Robbie Savage has asked Liverpool, if they wanted Moises Caicedo so badly: “Why did you wait so long to make a move?” The Reds emerged from nowhere earlier this week to launch a British record £115 million bid for the Ecuadorian midfielder. Chelsea had been tracking the then Brighton star for much of the transfer window, but looked set to be gazumped by the rival Anfield bid. However, despite the Seagulls accepting the offer, Caicedo made clear he only wanted to join Chelsea, allowing the Blues to counter their offer and ultimately strike an agreement. It was a humbling blow for Jurgen Klopp, whose frustration was…
Liverpool phones tend to be some of the quietest as the transfer window draws to a conclusion. There were a few late calls exchanged last summer as a hasty loan for Arthur Melo was put together, but permanent business had been concluded well over a month prior. It’s a different landscape this year. In his press conference, Jürgen Klopp confirmed that ‘everything is possible’ in terms of more incoming business, with Liverpool still set to ‘look’ in the market. The arrival of Wataru Endo perhaps reduces the urgency of that search, but it would be a surprise if business finished…
Liverpool is expected to announce the signing of Japan captain Wataru Endo from Stuttgart shortly, after the player underwent medical tests, but the 30-year-old cannot be the only addition before the end of the window. Jürgen Klopp and Jörg Schmadtke will need to find more solutions to fix up the Reds’ squad, with there being fairly strong arguments for signing another midfielder on top of Endo and at least one defender as well. There are now only 14 days before the transfer deadline arrives, meaning that Liverpool will need to continue to work quickly having missed out on Moisés Caicedo…
Liverpool spent weeks chasing Lavia, seeing three bids rejected for the Belgian before turning to Caicedo, for whom a £111m fee was agreed with Brighton & Hove Albion. Caicedo rejected the move to Anfield and ultimately forced through a move to Chelsea, who then ended up signing Lavia anyway even though Liverpool had voiced a willingness to match the Blues’ final bid. Chelsea made sure to highlight that both players had specifically chosen Stamford Bridge as their new homes during their official unveilings. As for Liverpool, they went on to complete a shock move for 30-year-old Japan international Wataru Endo from Stuttgart, and Klopp…
A report from L’Equipe claims that Liverpool are keeping tabs on the 23-year-old defender and it remains to be seen whether they decide to come forward with a concrete proposal to sign in. Theate has been a key player for Rennes and he has the ability to do well in the Premier League as well. Liverpool are looking to bring in a versatile central defender who can operate as a full-back as well and Theate would be the ideal option for them. The 23-year-old Belgian can operate as a central defender as well as a left-back. The Reds looked vulnerable…
Liverpool looked poised to sign Caicedo after a agreeing a record fee with Brighton, only for the defensive midfielder to turn them down and join Chelsea instead for £115million. To add insult to injury, long-time target Lavia also snubbed the Reds for the Blues, moving from Southampton to Stamford Bridge for £58m. In the end, Liverpool have signed a new defensive midfielder in the form of Wataru Endo, though many fans would have undoubtedly preferred one of the other top targets. But Klopp naturally tried to play down the matter in his pre-match press conference on Friday ahead of the clash against Bournemouth,…
Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Japan midfielder Wataru Endo from Stuttgart, subject to a work permit and international clearance. The 30-year-old Japan international has signed a four-year contract which will keep him at Anfield until 2027, in a deal worth £16.2m. Endo, who arrives on Merseyside after four seasons at Stuttgart, where he made 133 appearances and scored 15 goals, told the club’s website: “I’m very happy right now and I’m so excited to join a big club in Liverpool. “It feels amazing and this is my dream. It’s always [been] a dream to play [in the] Premier League…
A report from Fussball Transfers claims that Liverpool are looking to bring in a left-footed central defender and the Ecuadorian international has popped up on their radar. Liverpool were looking at Micky van de Ven before he joined Tottenham Hotspur and they were keeping tabs on Castello Lukeba as well. It will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for Hincapie in the near future. The 21-year-old central defender has been an important player for the Bundesliga side and he could be a key player for Liverpool in the coming season. Hincapie is highly talented and…
Liverpool have already got the ball rolling with regards to their second midfielder search of the summer. It seems like ages ago that the Reds signed Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai to cover for the free agents leaving. Then, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho left Anfield, and Liverpool had to restart their search once again. The Reds fell short in their pursuit of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, but are now reportedly closing in on Wataru Endo. Chances are, Liverpool won’t be done there. The Reds will likely pursue at least one more reinforcement in the middle of the park.…
Liverpool are reportedly keen to sign Aston Villa midfielder Boubacar Kamara ‘more than ever’ as they look to complete their midfield rebuild. Jurgen Klopp has completely reshuffled his ranks in that department, and Villa’s No 44 is seen as the final piece of the puzzle at Anfield. After allowing James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to depart at the end of last season, new midfielders were top of the shortlist in Merseyside. Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai were acquired as replacements, though the departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho mean that Liverpool are still in the market. Moises…
