Sealed Deal: Liverpool has signed Bayern Munich ‘world-class’striker who is good in football aspects €195m rated

Bayern Munich now open to selling ‘world-class’ player after links to Liverpool

Bayern Munich are reportedly open to selling Joshua Kimmich, with Liverpool linked with the Germany international.

The 28-year-old midfielder is regarded by many as one of the best in his position in world football, with Kimmich an established superstar for both Bayern and the German national team.

However, rumours have been circulating that Kimmich could leave the Bundesliga giants in 2024, with Liverpool one of the sides reportedly interested in signing the versatile midfielder.

And according to Bild, Bayern are now open to selling Kimmich, with the German side eager to upgrade their midfield next summer, which could result in the sale of the 28-year-old.

Praised by Julian Nagelsmann as a ‘world-class’ player, Kimmich would be quite the coup for many top sides if Bayern really do go through with the unthinkable and offload the midfielder.

And for Liverpool, the Reds should really consider a move for the German maestro, especially if the likes of Thiago Alcantara are due to leave Anfield in 2024 next summer.

MORE LIVERPOOL STORIES
Few midfielders in world football are as talented or as versatile as Kimmich, and Liverpool should really consider making a move for the Bayern star.

Whether or not the 28-year-old actually leaves is another question entirely, yet should the unlikely happen, Liverpool have to ensure they’re at the front of the queue for Kimmich.

Indeed, the Germany international has everything needed to thrive in the Premier League, with Kimmich likely open to working under Jurgen Klopp, as well.

And Liverpool should now be on standby for Kimmich’s potential departure, a move that would be seismic across the European football scene.

KLOPP IN “VITAL” TALKS WITH FSG ABOUT JANUARY SIGNINGS

Join AI Pro
JURGEN KLOPP’S STRATEGY IN TRANSFER TALKS WITH FSG: LIVERPOOL’S JANUARY PLANS UNVEILED
Liverpool’s ongoing title chase in the Premier League has sparked much speculation about potential January reinforcements. Despite manager Jurgen Klopp’s earlier statements downplaying the likelihood of January transfers, recent developments suggest a shift in strategy, particularly in the defensive department.

LIVERPOOL’S DEFENSIVE CONUNDRUM AND TRANSFER TARGETS
The Reds have been dealt a significant blow with Joel Matip’s season-ending ACL injury, highlighting a concerning lack of depth in their centre-back options. This injury has undoubtedly impacted Liverpool’s Premier League ambitions, evidenced by their recent draw against Manchester United. Despite needing bolstering in defence and midfield to enhance their title chances, Liverpool are anticipated to have a relatively quiet winter window.

The club’s transfer activity is expected to be influenced by the progression of teams in European competitions. Clubs exiting at the group stage might be more amenable to negotiations. Liverpool is exploring various markets, with particular interest in the Portugese Primeira Liga.

POTENTIAL TRANSFERS AND FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Goncalo Inacio of Sporting Lisbon has emerged as a potential target, though his hefty release clause exceeding £50 million poses a challenge. Liverpool’s interest is paralleled by Arsenal, who are also eyeing Inacio. David Carmo of Porto is another name under consideration.

European prospects like Maxence Lacroix and Lloyd Kelly are being monitored, but doubts persist regarding their suitability for Liverpool’s needs. The club appears to lean towards a cost-effective or short-term defensive solution rather than a long-term investment this January.

MIDFIELD DYNAMICS AND KLOPP’S TACTICAL OUTLOOK
The injury to Alexis Mac Allister further complicates Liverpool’s midfield situation. However, bolstering this area in the upcoming transfer window seems unlikely. Klopp has expressed concerns about squad depth, particularly with the demanding schedule ahead, including a quarter-final clash against West Ham.

Klopp’s recent remarks post the United match reflect his pragmatic approach to the challenges ahead: “It’s December, it’s the toughest period of the year… We have to get through this, open our eyes in April and see where we are.”

KLOPP’S PERSPECTIVE ON THE TEAM’S RESILIENCE
Despite the draw against United and existing injury woes, Klopp remains optimistic about his team’s capabilities: “We have our injuries… but my boys today looked ready to give it a proper try.” This sentiment underscores Klopp’s belief in his squad’s resilience and adaptability, despite the constraints and challenges of the season.

Every Premier League Club’s Highest Earners: Man City Stars Lead; Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal Best-paid Players Revealed
Every Premier League club’s highest earners: Man City stars lead; Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal best-paid players revealed
Nathan Egerton 1 hour ago

Mohamed Salah for Liverpool, Kevin De Bruyne for Manchester City and Kai Havertz for Arsenal. TEAMtalk montage.

Having cemented its status as the world’s richest football league, the Premier League is unsurprisingly home to some of the highest-paid players in the world.

Every Premier League club now receives hundreds of millions in television money and average pay packets have subsequently skyrocketed in recent years

Using data from Capology, we’ve taken a look at the top five highest-earning players from each Premier League club.

Note: we’ve not included any players that are currently on loan at a Premier League side or are out on loan as their wage bill is often divided between two clubs.

Arsenal’s highest-paid players

1. Kai Havertz – £280,000-per-week
2. Gabriel Jesus – £265,000-per-week
3= Declan Rice – £240,000-per-week
3= Martin Odegaard – £240,000-per-week
5. Thomas Partey – £200,000-per-week

Havertz moved across London in the summer and got a slight pay rise, going from £250,000-per-week at Chelsea to £280,000-per-week at Arsenal.

The Gunners also broke their transfer record to sign Rice from West Ham United and they quadrupled his £60,000-a-week salary.

Aston Villa’s highest-paid players

1= Youri Tielemans – £150,000-per-week
1= Boubacar Kamara – £150,000-per-week
3= Ollie Watkins – £130,000-per-week
3= Moussa Diaby – £130,000-per-week
5= Emiliano Martinez – £120,000-per-week
5= Lucas Digne – £120,000-per-week
5= John McGinn – £120,000-per-week

While Villa didn’t have to pay a transfer fee for Tielemans or Kamara, they both signed lucrative contracts and are earning £150,000-a-week in wages.

Watkins has been instrumental to Villa’s success under Unai Emery and recently committed his long-term future to the club by penning a new contract, which took his wages to £130,000-per-week.

Bournemouth’s highest-paid players

1. Justin Kluivert – £80,000-per-week
2. Tyler Adams – £60,000-per-week
3= David Brooks – £50,000-per-week
3= Marcos Senesi – £50,000-per-week
3= Neto – £50,000-per-week
3= Dominic Solanke – £50,000-per-week
3= Ryan Christie – £50,000-per-week

Bournemouth are now owned by American billionaire Bill Foley, and he handed out lucrative contracts to Kluivert and Adams in the summer transfer window.

TEAMtalk recently revealed that they have also offered defender Lloyd Kelly a club-record deal in a bid to persuade him to sign a new contract.

Brentford’s highest-paid players

1. Ben Mee – £55,000-per-week
2. Mathias Jensen – £50,000-per-week
3. Bryan Mbeumo – £45,000-per-week
4= Kristoffer Ajer – £40,000-per-week
4= Frank Onyeka – £40,000-per-week

Brentford are widely regarded to be among the best-run and most financially sustainable clubs in England and it’s easy to see why.

They have a tightly controlled wage bill and Ivan Toney – who has been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea – is earning just £20,000-per-week.

Brighton’s highest-paid players

1. Adam Lallana – £90,000-per-week
2= Lewis Dunk – £80,000-per-week
2= Kaoru Mitoma – £80,000-per-week
4. Pascal Gross – £65,000-per-week
5. James Milner – £60,000-per-week

Lallana joined Brighton on a free transfer in the summer of 2020 and is the top earner among the permanent members of their squad.

But Ansu Fati is on loan with the Seagulls this season and they are reportedly paying 80 per cent of his Barcelona wages, making them liable for around £128,000-per-week.

Burnley’s highest-paid players

1= Josh Brownhill – £45,000-per-week
1= Jack Cork – £45,000-per-week
3= Jay Rodriquez – £40,000-per-week
3= Josh Cullen – £40,000-per-week
3= Sander Berge – £40,000-per-week

Brownhill and Cork are the highest-paid players at Burnley, but they are both out of contract at the end of the season and the former has been linked with Wolves and Leicester City.

Chelsea’s highest-paid players

1. Raheem Sterling – £325,000-per-week
2. Reece James – £250,000-per-week
3= Wesley Fofana – £200,000-per-week
3= Ben Chilwell – £200,000-per-week
5. Christopher Nkunku – £195,000-per-week

The first signing of the Todd Boehly era, Sterling joined Chelsea from Manchester City in 2022 and signed a five-year contract worth around £325,000-a-week.

Romelu Lukaku was also earning £325,000-a-week at Stamford Bridge, but he took a pay cut in order to secure a loan move to Roma.

Crystal Palace’s highest-paid players

1= Michael Olise – £100,000-per-week
1= Eberechi Eze – £100,000-per-week
1= Dean Henderson – £100,000-per-week
4. Odsonne Edouard – £90,000-per-week
5= Nathaniel Clyne – £80,000-per-week
5= Joachim Andersen – £80,000-per-week

After rejecting a move to Chelsea in the summer, Olise stayed at Palace and was given a new four-year contract worth £100,000-per-week.

Henderson – who joined the club from Manchester United in the summer transfer window – and Eze are also on the same salary as Olise.

Everton’s highest-paid players

1. Abdoulaye Doucoure – £130,000-per-week
2. Jordan Pickford – £125,000-per-week
3. Andre Gomes – £112,308-per-week
4= Dominic Calvert-Lewin – £100,000-per-week
4= Amadou Onana – £100,000-per-week
4= James Tarkowski – £100,000-per-week
4= Dele Alli – £100,000-per-week

Doucoure scored the goal that secured Everton’s Premier League survival at the end of the 2022/23 season and has since usurped Pickford as the highest-paid player at Goodison Park.

Andre Gomes and Dele Alli are yet to make a first-team appearance in 2023/24 and they are both out of contract at the end of the season.

Fulham’s highest-paid players

1. Raul Jimenez – £100,000-per-week
2= Willian – £90,000-per-week
2= Bernd Leno – £90,000-per-week
4= Joao Palhinha – £80,000-per-week
4= Alex Iwobi – £80,000-per-week

After selling Aleksandar Mitrovic in the summer, Fulham signed Jimenez from Wolves and gave him a two-year deal worth £100,000-per-week.

Palhinha got a significant pay rise at Craven Cottage after his proposed move to Bayern Munich fell through on transfer deadline day.

Liverpool’s highest-paid players

1. Mohamed Salah – £350,000-per-week
2. Virgil Van Dijk – £220,000-per-week
3. Thiago Alcantara – £200,000-per-week
4. Trent Alexander-Arnold – £180,000-per-week
5= Alisson – £150,000-per-week
5= Ryan Gravenberch – £150,000-per-week
5= Alexis Mac Allister – £150,000-per-week

Salah signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool in 2022 and his wages went from £200,000-per-week to £350,000-per-week, making him the highest-paid player in the club’s illustrious history.

But that pales in comparison to the £2.45million-a-week wage that Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal are reportedly willing to offer the Egypt international.

Luton Town’s highest-paid players

1. Ryan Giles – £35,000-per-week
2= Ross Barkley – £30,000-per-week
2= Tahith Chong – £30,000-per-week
2= Jacob Brown – £30,000-per-week
2= Marvelous Nakamba – £30,000-per-week

Luton Town have the lowest wage bill in the Premier League and Mohamed Salah receives at least 10 times more than their highest earner.

Manchester City’s highest-paid players

1. Kevin De Bruyne – £400,000-per-week
2. Erling Haaland – £375,000-per-week
3= Jack Grealish – £300,000-per-week
3= Bernardo Silva – £300,000-per-week
5. John Stones – £250,000-per-week

Widely regarded as one of the best players in the world, De Bruyne is the highest-paid player in the Premier League and earns £20.8million-per-year.

He’s closely followed by teammate Haaland, who reportedly has a series of bonuses in his contract that could see his weekly wage surge beyond the £850,000 mark.

Manchester United’s highest-paid players

1. Casemiro – £350,000-per-week
2. Raphael Varane – £340,000-per-week
3. Marcus Rashford – £300,000-per-week
4= Jadon Sancho – £250,000-per-week
4= Mason Mount – £250,000-per-week
4= Anthony Martial – £250,000-per-week

United have the highest wage bill in the Premier League in 2023/24, but they are looking to offload some of their biggest earners.

Casemiro, Varane and Sancho have all been linked with moves away from Old Trafford while Martial is out of contract at the end of the season.

Newcastle United’s highest-paid players

1. Bruno Guimaraes – £160,000-per-week
2= Alexander Isak – £120,000-per-week
2= Kieran Trippier – £120,000-per-week
4. Matt Targett – £100,000-per-week
5. Sven Botman – £90,000-per-week

Guimaraes helped Newcastle finish in the top four in 2022/23 and has since signed a new long-term contract, which increased his salary by £40,000-per-week.

Sandro Tonali is on £120,000-per-week, but the Telegraph claim that Newcastle are exploring the possibility of reducing his wages after he was handed a 10-month ban for gambling breaches.

Nottingham Forest’s highest-paid players

1= Callum Hudson-Odoi – £80,000-per-week
1= Felipe – £80,000-per-week
1= Morgan Gibbs-White – £80,000-per-week
1= Chris Wood – £80,000-per-week
5. Ibrahim Sangare – £75,000-per-week

There is a four-way tie to be Forest’s highest earner as Gibbs-White, Felipe, Wood and Hudson-Odoi are all on £80,000-per-week.

Divock Origi is spending the 2023/24 season on loan at the City Ground, but it remains unknown how much of his £120,000-per-week salary the Reds are covering.

Sheffield United

1. Rhian Brewster – £35,000-per-week
2= Vinicius Souza – £30,000-per-week
2= Gustavo Hamer – £30,000-per-week
2= Anel Ahmedhodzic – £30,000-per-week
2= Tom Davies – £30,000-per-week
2= Cameron Archer – £30,000-per-week

Since joining Sheffield United from Liverpool in 2020, Brewster has struggled to justify his £35,000-per-week wages and has scored just five goals for the club.

Tottenham’s highest-paid players

1. Son Heung-min – £190,000-per-week
2. Ivan Perisic – £180,000-per-week
3. James Maddison – £170,000-per-week
4. Cristian Romero – £165,000-per-week
5. Dejan Kulusevski – £110,000-per-week

Following Harry Kane’s move to Bayern Munich in the summer, Son Heuing-min is now the highest-paid player at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

He is closely followed by Perisic, who is out of contract at the end of the season and is currently recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

West Ham United’s highest-paid players

1. Lucas Paqueta – £150,000-per-week
2= Danny Ings – £125,000-per-week
2= Kurt Zouma – £125,000-per-week
4= Alphonse Areola – £120,000-per-week
4= Jarrod Bowen – £120,000-per-week

Despite being linked with a move to Manchester City in the summer, Paqueta ultimately remained at the London Stadium.

TEAMtalk understands that West Ham are preparing a contract offer for the Brazil international and his wages will rise from a base salary of £150,000-per-week to over £200,000-per-week.

Wolves’ highest-paid players

1. Pablo Sarabia – £90,000-per-week
2= Nelson Semedo – £80,000-per-week
2= Fabio Silva – £80,000-per-week
4= Matheus Cunha – £60,000-per-week
4= Daniel Podence – £60,000-per-week

Wolves’ top five has changed a lot in recent months as Raul Jimenez, Joao Moutinho, Goncalo Guedes and Matheus Nunes all left Molineux in the summer.

Sarabia is the only player from last season’s top five who is still at the club, but he has struggled to cement his place in the starting Xl.

Liverpool confirm hammer injury blow as forward set for surgery – ‘that’s not a good one’
Ben Doak has been added to the Liverpool treatment table.

By Will Rooney
Published 19th Dec 2023, 13:45 GMT
Updated 19th Dec 2023, 13:52 GMT

Ben Doak is set for a prolonged period on the Liverpool sidelines.

The winger has torn his lateral meniscus, which means he requires surgery. Doak suffered his setback when limping off in the 28th minute of the under-21s’ 2-1 win over Chelsea last weekend.

The 18-year-old has been on the periphery of Jurgen Klopp’s side throughout the season, making a total of six appearances. Doak may have featured in tomorrow night’s Carabao Cup quarter-final against West Ham – but now he is forced to undergo the knife and faces a lengthy lay-off.

Assistant manager Pep Lijnders said: “That’s not a good one. He tore his lateral meniscus, which needs surgery. That one will take [a] longer time. He is young, he is a fit guy, he is a positive guy so for sure he will come back stronger and we need him to come back with the same fire he has with the ball, how he was. He can take time and we will wait for him.”

LIVERPOOL FC TRANSFER RUMOURS
PSG ‘close’ to agreement for Liverpool transfer target

6 MINS AGO
ANDY HEADSPEATH
Paris Saint-Germain are close to an agreement for Liverpool-linked Lucas Beraldo, according to one report.

The 20-year-old defender had been named as a possible target for the Reds ahead of the transfer window re-opening next month, as Jurgen Klopp contends with mounting injury issues.

Liverpool had already earmarked at least one defensive addition for 2024. However, the season-ending injury to Joel Matip has only furthered the need for reinforcements at the back.

The Reds have been linked with a number of centre backs ahead of January and had even been named as the favourites in the race for Sao Paulo’s Beraldo, who has been impressing in South America.

However, according to Santi Aouna, it is actually PSG who will complete a winter deal for the Brazil youth international.

The Foot Mercato journalist wrote on X: “PSG is confident of completing the arrival of Lucas Beraldo for 20+5M € bonus. Close agreement between the parties. Possible medical examination next week.”

Aouna adds that PSG are also in advanced negotiations with Corinthians for Gabriel Moscardo, an 18-year-old midfielder who has also been loosely linked to Liverpool in recent weeks.

While Beraldo may now be off the table, whether Liverpool make any signings next month remains to be seen.

Jurgen Klopp has publicly played down Liverpool’s chances bringing in a replacement for the injured Matip. However, another report claims that the Reds are open to deals ‘if the price is right’.

Goncalo Inacio (Sporting CP) is another centre back who has been regularly linked, while Piero Hincapie (Leverkusen) and Leny Yoro (Lille) too have been touted as potential targets.

Anfield Watch understands that revamping the defence is the priority for the Reds in 2024, though a big-money arrival may be more likely in the summer.

Liverpool do have recent form for a January deal, despite Klopp’s comments, having signed Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo in the previous two years.

27th June 2018
Liverpool’s oldest Premier League players ever
Dominic Raynor

Egypt goalkeeper Essam El-Hadary made headlines across the globe on Monday when he became the oldest player to ever feature at a World Cup finals.

At 45 years and 161 days old, the Pharaohs goalkeeper broke the record of Colombia’s Faryd Mondragon (43 years and three days) and even rolled back the years to make a stunning penalty save.

El-Hadary’s heroics and Mohamed Salah’s opening goal couldn’t prevent Egypt losing 2-1 to Saudi Arabia, but the veteran’s exploits lit up social media and got us thinking about the experienced heads that have graced the Anfield pitch over the years.

So, as a bit of topical entertainment, we’ve put together an XI of the oldest ever players to turn out for the Reds in the Premier League.

Goalkeeper

Paul Jones (36 years, 247 days)

Remarkably, goalkeeper Paul Jones didn’t even make his Liverpool debut until he was 36.

Signed on loan from Southampton as emergency cover for injured duo Jerzy Dudek and Chris Kirkland, he played just two games for the Reds.

He became LFC’s oldest post-war debutant at 36 years and 240 days old when he kept a clean sheet against Aston Villa and then beat Bruce Grobbelaar’s record as the club’s most senior stopper by 138 days in his final game against Tottenham Hotspur.

Defenders

Sami Hyypia (35 years, 229 days)

‘Big Sami’ bid a tearful farewell to Anfield in May 2009 when he played the last of his 464 games for the club. Wearing the captain’s armband for the final five minutes of a 3-1 win against Tottenham, he was cheered off the pitch as he signed off at the age of 35 years and 229 days.

Among the finest centre-backs ever to wear a red shirt, he was one of the heroes of Istanbul in 2005 – adding the Champions League trophy to the UEFA Cup, League Cup and FA Cup he won during a decade at Liverpool.

Jamie Carragher (35 years, 111 days)

Carragher’s Liverpool journey began back in October 1996, when he signed professional terms following a successful apprenticeship, and ended 17 years and seven major trophies later.

The one-club centre-back Carragher ranks second on Liverpool’s all-time appearances list with 737 and was given a standing ovation in his final match against Queens Park Rangers at Anfield in May 2013, aged 35 years and 11 days old.

Kolo Toure (35 years, 33 days)

Signed from Manchester City in 2013 following the retirement of the Carragher, centre-back Kolo Toure became a hugely popular figure during his three-year spell with Liverpool.

Already in the ‘veteran’ bracket when he joined Brendan Rodgers’ side, his experienced head helped the club reach the Europa League final in 2016 – his final game for the club.

However, the Ivory Coast defender’s last Premier League match had come a week earlier when he was 35 years and 33 days old.

Mark Wright (34 years, 50 days)

Injury brought a premature end to Mark Wright’s football career but the centre-back did manage to play on until he was 34 years and 50 days old – playing his 210th and final match for the Reds in September 1997.

One of England’s best performers during the World Cup in 1990, Liverpool boss Graeme Souness had signed the centre-back to become Liverpool’s defensive lynchpin and he lifted the FA Cup as captain in 1992.

Midfielders

Gary McAllister (37 years, 136 days)

Cultured midfielder McAllister was already 35 years old when he signed for the Reds in 2000 and the Scot holds the record as Liverpool’s oldest ever Premier League player.

A few eyebrows were raised when Gerard Houllier initially snapped him up, but McAllister’s quality was instantly obvious and he was integral to winning the 2001 treble of FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup, playing in all three finals.

He featured in his final match for Liverpool – a 5-0 win over Ipswich at Anfield in May 2002 – at the age of 37 years and 136 days.

Steven Gerrard (34 years, 358 days)

Regarded by many as Liverpool’s finest ever player, Steven Gerrard called time on his 710-game Anfield career in May 2015 to take up a new challenge with Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS.

He was 34 years and 358 days old when he played his final match for the club and notched the last of his 186 goals.

An Academy graduate, Gerrard made his senior debut in 1998, was made club captain in 2003 and won virtually every trophy on offer during 17 remarkable years at his boyhood club.

John Barnes (33 years, 185 days)

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish paid £900,000 to bring John Barnes to Anfield in 1987 and the England international swept up four trophies – including two league titles – and the 1988 PFA Player of the Year award during a decade at Anfield.

A gracefully devastating left winger during his heyday, Barnes was moved infield as an intelligent playmaker in his later years and played his final game for Liverpool, against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough in May 1997, at the age of 33 years and 185 days old.

Strikers

Ian Rush (34 years, 197 days)

Liverpool’s all-time leading goalscorer Ian Rush netted 346 times in 660 games over two stints at the club, with his final goal coming in his final Premier League game for the Reds in May 1996.

Handed the captain’s armband by manager Roy Evans, Rush fired home aged 34 years and 197 days to secure a 2-2 draw against Manchester City at Maine Road.

Rickie Lambert (33 years, 96 days)

England international Lambert flourished relatively late in his career and completed a dream move to boyhood club Liverpool aged 32 following a fairytale rise through the English leagues and selection for the 2014 World Cup.

The Scouse striker, who had been at the Reds’ Academy as a youngster but was released at 15 years old, made 36 appearances in his single season with the Reds, bowing out in the same game as Steven Gerrard, aged 33 years and 96 days old.

Craig Bellamy (32 years, 305 days)

Never one to settle down, fiery forward Craig Bellamy enjoyed two spells as a Liverpool player.

The first, from 2006 to 2007, when he scored and set up John Arne Riise in a 2-1 Champions League success over reigning European champions Barcelona at Camp Nou, and the second from 2011 to 2012, when he scored a semi-final winner en route to lifting the League Cup.

He clocked up the last of his 79 appearances for the Reds against Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium, aged 32 years and 305 days old.

Analysis Articles Feature Manchester City News Premier League Transfer Story
Report – Liverpool move to sign £45million star – Club prepared to sell
December 19, 2023 Sahil 1 Comment newsnow
Liverpool have been linked with England international, Kalvin Phillips, for quite some time and once again, the Manchester City midfielder is in the focus.

Back in April, the Reds were looking to make an offer to sign the Three Lions regista but he is still with the Sky Blues.

News – Record – Liverpool want signing of £60.2m midfielder – Contact already made

In November, we covered a report (via Football Insider) claiming the Merseysdiers are lining up a move to lure the former Leeds United star from the Cityzens.

Now, Calcio Mercato have claimed that Man City are prepared to sell Phillips but mainly want to offload him outside of the Premier League.

In Italy, Juventus are showing interest, on the other hand, in England, Newcastle United have concrete interest and Liverpool have moved into the race in the ‘last few hours’.

Phillips was a superstar for Leeds United and became an important player for the senior national side as well. However, he has mainly been a bench warmer at the Etihad under the management of Pep Guardiola.

In the current campaign, the 28-year-old star is yet to start a fixture in the Premier League and has only started once in the Champions League.

With Rodri available as the main CDM, it is highly unlikely the situation will change for the 31-capped international and therefore, Man City are ready to sell him,

As per a report covered by The Star earlier this month, Phillips is valued at £45million.

Jurgen Klopp needs to adequately strengthen the No.6 position at Anfield as Endo has not settled well, Thiago will be out of contract in summer and Bajcetic is injury prone.

In your view, should Liverpool bid £45million to sign Kalvin Phillips?

One thought on “Report – Liverpool move to sign £45million star – Club prepared to sell”

There is a reason Pep has not started Phillips more often, that is he is not good enough, he in my view is over rated…if given the alternative of three potential signings being Andre’, Gallagher or Phillips…I would place them in that oder 1. Andre’, 2. Gallagher, 3. Someone other than Phillips maybe Palhinha (who I believe is overpriced – just as is Phillips).

Liverpool hatch clear January transfer plan after private talks between Jurgen Klopp and FSG

Liverpool are open to making a move for a defender in the January transfer window, despite Jurgen Klopp ruling such a scenario out a few weeks ago.

The Reds have lost Joel Matip to a season-ending ACL injury, with Klopp facing up to a lack of depth at centre-back. That injury dealt a blow to Liverpool’s hopes of winning the Premier League, with the Reds well in the title race despite Sunday’s draw with Manchester United.

Even though a defender and a new midfielder would seriously boost their hopes of finishing top, Liverpool are not expected to be busy in the winter window. Klopp has consistently played down suggestions that he will be making several moves.

But according to the Daily Mail, the club will be ‘alert to opportunities’ and will make moves if the price is right. Liverpool’s transfer chiefs held a meeting last week to discuss how to approach the January window.

Their plans will depend on which teams have progressed in Europe, with any club dropping out at the group stage likely to be more willing to do deals. The Portugese Primeira Liga is one market that Liverpool are ready to explore.

Goncalo Inacio is one potential option, though he has a release clause of more than £50million. Arsenal are also keen on the Sporting star, with Liverpool also eyeing a potential deal for Porto’s David Carmo.

Elsewhere in Europe, Maxence Lacroix and Lloyd Kelly have been touted, though there are doubts over either player is suitable. The Reds are said to be planning to make a cheap or short-term deal for a defender in January, rather than make a signing for the long-term.

Despite the injury to Alexis Mac Allister, the central midfield position is unlikely to be boosted next month. Liverpool are now heading into the hectic festive period, with Klopp hinting at concerns about the depth of his squad following the draw with United.

“It’s December, it’s the toughest period of the year. Everybody has to get through it somehow, everybody has to dig really deep to get through it. When you are in the cup competitions still then that makes life not easier,” he said.

“I am not nervous or whatever because we didn’t win today or stuff like this, but we all have to learn again to deal with the situation. It’s like nobody expected us there, I didn’t think about it. I thought it was possible, but didn’t really think about it.

“We have our injuries as well – nobody speaks about our injuries, but we still have them and it doesn’t help, especially with the amount of games. It will be really tough. My boys for me today looked like they are really ready just to give it a proper try.”

John Aldridge says 23-year-old Liverpool player is having a torrid time right now

Jordan Harris
Tue 19 December 2023 7:55, UK
John Aldridge has expressed his concern for Dominik Szoboszlai, claiming that the Liverpool midfielder’s form has dipped dramatically in recent weeks.

Dominik Szoboszlai appeared to be an unbelievable signing for the Reds. Liverpool were the one side prepared to trigger Szoboszlai’s release clause in the summer despite there being plenty of interest.

And that decision initially appeared to be a masterstroke. Szoboszlai was one of the best players in the Premier League in the opening weeks of the campaign.

However, the 23-year-old has found the going much tougher lately.

Jamie Carragher noted that Szoboszlai was so sloppy during the first-half as Liverpool played out a goalless draw with Manchester United at the weekend.

Of course, the Hungarian was not the only one to really struggle against Erik ten Hag’s side. Darwin Nunez was another who had a tough time.

And while discussing Nunez in the Liverpool Echo, John Aldridge noted that he is worried about Szoboszlai’s recent performances.

MORE LIVERPOOL STORIES
“I have previously said I don’t think the way we play is necessarily suited to [Nunez’s] style, but I do hope he has a long-term future at the club. It’s not only Nunez who doesn’t look right, Dominik Szoboszlai is having a torrid time at present. He started the season in remarkable style but his form has dipped badly of late,” he wrote.

Reds fans still waiting to see if side will kick on this season
It does feel as though Liverpool’s season could go either way. Heading into the weekend, Jurgen Klopp’s men were top of the table. And yet, they had been nowhere near the most impressive side in the league.

That could either mean that they do fall back at some stage, or that they could be absolutely devastating when everything clicks.

Mohamed Salah has been sensational this season. Meanwhile, the likes of Szoboszlai and Nunez have hugely bright futures ahead of them.

But their recent form does act as a reminder that some of the younger players are not the finished articles just yet.

It’s now ten games without a goal for Darwin Nunez in a Liverpool shirt.

I expressed my concerns over his inability to stay onside last week and we saw the same problem playing out once again at Anfield during the Manchester United match.

My biggest problem with Nunez was not this, though, but rather the chance he had after Luis Diaz saw a shot saved by Onana and, instead of shooting, he stopped to appeal for a penalty. That was just an absolutely crazy thing to do in that position. You have got to play to the whistle, that’s one of the first things you are told as a footballer growing up.

Nunez’s liveliest moment of the match was when he got a booking from the referee, which is not great when you are the man leading the line and expected to deliver big moments. He has zero confidence at the moment and is in desperate need of a goal.

I have previously said I don’t think the way we play is necessarily suited to his style, but I do hope he has a long-term future at the club. It’s not only Nunez who doesn’t look right, Dominik Szoboszlai is having a torrid time at present. He started the season in remarkable style but his form has dipped badly of late.

Anfield atmosphere needs to improve

Sunday’s atmosphere at Anfield was poor, there’s no getting away from that.

It was great in the first five or ten minutes of the match, but it just died shortly afterwards. Sometimes you get noise from the fans when the performance gives you a reason to shout, but that shouldn’t be the case. You’ve got to be up for it regardless of what’s happening on the pitch.

We’ve got two massive home games coming up this week against West Ham and Arsenal and we need everyone in the ground to play their part. There are always goals in the latter fixture, so I expect it will be a lively encounter at Anfield.
