TESTED AND CONFIRMED ✅️ Fabrizio Romano has issued a major update on Liverpool’s £160m January target.

All set’ – Fabrizio Romano has issued a major update on Liverpool’s £30m January target.

While Liverpool’s focus is beginning to shift to recruiting in other areas of the squad, their midfield situation remains one-eyed. Jurgen Klopp brought four new players into his engine room after the summer outing, but replacing Fabinho proved more difficult than first thought.

Having missed out on signing long-term summer target Roméo Lavian from Southampton, the Reds had to hit the market for a new No.6. Liverpool were able to bring in Wataru Endō, but he is still not a solid option for Klopp.

The Japanese made five major league appearances this season but started only one of them. Alexis Mac Allister has filled in for now, but new names are known and Liverpool could make a move in January.

One name that has fallen off the radar is André de Fluminense. The Reds wanted to sign him in the summer, but the Brazilian outfit made it clear he was not for sale as they needed him for the Copa Libertadores, which they have now reached the final.

Fabrizio Romano has given an update on André and believes that although it is possible that he will leave in the new year, Fluminense may decide to negotiate new terms with the midfielder.

“I think there could be an opportunity for him to move in 2024, but we’ll see what happens in the negotiations with Fluminense,” Romano wrote to The Daily Briefing (h/t FootballTalk). “It won’t be easy because they are always strong in negotiations. But André is absolutely ready for the next step – he is very talented and has a great mentality.

André’s current deal runs until 2026 and recent reports have called for a £30million move that has attracted Liverpool’s Premier League rivals Arsenal. There could be a bidding war in January if both sides still want to take him to England.

Darwin Nunez has enjoyed a great international break with two goals, an assist and he can seemingly add hugely frustrating Gabriel Magalhaes to that list now as well!

The Arsenal defender made it his mission to try and frustrate our No.9 and attempt to keep him quiet, watching the action from the second goal of the match shows how well this went.

Footage from the game shows the Brazilian clearly trying to goad our forward but instead of getting dragged into the petty games, the 24-year-old simply laughed it off.

It’s a great sign of the growing maturity from the former Benfica man and let’s hope that we can continue to reap the rewards of his hard work.

FA reveal Liverpool letters over Curtis Jones red card – ‘inappropriate’ use of VAR
October 18, 2023
Joanna Durkan
Curtis Jones is currently serving a three-match ban after a yellow card at Tottenham was upgraded to a red after VAR intervention, which Liverpool argued was ‘inappropriate’.

Jones is one match into his three-game ban and will not return for domestic action until the trip to Bournemouth in the League Cup at the start of next month.

His challenge on Tottenham‘s Yves Bissouma was upgraded from a yellow card to a red after referee Simon Hooper was advised to consult the pitch-side monitor.

Hooper was instantly shown a freeze frame of the worst possible angle of Jones’ challenge, and Liverpool subsequently submitted an appeal.

The club’s argument was two-fold, as revealed by the FA.

First, the club submitted that Jones’ red should be rescinded due to the referee making an “obvious error,” with their next argument being that the “three game ban is ‘clearly excessive’.”

The commission presiding over the case were “unanimous in deciding the player clearly endangered the safety of his opponent” and that referee “had not made a clear and obvious error.”

But to Liverpool, and the Reds faithful, there were faults with the use of VAR, which the club said: “Was not appropriate and has pushed the referee to arrive at a decision which he should not have.”

Liverpool cited that there was “no ‘clear and obvious error’” with the initial on-field decision of a yellow card and reiterated that the technology is “not intended to re-referee” the match.

The panel “acknowledged” the argument but, unsurprisingly, moved on with the case, which was Liverpool’s argument that three games was an excessive ban.

Liverpool cited that Jones made “a genuine attempt to get the ball fairly,” there was no injury to Bissouma and that the club and player had already “suffered a significant impact” after playing over 70 minutes with 10 men and losing the match.

This, again, was rejected as “no truly exceptional circumstances existed within this case” – though, many fans will point to the lack of consistency after seeing Man City‘s Mateo Kovacic escape a red for a challenge worse than Jones’.

As for Jones’ view of the challenge, his statement said: “My sole intention was to touch the ball away from my opponent and into the path of my team mate, Luis Diaz who I could see to my left hand side.

“I did not consider myself as challenging an opponent for the ball as I felt I had possession of the ball and was trying to move the ball to stop my opponent gaining control.”
