Recent LFC news includes Lavia’s “dragging,” Andre’s “want” for Liverpool, and no Caicedo move.

The focus of Friday’s roundup is midfielders, with one deal taking too long, according to Southampton’s manager, and reports of another target’s preferences emerging.

Lavia deal is “dragging,” according to Southampton’s manager.

Russell Martin has acknowledged that Liverpool’s pursuit of Romeo Lavia is “dragging on” this summer. Russell, we agree with you completely!

The Reds have already had two offers for the 19-year-old rejected, so in the interim, as negotiations with Southampton stalemate, they have turned their attention to Fluminense’s Andre.

The two clubs continue to place different values on the player, despite the fact that This Is Anfield is aware that personal terms have been reached with Lavia to join Liverpool.

Martin was asked about the futures of both Lavia and fellow midfielder James Ward-Prowse. He responded, “If they’re both not here at some point or one of them isn’t, it will be because the club and the player have both had something that is beneficial for everyone.

“I believe that is why it has taken so long so far, and I believe it might take even longer.
”.

Andre “wants” to move to Liverpool, and there was no Caicedo offer today.

According to a Brazilian reporter for Redmen TV 2, Andre “wants” to sign with Liverpool and is certain to move to the Premier League.

The unidentified club rumored to have submitted an £80 million bid for Moises Caicedo is not Liverpool.

Cody Gakpo has praised the Reds’ offensive options and stated that he anticipates Jurgen Klopp to select his forward lines based on what the team “needs for each game” next season.

The replacement for Fabinho may already be found, according to Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool.

Before the start of the new Premier League season, Jurgen Klopp will need to fill the void left by Fabinho’s departure.

Fabinho’s replacement at Liverpool, Curtis Jones, has been mentioned by Jurgen Klopp, who was impressed with the 22-year-old at the end of the previous campaign. Fabinho, a Brazilian midfielder who spent five years with the Reds on Merseyside, announced on Monday that he would be leaving the team after a reported £40 million move to Al-Ittihad.

Jordan Henderson was sold to Al-Ettifaq a few days prior to Fabinho’s departure, leaving Liverpool worryingly short of options in the middle of the park less than a fortnight before the start of the new season. The six-time European champions will undoubtedly try to add some new players before the summer transfer window closes, but Klopp has suggested that Jones might be a surprise choice to fill the void.

The Liverpool manager stated during a press conference in Singapore that Jones is undoubtedly one of the options in the current setup and the composition of the squad. “I think it’s no secret that we are still looking for players to join us; however, using what you already have is equally important, and I think Curtis can play that position with no problem.

“Can he play it when no one else in the team is defending? No, there’s no chance, but then again, I don’t know any player who can do that. But if you truly comprehend the current state of affairs, a proven 6 is not currently available. Do we offer an explanation for this?

“A lot of things can happen during the season; this has always been true. We approach it as a challenge and work to find a solution that is nonetheless compact. With the ball in his hands, Curtis can without a doubt make a significant impact. His growth over the past few months since he’s been here, in my opinion, has been truly amazing.

“Held back by some injuries sustained at the wrong time and for too long. It’s not anyone’s fault; it just happens to young players. The steps he took prior to that were excellent. It makes sense for him to be on the field. If no one else is there, he can definitely play that position. “.

Jones played in the Premier League only 18 times last season, but the latter part of the year was arguably when he was at his best while playing for Liverpool. When Jones was given responsibility by Klopp for running the show in the backroom, he frequently excelled in the middle of the park and the Reds went on to win all 11 of their final games.

It’s unclear whether he will be able to continue where he left off when the new season starts, but Klopp’s high praise suggests that he will at least be given the chance to prove himself in Fabinho’s absence. Romeo Lavia of Southampton is rumored to be one of the players Liverpool is considering signing, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see them search the market for another midfielder.

It has always been the case that a lot can happen during the season. We consider it a challenge and work to be as compact as possible despite that. Without a doubt, Curtis can make a significant impact from that position when in possession. His growth over the past few months since he’s been with us, in my opinion, has been truly amazing.

“Held back by some accidents that happened at the wrong time and for too long. Nobody is at fault; it simply occurs with young players. He had taken some really good steps prior to that. It makes sense to have him on the field. If no one else is available, he can definitely play that position. “.

It is unclear whether he will be able to continue where he left off when the new campaign gets underway, but Klopp’s high praise suggests that he will at least be given the chance to prove himself in Fabinho’s absence. Romeo Lavia of Southampton is rumored to be one of the players Liverpool is considering when searching the transfer market for a new midfielder. However, this would not be unexpected.

August 4, 2023
Romeo Lavia twist appears as Liverpool “considers” a deal for the 17-goal winger.

the most recent Romeo Lavia, Fabinho, and Keito Nakamura transfer rumors at Liverpool.

Liverpool ramps up their preseason preparations this week with a trip to Singapore where they’ll play Bayern Munich and Leicester City.

However, given the numerous gaps in his team, Jurgen Klopp will have to do it.

The club officially announced Jordan Henderson’s departure yesterday after the Liverpool captain agreed to a contentious £12 million transfer to Saudi Arabia’s Al Ettifaq.

Fabinho, meanwhile, remained in Merseyside despite being close to his own £40 million move to Saudi Arabia.

As the countdown to Liverpool’s match against Chelsea on August 13 approaches, it indicates that they will be active in the transfer market. Here are the most recent transfer rumors and who they are supposedly linked with:.

Romeo Lavia.

Romeo Lavia’s agent, Southampton, has already rejected Liverpool’s first offer, but they plan to make an even better one next time.

The Reds are planning to make a bid closer to Southampton’s £50 million asking price for the 19-year-old than their initial offer of £34 million plus £4 million in add-ons.

If Liverpool doesn’t complete the transaction quickly, there might be a twist.

Chelsea, who is rumored to be considering a move for Lavia after their most recent offer for Brighton’s Moises Caicedo was rejected, could, however, present competition.

Lavia is an alternative that the Londoners are reportedly considering, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic, so Liverpool will need to act quickly to avoid a bidding war.

Fabinho.

Italian writer Fabrizio Romano claims that the transfer of Fabinho is getting closer.

He claims that as the talks move forward, a medical could be scheduled very soon. The ECHO stated earlier this week that despite a lull in negotiations, Liverpool was still optimistic that a deal would be reached with Al Itihad.

The club is friendly with Fabinho’s agent, Jorge Mendes, and was optimistic that negotiations could move forward.

Romano reports that despite their caution, the Reds are optimistic that everything will be resolved very soon.

Keito Nakamura

Keito Nakamura, a winger for LASK, has been linked to a transfer to Liverpool.

The Japan international has been repeatedly linked with a move to Anfield, and according to Foot Mercato, the Reds want to pay £6 million for the 22-year-old before returning him on loan to Austria.

The talented winger, who scored 17 goals and had eight assists last season while also making two appearances for his country, has also drawn interest from Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa.

Although a deal to send him back on loan might make sense in theory, Liverpool hardly needs to add a new forward.

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

The latest about Chelsea’s interest in Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia with Rivals Liverpool now the front runners to sign the 19-year-old Belgium International

Romeo Lavia could play in Stamford Bridge on 13 August, but who for?

The midfielder of Southampton is a wanted man after having made an impression in the Saints’ relegation of the Premier League last season. In just 19 years old, Lavia showed real maturity in his game in what an extremely difficult campaign was for Southampton. Such adulthood, in combination with brilliant defensive displays, means that he now expects that he will continue with St. Mary this summer.

Football.London understands that Chelsea Lavia watched on various occasions last season with the scouts of the club who did extensive research into the teenager. In early June, the Blues began initial talks with Southampton about the potential signing of Lavia, but nothing has happened since.

Liverpool, meanwhile, have already seen an initial bid rejected by Southampton for the Belgium international. The Reds, who take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge next month to kick off their respective Premier League campaigns, have seen a £37m bid rejected by the Saints and are expected to return with even more money to bolster their options. midfield.

Both teams are in similar positions in midfield. Chelsea have already lost N’Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mateo Kovacic and are looking for other midfielders before the end of the transfer window, with Moises Caicedo still high on the agenda. Meanwhile, Liverpool have lost James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and Jordan Henderson. Fabinho should also leave shortly. Jurgen Klopp has brought in Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, but the German coach wants more before the new season starts.

Liverpool are now favorites in signing Lavia, while Chelsea have focused more on lengthy negotiations with Brighton for Caicedo. The Saints midfielder wants to join the Reds and there is confidence that a deal will be finalized. It looks like Chelsea will miss Lavia, which makes it all the more important to find a way to sign Caicedo. At the moment Brighton are not bouncing back on the Ecuador international’s £100m valuation but talks are ongoing and they are trying to find a solution.

Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi recently said he would be happy if the midfielder stayed at the club. However, the Seagulls manager also said there will be a plan in place in case he leaves.

“My deadline is the ego – his attitude in the dressing room and on the pitch,” De Zerbi explained. “The other is not my problem.

“I’m happy if Moises stays and plays with us. We’ll still play without him. We have to be ready to find another midfielder when Caicedo leaves.”

Romeo Lavia latest as Jurgen Klopp wants deal before imminent ‘deadline

Liverpool are ready to make an improved offer for the Southampton midfielder, to avoid Chelsea’s interest and make it part of their pre-stuagional tours through Singapore

Liverpool is ready to make an improved offer for Romeo Lavia, with the hope of quickly completing an agreement for the midfielder.

Jurgen Klopp planns to renew his machine room this summer and has already signed Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. But with Fabinho and Jordan Henderson now the subject of offers from Saudi Arabia, this soon became a need.

Lavia, who designed for the Saints of Manchester City last summer, was a radiant star in the championship despite their relegation. And he played enough heads during his first superior campaign to ensure that his decrease in the second layer is short -lived. A number of clubs have been linked with the 19-year-old, with Chelsea also remaining firmly interested. However, Liverpool want to strike while the iron is hot and just two days after an opening offer was rejected they are set to return.

Athletic report that after rejecting an initial offer of £37m, the Reds are ready to put together a financial package that should bring them closer to Southampton’s £50m valuation. This will likely consist of several possible additions, with high confidence that a compromise can be reached.

And Klopp hopes that will happen sooner rather than later when his side fly to Singapore later this week. Liverpool are set to leave on Thursday and the Kop boss wants a deal to be finalized before then so the Belgium international can sit on the plane.

Southampton manager Russell Martin praised the youngster for his professionalism midweek after playing 45 minutes in Tuesday’s friendly against Bournemouth. “Given what’s going on, I thought it would be good for Romeo to play tonight and do all these things because he didn’t have the minutes the others had.

“You can ask for an update, but I can’t give you one because I don’t know. I’ll speak to (sporting director) Jason (Wilcox) now, but I’ve prepared for this game.”

Klopp and his players returned to Merseyside after a camp in Germany, where he insisted more deals would be finalized before the competition begins in less than a month. “There are so many things to do,” he told the club’s media team. “The transfer window is open. If my day had 28 hours right now it wouldn’t be a problem – I could easily fill them!

\”There are still three and a half weeks until the first game of the season. Before then there is still a lot to do, especially in terms of the transfer market. This is now clear. And it will happen. New players must enter. We will have a good team.”

Pending an official announcement, Henderson’s departure is already complete, with the former captain making the controversial decision despite a late appeal from the club’s LGBT+ fan group.

Fabinho is also expected to leave but his move to Al Ittihad fell through due to a delay in the process. Not all parties have completed the transfer yet, which could net the Reds around £40m when completed.

July 26, 2023
Schmadtke has his eye on the £34 million star at Anfield, according to Liverpool.

If Fabinho decides to leave Anfield, the 22-year-old Bundesliga midfielder would be the ideal replacement.

According to BILD journalist Christian Falk in an exclusive interview with GIVEMESPORT, Liverpool sporting director Jorg Scmadtke has a direct connection that could aid the club in signing Manu Kone.

It’s not shocking that Jurgen Klopp’s team is linked to Jordan Henderson given the potential void his rumored departure would create in the center of the park.

Manu Kone is the subject of recent Liverpool transfer news.

Over the course of June, Manu Kone attracted more interest from Liverpool as manager Jurgen Klopp sought to further address his obvious midfield weaknesses.

David Lynch of Football Insider claimed at the beginning of June that the team had contacted Mönchengladbach regarding hiring Kone.

However, some recent events are concerning.
Gladbach’s manager, Gerardo Seoane, stated that Kone’s injury will keep him out of action for six weeks, but that’s likely to be all he needs.

“The fact that it’s not a serious injury is what matters most.
There will be a six-week wait.
As reported by Bulinews, Seoane spoke to the DPA.

It is unclear whether his injury will prevent a deal from going through, but it would prevent the young player from participating in preseason games in either Germany or England.

What did Chrisitan Falk have to say about Liverpool’s midfield lineup?

Falk claimed in an exclusive interview with GIVEMESPORT that the Reds’ sporting director Jorg Scmadtke is a die-hard fan and that the entire team has the same admiration for Kone.

He declared: “He’s also on Liverpool’s list. Schmadtke has been keeping an eye on him for the past six months, you know. The irony is that Gladbach employs his son as a manager, so you can see how quickly things are moving. ”.

Manu Kone will bring what?

Sadly, a history of injuries.

The engine room operator missed just three games during the 2022–23 season, but he was out of commission for 61 days total, excluding his current issue.

Fortunately for Kone and his employers, the majority of his off-season absences occurred; however, this is still concerning.

On a more encouraging note, the gem from Colombes is a midfield enforcer who will largely attribute his interest to his defensive prowess. Last season, he completed 1.97 successful take-ons, added 1.52 blocks, and 2.55 tackles per 90.

Jacek Kulig, a football scout, asserted that playing with Kone is “like having one extra man on the pitch,” suggesting that he is accustomed to covering every blade of grass, which will impress Klopp.

In the grand scheme of the football market, Klopp could get his hands on one for the future for just £34m and at just 22 years old, according to Fabrizio Romano’s report.

What will Liverpool do next?

Even though Fabinho and Jordan Henderson have already lost James Milner and Naby Keita this transfer window, there are concerns about their futures amid reports of intense interest.

According to The Telegraph, the two are the top targets for the ambitious Saudi Pro League, despite the fact that no formal proposals have been made.

The Saudi Arabian champions and Liverpool’s Brazil international have reportedly held discussions about the specifics, but no offers have been made, according to The Guardian.

It would be wise for Liverpool to seek out someone in the mold of Kone should these two decide to leave for greener pastures.

More news…….

A young player for Liverpool claims that he is currently competing to make Jurgen Klopp’s starting lineup.

Conor Bradley, a Liverpool prospect, has said that this year’s preseason “feels different” for him.

Last season, the right-back had a standout loan experience at Bolton Wanderers.
Bradley has a good chance of earning a spot in the first team roster because Calvin Ramsay is on loan to Preston North End for the 23–24 season.

And the 20-year-old said he’s aiming to do just that when he spoke to liverpoolfc . com for the first time since his return from Bolton.

The biggest preseason of my career thus far, he declared, was unquestionably. “Of course, I believe every pre-season will be the most important for me, but I’m looking forward to this one and seeing how I do.

“It just feels different than the last preseason I participated in. I’m currently competing for a spot in this squad. I want to work hard and compete for that position.

“I think I play much better than I did the last time I was here. I’m eager to demonstrate my abilities during the preseason. The last few years have been crazy, but I just want to keep working and moving forward to see where it leads. ”.

Bradley is desperate for a chance with Liverpool.

These are the kinds of conversations that Jurgen Klopp will adore hearing from the young right-back. After destroying everyone in his path in League One the previous season, Bradley appears eager to continue growing.

A young right-back at Liverpool can naturally only set himself up for so much success. Bradley won’t be anything like a regular next season because Trent Alexander-Arnold will be ahead of him.

Though you never know, to be fair. Trent might convince Klopp to start him in midfield on a permanent basis if the Northern Ireland international can do so.

Jurgen has so far been apprehensive to take that action. But to be fair, Liverpool has never had a full-back who was good enough to stand in for him.

That might soon change if Bradley is able to reach his early potential.

In either case, the young man at Anfield has a wide open door. Now he has the chance to continue working through it.

If he is prepared for that, it will be clear in the coming weeks.
If he performs well, he’ll undoubtedly be on the team the following year.
He will return to being on loan if he doesn’t impress enough. Bradley should be closely watched no matter what happens.

July 17, 2023
Romeo Lavia is not Liverpool’s best option to replace Fabinho.

We highlight five players who could step into Fabinho’s shoes after it became apparent that he would leave Liverpool and join the Saudi Pro League as the latest well-known athlete to do so.

As Fabinho gets closer to joining Saudi Pro League team Al Ittihad, Liverpool find themselves in a bit of a pickle.

The Brazilian player joined Liverpool in 2018 from AS Monaco and has since played 219 times for the club. He has earned the nicknames “Dyson” and “The Lighthouse” for his keen eye for the game and ability to launch counterattacks. Throughout his five years on Merseyside, Fabinho has aided the group in capturing every major trophy they have faced off for.

Although he has not travelled to Germany with the 32-man squad to continue preseason training, his time etching himself into the fabric of the club’s history appears to be coming to an end as Anfield officials consider an offer thought to be in the neighborhood of £40 million.

There are a lot of unanswered questions regarding what Liverpool will do in the 30-day window before their away Premier League match against Chelsea.

Alexis MacAllister and Dominik Szoboszlai are the two midfielders that the Reds have already acquired for £95 million this summer. These are more offensive options, so if Fabinho leaves in the near future, it will be critical to move quickly to replace him with a defensively sound midfielder.

It will be interesting to see how Jurgen Klopp shifts priorities to anyone more ready-made ahead of a crucial season because the Reds have only been connected to young talents in that area thus far.

This transaction also takes place at a challenging time, as Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo, two of the best defensive midfielders in the English top division, have recently signed for Arsenal and Chelsea, respectively. The following five players are candidates to replace Fabinho in the Liverpool squad based on players who are currently available and data from Fbref . com:.

Romeo Lavia.

More defensive midfielders have been linked this summer than any other, but the 19-year-old has received the most attention. During Southampton’s chaotic 2022–23 Premier League season, he had a personal breakthrough and made 29 appearances, which was quite impressive.

The ECHO is aware that his age and experience won’t prevent him from joining Liverpool’s squad in the future.

Based on Lavia’s capacity to convert defense into attack, Klopp has a clear opportunity to replicate his Fabinho project with the Belgian.

Lavia completed 22 successive carries of the ball during the previous campaign, 21 of which went into the defensive third of the opposition. Fabinho only recorded 15, in contrast.

Lavia lags behind the Liverpool midfielder in terms of passing range, but not by much. This is debatable.

When making passes, Fabinho completed 88.3% of them while Lavia finished 86.2%. Interestingly, when it comes to long passes (30+ yards), the roles are reversed. Lavia achieved a success rate of 73.1 percent compared to Fabinho’s 69.5 percent.

Manu Kone.

Borussia Monchengladbach’s Kone, a target mentioned earlier in the summer, is among the continent’s most promising prospects in this position.

With 166 progressive passes in 2022–2023, the Frenchman offers a comparable allure in the area of advancing the game, outpacing Fabinho’s total by five. Kone made 74 versus 65 more tackles overall.

The 22-year-old’s injury, which he sustained prior to France’s elimination from the European Under-2 Championship last month, means that he would only be fully recovered by the beginning of August, which would be a major drawback to any move. With Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago also making progress toward recovery, Klopp simply has too many problems of this kind already.

Joe Palhinha.

The Fulham midfield general presents an intriguing option for Klopp to consider as we move into the ready-made category.

The Portugal international has excelled since relocating to London, helping his team defy the odds and maintain their Premier League status. This is the first factor making him an excellent candidate for Liverpool and explaining his significant role in it.

In his first season in England, Palhinha outperformed Fabinho, who only completed 29.7 of the 90-minute games on average, by finishing 34.5. If the club wants to once again compete at the highest level of English football, availability will be essential.

The Fulham midfielder nearly doubled Fabinho’s rate of tackles per 90 minutes, going from 4 to 2 per tackle.

William Ndidi.

While the Leicester City midfielder’s six seasons of Premier League experience make him an outside option, it’s impossible to ignore him. Additionally, he is still only 26 years old.

Ndidi was a key component of Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester squads that made it to Europe and won the FA Cup, and he was frequently compared to Fabinho during that time.

Last season, the pair nearly tied for first place in tackles and interceptions, with Fabinho’s total narrowly beating Ndidi’s 99. A total of 48 clearances were also made by the Nigerian.

His rate of errors resulting in opponent shots, which tops this list of contenders by a wide margin with three in 27 appearances, is the main aspect of his game that proves to be unappealing.

Aurelien Tchouameni.

The midfielder for Real Madrid has been placed last for a special reason. He isn’t specifically on the pre-made list; instead, he just seems invulnerable.

Tchouameni is the subject of reports that surfaced yesterday, according to which Real wants to keep the player. The fact that he would be the ideal choice to fill the void left by Fabinho’s departure, however, is still worth mentioning.

First off, with four assists, he had the most offensive returns of anyone on this list from an attacking perspective. This was achieved despite only making 24 starts, as opposed to players like Palhinha who made 35 and Fabinho who made 31.

With a pass completion rate of 92.8%, he excels at making passes, and his average of 2 point 67 in shot creation per 90 minutes makes him the shot creator with the highest rate.

Although having a player of this caliber at his disposal would be Klopp’s dream, it is ultimately the least likely scenario of the bunch.

July 17, 2023
Rumor Spreading: Liverpool and Lavia Agree on Personal Terms.

Liverpool FC reportedly reached a personal agreement with Southampton’s Romeo Lavia while they wait for their captain’s decision on whether to move to Saudi Arabia.

Whether Liverpool would need to make room for Lavia by moving a midfielder like Thiago had been the subject of conflicting reports. However, it appears that Henderson’s potential departure will finish the job.

With the player committed to the Reds, hopefully the club can now start the slow-burning process of haggling a transfer fee with Southampton. Logic suggests that the price would be slightly higher than £40 million, but I would certainly anticipate Liverpool to reduce it from the £50 million fee that has been floated over the past week. That is as a result of the buy-back clause going into effect at the same price in 2019. If Soton approves the player’s transfer during this window, City will also be entitled to a portion of the transfer fee. Even though the player has only one season of experience in the top flight, the talent is undeniable.
Nevertheless, the price is still high.
We’ll see if Jörg Schmadtke and crew can complete the task.

More news…….

In the midst of the Anfield transfer turbulence, Florian Plettenberg, a Liverpool player, has been seen in Germany.

Sepp van den Berg of Liverpool reportedly has the power to arrange a transfer to a Bundesliga team soon.

This information was provided by Sky German’s Florian Plettenberg via Twitter during a period of significant change behind the scenes with potential offers for Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.

The tweet in question suggests that the defender, who briefly made an impression at Schalke after a six-month injury layoff, would be interested in a loan assignment.

Even though it’s admittedly challenging to see where the young Dutchman fits in around players like Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, it’s still debatably premature to say with certainty that he doesn’t have a future in the Liverpool backline.

It’s a potentially exciting option we could look to exploit if the player can have a fruitful stint on loan in the German top-flight. He stands at 6’4″ and has already played fairly prominently as a right-sided center-back while on loan.

It’s a discussion that is ultimately supported by “ifs,” “buts,” and “maybes,” of course, and it’s unlikely that we will be in a position to gamble next summer given rumors about the need to restock the back four in 2024.

Liverpool is prepared to move to acquire Levi Colwill.

Levi Colwill, a Chelsea center-back, is available for negotiation, according to 90min.

Despite Chelsea’s insistence that Colwill is not for sale, sources have confirmed to 90min that Liverpool is confident that they can persuade Colwill to leave Stamford Bridge.

Colwill, who was a key player in England’s victory at the European Under-21 Championship this summer, made a significant impression while on loan at Brighton and Hove Albion last year. The Seagulls have already made a few unsuccessful attempts to sign him on a long-term basis.

Brighton first proposed a permanent contract in January, and Chelsea has said repeatedly since then that they do not intend to sell the defender.

Even though Chelsea has insisted that Colwill will have opportunities to succeed this upcoming season, 90min has been informed that Colwill is not yet convinced that Chelsea should be his long-term home.

Colwill’s current contract with Chelsea is set to expire in 2025, but as of right now, negotiations have not moved forward. Players who refuse to sign new contracts will be sold, Chelsea has made clear to their team. Mason Mount and Mateo Kovacic’s departures this summer are particularly notable.

Liverpool has been concentrating on upgrading their midfield this summer, and now that Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have already been signed, they are also looking at defensive options. Colwill is in their sights as a potential new center-half, and Liverpool has been focusing on upgrading their midfield as a whole this summer.

They had expressed interest in Micky van de Ven of Wolfsburg, who is currently in negotiations with Tottenham, but Colwill has emerged as their top target, and they think he wants to move to Anfield.

Colwill said earlier this week that he was still debating his options but insisted that playing regularly is something he wants at Chelsea.

“I’ll talk to my family, talk to everyone I need to talk to, and then I’ll decide. Colwill stated, “I have to play at the end of the day to hopefully get there [England senior team] and go to the next camp.

In addition to confirming that he will speak with Colwill about his plans, new Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino added, “I need to get a feel for him. I want to know what he’s thinking. what he anticipates. Of course, I also expect him to pay attention to what I ask of him after that. “.
