortly after Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s minority ownership was disclosed in January, Neves was linked to a move to United; however, Benfica denied rumours that the Portugal international was in talks to move to Old Trafford.

O Jogo, however, claims that Neves will be the focus of an enormous financial bidding battle involving some of the best teams in Europe. The Reds, United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain are all rumoured to be interested in signing the 19-year-old. Liverpool and the other three Premier League teams are allegedly “leading the race” for the midfield player, though.

According to the article, if Neves were to leave Benfica this summer, the team would require any potential bidders to fulfil his £102.3 million release clause.

When asked in February about his future at Benfica, Neves responded, “Will you be staying at Benfica next year? Nothing about the upcoming season is guaranteed. Right now, I would like to remain at Benfica, but we shall see—you never know. His current deal with Benfica expires in 2028.

In the midst of Man City rumours and the Kylian Mbappe move, Rodrygo provides Liverpool with a definitive transfer response.

Last night, Rodrygo and Real Madrid won his second Champions League championship. However, Kylian Mbappe might challenge for his spot, leading to Liverpool transfer rumours.

Rodrygo, a standout for Real Madrid, has been linked to both Liverpool and Manchester City in recent months. Following the Champions League final, the Brazilian seemed to provide both clubs with a clear response.

After being a key player in both of those victories, Rodrygo has won his second European title since joining the Bernabeu. At first glance, it’s difficult to understand why he would be connected away at all. However, there will be fierce competition for positions with Kylian Mbappe’s expected arrival, since Vinicius Jr., the Wembley goal scorer, is a pretty permanent fixture on the wing.

Consequently, it is said that Liverpool ‘contacted’ Real Madrid in April regarding the player’s availability. Furthermore, it was being said just before the championship that Rodrygo himself was “aware” of the interest; in fact, he had made remarks that seemed to rule out leaving Real Madrid.

Regarding Manchester City, communication has gotten more intense during the past few weeks. The winger was “in the sights” of Pep Guardiola’s squad, according to Marca.

But according to Give Me Sport, Rodrygo gave his admirers a clear message in the aftermath of the championship. He seems adamant on staying, even if it means competing with Mbappe for a position.

“Some media outlets reported on bids, clubs, and interest this week. Rodrygo told reporters, “I don’t know anything about it and I’m not interested.” “Even if there are suggestions, I am unaware of them. I’ll be here. Here, I’m content. How am I going to quit Real Madrid?

After his contract with PSG expires on June 30, Mbappe will join Real Madrid as a free agent, according to a story from the BBC earlier today. The foundation for this change dates back years, and it has been informally agreed upon since February.

According to Liverpool.com, significant trophy victories have influenced transfer decisions in the past. Without Istanbul, would Steven Gerrard still be playing in 2005?

In any event, Liverpool hardly ever signs players straight out of the big European leagues, even if Rodrygo had been on the move. He may have been better off staying with Manchester City, but all things considered, it’s probably a good thing.

However, given the circumstances surrounding Mbappe, Liverpool should keep a close eye on the outcome. After winning the Champions League, Rodrygo may not be able to consider leaving Real Madrid at this time, but he is too talented to not be starting most games.

Liverpool may “mould” a 15-goal winger to replace Mohamed Salah, according to Gabby Agbonlahor.

According to Gabby Agbonlahor, Liverpool should “mould” this player into the alternative for Mohamed Salah.

Mohamed Salah is still going strong and is most likely having one of his best seasons as a player for the team.

But Liverpool will eventually have to let Salah go. Though he has escaped the effects of ageing, the Egyptian is not growing any younger. Eventually, ageing will catch up with him.

I hope that won’t happen for at least a few years. Since he won’t be 32 until later this summer, he may still have a few years to perform at a high level.

However, Liverpool must move quickly and start looking for his replacement before that moment comes. Possibly even more challenging than identifying Klopp’s successor, this could be Michael Edwards’ most challenging assignment since returning to FSG.

Why Michael Olise might replace Mohamed Salah at Liverpool

according to Gabby Agbonlahor According to Gabby Agbonlahor, there is one player who might be able to succeed Salah.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Agbonlahor identified Olise as a possible Anfield heir to Salah’s position and explained why any Premier League team looking for an aggressive player would find him to be a suitable match.

“Olise, all the way. Despite the fact that both Olise and Eze are excellent players, if I had to choose, I would go with Olise, Agbonlahor stated.

“Eze is 25 and Olise is 22. decent ages. At 25, in particular, you reach a point where you realise it’s time to go on. Permit me to attend the Champions League at a very large club. He will want to keep being included in the England squad.

In addition Olivia, 22, wants to join the French national team, and Mbappe is departing. He seems like the ideal addition to PSG. I think highly of him. Just observe the goals he is scoring. That charming haughtiness he exudes. There is a £60 million release clause.

“A huge number of clubs will be vying for that contract. Villa would be lusting for him, Arsenal would adore him, Spurs would adore him, and Manchester United would beg for him.

Recognise what I mean? Give it to Antony. More than £60 million for Antony. You’re done there. You’re welcome to have him. Waste. “He would be loved by Liverpool. After Salah leaves Liverpool, might they shape him into a winger who plays deeper in the middle, similar to Salah? Very, very good player.

Michael Olise is Liverpool’s ideal match.

Olise has made 15 goal contributions in the Premier League this season despite only making 12 starts and playing in 18 games overall.

With his ability to play as a number 10 and take up space in the middle of the pitch, he is the type of player who would thrive under Arne Slot’s system.

Agbonlahor is correct; Olise would be a great addition to Liverpool as Mohamed Salah’s replacement.

Michael Olise release clause explains why Liverpool are only ‘monitoring’ winger

This Is Anfield is aware that Liverpool is interested in Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise, but his release clause might turn off fans.

Olise has long been rumoured to be a target for Liverpool as they look at other ways to reinforce their offensive line.

This Is Anfield has discovered that the 22-year-old is being watched by the team, although interest in him and Leeds winger Crysencio Summerville are still very much in the early stages.

Despite the fact that Olise, who turned 22 last month, has the potential to become a premier option for Liverpool, it is evident that he is not there yet.

This explains why, unlike many players of his calibre, the club is just keeping an eye on him rather than actively pursuing him.

Liverpool will keep an eye on their progress from a distance, and Mohamed Salah’s position about a new deal will probably have a determining factor in any choice over a summer signing.

In any case, Olise’s Palace contract contains a release clause, which might simplify any transaction but also add complications because to its high value.

The France youth international, who was born in London, can be bought out of his Selhurst Park contract for an estimated £60 million, according to a number of outlets, including the Mirror.

This occurs after Olise, who had previously allowed himself to depart for £35 million, agreed to new terms with Palace after turning down a transfer to Chelsea in August.

In their midfield makeover, Liverpool took advantage of release clauses, bringing in Alexis Mac Allister for £35 million and Dominik Szoboszlai for £60 million without the need for talks.

However, one could argue that those players were more capable and more reasonably priced than Palace’s No. 7.

Olise has nine goals and 17 assists in 72 Premier League games, which David Lynch of This Is Anfield stated is “not the level of production that usually tempts Liverpool in.”

With a £60 million investment, he would become the club’s sixth most expensive player in history and its second-most expensive attacking acquisition ever, behind only Darwin Nunez (£85 million).

Jurgen Klopp signs his first January deal, confirming Liverpool transfer

After being recalled from RB Leipzig earlier this month, midfielder Fabio Carvalho has joined HullCity on loan, according to confirmation from Liverpool.

The completion of Fabio Carvalho’s loan move to Hull City has been announced by Liverpool.

For the duration of the season, the 21-year-old midfielder is a temporary member of the Tigers’ team. After making three starts in 15 games during his time at RB Leipzig, Carvalho was recently called back by the Reds as they searched for a team where he could play regularly.

Carvalho has played in the Championship before; during the 2021–2022 season, he scored 18 goals in 36 league appearances for Fulham, which persuaded the team to sign the youthful midfield player. Tyler Morton, another Liverpool loanee, will join him at Hull.

The offensive midfielder, who was a member of Liverpool’s first team squad and made 22 appearances in his rookie season before slipping down the roster, will be trying to make an impression on Jurgen Klopp from a distance. The Tigers are now one spot off of the play-off spots from Hull’s viewpoint, therefore manager Liam Rosenior will be hoping Carvalho can aid in the team’s bid for promotion.

Rosenior stated on Hull City’s official website, “Fábio is excited to be coming here and I’m delighted to be working with him until the end of the season.” Technically, he is excellent. He can run in behind, score, and assist. He is bold, agile, well-balanced, and adept at taking the ball.

“Liverpool has seen the work we’ve done with Tyler Morton, so they can see how much potential he has. I can’t thank them enough for their trust.” Fábio has the capacity to significantly influence our season and lead us to our desired outcome

Liverpool transfer news: “Bids fly in” for Jürgen Klopp’s star player, and the release clause is “confirmed”

Liverpool transfer news: Offers have been made for a Jürgen Klopp star, and there is a reputed target with an achievable release clause. Manchester United is also reportedly keen.

Arsenal is Liverpool’s FA Cup return match today, but it hasn’t stopped the transfer rumour mill from spinning. Although Jürgen Klopp has downplayed the likelihood of signings in January, it is still feasible for players to leave on loan or even permanently.

There’s a possibility Liverpool will see an opening. Although the deal for Cody Gakpo was finalised in December ahead of the 2023 winter window, the agreement for Luis Díaz with FC Porto was reached in the final moments of the previous year after Spurs made a move for the winger, who the Reds intended to sign the summer before.

It’s feasible that some business could be done if something similar occurred again or if Liverpool was able to add a center-back to strengthen its defensive ranks who unexpectedly became available. However, it is most likely that the Anfield powder is kept out of the water until the summer.

Liverpool will already be thinking about the summer and making plans. There is a case to be made for adding a second midfield player in addition to defensive reinforcements, and the deeper roster may require additional support due to the modified Champions League format. Liverpool should be among the qualifying teams. From the following season forward, the schedule would be even more demanding.

This is Liverpool.com’s assessment of the transfer rumours that have been circulating about the Reds lately. We begin with a promising Crystal Palace striker who may be a viable choice.

Michael Olise (Crystal Palace)

According to Football Transfers, Liverpool and Manchester United are expected to compete for 22-year-old Crystal Palace youngster Michael Olise during the summer transfer window. There is rumoured to be a $76 million (£60 million/€70 million) release clause for the young French attacker.

Given that Anfield will eventually need a long-term succession plan to replace Mohamed Salah, Olise might be a worthwhile candidate to take into account. However, Liverpool ought to try to delay the necessity of replacing the Egyptian as long as they can.

According to Liverpool.com, Liverpool supporters’ opinions on the possibility of signing Olise are expected to be divided. Although Salah is a fantastic young talent, it is difficult to see the Reds spending that much money on him if they want Salah to stay on Merseyside in the summer.

Olise’s final destination may be largely determined by whose team in 2024 most needs a right-sided forward. Salah should be bound by a contract extension from Liverpool to make sure it’s not them.

Fabio Carvalho (Liverpool)

Fábio Carvalho, an offensive midfielder for Liverpool, is now attracting interest from several teams after his season-long loan with RB Leipzig was cut short due to a lack of playing time. There are ‘flying in’ bids for the Portugal star, so he needs to choose his next move wisely, according to TeamTalk.

Carvalho is reportedly of interest to a few major Championship teams, such as Leeds United, as well as Premier League teams, such as Wolves, according to Fabrizio Romano. With another loan period in the works, Liverpool will take its time in determining the best course of action. Carvalho is unlikely to play regularly if he stays at Anfield.

According to Liverpool.com; Carvalho is undoubtedly a gifted player, but notes that he still needs to figure out how to fit in with the club. He will probably play as an attacking midfielder, much like Ryan Gravenberch or Curtis Jones, but he must demonstrate that he is capable of playing at their level. It might be crucial to get his next loan move just perfect.

Liverpool is prepared to challenge Manchester United, In the race to replace Mo Salah.

In the race for Crystal Palace forward Michael Olise, Liverpool is prepared to challenge Manchester United. The Reds have something planned.

This is from Transfers in Football. According to them, Liverpool is now “at the table” for Michael Olise, the star of Crystal Palace.

Over the past few weeks, Manchester United has been strongly linked to Olise, but it appears they are not the only ones. The player is desired by Liverpool as well, and they see him as Mohamed Salah’s eventual replacement.

After all, that is a significant issue at the club. Liverpool will eventually need a successor for the Egyptian, especially if reports that he is leaving for Saudi Arabia are true. Currently, Liverpool does not have one.

As far as replacements go, Olise would be about as fantastic as it gets. However, he won’t be inexpensive.

Even though Palace won’t want to sell, especially this month, they will be under growing pressure. Not to add that United and Liverpool’s combined interest will just drive up the cost.

But ultimately, Salah’s replacement won’t be inexpensive. Liverpool will simply have to put up with that.

Liverpool is rumoured to be interested in Crysencio Summerville of Leeds United. Or would that be in place of Olise? or additionally? Or maybe just as the Palace star’s backup.

However, it seems like the Reds are considering their right side of the future. Summerville and Olise would probably cost far more and have very different degrees of experience. Olise would most likely be preferred by Liverpool.

It will be challenging, though, because United will fight them for him. Fans can probably rule out a January transfer as well.

Instead, Olise will be someone to keep an eye on throughout the summer and might end up being a very interesting addition to Liverpool.

Carragher selects two men to take Salah’s place at Liverpool – It’ll be intriguing

Harvey Elliot and Dominik Szoboszlai have been selected by Liverpool great Jamie Carragher to take Mohamed Salah’s position when he leaves for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) later this month.

On Monday night, Salah scored two goals for Liverpool against Newcastle United while playing in outstanding form.

The Reds’ victory sent them three points clear atop the Premier League standings, and the Egyptian international also contributed an assist.

Salah’s final game for Liverpool before joining the Egypt team was the encounter against Newcastle.

If Egypt advances to the AFCON final in Ivory Coast, Salah may miss up to eight games for Liverpool, which would provide manager Jurgen Klopp with a difficult offensive situation.

But before Salah leaves for the AFCON, Carragher has picked Elliot and Szoboszlai to fill in for him.

Carragher told Sky Sports, “It will be very interesting to see who he puts in that position.”

Numerous strikers for Liverpool have right footedness. While Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, and Cody Gakpo all appear to be capable of going on the left, nobody appears to have the proper balance to go on the right.

“Harvey Elliot is one of the alternatives. Although he lacks the speed to play in the front three, I believe he is more of a midfield midfielder.

Additionally, Szoboszlai. With Alexis Mac Allister back, Liverpool have a lot of alternatives in the midfield; Szoboszlai played there for his previous team.

“But it will be very difficult to replace his [Salah’s] goals.”

Liverpool’s transfer news includes FSG’s “move to tie down star” and the scouted ace’s “new release clause.

Liverpool transfer news: Over the following weeks and months, the Reds may prioritise signings over new players, but one player is being watched due to a release clause.

Right now, Liverpool’s roster appears to be in really decent shape. The fact that Jürgen Klopp’s team is at the top of the Premier League table shows that their roster is in fairly great health, but there are still areas that might be reinforced. Many would believe that not doing so in January would be a wasted opportunity.

The defence, where injuries have taken a toll and average age is beginning to rise, is the area with the most pressing questions. In the grand scheme of things, Klopp will have to consider the Mohamed Salah situation as well as whether he wants a specialised number six at Liverpool (at least when Wataru Endō has exhausted himself).

That is primarily about whether or not he travels to Saudi Arabia. It is still necessary to have a discussion about a long-term succession plan, even if Liverpool manages to stave off that threat in the summer and possibly even agrees to a new contract with Salah.

In light of this, a particular transfer market alternative is being carefully considered, and it won’t hurt to hear about a release clause. However, FSG will want to secure contracts for the talents they currently have, so there may be some action on that front soon. This is Liverpool.com’s assessment of the transfer rumours that have been circulating about the Reds lately.

Michael Olise (Crystal Palace)

Looking back, Liverpool’s summer was undoubtedly better than Chelsea’s. However, it seemed at the moment that the Blues were winning races, first for Moisés Caicedo and later for Roméo Lavia.

Therefore, it was pleasing to witness the Stamford Bridge management team’s chase of Michael Olise come to an abrupt halt. The Frenchman had a $45 million (£35 million/€41 million) release clause activated by Chelsea, but he chose not to sign the new contract with Crystal Palace.

But now, according to Football Insider, there’s a release provision in the current contract as well. Although its value has soared, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool are not deterred.

The publication had earlier stated that Liverpool had sent out its “top scouts” to observe Olise. He is thought to be Salah’s heir apparent.

According to Liverpool.com, there’s no assurance that a trade will be completed just because Olise’s contract has a release clause, as Chelsea discovered. Liverpool, though, is correct to observe with attention.

Olise’s injury history will be a possible worry, particularly if Liverpool sees him as the ultimate successor to the always available Salah. He is currently out with another hamstring issue. As a matter of fact, there are several other ways in which the two players diverge.

However, in the post-Salah era, Klopp’s team will need to adapt, and Liverpool may benefit from the wide playmaker’s enormous inventiveness. It has the ability to feed on that service in the rest of the attack, at least theoretically.

Curtis Jones (Liverpool)

An attempt to extend Curtis Jones’ contract is expected from Liverpool. That’s what Anfield Watch says.

Jones’s contract is set to expire in2027, so a renewal is hardly the most urgent issue on paper. He is one of the first team’s lowest paid players, though, and the team wants to give him a contract that is more in line with his current standing.

In addition, his terms would be prolonged by two years, till 2029. Arsenal’s rumours of interest are said to be “wide of the mark.”

According to Liverpool.com, this can only be advantageous. Although Jones may not be the target of any significant interest just yet, if Liverpool does not resolve this issue, one day it will undoubtedly arise.

Although time is on the club’s side, it’s critical that Jones, who has developed into one of Klopp’s main players, feels appreciated. It is in everyone’s best interest to reach a new agreement on better terms.
