“Very enthusiastic about the deal” – The Bundesliga star wants to follow Endo to Liverpool

Liverpool have received support to replace Ryan Gravenberch in the time remaining in the summer transfer window.

It is now clear from the Dutchman that playing opportunities will be limited in Bavaria, despite initial awareness that the player was keen to prove his worth in Germany’s top flight.

“I think something will happen between Gravenberch and Liverpool; they will go for him as it is clear he will not have the best chance under Tuchel for minutes,” Christian Falk wrote in his exclusive column with CaughtOffside.

“He is also very excited about the deal and now, after Caicedo’s move didn’t work out, he has a great opportunity.

“Gladbach wants money for Kone, so there are interesting opportunities for Liverpool.”

This could follow the Reds’ pursuit of Stuttgart’s Wataru Endo, with a deal that would take the Japanese international to Anfield believed to be close to finalisation. However, there is still an urgent need for Jurgen Klopp’s men to secure the signing of a genuine young No6 to fill the void following Fabinho’s departure.

Crystal Palace’s Cheick Doucoure is a name that won’t be going away for the foreseeable future, although it’s entirely possible that Gravenberch will take another step towards strengthening the midfield department in the right way.

However, that’s a tough question to answer. Especially if the signing of a tenacious midfielder brings Liverpool £60-70million.

‘HE DOESN’T WANT TO PLAY THERE’: LIVERPOOL informed £35M STAR DOESN’T WANT TO PLAY DEFENSIVE MIDFIELD

Darren Bent says Alexis Mac Allister “doesn’t want to fill” the role of defensive midfielder for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.

When Liverpool drew 1-1 with Chelsea on Sunday, the away team played the most attacking midfield they have fielded in a long time.

Both summer signings Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have started, with Bent sharing that, of either team, it’s the Reds who “can do the most with a defensive midfielder,” he told Premier League Productions (14/ 08/23 at 14.05 o’clock).

His name was now Fabinho, but unexpectedly Saudi Arabia’s ever-expanding Pro League knocked on his door and he walked away.

And although the Brazilian international’s form fell off a cliff last season, it has left a hole in the middle of the park. Mac Allister, who has been signed for £35m (Guardian), has the aggression, ball-winning ability and energy to play that deeper role, but like Brighton he needs Moises Caicedo at his side , but is now at Chelsea after snubbing Liverpool.

“This seems to be the trendy part of camp now,” Bent said. “If you look at Caicedo. 100 million pounds, he’s crazy.

“If you watch the match (Chelsea v Liverpool). Both teams could use a defensive midfielder. Maybe Liverpool because I don’t think Alexis Mac Allister wants to play there.”

He’s not happy, says a BBC pundit, so the £35 million Liverpool player may leave now

Even though Mohamed Salah didn’t score for Liverpool this past weekend, he still grabbed the majority of the attention following Liverpool’s draw with Chelsea.

When Jurgen Klopp replaced Salah at Stamford Bridge, the Egyptian player did not do a good job of concealing his rage, and it appeared that things between Salah and his coach were not going well.

After the game, as usual, this entire incident was dissected and discussed to the nth degree. Now, speaking on the BBC Radio Five Live Football Daily Podcast, Nigel Reo-Coker has suggested that Salah might leave for Saudi Arabia as a result of this incident.

Salah could go

Reo-Coker spoke with Adam Crafton of The Athletic about the £35 million player.

“I don’t think this is something that goes beyond this game. Crafton questioned, “You have a little strop and then move on, no?”.

“No, Adam, not unless he receives a call from the Saudi Pro League; you never know. He might receive another call right now because of his reaction to that. Never rule anything out when it comes to footballers, Reo-Coker advised.

Don’t be ridiculous

This suggestion is completely absurd, so Reo-Coker must have made these remarks with his tongue firmly in cheek.

Salah is a pillar of Liverpool and one of Klopp’s most dependable players; he won’t desert the club over one substitution.

Salah may be a little irritated, but he won’t leave the club he loves so much because of such a minor incident.

After rejoining the team the following week, Salah will soon be scoring goals once more.
