Tag: Ryan Gravenberch

£152k/week Bundesliga star now ‘interested’ in moving to Anfield, according to Liverpool.

A star making £152,000 per week is one of the players Liverpool has their eye on for the upcoming season.

As Ryan Gravenberch has expressed interest in joining Liverpool, Liverpool’s pursuit of him has gained momentum. Journalist Ben Jacobs has revealed to GIVEMESPORT what stage negotiations with Bayern Munich are in.

Fabinho and Jordan Henderson have been targeted by big-spending Saudi Arabian investors, so manager Jurgen Klopp is looking for their replacements.

Liverpool Transfer news: Ryan Gravenberch.

Gravenberch has reportedly been on Liverpool’s radar for a while, and as they look to fill the void left by Fabinho, they may step up their pursuit. This information comes from Sky Sports reporter Melissa Reddy.

The esteemed journalist claims that before possibly trying to entice the central midfielder away from Bayern, the Reds have already spoken to the player’s agents.

After signing a £20 million contract with Eredivisie powerhouse Ajax last year, Gravenberch was the only player to move to the Allianz Arena.

However, the 21-year-old has found it difficult to become a valuable member of Bayern’s team and was only allowed to play 937 minutes in 2022–23.

Due to a lack of playing time, Gravenberch revealed that, although he has admirers outside of Liverpool, he would be open to moving on to new pastures.

The Netherlands international is reportedly attracting interest from Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Milan, and Napoli, but he would prefer to move to the Premier League if he were to leave Bayern.

Christian Falk, a journalist for Sport Bild, recently informed GIVEMESPORT that despite their initial plans to keep Gravenberch, the defending Bundesliga champions may be open to selling him.

Ben Jacobs has said what about Gravenberch?

Jacobs is aware that Gravenberch, who made 103 appearances while on the books of Ajax and contributed to 25 goals, would be eager to join Liverpool if they begin negotiations.

But the dependable journalist is aware that the Merseyside team has not yet increased the stakes in their hunt for the man making £152,000 per week.

Ryan Gravenberch is open to moving to Liverpool, according to Jacobs, who spoke with GIVEMESPORT. Initially, Bayern’s stance was that they didn’t want to sell him.

But under Julian Nagelsmann, Gravenberch was not particularly content. The player may be open to that move even though Thomas Tuchel is currently in charge. The only question is whether Bayern is willing to sell. There hasn’t been any advancement. “.

What will Liverpool do after this?

The Guardian reports that Liverpool’s latest high-profile player to be linked with a transfer is midfielder Marco Verratti of Paris Saint-Germain.

Despite making 38 appearances last season, the Ligue 1 powerhouses are reportedly willing to approve the Italian international’s transfer if a compelling offer is made before the summer transfer window closes.

The Crystal Palace club has made it clear that they will not sell Cheick Doucoure for less than £70 million, despite the fact that Klopp has taken notice of him.

In addition, targets have been identified as Kalvin Phillips of Manchester City, Sofyan Amrabat of Fiorentina, and Boubacar Kamara of Aston Villa.

Romeo Lavia of Southampton is believed to be sold on a move to Anfield, and Liverpool is getting ready to make a formal approach for him.

A legend of Liverpool responds to the “outrage” over Jordan Henderson’s move to Saudi Arabia.

Robbie Fowler, a former player for Liverpool, believes that the “outrage” over Jordan Henderson’s potential salary of £700,000 per week in Saudi Arabia is misplaced.

After much-publicized talks with Al-Ettifaq, Henderson joining Steven Gerrard’s management team would be welcomed by the former striker, who now oversees Saudi Arabia’s second-tier team Al Qadsiah.

He stated in his Mirror column that “Jordan Henderson’s alleged wages have caused the outrage.”. “I’ve never really understood why the salaries of football players are such a touchy subject, but the billions made by financiers are never called into question.

But first, let’s be clear about something. I won’t criticize Steven Gerrard, Jordan, or anyone else who has worked in Saudi Arabia or is considering doing so. Not because I’m taking the money as well — that just isn’t true.

“As I’ve previously stated, I accepted a position in the league beneath the Saudi Pro League because I’m ambitious to become a manager and because I want to establish my credentials. I haven’t had that opportunity in the UK. ”.

Al-Ettifaq are reportedly having financial difficulties paying Liverpool’s £20 million asking price for Henderson, despite their sizable wage offer.

Another Reds midfielder, Fabinho, may be leaving for the Middle East after receiving a £40 million offer from Al-Ittihad.

Some worry that Arabian football will deprive the Premier League of its best players, a worry that Fowler is unconcerned about along with the fees changing hands. Dissatisfaction with the region’s record on equality and human rights has been expressed by others.

Fowler continued, “I am close with Stevie and I know Jordan well. I believe Steven is similar to me in that he wants to manage, he wants to establish himself, and since leaving Aston Villa, the right opportunity hasn’t appeared.

“Now that he has the support of a major team, he plays in a league that aspires to improvement and to ranking among the best leagues in the world. An ambitious manager has a fantastic opportunity to advance.

“Yes, there has been money thrown at this large project, but we can all ponder why there is that financial backing now. Has the Premier League’s identical action been criticized by anyone?

Ryan Gravenberch makes a comeback and Jürgen Klopp considers a target for Manchester United in the latest Liverpool transfer news.

Liverpool transfer news: Ryan Gravenberch, a star for Bayern Munich, has returned, and Jürgen Klopp is reportedly eyeing a player that Manchester United likes (again).

Fabinho, the Brazilian number six who is expected to move to Saudi Arabia, must be replaced at the center of Liverpool’s midfield. The Reds will need to make at least one more change in the pitch’s middle after they already made one.

Jordan Henderson, the team’s captain, has drawn interest from the Middle East in addition to Fabinho, though no bids for the former Sunderland player have yet been made public. In contrast to Fabinho, Henderson is currently in Germany with his Liverpool teammates.

Liverpool will be required to find replacements should one, the other, or both players move. It will need to be someone who arrives with decent caliber as well, given the experience between the two.

The precise names on the shopping list of new sporting director Jörg Schmadtke have not yet been revealed, but Liverpool must make the right choice for the position of Fabinho’s replacement.

When Fabinho leaves, a few names have been mentioned as potential replacements. Here is the Liverpool . com opinion on the transfer rumors that have been swirling around the Reds today.

Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat.

Sofyan Amrabat, a World Cup star who was linked to Liverpool in January, could take Fabinho’s place as a replacement. The Moroccan is one of the names being considered, according to The Athletic.

Amrabat is a naturally talented holding midfielder, but at the age of 26, he needs to advance significantly quickly to meet Liverpool’s standards. Although he’s a good player, Fabinho wasn’t at his best.

The Independent had earlier this week’s report that the midfielder was also being looked at by Manchester United. However, given Erik ten Hag’s other ventures, any action would be dependent on sales.

There would be a lot of “what if?” if Liverpool did sign Amrabat this summer when he was first reported to be available in January, according to Liverpool . com. It is not that simple, of course, but Amrabat would not be the kind of game-changing addition that most are hoping for post-Fabinho regardless if the deal had simply been made six months in advance.

Ryan Gravenberch(Bayern Munich)

According to Sky Sports reporter Melissa Reddy, Ryan Gravenberch of Bayern Munich, who Liverpool had interest in earlier in the summer, is another player on the list to replace Fabinho.

Instead of standing out as a player who can play as a lone holding midfielder, Gravnberch is more of an attack-minded player who can double-pivot alongside another player.

According to Liverpool.com, Gravenberch might change the way he plays if Liverpool sees something in him. Alternately, Gravenberch is not the main target; Liverpool has its sights set on a different player. The Bayern Munich star has already stated that, if at all possible, he would prefer to remain with the German powerhouses, with a lack of playing time currently being his only complaint.

More news…….

There is “blood in the water,” according to a journalist, as Liverpool tries to sign a player for £40 million.

Levi Colwill, a defender for Chelsea, is the target of Liverpool, who genuinely believe they can sign him.

Colwill has emerged as the Reds’ top target to bolster their defense this summer. However, the general consensus has been that it will be extremely challenging to pry him away from Chelsea.

But, according to author Graeme Bailey, that might no longer be the case. Bailey asserted during an appearance on 90min’s Talking Transfer Podcast that Liverpool is becoming more optimistic about the possibility of a transfer.

According to our understanding, Liverpool believes they can free him, the journalist says. The opportunity for Levi Colwill to play for Chelsea is guaranteed.

Although Chelsea doesn’t want him to leave, players who don’t commit to their futures are sold. There is something in this that I believe Colwill finds appealing.

Liverpool is pushing for this quite hard because they can see that there is blood in the water. At Anfield, there is a conviction that they can land him because he is their top target right now.
”.

Colwill’s support from Liverpool is growing.

It will cost Liverpool a fortune to sign Colwill this summer, whether or not you believe it. It won’t be cheap if Chelsea eventually caves and sells the 20-year-old.

Brighton has reportedly given up after having a £30 million offer rejected. The Seagulls allegedly had a £40 million offer on the way, but it has not yet been delivered.

They appear willing to pay whatever sum is required on behalf of Liverpool in order to bring Colwill to Anfield.

They appear to think the England U21 star wants the transfer and are prepared to put Chelsea to the test. However, no firm offer appears to be forthcoming as of yet.

Liverpool’s current attention is perhaps too much on improving their midfield. They still don’t know how that part of the roster will look come next season, but they are fairly settled in defense.

Jurgen Klopp still has four excellent center-back options if Colwill isn’t signed, for instance. The repercussions will be worse if he fails to bring in another midfielder.

Therefore, it might be some time before we actually see any movement with regard to Colwill going to Liverpool. But perhaps that’s okay as long as his situation at Chelsea is precarious.

Liverpool line up four stars and a’sensational’ new three-man swap deal between Man Utd and an attacker worth £60 million.

Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United have all made moves thus far in the summer transfer window.

On Saturday, July 15, these are the most recent rumors surrounding transfers coming out of the Premier League and other countries.

Hojlund was traded by United for three players.

In order to acquire Rasmus Hojlund, Manchester United is offering a three-man swap.

The Atalanta striker shot to the top of their list of targets once it became clear that a deal for Harry Kane of Tottenham could not be reached.

As of right now, according to Football Insider, United has made the Italians an offer for three players in exchange for the 20-year-old. They refer to it as a “sensational new offer,” but the Serie A club is adamant that they only want to deal in cash.

Already established personal terms.

Harry Maguire, Fred, Scott McTominay, and Jadon Sacho are reportedly surplus to requirements, so United is prepared to let them leave Old Trafford this summer.

Liverpool has four people on hand.

Liverpool has four candidates on its short list to replace Fabinho, who will be leaving the team for Al-Ittihad.

The Brazilian, who did not go to Germany with the Reds team for their preseason tour, has a £40 million bid submitted for him.

There are currently four names on their wanted list, but Moises Caicedo of Brighton is not one of them.

Melissa Reddy of Sky Sports tweeted that Liverpool had been considering long-term candidates to take Fabinho’s place. The profile might change because they’ll need a quick starter.

Sofyan Amrabat, Ryan Gravenberch, Kalvin Phillips, and Romeo Lavia are just a few of the names that have been suggested, but Moises Caicedo is not on their list. ”.

The need for more depth in Liverpool’s engine room will increase if Jordan Henderson leaves because he is also considering moving to the Middle East.

Tino’s bid is unsuccessful.

Newcastle United’s attempt to acquire Southampton’s Tino Livramento was unsuccessful.

Football Insider claims that the Magpies and Saints were unable to agree on a price for the full-back.

Following the team’s Premier League relegation, Livramento is anticipated to leave St. Mary’s this summer.

The defender only made two appearances for the south coast club during the 2022–23 season due to an ACL injury.

Livramento agreed to a five-year contract with Southampton in the summer of 2021 that is valid until 2026.

The 20-year-old is now up for sale, and Russell Martin must choose whether to make a profit. Kieran Tierney of Arsenal may now be the focus of the Toon’s attention.

Rice agrees to join Arsenal.

Declan Rice is now a member of Arsenal, putting an end to the summer’s longest-running saga.

The West Ham captain signed a five-year contract at the Emirates for somewhere around £105 million. The option exists to extend for an additional 12 months.

Manchester City, the Premier League and European Champions, were interested in Rice, but he had his heart set on joining Mikel Arteta and the Arsenal across London.

In response to the news of his transfer, Rice told the club’s media: “First of all, I just want to say a huge thank you to all of the Arsenal fans for the support so far. There has been a lot going on and a lot of speculating for months, which has made it feel overwhelming. But as a player, it goes without saying that you want to settle things as soon as possible.

I just finished my first day, and I already feel at home. ”.

Liverpool choice is bad news for Harry Kane as Jurgen Klopp looks for next signing

Bayern Munich’s move for Harry Kane just got a little tougher.

Liverpool have reportedly cooled their interest in Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch. The news will come as a blow to the Bavarian giants who now have no further cash injection of £25m to boost their bid for Harry Kane.

Sky Sports transfer expert Florian Patterson reports the Reds are out of the running for the Dutchman and are instead focusing their attention on signing Romeo Lavia. However, the Athletic say Liverpool aren’t looking for another midfielder until they sack one of their existing midfield players.

Liverpool recently completed the transfers of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai and have plenty of options for the job next season.

Alongside their new signings, Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago, Stefan Bajcetic, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott and Trent Alexander-Arnold will also be battling for spots in the squad.

There are also concerns about the £50m asking price for Lavia. Liverpool aren’t ready to pay that much for the 19-year-old given he’s only had one season at the top flight.

Bayern hope to fire a number of players this summer as they continue their hunt for Kane and Gravenberch is believed to be one of them. However, the 21-year-old assumes he will stay at the club.

He told Algemeen Dagblad: “I assume I’ll still be with Bayern next season. That’s how I really feel. I’m with one of the top three clubs in the world. I think it’s cool and special. I don’t give up like that. My goal remains to succeed at FC Bayern.

Although Daniel Levy made it difficult for Kane to leave Spurs, the Tottenham boss has reportedly reached a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ with his captain which allows him to move to a club outside of England.

That’s on the condition that Tottenham’s £100million valuation of the player is met, an outrageous price for a player with one year remaining on his contract. However, Bayern haven’t lost hope and continue to keep tabs on their debut goal.

Erling Haaland is evidence that Dominik Szoboszlai can help Jürgen Klopp unleash an $82 million Liverpool player

Darwin Nunez has yet to live up to expectations at Liverpool. However, Jürgen Klopp’s most recent additions might be about to bring out the best in the Uruguayan.

Darwin Nunez will be the first to admit that during his first season at Liverpool, things haven’t exactly gone as he had hoped.

Although the Uruguayan has demonstrated a lot of promise, he hasn’t quite found his footing in Jürgen Klopp’s squad.

However, it was always going to take time.
Nunez was a long-term commitment for Liverpool, and his first season was always going to be difficult because he had never played in England and was still learning the language.

The forward was signed for an initial $82 million (£64 million/€75 million), had never played in England, and was still learning the language.

Every forward won’t go off like Erling Haaland, though.

Even Luis Suárez, a legendary goal scorer for Liverpool and Nunez’s countryman, took a few seasons before he started to really contribute to the team’s goals.

Another example is Victor Osimhen, who scored just 10 goals in his debut season at Napoli despite being one of the best forwards in the world right now.

With four assists added in, Nunez’s total of 15 goals is not a bad performance in this regard for the Uruguayan forward.

But it makes sense that he will aim to increase those numbers even further the following season.

And he has the standing to continue doing just that.
Nunez frequently needs time to settle in and make adjustments before he can get going.

In his first season at Benfica and at UD Almera in Spain, he exhibited the same traits.
Nunez’s former coach at Almera, David Badia, gave an interview to Liverpool .
com last season and outlined why he persisted and never gave up in order to start scoring goals for the Spanish team on a regular basis.

Coaches adore players like him because they are open to listening and working, according to Badia.
“People you know are listening when you speak, and they don’t assume they already know everything.

He also strives to become a better player every day.
At Almera, he was seeking advice on how to perform better in training each day.
Naturally, when he missed out on some training exercises, he was unhappy about it and made efforts to change and become better each day.
That will position him well for the upcoming season.

Dominik Szoboszlai’s entrance will be one more.
With Trent Alexander-Arnold now on Liverpool’s right side, the Hungarian might be about to unleash the best of Nez in the upcoming campaign.

Szoboszlai is known for his originality and has collaborated with players who are similar to Nez in the past. He combined 12 times at Salzburg with Patson Daka, with whom he formed a terrifying trio alongside Erling Haaland. Christopher Nkunku and Andre Silva received assists at RB Leipzig thanks in large part to Szoboszlai.

For the Hungarian national team, he frequently teamed up with number nine dám Szalai, who was also a tall and athletic forward before retiring earlier this year, to score goals.

When Nez and Haaland traveled to England for large sums of money last summer, comparisons were made that weren’t fair but were nonetheless valid. Szoboszlai is able to identify both as number nines who enjoy slipping into the spaces behind them. Relationships between Szoboszlai and Haaland (and the others) show how much he enjoys having a goalscorer who is that willing to assist him.

Szoboszlai has the potential to help someone like Nez succeed because of his crossing prowess, set-piece specialization, and vision from open space to produce defense-splitting passes. The Hungarian may even be able to bring out the best in Liverpool’s most expensive summer signing by season’s end.

Why Liverpool signing £60million Dominik Szoboszlai is more probable after today

RB Leipzig playmaker Dominik Szoboszlai a £60million transfer target for Liverpool.

Liverpool transfer target Dominik Szoboszlai’s release clause expires at midnight tonight.

Until then, the RB Leipzig player can be signed for £60million without the need for talks between the clubs, thanks to the option in the player’s contract.

However, if you want to sign the playmaker afterwards, you need to negotiate a transfer fee with Leipzig and not just use the clause.

Representatives of the Hungary international, also wanted by Newcastle, met with Liverpool officials earlier this week.

According to Sky Sports, the encounter went well but the Reds will not rush their decision to sign the 22-year-old as they explore their options following the signing of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton.

Nice’s Khephren Thuram and Bayern Munich’s Ryan Gravenberch are two other midfielders close to their hearts. But the fact that they met the people of Szoboszlai clearly shows that they are very interested.

However, in the case of Liverpool, the expiry of the release clause after midnight could see them increase their interest rather than withdraw.

Indeed, fulfilling the clause would appear to require Jurgen Klopp’s side to pay the full £60million in one go. However, the negotiation with Leipzig would instead be about a deal where Liverpool could pay the fee in installments, or with add-ons forming part of the amount, as they do with other deals.

Mac Allister was signed for a guaranteed £35million which rises to £55million with add-ons and bonuses. The Reds have done a lot of business with Leipzig owners Red Bull in recent years and have brought in Ibrahima Konate and Naby Keita from Leipzig since 2017.

They have also bought Takumi Minamino from Red Bull Salzburg – Szoboszlai’s former club for the Leipzig – in 2020.

Fabio Carvalho is currently on loan from Liverpool at Leipzig, while Sadio Manè is another former Salzburg player who played at Anfield.

Liverpool are hoping that such a strong relationship with Red Bull can help them sign Szoboszlai on more favorable terms, be it in the form of a lower overall fee, a fee paid over several years or with a part payment added. we.

However, Salzburg will collect 20% of any amount paid for the Hungarian attacking midfielder, meaning there is no guarantee the deal will ease next month or until August. Still, it’s easy to see why Klopp would be eager to work with the player.

Szoboszlai is an attacking midfielder with good numbers: 10 goals and 13 assists in all competitions in 46 games last season and 10 goals and nine assists in 45 games the year before.

He is also extremely versatile, able to play as an 8, left wing, right wing or as a number 10 on either side. And given his profile and his age, 22, combined with his experience (248 appearances for club and country), it’s no surprise he’s a target for Liverpool.

Szoboszlai has all the credentials, but it won’t be an easy deal given his enormous potential. Three years ago, when he left Salzburg for Leipzig, it cost him £17m.

However, the expiry of his release clause does not mean the end of Liverpool’s interest. It should have the exact opposite effect as sporting director Jorg Schmadtke tries to persuade Leipzig to accept a lower fee or a deal more suited to the Premier League giants.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

June 30, 2023
Three transfers were completed, Dominik Szoboszlai was signed, and Liverpool spent $138 million during the ideal transfer window.

Liverpool have signed Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig on a five-year deal worth £60m Liverpool have signed Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig for £60m for five years.

The Hungary captain becomes the fourth most expensive player of all time at Anfield, behind Virgil van Dijk (£75m), Alisson Becker (£65m) and Darwin Nunez (initially £64m).

He will wear the number 8 shirt made famous by legendary former captain Steven Gerrard.

The Reds moved quickly to sign the 22-year-old this week after it was discovered there was a £60m clause in his contract with Bundesliga club Leipzig which expired on 30 June.

Liverpool officials met with Szboszlai’s reps earlier in the week and held productive talks with Hungary-based agency EM Sports before officially approaching Leipzig on Friday as the Reds announced they intended to initiate the midfielder’s release .

Newcastle United were also interested and could offer Szboszlai the Champions League for next season, but ECHO has learned the attacking midfielder has expressed his desperate desire to work with Reds boss Jurgen Klopp.

As a result, the Magpies were forced to move on to other alternatives, clearing the way for Liverpool to finalize talks with Leipzig before being allowed to fly to England on Friday evening for Saturday afternoon medicals, which took place in a structure. in the northwest.

It is understood the breakthrough in the negotiations initially came as the two clubs were battling the terms of Fabio Carvalho’s move to Leipzig on a season-long loan deal, which was confirmed on Friday afternoon.

The move is further evidence of a major midfield rebuild at Anfield this summer, following the arrival of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton & Hove Albion last month.

We’ve said before that the ideal Liverpool transfer window would involve adding a more specialized defensive presence. But in Szoboszlai, Klopp would be getting a number eight who was willing to do more than his fair share of grunt work. Mac Allister is also no stranger to that aspect of the game; in fact, he has even played as a number six in the past. They would provide Fabinho with plenty of protection as the two in front of him, enabling the Reds to put off making a decision in that part of the field for at least another season.

Liverpool should have enough money to sign a third new midfielder even with two such wise additions. However, with Szoboszlai and Mac Allister already being of starting caliber, the subsequent player could enter with less pressure and a greater focus on potential. The club chooses from players like Ryan Gravenberch, Gabri Veiga, and Khéphren Thuram, which is where the more well-known names return to the forefront.

The latter would be ideal if it were ultimately possible to wrest him away from Bayern Munich. Gravenberch has always seemed like the perfect “third addition” midfielder: high potential with a tiny bit more risk. He hasn’t exactly played much this year, after all. At Ajax, he more than merited his status as a wonderkid, and Klopp could make him into something extraordinary.

Liverpool ought to make a strong effort if the asking price of just $28 million (£22 million/€25 million) is even remotely accurate. The actual sum would undoubtedly be higher if a deal could be reached; however, FSG wouldn’t have to spend a fortune to acquire him, as Bayern Munich only paid slightly less than that last summer. The potential unwillingness in Bavaria to let him go at all is the much greater obstacle.

Finally, Liverpool cannot ignore the defense; ideally, the club would sign a young, talented center-back this summer to head off a potential problem. Micky van de Ven is a frequently mentioned candidate who seems to fit the bill, though it appears that Spurs will be a rival. According to Goal, the Reds would have to pay Wolfsburg about $33 million (£26 million/€30 million) if they were to win that race.

These three transactions would add to the $138 million (£109 million/€126 million) already spent on Mac Allister in terms of expenditures. With no major departures anticipated, that is undoubtedly a very significant transfer window for FSG, but it is acknowledged that a rebuild is required. Genuine quality cannot be purchased for a lot less money.

The ideal transfer window, however, is becoming more obvious thanks to this most recent Szoboszlai link.

More news…….

Liverpool’s 24-year-old player will be fantastic, according to Jurgen Klopp, next season.

Jurgen Klopp would expect Darwin Nunez to shine for Liverpool next season after an uneven first year in the Premier League at Anfield.

According to Athletic, the German manager has high expectations for the 24-year-old striker, who scored 15 goals in his first season on Merseyside after Nunez completed a blockbuster transfer from Benfica to Liverpool that could cost up to £85m.

With Roberto Firmino leaving Liverpool, Nunez is expected to be given more minutes as Klopp looks to split playing time between his five-star strikers. And the Uruguayan international could make a name for himself in the new season.

In UEFA Europa League football, Nunez could become a Liverpool regular, making Klopp’s new task of juggling the team’s fitness while challenging for the Premier League title a challenge the former Benfica star could happily accept.

With Nunez now more accustomed to the Premier League and playing for Liverpool, fans expect him to improve on his goalscoring tally from last season, a feat the 24-year-old could easily match if he gives his brand new season. .

Klopp is right to demand more of Nunez in his second season at Liverpool

Nunez arrived at Liverpool this summer with one of Europe’s biggest shouts and while 15 goals isn’t a bad tally for a striker making his Premier League debut, many fans and critics were expecting more. . And Klopp has every right to demand more from the striker next season.

In fact, Nunez has grown in confidence with every game in England and for Liverpool.

And with the Reds entering a whole new world with the Europa League next year, the South American talisman could become the attacking leader of the Anfield side if all goes well for the former Benfica star.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Liverpool transfer mistake

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brighton retain interest in the man Liverpool admire

According to Alex Crook, TalkSport’s chief football correspondent, Brighton and Hove Albion maintain their interest in young Chelsea defender Levi Colwill.
Last month, ECHO reported the Reds’ admiration for the 20-year-old as they stepped up their search for a defender, just days before the Seagulls saw a £30m bid from Chelsea rejected. At first it was suggested that Brighton would return with a club-record offer of £40million, but that never materialized. Despite this, they maintained their interest, while Liverpool kept their cards close to their chest.
To dash the hopes and dreams of both clubs, new Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino apparently wants to keep Colwill next season.

Salah wins Reds Goal of the Season

Mohamed Salah’s winning goal in Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Manchester City at Anfield last October was voted the club’s goal of the season.

A forgettable campaign was littered with many memorable moments, this being one of them. From Alisson’s impeccable ball over the top to Joao Cancelo’s Salah breakthrough and finishing past Ederson, it was a truly superb goal against the champion-elect.

Liverpool ‘Weiper eye’

Liverpool have reportedly been tracking Mainz youngster Nelson Weiper for the past two years.
That’s according to German publication BILD, via Sport Witness, which reports that “new demands keep coming” for the player as he continues to impress in the Bundesliga.
The report goes on to say that Liverpool have been “very keen” on Weiper for “more than two years” and have already wanted to “lure” him to Anfield.

Former Liverpool defender Max Thompson has died

Former Liverpool defender Max Thompson, the Reds’ youngest player at 36, has died aged 66.

Legendary manager Bill Shankly handed the youngster his debut against Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the 1973-74 season aged 17 years and 129 days, in Scotland’s iconic final season in charge.

In a tribute, the club said: “Liverpool FC is deeply saddened by the passing of former player Max Thompson.
“Thompson, once the youngest ever player for the Reds, has sadly passed away at the age of 66.

The Liverpool-born defender joined the club as a trainee before securing a professional contract.
Aged 17 years and 129 days, Thompson got his senior debut from Bill Shankly with a start in the last game of the 1973-74 season, a 1-1 draw away to Tottenham Hotspur.

“That club record would stand until May 2010 when Jack Robinson appeared in a Premier League match for Hull City aged 16.”

Phillips has been linked to Man United

Manchester United are reportedly preparing to stun Pep Guardiola with a transfer offer for midfielder Kalvin Phillips. According to Spanish publication Fichajes, United boss Erik ten Haag has given the green light to the transfer and is confident he can get the most out of the England star who has struggled to establish himself at Man City.

A fee of around £35m was reportedly paid, which is £10m less than Man City sent to Leeds last summer. The England international was linked with a move to Liverpool in April.

Rabiot extends his stay at Juve

Adrien Rabiot has extended his stay at Juventus after agreeing a new one-year contract with the club.
The French midfielder’s contract expired in the summer but he signed for another year with the Italian giants in a bid to end speculation over his future.

Manchester United have been heavily linked to Rabiot, with Liverpool also mentioned as a possible destination in previous reports.
The 28-year-old joined Juventus in 2019 after leaving PSG.

Doku ‘remains in Liverpool’s sights’

Rennes winger Jeremy Doku is said to be on Liverpool’s radar after emerging as a target for the Reds in 2018.

The youngster was offered a tour of Melwood and Anfield as a teenager in a bid to get him to join the club. A move was not forthcoming, but according to a report from L’Equipe, the Belgian star remains ‘in Liverpool’s sights’.

The article adds that Doku’s future at Rennes is “not certain” due to recent transfer speculation, with the player’s contract due to expire in two years.

Leeds are “interested” in Phillips

Leeds United would consider a transfer for Nat Phillips on a permanent basis.
The 26-year-old made just five appearances for Jurgen Klopp’s first team last season and has been close to leaving the club on more than one occasion.

What Liverpool will do with the defender this summer remains to be seen, although the Athletic have reported that Leeds are interested in signing Phillips.

Burnley finalize deal for ex-Liverpool goalkeeper

Burnley have finalized the signing of former Liverpool goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux.
Vigouroux left the Reds in 2016 after zero first team appearances to sign for Swindon Town and has since built a solid reputation in the EFL.

Last season he kept 24 clean sheets in the Second Division and helped Leyton Orient win the title. After his contract expired in the summer, he is now back in the Premier League.

Liverpool are ready for a €90m bid for Valverde

Liverpool have reportedly set aside €90m (£77m) for the services of Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde.

After Jude Bellingham’s arrival in the summer and the signing of new contracts for Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, the Uruguayan is a ‘main candidate’ to leave Los Blancos this summer.

It comes after a recent report from Spain, which said Liverpool were ready to pay £77million for Valverde, an offer the La Liga giants would be ‘very hard to refuse’.

The report adds that Carlo Ancelotti’s side will ‘weigh the pros and cons’ of keeping Valverde, which could be used as a ‘sacrifice’ to fund a Kylian Mbappe deal.

Bayern make €70m bid for Kane

It turns out that Bayern Munich have made a €70m offer for Harry Kane. This promises to be an interesting transfer saga…

The Firmino affair is heading towards the final stage

Roberto Firmino’s deal to join Al-Ahli, a Saudi team, is entering its final stages, it is suggested.

The Liverpool forward will officially become a free agent at the end of the month and will likely have to weigh up a number of offers as he prepares to choose his next club.

Yesterday it seemed that Saudi Arabia could be his next destination and Fabrizio Romano declared that he had a ‘three-year contract’ on the table. He adds that the final details are being discussed before the “green light”. Statement by Kylian Mbappé

Liverpool are set to rival Real Madrid over the signing of Kylian Mbappe this summer, it is said.

The Reds have previously been hinted at as a possible destination for the PSG star, who has long been sought after by Madrid.

Mbappé is expected to become the world’s most expensive player if he leaves his current employers, with the Ligue 1 giants holding on for a significant fee.

A latest update on the French international has suggested Liverpool have not given up hope of a deal for Mbappé, as FIFA agent Marco Kirdemuir clarified.

Speaking to Radio Marca, Kirdemuir insisted Liverpool were “riding competition against Real Madrid” before adding that the 24-year-old could receive an offer of up to €300m (£257m). Gravenberch outlines Bayern’s plan

Ryan Gravenberch has admitted he still expects to be at Bayern Munich next season.

The Dutch midfielder is a target for Liverpool alongside Gabri Veiga and Khephren Thuram and could make a move this summer after a frustrating first season in Germany.

Speaking to Algemeen Dagblad, he clarified his future and said: “I guess I will be at Bayern Munich again next season.

“That’s really how I am. I’m at one of the top three clubs in the world.” I think it’s beautiful and special. I don’t give up like that. My goal remains to succeed at FC Bayern.

Nice want to keep Thuram

Williams set to leave Liverpool on loan

Rhys Williams is set to leave Liverpool on loan again this summer.

ECHO understands that several clubs are interested in the 22-year-old, but Aberdeen are currently leading the charge for his signature.

Liverpool have close ties with the Scottish Premiership club and were impressed with the ease with which they were dealt with when Calvin Ramsay’s transfer to Anfield was discussed last summer. Meanwhile, both clubs were pleased with the success of Leighton Clarkson’s loan move to the Dons last season.

Clarkson has since moved permanently to Aberdeen and Williams could now follow in his former teammate’s footsteps at Pittodrie.

June 27, 2023
After Man Utd was passed over, Liverpool received a massive £17 million transfer boost from the brilliant agreement.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

June 23, 2023
Jurgen Klopp has been given the go-ahead to bring in a second midfielder for Liverpool, and a date has been set.

Liverpool have already moved this summer to add Alexis Mac Allister to their midfield ranks.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been given the all-clear to make Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch his latest summer signing for the Reds, reportedly.

The Reds would like to improve their midfield ranks ahead of next season, after greenlighting the signing of Alexis Mac Allister, who recently joined giants Anfield from Brighton and Hove Albion

There’s a chance Liverpool could follow up on Mac Allister’s signing by bringing Gravenberch to Merseyside, as the Dutchman has failed to set the world on fire at Bayern Munich since moving from Ajax last summer.

According to The Mirror, he would already like to leave the Allianz Arena in search of a new challenge. Liverpool will be chasing a transfer to sign him in the coming weeks.

Liverpool’s interest in Gravenberch is said to be at an “advanced” stage, with club officials willing to back Klopp in his bid to sign the 21-year-old this summer.

However, the same player has already confirmed that his future will be decided only after the end of the Under 21 European Championships, which will end at the beginning of next month.

“I haven’t talked about it with the coach yet, he will arrive after the European Championship when I come back from Georgia and Romania, then we’ll see how he is,” he said. “I just want to play more, preferably at Bayern Munich and in any case at a club where I play 100%.

“I prefer it, because I don’t want to have another year like the one I’ve had now. A season like this is good, I’ve really learned a lot, but I just want to play football.”

Bayern Munich recently completed the signing of Konrad Laimer to push Gravenberch even further down the pecking order, while Thomas Tuchel is reportedly keen to add more quality to his midfield ranks between now and the start of next season.

However, it remains to be seen whether Liverpool can capitalize on the situation by bringing the Dutchman to Anfield before the start of the new season.

However, the possibility remains that Bayern Munich could try to keep Gravenberch for at least another season, with club president Herbert Hainer recently emphasizing his admiration for the former Ajax player despite his difficult first year in Germany.

“In my opinion, he’s an incredibly talented player,” Hainer told Bild. “That’s why we brought him in. Towards the end of the season he got more playing time. I’m sure he will get more playing time in the future.

Bayern Munich getting ready £44m bid to beat Liverpool to Juventus superstar

Bayern Munich are reportedly preparing a bid to sign Juventus winger Federico Chiesa, with Liverpool also eyeing the Italy international.

According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the Bavarian giants are ready to make a €50m (£44m) bid to bring the Serie A superstar to Germany, with Bayern hoping to beat teams like Liverpool to Chiesa while Juventus try now to sack the winger.

The Italian side’s financial situation means virtually every player is now on sale at the right price, including the likes of Chiesa, while Bayern seek to exploit Juventus’ woes by poaching one of their most valuable assets. more valuable.

Hailed by fans as an “unrelenting diamond”, Chiesa is heavily linked with a move to Liverpool this summer after returning from a year-long injury last season. However, despite strong rumors that the Reds could be interested, Bayern could now give them the win.

Indeed, Thomas Tuchel’s side are set to undergo a massive squad overhaul this summer after coming so close to winning the Bundesliga title last season.

And Chiesa could be an excellent signing for the Germans, although Liverpool may now be considering making a rival offer for the full-back.

Liverpool cannot allow Chiesa to switch to Bayern so easily

Chiesa is arguably one of the best wingers in the world when fully fit and in shape, and for Liverpool the Reds cannot get the striker to Bayern as easily as has been reported, with the Juventus striker being ideal for the Jurgen Klopp’s system.

While Liverpool are in no rush to expand their attacking ranks, a player as good as Chiesa shouldn’t escape the fingers of Anfield. Merseyside Giants this summer.
