Just when Liverpool thought things couldn’t get any worse, it appears that Chelsea are going to gazump them on the Romeo Lavia deal as well as Moises Caicedo. For the latter, it seems that the Reds can’t really do too much about it. After having a British record bid submitted by Brighton and Hove Albion, the player apparently professed a personal preference of only wishing to sign for the Blues. Whilst that may have left Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool’s owners seething, it’s absolutely Caicedo’s prerogative to move to whichever club he chooses. At the time of writing, Chelsea haven’t actually…
Thiago has spent pre-season recovering from hip surgery and he is not expected to return before the end of this month, while Bajcetic was also absent from pre-season as he continues to recover from an adductor operation at the end of last season. Jurgen Klopp has overseen a major midfield overhaul this summer and new recruits Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai are in contention to make their debuts for the Reds on Sunday, with the duo set to be joined in the middle of the pitch by either Curtis Jones or Harvey Elliott. Trent Alexander-Arnold has been tested in…
After coming 12th in the last campaign, it is going to be hard for Chelsea to be any worse. They also now have an exceptional manager at the helm in Mauricio Pochettino. Nevertheless, Antonio does not think that the Blues have enough to make a return to the top four. On Pochettino’s side, he said: “I feel like it’s going to be fifth or sixth place this year, to build on for next year.” Where will Chelsea finish this season? Manchester City and Arsenal are the top two teams in the country. Right now, you would probably have to back…
Caicedo’s transfer dilemma rages on as the midfielder rejects the opportunity to join Liverpool despite the club striking a lucrative deal with Brighton. Caicedo was scheduled to go to Merseyside for a physical when Liverpool and Brighton reached a British-record deal of £110 million for the player. He favours a transition to the Stamford Bridge team, therefore he was having second thoughts about a move to Liverpool this morning. Chelsea is prepared to make another offer in an effort to secure a deal for the Ecuadorian after having their previous offers turned down by Brighton. He wrote, “110M is an…
Manchester City are reportedly looking to make a move for a Belgian forward who has drawn comparisons with Eden Hazard. With Riyad Mahrez joining Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli for £30m this summer, Manchester City have been left trying to find a replacement right-winger as they head into the new season. Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise has been strongly linked in recent weeks, but it seems Pep Guardiola is keen on signing an alternative forward from elsewhere in Europe. According to The Telegraph, Manchester City are in talks to sign Jeremy Doku from Ligue 1 side Rennes. The report suggests that Rennes values Doku between…
WHAT HAPPENED? Despite the Brazilian having reportedly agreed a six-year contract with the Manchester club, Moyes told press ahead of Saturday’s trip to Bournemouth that City’s bid had been rejected. WHAT THEY SAID: “We’ve had an offer from Manchester City, but at the moment it’s not anywhere near meeting our valuation” said the Scotsman. THE BIGGER PICTURE: City’s bid is believed to be in the region of around £74m (€85m/$93m) plus add ons. West Ham’s valuation is reported to be in the region of around £95m (€110m/$121m) with no bonus clauses. Having extracted a handsome fee for their captain Declan…
The defensive midfielder only joined Arsenal in January, completing a shock, deadline day move from rivals Chelsea for a fee of £12million. It was felt however that the Italian international was always going to be a short-term solution with Mikel Arteta expected to bring in a new player in his position come the summer. And that is exactly what happened with Declan Rice signing from West Ham for a club record £105m. With Rice and Thomas Partey ahead of him in the pecking order, and with just a year left on his contract, there has bene speculation that Jorginho could move on…
The Reds had a £111million bid for the midfielder accepted on Thursday night. Caicedo was due in the north-west on Friday to complete a medical with Liverpool. However, the Ecuador international was having second thoughts over a move to Liverpool this morning. Fabrizio Romano says the 21-year-old has now informed Liverpool that he only wants to join Chelsea. It means the saga has taken another astonishing twist, with the ball back in Chelsea’s court. As far as Brighton are concerned, little has changed as they accepted the largest bid. Chelsea will now have to match Liverpool’s bid to get the…
Liverpool’s pursuit of Moisés Caicedo has taken another intriguing turn with the midfielder reportedly preferring a move to Chelsea. The Reds had reached a club-record fee agreement with Brighton, paving the way for Caicedo’s move to Anfield. However, recent reports, from Fabrizio Romano among others, suggest that the Ecuadorean player may be having second thoughts about joining Liverpool, with Chelsea confident of outbidding its rival. Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino refused to comment directly on his side’s interest in Caicedo during a press conference on Friday ahead of the Premier League clash between the two clubs at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.…
