Transfer news LIVE: Liverpool face £215m offer for Mo Salah, contract talks with Mbappé, Lingard set for Premier League return

LIVERPOOL have been awarded a whopping £215million for winger Mohammed Salah, SunSport can EXCLUSIVELY reveal.

Al-Ittihad made the tempting offer just hours after the Reds turned down £150m, and the Saudi Pro League window is still open until Thursday.

Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappé will reportedly not sign a new contract with PSG.

Elsewhere, Premier League clubs Wolves and West Ham are keen to sign free agent Jesse Lingard.

Liverpool tried to negotiate an exchange with Nunez

Reports say Liverpool are willing to include Darwin Nunez in a swap for Joao Felix.
The Reds were one of the clubs associated with Felix before he left Atletico Madrid for Barcelona on loan this summer.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Liverpool would even be willing to offer Nunez to Atletico Madrid to sign the Portuguese attacking midfielder.

However, Felix instead turned down a return to England and also turned down offers from Manchester United and Aston Villa to stay in Spain.

Chelsea want a new contract for the youngster

Chelsea reportedly want full-back Ian Maatsen to sign a new long-term deal.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues want to clarify the future of the 21-year-old.
Maatsen’s contract expires next summer and Chelsea will try to sell him if a new contract cannot be found.

Burnley had accepted a £31.5m offer on deadline day before the player rejected the move.

The Danish star turned down Liverpool

Jesper Lindstrom has revealed he turned down a £25million move to Liverpool this summer.

The Danish full-back instead chose to join Napoli from Frankfurt, hoping to gain more ground.

“After all, there were Liverpool, but would I have time to play?” Lindstrom told Tipsbladet.
Would it be smart to go to Liverpool?

“I’m a Liverpool fan, it’s everywhere, so it can also be an incredibly beautiful experience.

‘But if I don’t play, I might as well watch them on TV for another club.
Now I’m at an age where I have to play a little football.’

Palhinha ‘admired’ by United

Manchester United could make a move for Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha in January.
According to The Athletic, the Portuguese international has admirers at Old Trafford.

Palhinha was reportedly close to joining Bayern Munich at the deadline before the failed transfer.

The German giants remain interested in a move but could now face competition from the Red Devils.

West Ham’s Lingard move HIJACKED by Premier League rivals

It has been claimed that the Hammer’s plans to re-sign Jesse Lingard could be dashed by a Premier League rival.

Lingard has been training with the East Londoners for the past few weeks to keep fit while trying to find a new club.

It has been claimed that Hammers boss David Moyes is considering adding the free agent to his roster to further bolster his attacking abilities for the long season ahead.

However, the Scot would face competition for his services.

That’s according to data from Sky Sports, who claim Wolves are also spying on the former Manchester United man.

It is claimed that last season’s relegation struggler could be aiming for a move for the England international in ‘the next few days’.

Chelsea had Sancho in their sights

Chelsea were interested in signing Manchester United star Jadon Sancho last summer.
That was before Sancho on Sunday dismissed United manager Erik ten Hag’s claims about his recent training performances on social media.

According to the Daily Mail, the winger faced a surprise move to the Blues at the start of the recent summer transfer window.

However, the report claims the west Londoners pulled the plug because they were “concerned about his attitude” and opted for Manchester City’s Cole Palmer instead.

It was rumored that the England international would leave this summer but only a few countries, like Saudi Arabia and Turkey, have left transfer windows open.

Contract negotiations with Kylian Mbappé

Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe will not sign a new contract with the club.
It looked like Mbappé would spend this season on the sidelines after refusing to renew his contract in the summer and PSG manager Luis Enrique kicking him out of pre-season.

However, the striker has been reinstated in the squad after softening his stance on the ongoing saga.

According to L’Equipe, the France international’s return follows an agreement to waive an £85.5m loyalty bonus due to him this summer, rather than a renewal commitment.

The 24-year-old was heavily linked with Real Madrid during his time at Parc des Princes and is expected to sign for them on a free transfer next year.

Sale of the century

Liverpool have been offered a whopping £215m for Mohamed Salah, according to SunSport’s Steve Brenner.
Al-Ittihad officials traveled to London on Monday in a last-ditch effort to land Salah before their transfer window closes on Thursday.

The Saudi giants are desperate for the striker and have followed up a whopping £170m offer with a deal that will reach £215m with hammer prices.

SunSport understands the Egypt international has been offered a staggering £2.45m-a-week to leave Anfield with added incentives.

The 31-year-old has been tempted by a high percentage of shirt sales, a £55,000 prize money and ambassadorial roles for at least three major Saudi companies over the course of his contract.

It could be worth an extra £18m if each company is willing to pay the former Roma star £6m each.
