Gary Lineker says ‘superstar’ who’s exploring Liverpool move is better than Jude Bellingham

Gary Lineker says ‘superstar’ who’s exploring Liverpool move is better than Jude Bellingham

Kylian Mbappe’s future is the talk of the town at the moment.

The French attacker is reportedly set to leave PSG at the end of the season, and while a move to Real Madrid feels almost inevitable, there are some whsipers that a Premier League move could be on the cards.

Gary Lineker calls Kylian Mbappe the best player in the world
The pundit shared his verdict on the forward.

“Kylian Mbappe is a genuine superstar. He is extraordinary. If you are talking about the best players in the world, Bellingham and Vinicius Jr, but I think Mbappe is probably number one at the minute,” Lineker said.

Incredible
Lineker says that Mbappe is the best player in the world, and he’s not too far wrong.

Yes, he’s only ever played in France, but his performances at the Champions League level and at the World Cup show that he’s among the very best of the best.

Mbappe would be a statement addition not only to a team like Liverpool but to the Premier League as a whole, and no matter who you support, you have to admit it would be great to see Mbappe playing in England.

Jamie Carragher shares what Michael Edwards told him about Liverpool transfers which shocked him

Liverpool are still yet to truly replace the fabled Michael Edwards as sporting director.

Edwards spent over a decade at the club, leaving in 2022, and was widely regarded as the mastermind behind some of Liverpool’s best transfers of recent times. Two years on from his departure, the Reds are once again searching for a new man to fill his role.

During his time at the helm, Edwards barely seemed to miss for Liverpool in the transfer market. So, as a result, Reds legend Jamie Carragher told the Stick To Football podcast that he once went to meet the analyst to see what all the fuss was about.

“People talk about Liverpool’s recruitment and Michael Edwards is always famed for what he did alongside Jurgen Klopp and people at the club,” Carragher says. “So I went to see him once, because I wanted a bit more information, it wasn’t for me to come out and speak but this is years later. I was expecting some real big insight into how many scouts they have, how they watch them, how they see different things.

“He just said the biggest thing for us about getting the players we want is relationships with agents. I was expecting more than that! But he was just saying it’s massive basically.

“You see about agent fees every year, and I’m not saying it’s just about the money, but he was talking about having good relationships with their agents.”

Edwards reveals Reds secrets
This is a really interesting insight from Carragher, as the Liverpool legend often provides.

It is a little surprising to hear that Edwards credits a lot of his successes at Anfield down to relationships with agents. It did always feel as though there was much more to it than that. But maybe it shouldn’t be such a shock – Carra has actually mentioned this point before.

MORE LIVERPOOL STORIES
Of course, that doesn’t mean Liverpool’s recruitment was one-paced. They also employed an advanced data collecting model to seek who would fit into Jurgen Klopp’s system the best.

Edwards was one of the very first on the scene where analytics in football are concerned and you could see that in the Reds’ recruitment over the years.

But you can’t simply rely on data analysis alone to bring in the players that you need. As in any business, relationships are always going to be key.

In this day and age where agents are so influential to players, it makes sense to get on the right side of them.

If an agent is advising their client on where to sign and they have a good relationship with one club and a poor or indifferent relationship with the other, where do you think he or she will suggest to join?

Often, that can be the difference between a player signing and not signing. When you’ve gathered all the hard data and narrowed down your scouting, why would you let a thing like that stop you from getting things over the line. This is just smart work from a smart man. How we miss Edwards.

Liverpool’s hopes of landing Ange Postecoglou as a potential Jurgen Klopp successor appear quite slim.

Football Insider reports that the Australian is quite comfortable in his role as Tottenham’s head coach. Likewise, Spurs ‘would not entertain any big-money compensation’ for the 56-year-old.

The former Celtic head coach has guided the club to fourth in the Premier League table thus far, earning praise from his Anfield counterpart.

“Spurs doing well, Ange seems a top bloke, looking forward to meeting him. I think [fans] were all desperate for offensive football, he’s doing it,” the 56-year-old spoke ahead of their first meeting in the league (yahoo!news).

“Everyone knew when they saw Celtic play in recent years, what kind of coach he is.

“Tottenham fans were all desperate for offensive football and in a year when Harry Kane has left, he has done extremely well and it will be a real test for both of us.”

Where on the shortlist?
There’s no question that Postecoglou may be a little underrated as a manager, with many questioning his initial appointment at Tottenham.

The newfound belief in the fanbase and the attractive style of football (without compromising on points), however, can’t be sniffed at.

Still, we’d be surprised if the coach’s name was higher up on the list than younger candidates across Europe.

Sporting’s Ruben Amorim and Bayer Lekerkusen’s Xabi Alonso, for instance, will likely be considered more appropriate options.

One can be removed from the list – Alonso. If Madrid want a new manager in 2025/26 season then I believe he would prefer a move to a Spain above LFC. As things stand he now has opportunity to use Leverkusen for CL experience during the 2024/25 season which would then fit neatly into the change to Madrid.
I really can’t see him coming to LFC.

After a thumping 3-1 victory over Burnley, Liverpool are all set to battle Brentford in an away fixture in the Premier League on Saturday. They would like to continue the momentum and drop no points as the race to the league title intensifies.

With 54 points in 24 games, the Reds are sitting at the top of the points table. However, arch-rivals Manchester City are just two points off them with a game in hand. Hence, Jürgen Klopp‘s men will aim to secure all three points and leave no room for other teams to climb up.

Ibrahima Konate will be available for the clash after suspension and will pair up with Virgil van Dijk at the centre-back. Andy Robertson will continue his operations in the left-back position.

Midfield

The trio of Alexis Mac Allister, Wataru Endo, and Curtis Jones will continue to operate in the midfield as Dominik Szoboszlai and Thiago Alcantara will miss the contest due to injuries.

Ezoic
While Endo and Jones had decent outings against Burnley, Mac Allister wasn’t up to the mark. Hence, he should step up at the Gtech Community Stadium and help his side register a vital victory.

Attack

Earlier this week, The Reds received a moral boost when Mohamed Salah joined the training session after recovering from a hamstring injury. However, boss Jürgen Klopp will prefer the attacking trio of Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, who have been impressive. Salah can come from the bench in the second half to get some game time.
