Liverpool ready to offer €120 million for former Chelsea star

Although Barcelona haven’t made a decision over Andreas Christensen’s future, it’s rumored that Liverpool are prepared to pay €50 million to get him.

Liverpool are reportedly interested in Andreas Christensen ahead of the summer transfer window and are prepared to spend about €50 million for the Danish defender, according to Fichajes.

Although the 27-year-old utility player has performed well for Barcelona, the Blaugrana are yet to take a decision on his future.

With the departure of Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool will attempt to maintain the high caliber of work produced by their German manager. Even without deciding who would succeed Klopp in the summer, the Reds still have plans to bolster their squad.

Signing a centre-back is high on the Liverpool priority list as Joel Matip is likely to leave the club at the end of the season.

Liverpool are prepared to up their bid and make an offer for the Danish centre back in the region of about €50 million. According to a prior rumour, Barcelona would sell for €60 million, but in reality, they haven’t decided his future at the club.

The utility player, 27, has proven to be an excellent addition. But coming on a Bosman move would ideally make him vulnerable to a major sale that might bring in a ton of money for the Catalans during such a trying financial time.

Manchester United and Liverpool are also interested, but Barcelona would probably wait to take a call on the Dane until after considering the bids that come in. If Christensen chooses to stay, things may become more tricky, but the Catalans aren’t entirely against it right now.

Given Barcelona’s present financial situation, Christensen’s sale would be ideal for the team.

Tottenham Hotspur ‘worried Ange Postecoglou could take Liverpool job’

Tottenham Hotspur allegedly fear that Ange Postecoglou could be tempted by a move to Liverpool.

Earlier this year, Jurgen Klopp announced that he would be ending his long-term association with the Merseyside giants at the end of the season.

With Liverpool challenging for four pieces of silverware this season and strong favourites to return to next season’s Champions League, Klopp will be leaving the club in favourable conditions.

Since his recent revelation, a number of high-profile names have inevitably been linked with a switch to Anfield, including Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso.

The Spaniard – a former Liverpool midfielder – is yet to lose a game all season and has established a five-point lead for Leverkusen at the top of the Bundesliga standings.

However, such has his reputation been enhanced that other teams are monitoring the situation, including another ex-club in the shape of Bayern Munich who may see their Bundesliga dominance brought to an end after 11 successive titles.As it stands, there has been no indication whether Alonso will be tempted elsewhere, and it throws open the possibility of Liverpool having to seriously consider other alternatives.According to Football Insider, there are concerns behind the scenes at Spurs that Liverpool could make an approach for Postecoglou.The Greek-Australian is currently performing above initial expectations since his arrival from Celtic, keeping Spurs in the top four of the Premier League for much of the season.

Not only do the North Londoners currently sit in fourth place in the table, just seven points adrift of Liverpool, Postecoglou has put together a team that are consistently producing attractive football.

Speaking to Football Insider’s ‘Insider Track Podcast’, transfer correspondent Pete O’Rourke said that Spurs are “absolutely concerned Ange could go” to Liverpool at the end of the season.

Postecoglou has a contract with Spurs until the end of 2026-27, yet it remains to be seen whether Liverpool or any other interested party would be prepared to pay the necessary compensation to secure his services.

Furthermore, Postecoglou is only two transfer windows into his project at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, his team currently on course to deliver their targets for the season.
