Transfer rumors from Liverpool as Reds’submit’ $64 million proposal against new challenger in Nicol Barella’s race
Share
Liverpool transfer news: The Reds have made a sizable offer for a player they’ve wanted for a while, and the frequently linked Nicolo Barella is now desired by other teams as well.
The first signing Liverpool made this summer has already been finalized, but the next few months are expected to be extremely busy.
Just over a week after the Reds’ campaign came to an end, they welcomed their first new player into the fold when the club officially announced Alexis Mac Allister’s signing.
The Argentine’s fee has not been disclosed by either party, but Fabrizio Romano of some reports claims it could be as little as $44 million (£35 million/€41 million), which would make it the summer’s best deal.
However, with new sporting director Jörg Schmadtke having a lot of work to do after what has been a disappointing season on all fronts, Liverpool will need more players to join Mac Allister in making the move to Anfield.
With so many midfielders currently being linked to Liverpool, he has no shortage of names to choose from. Fans will recognize one of those right away, and another will be present for Saturday’s Champions League final.
The Real Madrid player Aurélien Tchouaméni.
According to reports in Spain, Liverpool has had a $64 million (£52 million/€60 million) offer for Aurélien Tchouaméni rejected.
The French international was obviously passed over by the Reds last summer because Tchouaméni opted to transfer from Monaco to Real Madrid. His first season, however, hasn’t quite gone as planned; he’s been in and out of Carlo Ancelotti’s team, which has sparked rumors that he might be moving on once more.
In an effort to complement Alexis Mac Allister’s arrival, Liverpool reportedly submitted its bid, according to Defensa Central. However, Real Madrid is adamant that Tchouaméni is not for sale and views him as “untouchable.”.
Even though Tchouaméni’s first season at the Bernabéu did not go exactly as he had hoped, Liverpool . com notes that another attempt to sign him always seemed unlikely. If the Reds actually made a bid, it was probably done to see if Real Madrid was interested in selling, so it’s more likely that they were just testing the waters.
Although the Spanish giant isn’t known for having patience, Tchouaméni has plenty of time on his side and, with Toni Kroos and Luka Modri both nearing the end of their respective careers, even if he’s having trouble making an impact right now, the 23-year-old will undoubtedly play a role in the future.
Nicolo Barella (Inter Milan).
According to reports, Newcastle and Liverpool will compete to sign Nicol Barella this summer.
Given that Liverpool is looking for new midfielders and that Barella recently made an impression with Inter Milan and the Italian national team, he is expected to be a hot commodity. He might be the perfect addition to Jürgen Klopp’s squad.
However, the 26-year-old’s signing by the Reds would face competition. Newcastle is interested in signing Barella as well, according to Sportmediaset via FCInternews.com, and Inter may be considering selling him to help with their financial issues.
Barella would undoubtedly be a welcome addition for Liverpool, but if Inter finds itself in a situation where it must sell, that will only increase competition, and if there is one team you don’t want to be in a bidding war with, it’s Newcastle.
The Magpies now have access to practically unlimited funds, not to mention Champions League football to help them entice some bigger signings. Liverpool may have to rely on Klopp and the club’s allure to entice Barella to Merseyside.
