With Julen Lopetegui recently making a surprise departure from his job as Wolves manager just before the start of the season, it’s perhaps not too surprising that someone like Nunes may now be facing a less certain future. According to Anfield Watch, Liverpool are now considering going back in for Nunes after missing out on the signings of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia. Nunes has impressed at Wolves and could be a good option for Jurgen Klopp’s side after so many departures in midfield this summer, with Jordan Henderson and Fabinho being surprisingly sold to Saudi Arabia, while Naby Keita, James Milner and…
The Belgian appeared to be odds on to make a permanent move to Inter Milan after a loan spell there which saw the club reach the Champions League final. He had been transferred to Inter on a permanent deal before of course, leaving Man United in 2019 and going on to win the Scudetto with the nerazzurri. However, negotiations with Juventus came to light which prompted Inter to withdraw any offer for the player, leaving Lukaku with only a couple of options. A deal to Juve is dependent on what happens with Dusan Vlahovic, and it’s believed that the Saudi…
La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write that Armando Broja – who made his first-team debut with Chelsea March 2020, replacing Giroud – and Hugo Ekitike are two of the players who stand out above all. Milan have their eyes on both, while thinking about the future of Lorenzo Colombo, who is sought by Cagliari and Genoa on loan. If he were to leave, then the management are ready to sign another striker. Broja is the profile in pole position and Milan have already begun talks with Chelsea, receiving a negative response for now. Mauricio Pochettino is waiting before letting…
Liverpool are preparing a curious move in the wake of losing out on two huge midfield targets. The Reds were beaten to the punch of Moises Caicedo by Chelsea, who took a swipe at their rivals with the line, “It’s only ever been Chelsea” in the Ecuadorian’s announcement video. Caicedo was heavily linked with Liverpool, but has since told the Blues’ official site that he grew up idolising Claude Makelele among others. According to Football Insider, Jurgen Klopp has not abandoned plans to bring in another defender, with Portuguese star Goncalo Inacio high on the radar. The Sporting star has a release clause of £39m and can play…
Liverpool’s desperate serach for a defensive midfielder continues after a hectic couple of days. Yesterday, Chelsea announced the signing of Caicedo and now, they have also agreed terms to lure Anfield target, Romeo Lavia. As per today’s version of The Daily Mail, Lavia agreed terms with the Blues on Monday and in the coming days, a deal worth £50m+ will be finalized with Southampton. The news source have mentioned that the Merseysiders feel they were played by Caicedo and to make matters worse, they are not going to get Lavia either. Jurgen Klopp’s men were lucky to get a point at…
This season has seen the introduction of measures to try to keep the ball in play for a greater proportion of matches, with significant increases in added time seen over the Premier League’s opening weekend. It is hoped that adding on time to reflect the length of pauses to the game will deter players from delaying the restart of play. But Klopp believes the yellow card shown to Alexander-Arnold in the 67th minute at Stamford Bridge whilst the score was 1-1 was unfair since the defender was looking for a player to throw the ball to. “I think last season…
That’s according to Fabrizio Romano in the latest edition of his exclusive CaughtOffside column, with the reporter explaining that Liverpool never quite reached an agreement with Southampton over Lavia as they knew Chelsea were his preferred destination. Liverpool will now look for alternatives in the middle of the park, according to Romano, with the Reds still keeping tabs on both Kone and Thuram after links with the pair earlier in the summer. Thuram has impressed in Ligue 1 with Nice, while Kone has made a name for himself in Germany with Borussia Monchengladbach, though recently had a spell out with an injury. LFC…
Hello and welcome to our dedicated Liverpool live blog for Tuesday, August 15. Liverpool were handed a double blow on Monday in the transfer market. First it was via reports of Romeo Lavia’s preference to join Chelsea, and later it was through the London club’s announcement of the signing of Moises Caicedo. Snubs from two midfield targets hand the Reds a major problem heading into the final weeks of the transfer window with an answer seemingly to be plucked from thin air. Tyler Adams, one of the few remaining available defensive midfielders in the Premier League, could be targeted though…
A hard-fought Premier League opener at Stamford Bridge ended level after Luis Diaz’s 18th-minute strike was equalised before the break by Axel Disasi. Both sides also had an effort ruled out for offside in the first half, and the second period passed without any further amends to the scoresheet. Van Dijk, who captained the Reds for the first time in a competitive encounter, felt it was a game that ultimately could have gone either way. And the No.4 pledged Liverpool will be hard at work to step up their performance ahead of Saturday’s Anfield meeting with AFC Bournemouth. “Lively,” he…
Bayern Munich have rejected an initial offer from Manchester United for defender Benjamin Pavard. According to Sports BILD, the Red Devils are currently in advanced talks with West Ham United over the sale of Harry Maguire. While the centre-back is yet to agree on personal terms with the Hammers, a deal is highly tipped to be reached in the coming days. SportBILD reports that they have made an opening transfer offer to sign Pavard from the German champions. The proposal has been rejected by Bayern, but United could return with a fresh bid. The Red Devils face competition from Liverpool.…
