Tag: Naby Keita

Liverpool hopes to defeat Arsenal in the $64 million transfer battle by using the same tactic as Naby Keïta.

In 2017, Liverpool acquired Naby Keïta from RB Leipzig, despite being pursued by numerous other teams. The competition for a defensive target is similar for the Reds.

The summer acquisitions to Liverpool are already being linked to the team as the Anfield era draws nearer. There are just three games left under Jürgen Klopp’s leadership for the Reds, beginning on Sunday when Tottenham visits.

Arne Slot appears to be the favourite to succeed Klopp, since Liverpool and current team Feyenoord have already worked out a compensation plan. Given that Slot has stated openly that he wants the position, the personal terms are probably just formalities.

Rather than managing the squad, he’ll probably take on the position of “head coach,” concentrating on team development and coaching. Slot will not have the same level of authority over transfer targets as Klopp, but he will collaborate with Richard Hughes, the new sporting director, to identify potential candidates.

Among the players who are still being mentioned as possible additions to Liverpool is Willian Pacho, the defender for Eintracht Frankfurt. Despite just having arrived to Germany a year ago in a $9.6 million (£7.7 million/€9 million) deal from Royal Antwerp, the 22-year-old’s performances have drawn interest from other clubs.

Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany reports that Pacho has been contacted by both Liverpool and Arsenal, but Frankfurt does not intend to let him go this summer. However, the Reds may now attempt to pull off a move like they pulled off in 2017.

Encouraging Liverpool to sign Naby Keïta, the Guinean midfielder arrived the next summer after the club agreed to a contract with RB Leipzig, averting a potential move by Bayern Munich or Barcelona. Furthermore, according to SportBILD, the Reds may sign Pacho at the end of the season and then promptly loan him back to Frankfurt.

Liverpool reportedly worries that after one more season in the Bundesliga, his value would increase even more, hence it’s hoped Frankfurt would find value in the proposition. Frankfurt would still seek about $64 million (£51 million/€59 million) for the Ecuador international, whatever the terms of the transaction.

With Joël Matip due to go on a free transfer, Liverpool’s want list is probably going to be heavy in central defenders. Another addition would probably follow Pacho’s possible move. Lutsharel Geertruida of Feyenoord is eager to join Slot at Anfield, according to the Telegraaf.

While at Anfield, Keáta did win the Premier League and the Champions League, but injuries hindered his growth. He only played in a few games the previous campaign before moving on a free transfer to Werder Bremen.

However, his trip back to Germany did not proceed as expected. After appearing just five times for his new club, he was suspended till the end of the season last month for allegedly refusing to travel with the team.

According to Liverpool.com, Pacho has made a name for himself as one of Germany’s best defenders in his relatively short time at Frankfurt. He’ll probably become even more well-known the next term, so Liverpool could need to take action this summer. The 22-year-old may be a really smart move for the Reds if they can sign him and then allow him to continue growing at his present team.

Keita Naby SUSPENDED by the new team, leaving them “without a choice”

Naby Keita has been suspended by Werder Bremen for the remainder of the season and fined “substantially” after the team claimed he had left Sunday’s Bundesliga match against Bayer Leverkusen.

The 29-year-old former midfielder for Liverpool was not used in the team’s 5-0 loss at the Bay Arena. According to his club, he made the decision to “go home instead of travelling to the ground with the team” after learning he was not included in the starting lineup.

On the official club website, a statement read, “Naby Keita has been suspended by Werder Bremen until the end of the current campaign.” The midfield player has also received a substantial fine from the team.

The statement also stated that Keita, an international player for Guinea, “will no longer train with the team or be part of the first-team dressing room.”

Clemens Fritz, Bremen’s director of professional football, declared: “As a club, we won’t tolerate Naby’s behaviour.”

“He put his personal interests ahead of the team’s during a difficult period involving our recent run of form and squad availability, letting his team down.” That is not acceptable.

“We need a team that sticks together and complete focus on the remaining games at this point in the season.” That explains why they abandoned us.

“We need a team that sticks together and complete focus on the remaining games at this point in the season.” Because of this, we are without a choice.

With five games remaining, Bremen is only five points above the bottom three, having lost to Leverkusen, who secured the title.

After his contract at Anfield expired last summer, Keita, who had previously spent time in Germany with RB Leipzig, signed a three-year contract as a free agent.

Once more, Liverpool’s misfit on loan scores; he now has seven goals in ten appearances.

On loan from Liverpool to Hull City, Fabio Carvalho continued his incredible scoring streak in the Championship on Saturday with another goal.

Hull City defeated Queen’s Park Rangers 2-0 on Saturday thanks to another goal from Fabio Carvalho. With so, he continues his incredible recent record in the Championship.

The Portuguese playmaker scored a wonderful goal after running deep behind the QPR defence to take advantage of a through-ball. Then, for a 2-0 lead, the Liverpool loanee swept it home with abandon.

Carvalho has now made 16 appearances for Hull and scored eight goals, but his current form is even better. Ultimately, he needed a few games to get comfortable.

Carvalho, however, has seven strikes in his last ten games. In addition, he has scored five goals in his last six games and four in his previous four.

The 21-year-old has also routinely scored significant goals. There were braces against Cardiff City in a 3-1 victory, strikes that saved points against West Brom and Leicester City, and the game-winning goal against Southampton.

It’s just what the athlete needed after such an absurdly bad start to the season. That might even be sufficient to save his Liverpool career.

THE FUTURE OF FABIO CARVALHO

Carvalho was projected to be a great player on loan at RB Leipzig, where he spent the first part of the season. Rather, he played in just 158 Bundesliga minutes over the course of six months.

Something had to give. Carvalho was relegated back to the Championship by Liverpool, where he played some of his greatest games of the season.

It’s turned out to be a brilliant move. In his first season at Anfield, Carvalho was a bit of an oddball, if only because manager Jurgen Klopp believed he needed dependable, established numbers during a challenging campaign.

However, Carvalho’s loan with Hull demonstrates that his talent is still very much present, and at age 21, there is still time for him to succeed at Liverpool. If he wanted a chance to impress the new manager in preseason, he had to perform well in the second half of the season, and we believe he has now earned that opportunity.

According to report: Hugely influential Liverpool star set to move to Barcelona next summer.

As their recovery process continues, Liverpool may lose yet another prominent player to Barcelona.

As Jurgen Klopp continues his ambitious restructuring at Anfield, Liverpool may lose another prominent star to European rivals Barcelona.

The Reds had a busy summer, adding four new midfielders while offloading some of their most important players.
Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Roberto Firmino, and Naby Keita all moved to Saudi Arabia, while James Milner went to Brighton and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain relocated to Turkey.
Naby Keita returned to the Bundesliga.

However, another significant player might be departing despite the addition of Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, and Ryan Gravenberch.

Thiago Alcantara, who left Barcelona 11 years ago, is planning a trip back to Catalonia for next summer, according to ESPN.

When he moved with his coach from the Camp Nou to Bayern Munich in 2013, the Spaniard of Italian descent became the first player to represent Pep Guardiola at two different clubs.
After winning an unprecedented Triple under Hansi Flick, he departed from Bavaria for Merseyside in 2020.

Thiago has played a crucial role in Liverpool’s stylistic evolution under Klopp.
With the Reds moving away from the “heavy metal” gegenpress that the German made his name with in his early years, the midfield metronome has helped to usher in a possession-based philosophy at Anfield.

However, Thiago has played so little recently due to injury that he will be a free agent next summer.
Beginning in January, he can freely sign pre-agreements with European parties.

Thiago, who is 32 years old, played for Liverpool only 18 times in the Premier League last season and hasn’t yet this year.

Liverpool is allegedly interested in a Brazilian defender.

Still looking for a defender is the Reds.With a brand-new midfield but no additional defenders, Liverpool closed the summer transfer window with a bang.
It’s obvious that the center-back position needs to be filled with fresh talent.
The injury table is a point of contention for 32-year-old captain Virgil van Dijk’s teammates Ibrahima Konaté and Jol Matip like it’s the final musical chair.

Although Liverpool hasn’t historically done much business in the winter, they have been known to make exceptions if the need is great enough or the player is talented enough.
The ideal illustration of that would be van Dijk himself, with whom the Reds finally agreed to a contract in January 2018.

The Brazilian player Lucas Beraldo is one that Klopp and company are reportedly considering right now to fill the need in defense.
Currently, Beraldo represents Sao Paulo in his native Brazil.

The English and European teams are reportedly interested in him, according to the Brazilian media.

In addition to the Reds, Wolves and Newcastle United are also rumored to be contenders, and teams like Porto, Benfica, and Monaco are also being mentioned. The center back, who is 19 years old and also plays for Brazil’s U20 team, made his team debut last year.

He wouldn’t be the player vying for position next to van Dijk if he did make it to Merseyside.
Up until Klopp saw evidence of his abilities, he would hold down at least fourth place in the pecking order.

He might have been a good long-term project and a nice fit for the team, according to the scouting reports.

It’s possible, but it’s more likely that they’re just spreading false information and will soon disappear from the map.

Liverpool caused a stir with a £30m midfield signing in January

According to a report, Liverpool could finish rebuilding their midfield as soon as the January transfer window opens, with a fifth addition being valued at £30 million.

It was always anticipated that Anfield would undergo a significant renovation this summer. In fact, there were many arrivals needed because free agents James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had to leave.

But after Jordan Henderson and Fabinho were lured to Saudi Arabia, it was obvious that three or four players were needed rather than just one or two.

While the option to buy in Arthur Melo’s loan deal was ignored, Leighton Clarkson joined Aberdeen outright in another situation.

Alexis Mac Allister (£35 million) and Dominik Szoboszlai (£60 million) were quickly acquired by Liverpool from Brighton and RB Leipzig, respectively.

Spirits were dampened by unsuccessful attempts to sign Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, both of whom signed with Chelsea. The arrival of Wataru Endo from Stuttgart for £16 million and the signing of Ryan Gravenberch (Bayern Munich) on the final day of the transfer window helped to dispel the doom.

However, the Liverpool Echo reports that a fifth midfielder could very well be added in January.

Brazilian Andre is a target for Liverpool.

In fact, during the most recent summer transfer window, Liverpool sought out Brazilian international Andre Trindade from Fluminense.

According to Sky Sports, the 22-year-old was “sold” on the idea of signing with the Reds, who allegedly sent a verbal offer worth €30 million (£25 point 5 million).

Fluminense, however, was adamant that they would not consider a mid-season sale, particularly while still participating in the Copa Libertadores.

Fluminense advanced to the knockout stages of that competition, which is the South American version of the Champions League.

The Paraguayan team Olimpia was defeated by Fluminense on Thursday, 5-1 on aggregate, to advance to the semifinals. Thus, Liverpool’s chances of making a last-minute purchase before Friday’s 11:59 p.m. deadline day vanished.

The Liverpool Echo, however, claims that the transfer could be revived in January after the Brazilian domestic season is over. They cite a slightly higher transfer valuation of £30 million.

A January 2024 exit “will now be in Andre’s sights,” the report states. And when Thiago Alcantara becomes a free agent in six months, Liverpool will have already lost him.

As a result, the article’s conclusion is that Andre could join Liverpool as Thiago’s potential replacement. Liverpool has recently used the tactic of signing a replacement in the year before an anticipated departure quite frequently.

In actuality, Luis Diaz had been signed for six months before Sadio Mane was sold. In the year before Roberto Firmino left as a free agent, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo both joined.

In other news, there are unconfirmed reports that Liverpool and Fluminense are already in talks about Andre’s January transfer.

Mohamed Salah has “agreement” with Saudi Arabia as Liverpool transfer offer for $38m star ‘awaited’

Media Digest: Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has reportedly agreed a deal with Al Ittihad as a Bundesliga side face a $38m transfer bid.

Offer from Manu Koné “expected”

Bundesliga outfit Borussia Mönchengladbach ‘expect’ Liverpool to make an offer for midfielder Manu Koné before the transfer deadline expires, BILD’s Christian Falk writes in his daily briefing. Koné is now back from injury and could be available for a relatively cheap price.

“There is also Manu Koné to consider (for Liverpool),” Falk wrote. “I have heard that Gladbach are also expecting an offer from Liverpool soon, as they have become cheaper after his injury.” “Before, a suitor had to pay about $54 million; now you may be able to get it for around $38 million. So it’s up to Liverpool to take the next step. PSG are still interested in Kone, so there could be serious competition for the player if Liverpool enter the fray.”

Wataru Endō was signed from Stuttgart last week, but getting another player across the line for midfield wouldn’t be a bad thing, as long as it doesn’t hinder a future signing of a player Liverpool really want. (i.e. the later Moisés Caicedo).

Mohamed Salah to Saudi Arabia latest

Italian journalist Rudy Galetti has said Mohamed Salah would be open to a contract with Saudi side Al Ittihad, but the final decision would depend on Liverpool’s decision to raise funds – and the Reds are not among those keen to participate.

TV channel beIN Sports (via Al Jazeera) reported earlier this week that Salah has agreed a salary package with the Saudi Arabian outfit, but the final decision will rest with Liverpool. At this point in the summer, losing Salah would be unthinkable.

It makes sense that a massive salary is on offer for one of the biggest and most marketable players in the world. Neymar moved to Saudi Arabia, but Salah would surpass even that figure.

However, it would be a disappointment if the player chose money over staying in the best and most competitive league in the world. For Liverpool, the sooner a Salah switch can be categorically ruled out, the better.

The next step in Jurgen Klopp’s development involves ruthlessness, loyalty, and a task.

Although there were many possible reasons for Liverpool’s difficulties last season, many supporters preferred to concentrate on one particular factor, writes David Lynch.

They believed that neither the extended absences of Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota nor the psychological cost of narrowly missing the quadruple were significant contributors to the Reds’ poor performance.

Instead, a consensus developed around the fundamental problem being the rather abrupt and simultaneous decline of several players who had been essential to the acquisition of trophies in previous years.

We were informed that Jurgen Klopp’s lack of ruthlessness in the previous transfer windows was the sole cause of this.

This idea was primarily motivated by the belief that the midfield’s shocking collapse could have been prevented if players like Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had been let go earlier.

It’s true that by the time that pair moved within two years of their contract expiration dates, it was quite obvious that they were both injury prone and that the manager didn’t really care for them even when they were healthy.

Unfortunately for Liverpool, that was also fairly clear to any potential suitors, which is why Keita was only able to sign a contract with Werder Bremen this summer and Oxlade-Chamberlain has yet to find a club.

In actuality, it wasn’t Klopp’s hesitation to approve a transfer earlier; rather, no clubs were lining up to sign either player off of the Reds’ hands.

In light of this, it is largely unjustifiable to claim that Klopp was ever motivated solely by loyalty and a desire to hold onto them.

However, that does not imply that the German has always been faultless in that regard.

Just two summers ago, it was his personal intervention that ensured Jordan Henderson was given a new, lucrative contract that ran until 2025, and Saudi Arabia’s recent pivot to football has only been able to save that choice.

Even so, Klopp would likely contend that if his captain had been benched sooner to begin a midfield rebuild, the quadruple push of 2021/22 would not have occurred.

The Reds’ manager may also have a case for citing this summer’s transactions as evidence that his ruthlessness is by no means lacking.

Once it became clear that Henderson would be willing to join Steven Gerrard at Al Ettifaq, there was no chance of him getting in Henderson’s way.

Additionally, despite not having any intentions to sell the Brazilian going into this summer, he did not object to Al Ittihad’s approach for another stalwart in Fabinho.

In the end, a business decision was made with clarity, one that anticipated a better long-term future for the team without the two men who had been instrumental in its recent successes.

And because of Klopp’s tendency toward loyalty, we have been told repeatedly that he cannot do that.

The Anfield trophy cabinet attests to the fact that the manager has only ever had favorites when players have consistently performed for him.

That is something that the new additions from this summer will undoubtedly learn throughout the upcoming season as they strive to establish their value on the team alongside Henderson and Fabinho.

However, if they fail to meet Klopp’s demands, they will undoubtedly discover that claims that he lacks ruthlessness are largely unfounded.

Naby Keita discusses how Jurgen Klopp’s response to his ongoing injuries.

Naby Keita has opened up about his relationship with Jurgen Klopp following the end of a five-year spell at Liverpool often marred by injury concerns.

Naby Keita has admitted things “didn’t go so well” during his just-concluded five years at Liverpool, but he remains full of praise for how manager Jurgen Klopp has treated him.

Keita arrived at Anfield to high expectation from fans after a £50m+ transfer was agreed nearly a year in advance, especially after establishing himself as one of the best young midfielders in the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig.

But injuries took their toll and in his final season he made just five starts in all competitions. Keita was sacked by Liverpool at the end of the season, having already played his last game for the club in February with an injury which cut short his season.

Overall, Keita has never had an injury-free season at Liverpool and has never played more than 16 Premier League games in any given season.
He has now accepted a free transfer to Werder Bremen.

“Even though I wasn’t doing so well in Liverpool due to my injuries, I am very grateful to [Klopp],” the Guinean international told German publication BILD.

“He is a very good coach and a very good person. When I got injured, he took care of me. He kept telling me, “You are strong, never give up!” That helped me.

Liverpool needed a rebuild in midfield and quickly began recruiting midfield with the early signing of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton. The deal could eventually grow to £55million with surcharges.

Along with Keita’s transfer, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also left the club, while James Milner was granted a free transfer to Brighton. Thiago’s future is even in doubt as the Spanish veteran is the main profile of a possible offer from Saudi Arabia.

Diáz Scores For Colombia in the Liverpool International Roundup

Luis Díaz helped Colombia to a solid 2-0 victory over Germany in their friendly match. Díaz scored the game’s first goal in the 54th minute with a header past goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen.

Díaz played almost the entire 90 minutes. It was Colombia’s first victory against Germany.

In the EURO qualifiers, captain Andy Robertson played the whole game as Scotland continued their impressive winning streak. They have now won all four qualifiers. The last was Tuesday against Georgia. The Scots now have a clear lead at the top of Group A.

Portugal narrowly edged Iceland 1-0, with Diogo Jota on the bench as a substitute.

Iceland’s defeat came in the 80th minute when Willum Thor Willumsson received a second yellow card, reducing his squad to 10 men. Cristiano Ronaldo then scored a controversial goal in the 89th minute to clinch victory.

The goal was initially flagged for offside, but after a lengthy VAR check, Ronaldo was barely considered to be onside and the goal was therefore conceded. This gives Portugal a perfect record in four qualifying matches, keeping them top of Group J.

Liverpool fans claim video from inside Anfield dressing room proves three first-team players are set to leave… with trio’s pegs not adorning the new strip along with released quartet

A video of new shirts hanging in the Liverpool dressing room has left some fans wondering if three first-team stars are heading for the exit.

A clip, which was posted on TikTok’s Footy Takes channel, shows an overview of the Anfield dressing room, with the 2023-24 kits hanging from each player’s locker.

But three players still have their old shirts hanging on the hook, as do four players who are free agents, which has raised questions from some fans.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner and Roberto Firmino, who are all leaving this summer when their contracts expire, show old shirts in the video, and Naby Keita, who is leaving, has all been left out, wearing Stefan’s shirt Bajcetic in place .

But the old shirts of the departed quartet are eye-catchers, as three current first-team players also have the old kit in their lockers. Thiago Alcantara, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip have all sat in the locker room shirtless as fans enjoy stadium tours over the summer.

Interesting that Matip, Gomez and Thiago don't have the new kits up!🤨 #LFC pic.twitter.com/RfpGnkqSHF

— Anything Liverpool (@AnythingLFC_) June 21, 2023

This could be related to a number change or a printing issue, but that doesn’t stop some from speculating if they’re headed for the exit.

New signing Alexis Mac Allister has a new kit printed and ready in the dressing room as shown in the video.

“All new current team jerseys are ready for the tour. The 4 guys who are gone, Bobby, Keita, Milner and Ox, all their old shirts still hanging. The old shirts of Thiago, Matip and Gomez have also disappeared. Do they leave too? Or just a coincidence?’ one fan tweeted.

In response, another fan tweeted, “Our fans are reading us too much, no way we are selling 2CB this summer, who do you think our owners are?

LIVERPOOL JUST SOLD ‘BIG TALENT’ WHO COULD HAVE BEEN THEIR OWN JAMES MADDISON

Premier League giants Liverpool have just sold a player who has “very similar qualities” to James Maddison, while Leighton Clarkson secures his permanent transfer to Aberdeen.

In 2021, after the diminutive midfielder invaded Jurgen Klopp’s first-team thinking, the Liverpool boss drew comparisons between Leighton Clarkson and a certain Philipp Lahm for his intelligence on the ball and tactical flexibility.

The England Under-20 international has scored six goals and provided nine other assists. His creative streak and exquisite long-range shooting led Dons legend Willie Miller to mention Clarkson in the same breath as a man who has come a long way since his brief stint at Pittodrie.

“Clarkson is a huge talent who reminds me of James Maddison,” Miller told Press and Journal. “When I see what Maddison has accomplished, I think Clarkson has done the same.”

Maddison, who spent the second half of the 2016/17 season at Aberdeen, is now an England regular, not to mention his £50m target for Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United. Liverpool sell Leighton Clarkson to Aberdeen

“It sets the bar high when you start comparing Clarkson to Maddison,” Miller adds. “But why not? Clarkson has very similar qualities to Maddison. He’s also great on the ball, can score from set pieces and has a huge impact on games.

“Clarkson is a hugely exciting talent with his whole career ahead of him. Securing the midfielder on a long-term contract until the summer of 2027 is a fabulous deal from Aberdeen. Anyone who has seen the midfielder play will realize that he has enormous talent.

“That was pretty clear on his debut for Aberdeen, when he scored a sensational goal in the 4-1 win over St Mirren in August.”

Aberdeen reportedly battled competition from Rangers, Celtic and a number of English Second Division clubs before signing Clarkson for an undisclosed fee. A deal that had Dons boss Barry Robson grinning from ear to ear.

“There’s no doubt that Leighton was a positive influence during his time with us last season,” Robson told the Dons website.

“It is hugely encouraging that he has now chosen this club as his home. “He’s a bright young player and exactly the type of player we want here at the club.

He’s young, hungry and technically very good.
“He was much admired for his creativity on the pitch. And (he) showed a real affinity with the fans during his time at Pittodrie last season.

Liverpool hopes to sign an 11-goal midfielder this summer for £25 million.

Liverpool are reportedly keen to sign Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse.

According to a Daily Mail report, the midfielder is worth £50m, but Liverpool are willing to wait for his price to drop. The Reds are apparently willing to invest around £25m in the veteran midfielder.

The 28-year-old central midfielder is expected to leave Southampton this summer following relegation.

Ward-Prowse has proven himself to be a reliable player in the Premier League over the years and has 11 goals and 5 assists to his name in all competitions this season.

He could bring much-needed creativity and goals to the Liverpool midfield. He is also one of the best free-kick takers in Premier League history and could add a new dimension to Liverpool’s attack from set pieces.

Apparently clubs like Newcastle and West Ham are also interested in signing the midfielder and it remains to be seen where he will end up.

The opportunity to play for a big club like Liverpool will be tempting for him, but the Reds must first agree a transfer fee with Southampton.

Considering Southampton’s value is double what Liverpool are willing to pay, the transfer could get quite complicated.

Liverpool need to improve their midfield if they want to return to the Champions League.

They have lost the likes of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on free transfers and need several reinforcements in the middle of the park.

Liverpool approached to sign for 2022 only to leave after Klopp finds replacement

Liverpool are considering dropping Calvin Ramsay this summer after interest in him emerged from the league, reportedly.

Ramsay joined Liverpool last year in a £4.2m transfer from Aberdeen. However, due to some injury concerns, he is yet to make his Premier League debut. The full-back will now examine what he needs to do to get his development back on track.

Liverpool have Ramsay under contract until 2027. But now there are indications he could spend next season on loan.

In fact, the Liverpool Echo have revealed that Preston North End are looking to sign Ramsay on a season-long loan in the Championship.

Preston boss Ryan Lowe was born in Liverpool and now hopes he can bring the Reds on board for Ramsay next season. In return, he could follow in the footsteps of Sepp van den Berg, on loan from Liverpool to Preston between February 2021 and June 2022.

According to the report, Liverpool are yet to decide whether Ramsay will be loaned out or not. The club know they must ensure Ramsay has more playing time next season. He may still be within his under-21 lineup or in a new temporary home.

If the latter option is preferred, Preston – who finished 12th in the league this season – will be hoping to take advantage of it.
Liverpool find new cover for Alexander-Arnold

And in turn, Liverpool already have an idea of how to fill the gap at right-back. It is clear that Trent Alexander-Arnold remains their main option there, even in the new hybrid midfield role he is adapting to. But they will still need further coverage, especially after allowing James Milner to leave for free.

According to the Echo, Liverpool’s solution could once again come from their academy. Conor Bradley returns to Liverpool in pre-season following a productive loan spell at Bolton Wanderers.

Bradley himself is only 19, just like Ramsay. However, he might have the chance to show Jurgen Klopp what he can contribute. Bolton gave Bradley 53 appearances in the 2022-23 season including winning the EFL Trophy. Before that, he earned his first five senior caps for Liverpool.

The amount of playing time he gets in League One shows the benefits a spell in the EFL can have for player development. Therefore, Ramsay may be considering moving to the second tier with Preston.

Only time will tell if that will be his only option this summer and whether or not Liverpool will give the green light to the temporary transfer.

Considering that Arthur Melo has disappeared without a trace and Fabio Carvalho also wants to leave, the fact that a third player added by Liverpool last summer may also leave – albeit temporarily – does not reflect any image of the transfer job of Last year. The summer at Anfield reflected the best lights.

But Ramsay might be able to salvage something by learning his trade better in the English Second Division game. Now it’s up to Liverpool to decide what to do with him.

Liverpool has now “bitten the bullet” over the £130k-a-week star at Anfield.

Liverpool were forced to limit their losses via a £130,000-a-week starlet

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp ‘bit the bullet’ by allowing Naby Keita to leave Anfield as a free agent, RedmenTV presenter Ste Hoare has told GIVEMESPORT.

The central midfielder will leave Merseyside – along with James Milner, Roberto Firmino and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – when his contract expires at the end of the month.

Liverpool Transfer News – Naby Keita

According to respected journalist Christian Falk, writing for CaughtOffside, Keita will not guarantee a return to RB Leipzig before the new season.

The Bild reporter points out that the Bundesliga outfit are no longer interested in the Guinea international after Klopp blocked a move during the January transfer window.

When Keita joined Leipzig five years ago, Liverpool gave up almost £53million, but they won’t get any of that money back when his contract expires.

Uncertainty over the 28-year-old’s future has seen several clubs turn around, with Turkish giant Galatasaray linked with a move, while it has also sparked interest from Barcelona, Crystal Palace and Inter Milan.

Daily Express reporter Ryan Taylor recently told GIVEMESPORT that Keita has proven to be “one of the worst signings of the Klopp era”.
What did Ste Hoare say about Keita?

Hoare believes Liverpool have chosen not to renew Keita’s contract because his injury problems have made him unreliable.

The RedmenTV presenter thinks that the Reds risked not finding a buyer if they put new conditions on the table.

Hoare told GIVEMESPORT: “The general feeling you get with Keita is that it’s almost like cutting losses. Liverpool can’t trust him to be fit, and they will swallow the pain if they don’t get a transfer fee.

“The rationale would have been to get a new contract signed and then sell him.

But chances are if you give him a new contract then he’s out for six months and nobody wants to buy him.

Then you have to do it.” you’re stuck with a player you can’t get rid of. “I think Liverpool have finally bitten the bullet in that regard.

It’s not ideal, but unfortunately the overall experience with Naby Keita was a bit disappointing. It’s just a shame he couldn’t stay fit.”

Are Liverpool making the right decision to let Keita go?
Transfermarkt data shows Keita has missed more than 80 games since his costly move to Liverpool due to various issues.

It’s a hugely worrying figure and given he was on a £130,000-a-week contract, it made no business sense to come up with another lucrative offer.

Due to injuries, Keita couldn’t play a significant role in the 2022/23 season and played only 486 minutes.

WhoScored ranked him as Liverpool’s third-worst player in the Premier League, giving him an average match rating of 6.14.

Although Keita has won numerous trophies during his time with the Reds – including the Premier League title, Champions League and Club World Cup – now is a good time to part ways.

NEXT WEEK, LIVERPOOL’S £52 MILLION STAR COULD SIGN UP FOR NEW CLUB WITH PLANNED MEDICAL

Liverpool midfielder ‘Naby Keita’,who is leaving the club, is reportedly set to have a medical at Werder Bremen next week as he nears a return to the Bundesliga after five injury-plagued seasons in the Premier League.

Werder Bremen is a significant step down from some of the other teams Naby Keita has been associated with recently, with all due respect.

However, it’s possible that clubs like Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Inter Milan, who reportedly all expressed interest in the Guinean international at some point or another, came to the conclusion that the risk was not worth taking. And really, who can blame them?

After all, Keita only started three Premier League games last season and has missed over 80 games due to various injuries since moving to Liverpool from RB Leipzig in a £52 million deal in 2018.

Perhaps this is a case of beggars not being given much of a “choice” since Sky Germany and BILD are reporting that Keita is now imminently moving to Werder Bremen. .

Naby Keita is switching to the Bundesliga from Liverpool.

Last season, Werder finished 13th in the Bundesliga standings, avoiding relegation in their first season back in the top division. Ole Werner’s team may make up for their lack of glitz by providing Keita with the kind of consistent first-team football that would likely be out of his reach at a more illustrious club.

Negotiations to bring the 28-year-old midfielder to Bremen are already in progress. Before signing a contract at the Weser Stadion through the summer of 2026, Keita may even have a medical as soon as next week.

While Keita’s contract expires at the end of the month, he is one of many senior players who will be leaving the team. In addition to Roberto Firmino and James Milner leaving, Arthur Melo is getting ready to return to Juventus.

The fact that we are actually saying goodbye to four Liverpool legends, in my opinion, makes it extremely emotional, Klopp said in May.

“People probably also think of Naby’s recent injuries when they think of him. But when you reflect on significant contests, you’ll see how frequently he participated in and gave outstanding performances in these contests for us. ”.

Transfer rumors from Liverpool as Reds’submit’ $64 million proposal against new challenger in Nicol Barella’s race

Liverpool transfer news: The Reds have made a sizable offer for a player they’ve wanted for a while, and the frequently linked Nicolo Barella is now desired by other teams as well.

The first signing Liverpool made this summer has already been finalized, but the next few months are expected to be extremely busy.

Just over a week after the Reds’ campaign came to an end, they welcomed their first new player into the fold when the club officially announced Alexis Mac Allister’s signing.

The Argentine’s fee has not been disclosed by either party, but Fabrizio Romano of some reports claims it could be as little as $44 million (£35 million/€41 million), which would make it the summer’s best deal.

However, with new sporting director Jörg Schmadtke having a lot of work to do after what has been a disappointing season on all fronts, Liverpool will need more players to join Mac Allister in making the move to Anfield.

With so many midfielders currently being linked to Liverpool, he has no shortage of names to choose from. Fans will recognize one of those right away, and another will be present for Saturday’s Champions League final.

The Real Madrid player Aurélien Tchouaméni.

According to reports in Spain, Liverpool has had a $64 million (£52 million/€60 million) offer for Aurélien Tchouaméni rejected.

The French international was obviously passed over by the Reds last summer because Tchouaméni opted to transfer from Monaco to Real Madrid. His first season, however, hasn’t quite gone as planned; he’s been in and out of Carlo Ancelotti’s team, which has sparked rumors that he might be moving on once more.

In an effort to complement Alexis Mac Allister’s arrival, Liverpool reportedly submitted its bid, according to Defensa Central. However, Real Madrid is adamant that Tchouaméni is not for sale and views him as “untouchable.”.

Even though Tchouaméni’s first season at the Bernabéu did not go exactly as he had hoped, Liverpool . com notes that another attempt to sign him always seemed unlikely. If the Reds actually made a bid, it was probably done to see if Real Madrid was interested in selling, so it’s more likely that they were just testing the waters.

Although the Spanish giant isn’t known for having patience, Tchouaméni has plenty of time on his side and, with Toni Kroos and Luka Modri both nearing the end of their respective careers, even if he’s having trouble making an impact right now, the 23-year-old will undoubtedly play a role in the future.

Nicolo Barella (Inter Milan).

According to reports, Newcastle and Liverpool will compete to sign Nicol Barella this summer.

Given that Liverpool is looking for new midfielders and that Barella recently made an impression with Inter Milan and the Italian national team, he is expected to be a hot commodity. He might be the perfect addition to Jürgen Klopp’s squad.

However, the 26-year-old’s signing by the Reds would face competition. Newcastle is interested in signing Barella as well, according to Sportmediaset via FCInternews.com, and Inter may be considering selling him to help with their financial issues.

Barella would undoubtedly be a welcome addition for Liverpool, but if Inter finds itself in a situation where it must sell, that will only increase competition, and if there is one team you don’t want to be in a bidding war with, it’s Newcastle.

The Magpies now have access to practically unlimited funds, not to mention Champions League football to help them entice some bigger signings. Liverpool may have to rely on Klopp and the club’s allure to entice Barella to Merseyside.
