The Reds have reportedly ‘pressed’ for a midfielder who stood out last season, while another Liverpool departure has been confirmed this summer.

Adding to Aberdeen is Leighton Clarkson.

In a move that would have made sense for both parties, Leighton Clarkson has officially left Liverpool and completed a permanent transfer to Aberdeen.

After spending the 2022–23 Scottish Premiership season on loan with the team, Clarkson makes the switch. He assisted them in finishing third behind Celtic and Rangers, the team’s usual title challengers.

The 21-year-old made 38 appearances, made eight assists on top of his six goals in all competitions, and contributed more than any other player outside of the top two teams with his 38 appearances.

The ECHO reported that the Dons beat out other interested clubs to sign Clarkson, whose performance earned him the title of Aberdeen’s Young Player of the Year. The Dons were obviously eager to keep Clarkson on staff.

Clarkson joined the Liverpool academy when he was six years old and was a member of the squad that won the FA Youth Cup in 2019.

In 2019, he would go on to play his first game for the first team against Aston Villa in the League Cup, but it was the right time for him to move on, and he has now joined a team that will compete in the Europa League (or at the very least, the play-offs) next season.

The midfielder, who impressed in his first Premier League season under Marco Silva, has previously been linked to the Reds. The 27-year-old allegedly had his eye on moving to Anfield, according to a report in The Daily Mail earlier this year.

Additionally, Liverpool and Manchester United reportedly considered signing Palhinha, but Fulham is unwilling to part with him just a year after making the purchase, according to Spanish outlet Sport (via Paisley Gates).

In addition, Bayern Munich has been linked to the midfielder. Fulham is reportedly asking for $55 million (£43 million/€50 million) to release the player, which would seem to be a reasonable asking price for any interested parties.

Khephren Thuram, a midfielder for Nice, is still being linked to a move to Liverpool. The most recent tidbits of information about the Frenchman’s alleged summer transfer to Anfield are available from Express Sport.

Liverpool has focused this summer’s acquisitions on the midfield.

There is now room in the squad thanks to the departures of James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita.

While Fabinho will turn 40 later this year, Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara are both approaching their 30th birthdays. Alexis Mac Allister was already acquired by Liverpool from Brighton for a starting sum of £35 million.

They continue to pursue a deal for Thuram, who is valued at £50 million, though. A collection of the most recent transfer rumors is provided to you by Express Sport.

Reds answer, “Deal agreed.”.

According to reports, Thuram and the club have reached a personal agreement. Senior Reds sources are quoted by The Athletic as saying that the rumors have no merit.

The player’s representatives and Nice have spoken with Liverpool. On a potential contract for the 24-year-old, though, no agreement has yet been reached.

Demand from Konate.

Liverpool has been urged by Ibrahima Konate to complete a Thuram acquisition. The defender, who is currently on French international duty, acknowledged that it would be fantastic to see his countryman appear on Merseyside ahead of the upcoming season.

“I would be very happy for [Thuram] to come to Liverpool,” Konate said to RMC Sport. “I would take him under my wing and I would do everything for him to progress and become the player he wants to become.”.

“Khephren is like my little brother; I grew up around him.”. In the training facility, I was with his older brother, but I watched him develop.

“I observed him perform and advance to a level. It was amazing. even when he made his debut for the France squad. At the training, I first encountered him, and I was astonished by both his size and technical ease. “.

According to the released fixtures, Mohamed Salah will miss Liverpool’s matches against Chelsea and Arsenal.

Following Egypt’s qualification this week, Mohamed Salah will miss four Premier League games for Liverpool during the upcoming season due to his participation in the African Cup of Nations.

After the fixtures for the 2023–24 Premier League season were made public, Liverpool learned of their schedule for the year.

The Reds’ 2018-19 campaign begins with a challenging trip to Mauricio Pochettino’s revamped Chelsea, followed by a Saturday, August 19 home match against Bournemouth. The final August game is a challenging away contest against Newcastle.

However, Jurgen Klopp’s team’s toughest stretch of the season seems to start around the Christmas season, starting in mid-December with games against top-four rivals Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle in a busy schedule. Their series of games will probably come to define their campaign.

The Reds will hope to have nearly their full roster for that stretch of games, but they are also prepared to lose star forward Mohamed Salah the month after that. At the African Cup of Nations, the Egypt will be represented by the Egyptian.

The competition will take place in Ivory Coast from January 13 through February 11, and, barring Egypt’s early elimination, Salah is likely to be unavailable for club selection for up to a month, which will be a blow to Klopp’s team.

Salah played a part in his country’s 2-1 victory over Guinea on Wednesday, ensuring Egypt’s qualification for the competition. With Malawi and Ethiopia failing to advance from the four-team group, it guarantees Egypt will finish first in their group.

Accordingly, Salah will be unavailable for Liverpool’s upcoming four Premier League games, both halves of the EFL Cup semifinal, if the Reds advance that far, and the FA Cup’s first round matches, all of which fall during this time.

Prior to missing two of the Reds’ most important games of the season, at home against Chelsea and away against Arsenal, the 31-year-old will miss the Reds’ away match against Bournemouth, the first Premier League game of the 2024 calendar year, where they lost 1-0 and Salah missed his penalty.

The three-game stretch produced just one point for Klopp’s team during the previous campaign, and Salah is also scheduled to miss the match against Burnley at Anfield in early February should Egypt advance to the next round of the African Cup of Nations.

Despite the team’s unsuccessful season, Salah is still Liverpool’s star player and scored 30 goals last year. The Egyptian scored 19 goals in the Premier League and started all but one of Klopp’s team’s league games.
