Liverpool has signed Leroy Sane £190M

Home » transfer-news » Liverpool make move to sign Leroy Sane

Liverpool have started making moves to acquire the services of 28-year-old former Manchester City star Leroy Sane.

According to Sport via Sport Witness, Liverpool are interested in signing Leroy Sane. The 28-year-old winger has been on their radar for a long while now and they have finally started making moves to land him at the club.

Sane made a name for himself quite early in his career. After coming up the ranks at FC Schalke 04, he had a four-year-long successful stint at Manchester City before joining Bayern Munich. Since making the move to the German club, he has gone from strength to strength. He has 21 goal contributions this season.

The 28-year-old is amongst the best right-wingers in the world and he has been a consistent performer for Bayern. But, with less than 18 months left on his contract, quite a few top clubs are closely monitoring him.

Barcelona are one of the clubs that have been linked with the German international of late. They have identified him as their key target to reinforce their attack next season. But, as per the report, Sane is not keen on making the move to the Spanish giants and he will prefer to extend his stay at the German club.

The 28-year-old has recently changed agents. He is now represented by Christian Schmid who has great relations to Bayern. As a result, a new deal could be on the cards.

While he has no intentions of making the move to Spain, there is no mention of him not being interested in a move back to the Premier League. Liverpool have been linked with the German international for quite a while now.

The Reds will most likely part ways with Mohamed Salah after the end of the season. Saudi Pro League clubs are expected to return for him next summer and the Merseyside club might not be able to keep hold of him. As a result, they have started preparing for life without the Egypt international.

Sane is someone who can surely help replace Salah on the right flank. He even has the experience of playing in the Premier League. As a result, Liverpool are keen on having him in their ranks and they have mad moves in recent months.

The Merseyside club want to secure his services in the summer but for that to happen, they will have to convince him and his agent to not extend their contract at the German club.

‘He’s a liability…’ – ESPN pundit says Liverpool player left teammate doing ‘two jobs’ v Arsenal

Steve Nicol was critical of one Liverpool player who left a teammate doing ‘two jobs’ during the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.

The 62-year-old rounded on Trent Alexander-Arnold during a post-match discussion on ESPN FC, describing the Reds’ vice-captain as a defensive ‘liability’ and accusing him of forcing Ibrahima Konate to double-job against the Gunners.

The ex-Anfield defender said: “Alexander-Arnold, as great as he is on the ball going forward, he’s a liability defensively. He can’t defend one on one and he doesn’t get in good positions to stop [Gabriel] Martinelli today getting the ball.

“Konate ends up having to do two jobs. He’s got to play centre-back and he’s got to cover the right-back position constantly.”

The ‘Trent can’t defend’ narrative must be one of the most cliched and tiresome in all of football, but unfortunately the 25-year-old didn’t have his best day in that regard against Arsenal.

Martinelli had the better of him on Sunday in a manner that few (if any) opposition attackers have managed this season, while the Liverpool vice-captain was dribbled past twice and committed one error leading to a shot for the Gunners (Sofascore).

It wasn’t his finest day at the office by any means, and the same could be said for all of his teammates yesterday, but we’re confident the Reds’ number 66 can show us his truer self against Burnley next weekend.

You can view Nicol’s comments below (from 3:54), via ESPN FC on YouTube:

Nichols right, hopefully Bradley can embarrassing him going forward

It was why he was hooked off, last time he played against Martinelli it was the same TAA was run ragged. Cannot complain when he plays further forward but Bradley leaves him standing as a defender. Most of the problems were that side of the pitch.

The wayethe with which LFC played against arsenal is concerning.LFC didn’t start the match with tempo they could employ.That resulted to them outpressed.I hoped that after halftime there would be a great amelioration but in vain. It is time that Arnold be deployed in midfield permanently. In the absence of Bradley Gomez can do the trick.Communication between the goal keeper nerds to improve.

Simon Macartney Mlungisi MbeshuFebruary 5, 2024 at 7:33 pm
LFC have shot themselves in the foot by slow start. That is a lost opportunity now.However there is still time to make amends though we will be undet tremendous pressure henceforth .Our destiny is in our hands.

The two Premier League giants will face off an Anfield in March in a game that could go a long way to deciding who lifts the league title come May.

Liverpool are top of the league heading into City’s game against Brentford on Monday, but are just five points ahead of the reigning champions, who have two matches in hand.

The Reds’ fate remains in their own hands, however, and they will have to beat City in their game next month in order to keep in that way in the final few months of Jurgen Klopp’s reign.

The game, following the release of the fixtures, will take place on Sunday March 10, with kick-off now set for 3:45pm and the game live on Sky Sports.

Kylian Mbappe faces awkward transfer truth as Real Madrid agree with Liverpool
Liverpool-linked Kylian Mbappe is reportedly set to join Real Madrid in the summer but negotiations over a move appear to have hit a snag.

Kylian Mbappe’s expected big money move to Real Madrid may not be as cut and dry as first thought, according to fresh reports.

The French World Cup-winning forward is out of contract this summer and is expected to leave Paris Saint-Germain on the expiry of his current deal. A host of top European clubs including Liverpool were once again linked with the prolific marksman but last week French outlet Le Parisien claimed that Mbappe had made his mind up and would be heading to the Santiago Bernabeu before the start of next season.

However, according to the Independent the move is not yet a done deal, with Madrid locked in contract negotiations with Mbappe and his team of representatives who are said to be no closer to an agreement over the player’s wages. Mbappe’s current club PSG have tabled an offer to try and keep him in the French capital although there is an acceptance that the forward is on his way out of Paris this summer, with the terms believed to be only a slight improvement on his current deal.

Mbappe’s huge wage demands have been considered a stumbling block for Premier League clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal but even notorious big-spenders like Madrid are trying to change their approach to transfers with a move towards trying to develop more young players as opposed the the focus on acquiring ‘Galacticos’ as seen in the past. Liverpool would not break their wage structure for Mbappe and it seems as if Madrid may take the same stance.

Mbappe is one of the most wanted players in European football but finds himself limited in terms of where he can move because of the huge salary that he already enjoys at PSG. Madrid came close to signing the 25-year-old in 2022 before he decided to pen a new contract with PSG.

Should he be unable to agree a deal with Madrid it will leave the door open for other clubs to make a case of their own but the prospect of Liverpool or Arsenal disrupting their current wages structures to facilitate his arrival seems unlikely. However, if Mbappe fancies testing himself in English football he may need to make some compromises on his earning potential in exchange for a genuine examination of his abilities outside the French top-flight.

It has been almost six months since Alexis Mac Allister joined Liverpool. And it seems as if the Argentine midfielder has quickly settled into his new team at Liverpool under the guidance of the legendary Jurgen Klopp. The 24-year-old recently shared his insights on Klopp’s decision to change his position and expressed his admiration for the unforgettable atmosphere and fans at Anfield.

Liverpool has had a successful season in the Premier League for the past several years. The team currently sits in 3rd place with just two points behind table leaders Arsenal. Notably, Mac Allister has played a significant role in the team’s midfield, thanks to Klopp’s astute decision-making.

In a recent interview ahead of Liverpool’s PL game against Fulham, Mac Allister delved into the nuances of his new club. He discussed the electric atmosphere, passionate fans, and his relationship with Klopp. The midfielder emphasized his dedication to the team, stating, “I feel like a team player, willing to take the place that Klopp tells me to.”

“Me siento un jugador de equipo, dispuesto a ocupar el lugar que Klopp me diga. Primero él me veía como interior derecho, pero después pasé a jugar de 5 y eso me beneficia mucho”.

Alexis Mac Allister then went on to reveal the vision the German manager had for him. He shared, “Initially, Klopp saw me as a right interior player, but then I started playing as a number 5, which has greatly benefited me.” The synergy between the two has proven to be strong, with Mac Allister thriving in his new role in the field.

Liverpool readying bid for “magician” winger who could be Salah’s successor
BY
HENRY JACKSON
PUBLISHED 3 HOURS AGO
FSG are said to be preparing an “imminent” offer.

Liverpool are reportedly readying an offer to secure the signing of a new winger who’s been called a “magician” by his teammates, seeing him as a possible successor to Mohamed Salah.

Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool future
Last summer, a huge £150m offer arrived for Salah from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad, but the Reds rejected it on the spot, not wanting arguably their most prized player to move on. While Salah hasn’t indicated that he will move away this year instead, it seems inevitable that further bids will arrive from Saudi clubs, as they look to turn his head with his contract ticking down.

The Liverpool legend is out of contract at Anfield in the summer of 2025, so it is clear that a huge decision will need to be made at the end of this season, with the 31-year-old either having to sign an extension or leave for an eye-watering amount of money. The idea of him moving on for free next year doesn’t even bear thinking about.

Should Salah decide to enjoy a fresh challenge in the summer, it is imperative that the Reds have some stellar potential replacements lined up, and it looks as though that is the case.

Liverpool eyeing Barcelona star Raphinha
According to a report from Spain, Liverpool are keen on signing Barcelona winger Raphinha, looking at him as a successor to Salah, should he move on at the end of the season. There is also interest in his teammate Ansu Fati, who is currently on loan at Brighton.

“Liverpool are taking a proactive stance regarding the possibility of Mohamed Salah leaving the club after having a significant offer from Al-Ittihad of Saudi Arabia. In order to ensure a smooth transition in the event of his departure, Liverpool are evaluating two Barcelona options in Raphinha and Ansu Fati.

“The first option that Liverpool is evaluating is that of the Brazilian winger, since his place in the Barcelona squad is not guaranteed. Although the negotiations could be a complex process, the possibility of bringing in Raphinha as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah is on the table, with Liverpool preparing an imminent offer to acquire his services.”

Raphinha could be an excellent option for Liverpool, not least because he has proven himself in the Premier League in the past, shining for Leeds United and registering 29 goal contributions (17 goals and 12 assists) in the competition. Leeds teammate Dan James once said of him: “He’s a magician. He’s always been a great player – I played against him at United and he was always great – but he’s improved so much.”

Despite not quite finding the stardom he was hoping for when he moved to Catalonia, he has received plenty of praise with Barca too, with members of the media saying his movement is “unstoppable” and “one of his and Barcelona’s deadliest weapons”.

Replacing Salah is going to be a near-impossible task for Liverpool, considering he is one of the best players in the history of the club, and while him staying remains easily the best option, Raphinha could bring similar attributes if he comes in, in terms of his ability to cut in from the right wing and affect games with his technical brilliance.

Roy Keane praises Jurgen Klopp for “no bull” verdict on Liverpool defeat
February 5, 2024
Adam Beattie
Jurgen Klopp had a surprise ally after the defeat to Arsenal, with former Man United midfielder Roy Keane praising his honesty in his post-match interview.

Liverpool fell to only their second league defeat of the season as the Gunners took advantage of multiple mistakes to come away 3-1 winners.

It was a frustrating afternoon for the Reds, with Klopp delivering a frank assessment of his side’s performance after the contest in which he described some of his star players as “humans.”

Somewhat unexpectedly, Keane was quick to defend this approach from the Liverpool boss, hailing the “no bull” attitude he showed as he looked back on the game.

“I loved the interview, I think he is very honest, Klopp,” Keane told Sky Sports after the game.

“I think he’s been calm there. He’s obviously got vast experience, he knows over the course of the season you have your ups and downs.

“For most of the season for Liverpool it’s been up so I get the balance right, I thought his piece was spot on.

“I’ve always enjoyed his stuff after games, I don’t think you get any bull from him, I enjoyed that, I thought it was pretty straightforward.

“Can you see that quality of the manager and that experience? ‘Everyone calm down, we’ll bounce back.’”

It is a defeat that keeps the title race wide open, with Arsenal being brought firmly back into the picture as they move to within two points of top spot.

Man City have an opportunity to join the Gunners on 49 points at Brentford on Monday evening, but they have currently played two games fewer than the top two sides.

There will no doubt be plenty of twists and turns before the season is over, but Liverpool remain at the top of the table as things stand.

While it was a disappointing performance at an inopportune moment, the Reds are still well-placed and will be hoping to bounce back against Burnley on Saturday afternoon at Anfield.

MICHAEL OWEN & IAN WRIGHT AGREE ABOUT ALISSON BECKER & VIRGIL VAN DIJK AFTER LIVERPOOL’S LOSS TO ARSENAL

It has been a long while since Liverpool tasted defeat, but it was another London club who put another ‘L’ next to the club’s name for this season.

Given that the defeat to Tottenham was a controversial one, you would probably have to go back to last season when Jurgen Klopp watched his players make errors and not look like themselves.

Gabriel Martinelli’s goal stemmed from a mix-up between Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk on the edge of Liverpool’s penalty area, which the Arsenal man happily accepted.

Michael Owen and Ian Wright agreed that it was the man in between the sticks who was to blame for that moment because he should have come out and cleared the ball, as they told Premier League Productions (04/02/24 at 6:40 pm).

In the end, neither player actually did anything, other than, letting the ball bounce and watching Gabriel Martinelli put the ball into an open net to give the home side the lead once again.

Liverpool weren’t at their best at the Emirates, but they were still level after the hour mark and they had every chance to get something from the match.

That moment just opened the door for Arsenal and they then added to their tally in stoppage-time when substitute Leandro Trossard put the cherry on top of the cake.

Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk mix-up
“It shouldn’t happen, it’s definitely a mistake,” said Owen. “I thought it was Alisson’s fault. If I had to pick a player.

“Listen, you can blame both of them in many ways. I think, potentially, Virgil van Dijk could head this one. He could head it and he lets it bounce.

“After that, he is in total control if Alisson stays on his line. He is in control. He is happy one-v-one. Stronger and quicker. He’s goal side and absolutely in control, just don’t come out and leave him to it, then Alisson comes out and actually half collides and none of them touche it – so, I think it’s more Alisson’s fault than van Dijk’s.”

Wright added: “If Alisson doesn’t come, then there is Gabriel Martinelli and there is no way he gets on that side of Virgil. No way he is getting on that side – but seeing Alisson there and getting the little nudge, it’s confused everything. He needed more communication from the goalkeeper.”

Liverpool put on a late show against Arsenal in the FA Cup recently and those home fans were probably fearing the worst was going to happen again.

There is no doubt that Mikel Arteta’s men were the better team, but the fact is, before that mistake, the scoreline read very differently.

It would have suited Liverpool if it had remained that way, but that title door was opened by Alisson and van Dijk.

All of this now just makes things very, very interesting and reduces Liverpool’s lead at the top of the table to just two points.

Arsenal may finally have what they need after Gabriel moment left Darwin Nunez shook
Comment: Gabriel’s bizarre moment with Darwin Nunez was evidence of a trait that Arsenal have lacked under Mikel Arteta.

When Darwin Nunez blazed over the crossbar in a missed opportunity to put Liverpool level against Arsenal in the second half of their Premier League clash, Gabriel growled in the face of the Uruguayan. It was a moment that epitomised the kind of underhand tactic that Arsenal have lacked under Mikel Arteta.

The north Londoners have too often been perceived as being too nice. Inexperience and immaturity in their biggest matches saw them falter in their pursuit of a shock Premier League title last season.

But with the expectations raised in this campaign, Arsenal now seem a much savvier group of players. They now push the rules to their very boundaries and, on Sunday, frustrated a Liverpool side that are renowned for calm and patience.

Manchester City are masters of the dark arts – winding up their opposition and committing fouls that stop promising counter-attacks. Arsenal finally appear to be taking note of a tactic that breeds trophy winners.

Gabriel’s growl in the face of Nunez was an attempt to get into the head of the striker. It was a move that oozed the positive kind of arrogance required to push a title contender off track.

Nunez seemed so moved by Gabriel’s roar that he hugged the Brazilian and attempted to laugh it off. But the defender had clearly won the mental battle.

Last season, it was Arsenal whose ability to cope under pressure was too easily beaten apart. A brittle mentality was exposed in the final stretch of the season, when a gap over Manchester City that at one stage was 11 points seemed to close by the week. City ultimately won the league by five points.

But this time around, Arsenal seem much stronger. Injuries were their downfall in the first half of the season, as opposed to succumbing to pressure. The lack of a striker capable of matching Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah’s respective goal tallies will likely see them fail to win a first Premier League in 20 years.

But, finally for Arteta, genuine leaders appear to be emerging among his squad. Gabriel, William Saliba, Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice and Jorginho provide a spine of players capable of performing under pressure and using the dark arts to see through momentous victories that last season would have been defeats.

“Definitely it is because it’s such a good group, it’s such a humble group,” said the experienced Jorginho when asked by Sky Sports if Arsenal have a squad capable of winning the trophies he won at Chelsea. “They listen to each other and no one is selfish here and everyone thinks for the group and that’s the most important thing and the maturity our team demonstrated today was huge.”

Arsenal’s maturity will be needed ahead of the season’s run-in. Arteta’s side still need to go to City, Tottenham and Manchester United. They also have a tough Champions League last-16 tie against Porto.

It is in those matches that Arsenal will prove they have the personality to win trophies.

Arsenal have learned from last year’s title miss – Arteta

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta hailed his side’s performance in their win over Liverpool on Sunday. Getty
Mikel Arteta has said he believes Arsenal are firmly in the Premier League title race and vowed to learn lessons from last season after beating leaders Liverpool 3-1 at Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Bukayo Saka opened the scoring on 14 minutes in a raucous atmosphere before a Gabriel own-goal on the stroke of half-time drew the visitors level.

A comical mix-up between Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker gifted Gabriel Martinelli the chance to put Arsenal in front on 67 minutes before substitute Leandro Trossard added a third in stoppage-time to move Arsenal within two points of Liverpool and above Manchester City into second place.

“We are there, that’s for sure,” said Arteta. “We want to continue to be there. We’ve been really consistent all season, if not you aren’t where we are today.

“We take it game by game, the availability of the squad is going to be crucial. We have learned that from last season. Let’s try to make that happen.

“It was an extraordinary game, an incredible performance from the players and our people. That’s the best atmosphere I’ve seen all season.

“We demanded that. We had to go to a different level and connect it again to the demands that this league has. I think the players left absolutely everything.

“They put their heart and soul in every single ball. I cannot be any prouder because I know how hard it is to beat this team, how much you have to suffer and how much you have to process to do what we did on the ball.”

Saka limped off injured with 11 minutes to go but Arteta played down the severity of that problem and added that the fitness issue that caused Gabriel Jesus to miss the game will only keep him out for a matter of “days.”

Jamie Carragher told Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard to ‘get down the tunnel’ following his post-match celebrations after his side’s 3-1 win over Liverpool.

The Reds endured a torrid day at the office as a mistake by Virgil van Dijk and goalkeeper Alisson Becker gifted their Premier League title rivals two goals, just their second defeat of the season. Mikel Arteta’s side were up for the crunch match and caught Liverpool cold as the league leaders failed to lay a glove on the North London club.

Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard were on target for the Gunners, while a Gabriel own-goal handed Liverpool an unlikely avenue back into the game. Jurgen Klopp’s misery was compounded when Ibrahima Konate was shown a second yellow card moments before Trossard’s effort.

The victory reignited Arsenal’s title aspirations, and they certainly enjoyed getting one over on their rivals. In the immediate aftermath of the full-time whistle going, Odegaard, who completed the full 90 minutes, turned photographer.

The midfielder took a snap of Gunners club photographer Stuart McFarlane in front of a jubilant home end, but Carragher was not impressed with what he was seeing.

He said: “Just get down the tunnel, you’ve won a game. It’s three points, you’ve been brilliant you are back in the title race, get back down the tunnel. I am serious – honestly.”

Before he later added: “Arsenal deserved the win, Liverpool were so far off. They played poorly, it’s not something we’ve seen of them of late. They’ve got three or four matches until they play Manchester City – that’ll be a massive test of their nerve now.”
