Liverpool have made a shock move for Japan international captain Wataru Endo of Stuttgart as they race to bring in a proven defensive midfielder before the transfer window closes. The Reds have made contact over the availability of the 30-year-old, who was regarded among the best in his position in the Bundesliga last season. The player has been granted permission by Stuttgart to talk with Liverpool. Endo – who can also play centre-back – is in the final year of his contract and is unlikely to command a significant fee, with Liverpool sporting director Jorg Schmadtke having used his contacts…
The Japanese international has one year reaming on his current contract in Germany and negotiations are currently ongoing between the two clubs to bring the midfielder to Anfield. Fabrizio Romano reports that the player wants to make the transfer happen in what is a surprising move from the Merseyside club. Jurgen Klopp’s side are interested in strengthening their midfield after being unable to sign Moises Caicedo or Romeo Lavia over the last week as both chose to move to Chelsea. The Independent reported on the Reds’ interest in Crystal Palace midfielder Cheick Doucoure on Wednesday and many Liverpool fans thought this was…
On Monday Chelsea completed the signing of Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo for a British-record fee of £115million on an eight-year contract. The Blues will pay an initial £100million, plus a further £15million in performance-related add-ons. The signing brought an end to a lengthy transfer saga involving Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal at various points across the past eight months. Indeed, Liverpool agreed to a £111million deal to sign Caicedo last week, only for the move to fall through when the 21-year-old informed them he intended to join Chelsea. Caicedo had been expected to travel to Liverpool for a medical on Friday after the Merseyside club had a…
Caicedo completed his £115 million move from Brighton to Chelsea on Monday, putting pen to paper on an eight-year contract at Stamford Bridge. The 21-year-old snubbed Premier League rivals Liverpool in the process, confirming that he only wanted to join Chelsea despite having a medical scheduled with the Merseyside outfit. The Blues have since confirmed that he will wear the No. 25 shirt, just as he did for Brighton, famously last worn by Gianfranco Zola at Chelsea. Caicedo explained that he spoke with Zola recently to ask for the Italian’s permission to take the shirt. Chelsea make Moises Caicedo error on club website after confirming…
24 players trained on Wednesday as the squad gear up for the first home game of the season against Bournemouth. Liverpool opened their Premier League account for 2023/24 with a hard-fought 1-1 draw away at Chelsea and will be looking to get their first win of the season on Saturday afternoon. Among those pictured in the latest session was Thiago, who has been out of action since April with a hip injury and did not travel with the squad to Singapore. The Spaniard is edging closer to a return to fitness and was involved in the preparations for Chelsea, but he was not joined by compatriot Stefan…
When Liverpool signed Andy Robertson from relegated Hull City, few could have predicted the rapid trajectory he would have under Jürgen Klopp. Within a short space of time, it became obvious that Liverpool didn’t just find under-the-radar value in the Scotsman but also the potential to be one of the best in the world. The rest is history. Robertson has become a staple of Liverpool’s success over the years, and it’s difficult to imagine the left side of the Reds’ defense without him. But every era must ultimately come to an end, and sooner or later, so will Robertson’s. Liverpool…
According to Sacha Tavolieri, who first stated the Reds’ interest in the Portugal international towards the end of July, Palhinha is still part of the midfield options for Jurgen Klopp’s squad. Tavolieri also reported in July that Liverpool were the club most keen on his signature, that was before the whirlwind of Lavia news began to heat up, but the Cottagers’ main man is now back in the frame for an Anfield switch. Having signed for Fulham for just £20million last season, Marco Silva’s side would now require £60million if he was depart, meaning they would triple their money after just…
The Liverpool centre-back sent love heart emojis to his fellow countryman on Instagram in support of this gut-wrenching news. Jurrien Timber was a major signing for Arsenal this summer and he had made a quite stunning impact, both in pre-season and during their Community Shield win over Manchester City – it earned him rave reviews. But in the second half of Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest over the weekend, he was forced off injured, only to find that he has now ‘sustained an injury to his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee’, as the club posted on their Instagram.…
The Reds spent weeks negotiating with Southampton over a possible deal for Romeo Lavia but felt the valuation placed on the 19-year-old was ultimately too high, so walked away. They quickly pivoted their interest to Moises Caicedo and agreed a British record fee for the midfielder only for the 21-year-old to opt for a move to Chelsea. So now, with the season underway and the transfer window edging to its close, Jurgen Klopp finds himself without a defensive midfielder and the pool of options is shrinking by the day. The important thing though is that there are still options out there. According…
Liverpool are ‘stepping up’ their efforts to sign a midfielder with Premier League experience after being dealt two major transfer blows. The Reds have been looking for a No.6 to bolster their squad – after they sold Fabinho earlier in the window. However, over the past couple of days, Liverpool have missed out on Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia – who have both moved to Chelsea. The report suggests that Doucoure is Klopp’s main target, but he could cost Liverpool around £60million. And Palace might not be keen to sell – as the Eagles are wary of losing too many players this summer. However,…
