Liverpool transfer news roundup – Tottenham match updates, Osimhen update, Kimmich ‘being considered’

Latest Liverpool Transfer News and Gossip: Updates on Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, Santiago Gimenez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk

Liverpool have been linked with a stunning move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

The Nigerian forward, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray, has faced uncertainty regarding his future after being dropped from Antonio Conte’s squad at Serie A. Both Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea have long been interested in Osimhen, though a transfer in the summer did not materialize.

Reports also indicate that Liverpool are monitoring Borussia Dortmund and England youth international Jamie Bynoe-Gittens. At the same time, German reports suggest Liverpool’s pursuit of Alphonso Davies may have encountered a setback, as the player is reportedly negotiating a contract extension with Bayern Munich.

In other news, speculation has arisen about a potential move for Darwin Nunez from a Saudi Pro League club. Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s name continues to be linked with a potential Liverpool takeover, following comments from his father that have fueled further speculation.

Ex-Liverpool Goalkeeper Linked with Move After Premier League Exit

Loris Karius could be on the verge of joining a new club for the first time since departing Newcastle United at the end of last season.

According to Sky Germany, Schalke are interested in signing the goalkeeper to replace Ron-Thorben Hoffmann, should Hoffmann move to Eintracht Braunschweig. Karius would provide backup as a replacement for Hoffmann on the bench for the 2. Bundesliga side, which is currently battling relegation to the 3. Liga.

Explosive Update on Bayern Munich’s Davies and Kimmich Contracts

Alphonso Davies finds himself in a situation similar to Trent Alexander-Arnold, with his contract at Bayern Munich expiring this summer.

Kicker reports that “Davies is in the Alexander-Arnold clamp,” though there may be some hope since Real Madrid is not prioritizing signing the Canadian international. Despite ongoing discussions over Davies’ future, as well as those of Jamal Musiala and Joshua Kimmich, little progress has been made in talks.

The situation behind the scenes at Bayern is expected to intensify in the coming month, with the club’s confidence in re-signing the trio reportedly diminishing since November and December.

Saudi Club Eyes Salah as Neymar Replacement

Al Hilal is reportedly considering Mohamed Salah as a potential replacement for Neymar this summer.

According to Spanish sports newspaper AS, Salah is the preferred option for the Saudi club should Neymar depart when his contract expires at the end of the season. The report notes that Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), has been trying for years to convince Salah to move to a club in the Kingdom.

Arne Slot Targets Feyenoord Winger as Salah Backup

Liverpool are said to be planning a move for Anis Hadj Moussa, with the club keeping a close eye on the Feyenoord winger this season.

Football Insider reports that Liverpool have identified the Algeria international as a potential backup for Mohamed Salah. Hadji, who was signed by Feyenoord from Belgian club Patro Eisden while Arne Slot was in charge, penned a five-year contract in April.

Liverpool Interested in Osimhen

Anfield Watch has revealed that Victor Osimhen is an unexpected but intriguing attacking target for Liverpool.

The report claims that Liverpool have long admired the Nigerian forward, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli. Osimhen has been under intense transfer scrutiny, with PSG and Chelsea also showing interest in him. His omission from Antonio Conte’s squad led to his move to Turkey.

Anfield Watch further noted: “Liverpool really admire Victor Osimhen and (Michael) Edwards and (Richard) Hughes both view him as the ideal replacement for Nunez.”

The Reds’ interest in Osimhen dates back several years, with Edwards being a long-time admirer of the Nigerian since his early days in European football in Belgium and then at Lille.

Liverpool transfer update: $93M Darwin Nunez replacement ‘targeted’ and Nico Williams boost revealed

Liverpool Transfer News: Potential Darwin Nunez Successor and Nico Williams Links for Summer

Liverpool faces an uphill task in the Carabao Cup semi-finals after going a goal down to Spurs in North London. Thankfully, concerns over Jarell Quansah’s injury proved to be unfounded, as it was revealed that his early departure was due to illness rather than a serious injury.

Although this withdrawal won’t cause the Reds to panic, transfer rumors are likely to persist. Many players have already been linked with interest from Arne Slot’s side.

Here’s the latest transfer roundup from Liverpool.com regarding the gossip surrounding the club. The two players mentioned are both exciting forwards who would be targeted for the summer rather than this month, and either would be significant acquisitions for whichever club manages to secure them.

Nico Williams (Athletic Club)

Spain international Nico Williams has reportedly accepted that a move to Barcelona is off the table, making a Premier League switch more likely, as reported by TBR Football. The 22-year-old, who rose to prominence during the European Championship, has been linked with Liverpool, but a move to Arsenal appears more probable due to Mikel Arteta’s need to strengthen his left side.

Barcelona, despite its ongoing admiration for Williams, is facing financial difficulties, as evidenced by its struggle to register Dani Olmo. If the Catalan club cannot resolve its financial woes, Olmo could potentially be available on a free transfer.

Liverpool.com adds: While the Reds have good options with Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz already playing on the left, a move for Williams seems unlikely, given his reported release clause of €58m (£48m/$60m) and the significant wages he would demand.

Victor Osimhen (Napoli, on loan at Galatasaray)

Liverpool is reportedly looking at Napoli forward Victor Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray, as a potential replacement for Darwin Nunez, according to Anfield Watch. Michael Edwards, FSG’s CEO of football, is said to be a long-term admirer of the 26-year-old Nigerian, who could be available in the summer.

Osimhen has been in stellar form, scoring 13 goals and providing five assists in just 16 appearances for Galatasaray so far. He has also netted 21 goals in 35 appearances for Nigeria and 65 goals in 108 games for Napoli, who signed him from Lille for a fee of around €90m (£75m/$93m).

Liverpool.com concludes: Osimhen is likely to secure a high-profile move in the summer, and Liverpool could be a logical destination if Nunez departs. However, for this to happen, another forward would need to leave to create space, or manager Arne Slot would face a dilemma with too many attacking options and not enough playing time to go around.

LFC transfer news LIVE: Maximillian Beier battle, Victor Osimhen setback, and Morten Frendrup interest

rumours involving Liverpool, including updates on Joao Neves, Gleison Bremer, and Anthony Gordon, on the ECHO’s live blog. Morten Frendrup is also apparently of interest to Liverpool.

The Reds are reportedly monitoring the Genoa midfield player this summer, although Aston Villa is reportedly after the player as well, according to reports from Italy.

According to reports, the Italian club has reportedly received an offer of £21 million for the former Denmark under-21 international.

In other news, Liverpool’s tenuous connections to Victor Osimhen, a standout for Napoli, may be ready to end. Talks are underway between Premier League rivals Chelsea and the Nigerian striker regarding an incredible loan transfer.

Osimhen might come on a temporary basis with a buyout option under a deal with the Serie A team, forcing Romelu Lukaku to leave.

According to the ECHO, Liverpool has lost out on bids from PSV Eindhoven and Marseille for Sepp van den Berg and Wataru Endo, respectively, during the past 48 hours.

“Liverpool came after him.”

Amanda Staveley, the former head of Newcastle, has acknowledged that she was afraid Liverpool would recruit Anthony Gordon before she left.

“I knew I was going to be leaving, but I owed it all to the fans and PIF,” Staveley stated to The Athletic. “It would have been problematic if I had departed before the PSR deadline and we had over it. Even though it was extremely challenging, I was committed to giving Newcastle’s CEO, Darren Eales, a clear path.

“Because Liverpool pursued him and both Alex Isak and Anthony Gordon are exceptional players, my biggest fear was that we would lose one of them. It’s difficult to negotiate when you have to seem like it means nothing but in reality it means everything.”

Liverpool lost interest

Dutch media claim that Joey Veerman, a midfielder for PSV Eindhoven, is not a target for Liverpool.

For the time being, Rik Elfrink has written off reports as “rumours.” The initial talk was that the Reds were interested in the Holland international.

Two Liverpool players are expected to depart

The Athletic reports that Billy Koumetio and Rhys Williams, two Liverpool defenders, are expected to go.

According to their report, during the preseason, the two have been training with the under-21 team instead of Slot’s senior group.

With 19 senior matches for the Reds under his belt, Williams is drawing interest from League One clubs as well as Turkey. Koumetio, who is twenty-one years old, is rumoured to have drawn suitors from France and Scotland.

Chelsea is first in line to sign Victor Osimhen

Victor Osimhen’s speculation-fueled time for Liverpool may be coming to an end.

According to The Athletic, Napoli and Chelsea are now in negotiations for Romelu Lukaku, and there is also talk about a possible deal for Osimhen.

It has been reported that Lukaku will make a permanent move, with the Nigerian signing a loan with a buyout option.

Liverpool is up against Chelsea and Aston Villa for a transfer-linked attacker.

Maximillian Beier has been linked to Liverpool in recent months, particularly yesterday after rumours from Italy surfaced.

But if their purported interest is tangible, competition exists—it always does! Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports reports that ‘concrete’ proposals have been made by Chelsea and Aston Villa.

It has been reported that the 21-year-old has a €30 million (£25 million) release clause, and a decision will be made in the next two weeks.

Two additional ‘big teams from abroad’ have reportedly been in touch, although Bayer Leverkusen is still in the running. It has been stated that no talks have begun with Hoffenheim.

Liverpool’s dream attack: FSG agrees record fee, Salah successor valued at £50 million, Klopp flop axed

This summer, Liverpool manager Arne Slot may restructure his offensive options in an attempt to assemble his ideal front three.

Even though Arne Slot hasn’t added any new players to Liverpool yet, Victor Osimhen of Napoli is the one target on his wish list.

Osimhen hasn’t found a new team this summer despite being linked to every big European club, largely because of the Partenopei’s enormous demands. It is said that Aurelio De Laurentiis, the owner of Napoli, is seeking a sum over £110 million in exchange for the 25-year-old; if Liverpool were to pay this kind of money, it would set a club record.

But with the American owners prepared to give Slot the money he needs to bolster the team following Jurgen Klopp’s exit, the days of being frugal under FSG are long gone.

Osimhen, who scored 15 goals in 25 Serie A games last season, would demonstrate that they mean business after Klopp’s tearful parting. The Dutchman has not made a signing since his arrival.

The Nigerian does not deny the allure of joining Liverpool. He was reportedly on the verge of signing a new deal in October 2023 when Liverpool intervened and gave him a sneak peek at the terms he may receive if he joined the Reds. Osimhen has since said unequivocally that he wishes to quit the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona

The fact that PSG and Napoli are still negotiating could be the only source of contention. But the French team has been slow to pay the outrageous amount for Osimhen, which has allowed Liverpool to move in unannounced.

The titans of Merseyside are not used to shelling out such high transfer fees, so they would probably have to sell to raise the money for Osimhen’s ideal transfer. This can entail putting £85 million flop Darwin Nunez up for sale, who hasn’t performed well since Klopp signed him in 2022.

Although the Uruguayan has been in outstanding form for his nation at the Copa America, his 20 goals in 65 Premier League games do not seem like good value. In contrast, despite playing one extra game, Erling Haaland has scored 43 more goals in that period.

The 25-year-old, who was known as a pure goalscorer when he joined from Benfica, was an ideal fit for the physically demanding Premier League because of his quickness and strength. Nunez has been utilised from the left flank or even as a stand-in for impact, but it hasn’t succeeded.

According to a May Corriere Dello Sport story, new manager Slot intended to sign Osimhen and cut Nunez. Whether he still feels that way after the preseason is over is unknown, but unless PSG express interest, Nunez may have trouble finding a buyer outside of Saudi Arabia.

And lastly, there’s Mohamed Salah’s embarrassing predicament. With one year remaining on his deal, the 31-year-old Egyptian seems certain to sign a free move away from Liverpool in the summer of 2025 unless he is sold this summer.

Liverpool will be preparing for that eventuality, and Slot could want to consult one of his players to see who the long-term Salah replacement should be. Wataru Endo, who is said to be in advanced talks with the club, has previously stated that he would support of any move for Takefusa Kubo, his teammate on the Japan national team.

According to a report published in the Japanese publication Sponichi, negotiations between Kubo’s representatives and Liverpool are reportedly in the “final stages,” and the Reds were ready to activate the winger’s £50 million release clause in order to sign him away from Real Sociedad.

Endo stoked rumours regarding Fubo’s possible arrival when he talked about which other Japanese player he would want to see at Anfield. Endo responded by saying, “Kubo.”

“The search for Mohamed Salah’s replacement has begun, so this is becoming a real area for Liverpool to strengthen,” the midfield player continued. I believe Kubo is a player that might step in for him on the national squad.

Real Madrid would view Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior as essential players, while Liverpool supporters would be daydreaming about either player. However, if Salah leaves, Fubo—a deft left-footed winger with a flair for creating and scoring goals—might be the ideal step-in replacement.

July 29, 2024
For the Arne Slot era, Liverpool think they’ve FOUND the ideal £111 million striker.

According to reports, Liverpool believes they may have identified the “right” striker to guide them ahead in the years following Jurgen Klopp exit.

It is said that Liverpool is looking for a new striker. They’ve been severely lacking in goalscoring consistency over the past few weeks, so they’re looking for a no. 9 who can lead the line.

At least, that’s what Corriere dello Sport claims. Liverpool is currently mentioned by the Italian publication as one of several teams vying to recruit Victor Osimhen from Napoli.

Osimhen is in high demand, of course. Chelsea and Manchester United have been strongly connected to him, while Paris Saint-Germain is also interested in him.

But Liverpool is suddenly included in the mix. According to the publication, Osimhen is the “right” striker to take over for Jurgen Klopp, presumably during the “Arne Slot era.”

Osimhen won’t be inexpensive, though. PSG is prepared to make a bid of about £85 million, and there is a release clause of about £111 million. Naturally, that falls far short of that clause, but it does imply that the bidding will get off to a high start.

It even implies that Napoli will receive the entire clause should another team enter the competition.

VICTOR OSIMHEN IS STILL UNDER THE RADAR OF LIVERPOOL

This one, perhaps, might make sense after all. Osimhen has been a regular scorer for many years; during Napoli’s Scudetto-winning season, he scored 26 goals. Despite their difficulties this year, he has scored 14 goals.

Notable is also the similarity in profile between Osimhen and Santiago Gimenez, Arne Slot’s primary goal scorer at Feyenoord.

They both average 68% pass completion, although neither plays many passes at all nor completes the ones they do play very frequently. Darwin Nunez, in contrast, plays a lot more passes than both of them and passes at a rate of about 70%.

Nunez does not, however, capitalise on his opportunities. He has the poorest rate in the Premier League, four goals below his xG. Gimenez and Osimhen are both perfectly aligned with theirs.

Osimhen may be the top striker Slot is pursuing if he wants to emulate the Feyenoord method. The question now is if Liverpool would actually spend the money.

More news……..

Going to be leaving soon There are just two teams interested in this Liverpool midfielder.

Thiago, a midfielder for Liverpool, currently only has two alternatives for the summer.

This is in line with a recent rumour from Fichajes, which states that two Italian teams are interested in the seasoned Spanish midfield player.

After sustaining a muscle injury in February, Thiago, 33, is expected to depart Liverpool when his contract expires at the end of the current campaign.

What’s next for Thiago after his trade to Liverpool?

And now that his future is uncertain, the 33-year-old playmaker is reportedly drawing interest from Juventus and Inter Milan, albeit his next move has not yet been determined.

Thiago has played in Spain with Barcelona and Germany with Bayern Munich, but he hasn’t played in Serie A, which is one reason a transfer to Italy would be appealing to him.

However, it wouldn’t be shocking if Liverpool’s soon-to-be-leaving number six ended up in the Middle East before hanging up his boots, with clubs in the affluent Pro League of Saudi Arabia scheduled for a massive £2 billion summer buying binge.

Thiago, who won the FA and Carabao Cup under Jurgen Klopp, has spent four years at Anfield and has contributed directly to nine goals in 98 games across all competitions.

How Victor Osimhen would line up for Liverpool under Arne Slot if Darwin Núñez were to be replaced

Arne Slot, the incoming manager of Liverpool, will take up a well-known Darwin Núñez query. Victor Osimhen is mentioned as a potential transfer market solution.

A talented Liverpool team is being left behind by Jürgen Klopp. However, Arne Slot would also inherit a tonne of questions if he is appointed as anticipated.

Over the past month or two, the number of those has increased somewhat as Liverpool’s title push and prospects for more hardware have crumbled. Although Klopp has made significant improvements to the team that was not eligible for the Champions League the previous season, issues still need to be resolved.

Slot, for example, will be taking over a club that has a history of failing to keep clean sheets. Though it has become more apparent in recent weeks, this has been a season-long pattern, with the comebacks that dotted the early stages of the campaign only being made feasible by a tendency to fall behind.

Darwin Núñez is the player on the opposite end of the pitch. Though, given his recent record, Slot might legitimately criticise any of the Liverpool forwards, the Uruguayan has come to represent the finishing issues that have finally wrecked Klopp’s final season in charge.

As his second season at Liverpool draws to a close, Núñez ought to have accomplished more by now. Admired by the Kop from the word “go” for his overall chaotic demeanour and propensity to create opportunities for himself, the belief was that in year two he would light up in front of goal, much like he did at Benfica.

Rather, a substantial amount of evidence currently suggests that Núñez is just not a good finisher. the must be compared to the incredible Benfica season that first spurred Liverpool to smash its transfer record, but it’s difficult to argue that the 24-year-old is merely experiencing a two-year run of bad luck.

With his ability to put himself in risky situations, Núñez would be a huge asset for any team striving for the championship, even if he could only return to ordinary finishing. Slot will have to choose how much of a patient person he is. However, Victor Osimhen’s entry into the market gives the conundrum an intriguing new angle.

Liverpool has reportedly joined the list of suitors for Osimhen, who wants to leave Napoli this summer, according to Corriere dello Sport. Arsenal, PSG, Chelsea, Manchester United, and others have reportedly expressed interest.

The Nigerian would represent a change from the traditional Liverpool recruitment process and would not come cheap in terms of salaries or transfer fees. However, at 25, Osimhen is about to enter his prime years and is practically the opposite of Núñez in that he has a long history of meeting or beyond his expectations.

Given their common tendency to find themselves in advantageous circumstances, Osimhen might potentially improve Liverpool right away, even if it means making a harsh decision to substitute Núñez. And the player himself would undoubtedly take a look at a pitch from Anfield; according to Gazzetta dello Sport, he prefers the Premier League, and neither Chelsea nor Manchester United can give Champions League football.

If Slot managed this fictitious coup, how might he line up? Osimhen would undoubtedly deserve a spot through the middle upon his arrival, but there’s really not much he could do with the Liverpool starting lineup.

Who should play either side of him would then be the question. Under the tutelage of his compatriot, Cody Gakpo has a chance to flourish in his natural left-wing spot. Being one of Liverpool’s younger alternatives, he possesses the quickness and explosiveness that Slot prefers in his wingers. Under Klopp, he hasn’t always demonstrated that in different roles, but his PSV days serve as a clear blueprint.

Mohamed Salah is undoubtedly the starting point for Slot on the right, especially in light of the recent announcement that he will remain. Similar to Klopp, he might eventually feel obliged to bench him for specific games, which is a conflict he will have to deal with. However, the general consensus is that the Egyptian owns the right wing.

Luis Díaz and Diogo Jota are excellent bench possibilities. Given the energy he requires, Slot has frequently switched out his wingers after around an hour in the Eredivisie, so having these highly successful backups available would be beneficial. In principle, Núñez himself might play the same role, but it’s unlikely that he would stay if Osimhen showed up.

Núñez has ultimately demonstrated the ability to match or even surpass Osimhen, so Slot and the transfer group will probably be able to maintain their composure with him. However, should the switch go through, the possible attack appears lethal, which is something we haven’t been able to say about Liverpool in recent times.

Big-money talent is predicted to replace Mohamed Salah at Liverpool: “He would be fantastic”

A former Red believes Victor Osimhen of Napoli would be the ideal substitute for Mohamed Salah, who Liverpool would eventually need to replace.

The legendary Steve Nicol of Liverpool was asked who could replace Mohamed Salah and said Victor Osimhen would be a “fantastic” acquisition.

Since arriving at Anfield in 2017, the Egyptian has been the team’s star player, but it is expected that he would soon move on, especially with the departure of Jurgen Klopp. Saudi Arabian suitors are anticipated to reappear after Liverpool repelled their interest in the summer.

Salah’s departure would create a huge void. Every season since he moved to Merseyside, the forward has led the team in goals scored, and Nicol is sure that if Liverpool signs a new player, they need to replace him with a prolific striker.

The fact that Salah will be leaving, this year or next, Osimhen? he stated on ESPN FC. He would be great for Liverpool, in my opinion. We recently signed Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister in the middle of the park. Endo has been amazing, but you need someone who can run all day and pass it to Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, and Salah.”

Darwin Nunez would have to play a larger role if Osimhen, who has helped Napoli win Serie A, was acquired, according to Nicol’s other assertion. The former Benfica player has displayed flashes of brilliance, but his finishing has drawn criticism. In contrast, Osimhen has proven to be a merciless goal scorer.

The Nigerian, who joined Napoli from Lille a few seasons ago, has acknowledged that a move to the English premier league is eventually on his radar. He has been strongly linked to Chelsea.

“Of course one day, definitely, but for now, I have other plans in my career that I am looking forward to,” he had previously stated to Sky Sports this year. Thus, everyone is aware when the moment arrives.”

“I am happy with the president,” he continued. We get along well, me and him. I’m not going to lie. He has been a part of my life since I joined the team in 2020. I am in excellent terms with his family as well, and no matter what has happened, I always want to make sure that we are in good terms and that nothing is wrong.”

Last season, the 25-year-old had the finest season of his career and broke the 30-goal mark. Osimhen is anticipated to eventually look for other pastures because Napoli has demonstrated that they are willing to part with their top players for the appropriate price.

Liverpool FC news recap: £113 million for Salah replacement, £52 million for Kop flop suspended, and Alisson on the move

Mo Salah’s ideal replacement might cost Liverpool a cool £113 million, should the Egyptian sensation decide to leave Anfield.

Arriving director of football Richard Hughes is reportedly wants to hold onto star players like Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Mohamed Salah as their contracts come to an end.

But rumours about the Egyptian forward—who was crucial to Liverpool’s recent success—continue, particularly in light of the Saudi Pro League’s interest. Salah stayed last summer even though a whooping £150 million deal was on the table. However, given Klopp’s imminent exit, Saudi interest might potentially materialise again.

When asked who should replace the standout forward, former Liverpool right-back Steve Nicol immediately suggested Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, who is presently playing for Napoli. Nicol is of the belief that it will.

WERDER BREMEN SUSPENDS KOP FLOP NABY KEITA

£52 million Liverpool fiasco After failing to show up for practice over the weekend, Naby Keita’s club, Werder Bremen, suspended him till the end of the season and fined him heavily.

The 29-year-old midfielder allegedly told the club he wouldn’t be starting in the Bundesliga match against champions Bayer Leverkusen, therefore he declined to go with the team.

In a match that saw Werder lose 5-0 and Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen win the Bundesliga for the first time ever, Keita’s decision to sit among the replacements caused major problems in Bremen.

The Guinea captain has not only been fined and banned from the training area, but he is also not allowed to use the first team facilities of the club.

ALISSON IS GOING AS THE £4.75 MILLION MANSION IS FOR SALE

DISCLOSURE OF CONOR BRADLEY’S INJURY DAMAGE

Conor Bradley hurt himself against Crystal Palace on Sunday, and he could be sidelined for three weeks.

The 20-year-old right-back was hurt on his ankle after a collision with Eberechi Eze of Palace shortly after the second half began, in Liverpool’s 1-0 Premier League defeat.

After Bradley hobbled off, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp consoled him. Trent Alexander-Arnold, who had returned, took Bradley’s place.

PALACE DEFEAT: LIVERPOOL STAR TOLD TO LEAVE REDS

For the sake of his career, one Liverpool player has now been advised to leave the team following Sunday’s humiliating 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace.

Former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Kasey Keller believes that Alisson’s prompt return to the starting eleven after his injury should allay any remaining doubts the Irishman had about leaving, even though second-choice goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has long been linked with a move elsewhere this summer.

In reference to the function of backup goalies on ESPN FC, Keller said that Kelleher’s exit might be best for all parties.

After declining a £120 million transfer bid, Victor Osimhen makes Premier League admission amid Liverpool links

The Napoli striker has been linked to Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool.
linked to Liverpool Victor Osimhen has downplayed reports that he has a preferred Premier League team.

Osimhen scored 31 goals in 36 games to help Napoli win the Serie A championship the previous season. He has six bags in his ten outings this campaign thus far.

According to reports, the striker’s contract negotiations with Napoli have come to a standstill. Al-Hilal, a Saudi Pro League team, made a huge money offer for him during the summer transfer window, but he turned it down.

Many English teams, including Liverpool, have been connected to a move for Osimhen. The Nigerian international was recently featured on The Obi One Podcast, hosted by former Chelsea midfielder Jon Obi Mikel. He acknowledges that he owns shirts from both Manchester United and the west London team, but he does not have a favourite.

“I don’t have a favourite Premier League team, but I do have two shirts: Manchester United and Chelsea,” he remarked. My buddies are divided between Chelsea and Manchester United. For African players, the Premier League is the most popular league; it’s a fantastic league.

Rejecting Al-Hilal, he declared, “What was said is true.” To be honest, I never considered leaving Napoli during the summer because they wanted to keep me, but when the enormous offer from Saudi Arabia arrived, it was difficult to turn it down. I chose to stay after speaking with Napoli.

It was absurd. They boosted the money offer the more times I answered no. They never gave up, and it would have altered my life. I replied, “No, guys, I’m staying,” though. Of course. I had discussions in August, and I had to make a big choice. Napoli and I decided to decline when I spoke with them.

“I tried to avoid giving the impression that I wanted to go. I made the right choice in terms of my job. There is so much more to playing football than just doing it for money.

More news…….

About Mo Salah’s future at Liverpool, David Ornstein discusses what he has been hearing thus far.

At this point, Mohamed Salah might be considering staying at Liverpool past the end of the current campaign.

Al Ittihad of Saudi Arabia showed a lot of interest in Salah throughout the summer, and Liverpool turned down a huge offer for their number eleven.

Since then, it’s been widely believed that the Saudis will make Mo a second offer in January or early next year. Many Reds supporters may have already come to terms with the possibility that this is Salah’s final season at Anfield.

However, journalist David Ornstein now suggests that could not be the case after all. In a Q&A session with The Athletic, Ornstein was questioned whether the future of the Egyptian superstar had received “any noise.” Liverpool supporters will find encouragement in his response.

The journalist answered, “No, other than I don’t think it’s set in stone he goes.”

“I’ve even heard some comments that he would want to stay and carry on competing in Europe at the top level. Of course, it’s a big decision for the player and the team.

Liverpool gave Salah motivation.

The Saudi interest that surfaced during the summer, which was naturally turned down, was in some respects a good thing.

It helped Liverpool fans prepare for the possibility that, in a year, their Egyptian King may actually leave the team. That has been the general sentiment among supporters.

However, given that the Saudis frequently perform for audiences of fewer than 1,000, maybe the situation has changed.

Nobody knew for sure how the Pro League initiative would turn out back in the summer. Many well-known players were moving to the Middle East, raising hopes that the league would soon be on par with its European rivals.

That may still be the case in the future, but it hasn’t materialised as of yet. It appears more and more like it will follow in the unfortunate footsteps of the Chinese Super League with each passing week. Is anyone really bothered outside of the transfer window?

You can see why Mo might have been tempted by an offer a year ago. Now, though, there ought to be a legitimate doubt. It will appear as though he is conceding that his career is failing by moving from the Premier League to the Pro League.

Salah might still be content to take that step, but we believe his fierce competitiveness might be about to turn the tide. He is thirty-one years old.

Hopefully, Liverpool’s return to form and a few trophies this season will satiate his desire and convince him to stay. It seems as though things are about to change. Mo may finally have his “Wolf of Wall Street” moment.

The ‘demands’ made by Victor Osimhen in the Napoli contract impasse have Liverpool on high alert.

The ‘demands’ made by Victor Osimhen in the Napoli contract impasse have Liverpool on high alert.

Negotiations for a new contract for Victor Osimhen, whose Napoli contract is set to expire in 2025, have halted amid transfer interest from Premier League teams Liverpool and Chelsea.

Talks between Liverpool and Chelsea’s Victor Osimhen over the contract situation between the player and Napoli president Aurelio De Laurenti have reportedly been “difficult”.

Osimhen’s current contract expires in 2025 and he has been heavily linked with a move after scoring 26 goals in 32 games last season to lead Napoli to their first Serie A title since 1990.
Liverpool sent a scout to watch Osimhen in action during the recent international break and Mirror Football understands Chelsea are also interested in signing the 24-year-old.
Contract renewal talks with Napoli have reached an impasse, according to Calcio Mercato.

The report states that there is “huge friction” between Osimhen and De Laurentiis, with a huge difference in their salaries. Osimhen wants to double his salary from 4.5 million euros to 9 million euros.

There is also disagreement over whether to include a release clause. De Laurentiis wants to set it at 200 million euros, while Osimhen wants a “lighter, cheaper” tax. The report claims that both Liverpool and Chelsea are waiting in the wings.

United made a “decisive move” and made “several direct contacts”, while Chelsea first expressed an interest in the Nigeria international last summer.

De Laurentiis recently spoke about the ongoing negotiations with Osimhen and admitted that the striker could be sold if he does not sign a new contract.

“I stayed the same, and if he changed his mind, I couldn’t do much.
It might be disappointing if something changes after the handshake, we’ll consider it, but life goes on.

“There is time, as the contract is good until 2025, and we get along well with him. Remember that I abruptly sold [Kalidou] Koulibaly to Chelsea.”

To try to sign Osimhen, Liverpool and Chelsea may have to wait until the end of the season, as Napoli’s sporting director, Mauro Meluso, has insisted the team will not trade any of its best players during the January transfer window.

When asked about the possibility of players leaving in January, Meluso responded, “Absolutely not, the squad is very large and leaves us calm,” as reported by Football Italia on Sport Mediaset. “We will talk about these issues later; everything can be made better. We will undoubtedly meet to discuss whether and how to step in.”

“It was interesting to speak to Jurgen Klopp in the pre-match press conference.
