Leeds United could be set to part ways with Japanese international Ao Tanaka this summer, as the club adopts an open-minded stance regarding the midfielder’s future.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, the 27-year-old has emerged as a primary target for several German clubs, with Leeds reportedly willing to consider bids if the right valuation is met.

German clubs showing interest in Ao Tanaka

A return to Germany appears the most likely destination for Tanaka, where his reputation remains high following his successful stint in the 2. Bundesliga.

The interest is currently being led by Schalke 04 and Hannover 96, two historic sides currently embroiled in a fierce promotion race.

Schalke sit at the top of the 2. Bundesliga with 52 points, while Hannover are in fifth place, just three points off the automatic promotion spots.

Both clubs view Tanaka as a ready-made option to bolster their squads should they secure a return to the top flight.

Additionally, Union Berlin are said to have “tentative” interest, viewing the Japanese enforcer as a potential squad-depth option for their midfield.

Tanaka has struggled at Leeds United this season

Despite being a fan favorite during the promotion charge, Tanaka has struggled to maintain his influence in the Premier League.

Tanaka arrived at Elland Road last summer for a bargain £2.9 million from Fortuna Düsseldorf and was an instrumental figure in the club’s Championship-winning campaign.

However, since the Whites returned to the Premier League, the midfielder has found himself on the fringes of Daniel Farke’s starting XI, courtesy of injuries and a dip in form.

This season he has been limited to just seven starts, often appearing as a late-game substitute.

Statistically, his output has cooled significantly; he has managed just two goals and zero assists in 26 total appearances this campaign.

While earlier reports suggester that Leeds United don’t plan on sanctioning an exit for Tanaka, it now appears that the club may look to capitalise on the interest in the Japanese international.

Leicester City are reportedly ready to sacrifice star winger Abdul Fatawu this summer as the club grapples with a deepening financial crisis and a potential slide toward League One.

According to The Telegraph, the Foxes intend to maintain their long-standing model of selling at least one marquee player per window to balance the books.

Despite being a bright spark in an otherwise dismal campaign, Fatawu is increasingly viewed as the club’s most prized asset.

With Leicester recently announcing staggering annual losses of £71 million, the hierarchy has privately conceded that high-value sales are a necessity to ensure long-term stability.

Leicester expected to sell Abdul Fatawu amid financial struggles

The financial pressure on the King Power hierarchy is immense. The club is currently navigating its second stint in the Championship in three seasons and sits dangerously in 22nd place, just above the relegation.

Falling into the third tier would trigger further loss of revenue, making Fatawu’s departure almost inevitable.

Fatawu, who joined permanently from Sporting CP for €17 million last summer, represents a significant return on investment.

With his contract running until 2029, Leicester are in a strong position to demand a fee that could exceed €30 million, providing vital relief for their strained balance sheet.

Abdul Fatawu wanted by top clubs including Napoli

The 22-year-old’s individual form has not gone unnoticed by Europe’s elite. Napoli have emerged as the primary suitors, with reports suggesting the Serie A giants are preparing a €25 million opening bid.

The Italian side views the Ghanaian international as a priority target to add pace and directness to their wide areas next season.

Fatawu’s numbers this season, 9 goals and 7 assists in 38 games, have made him one of the most productive wingers in the Championship.

While several Premier League sides are also monitoring his situation, a move to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona would represent a significant step up, offering the young star a chance to return to the Champions League stage.

Former Borussia Dortmund captain Marco Reus has publicly advised Jadon Sancho to snub a permanent move to the Premier League in favor of a return to the Westfalenstadion.

Sancho, currently on a season-long loan at Aston Villa from Manchester United, faces a defining summer as his contract at Old Trafford approaches its final months.

Despite showing flashes of his immense talent under Unai Emery, Sancho has struggled for consistent output in the Midlands, registering just one goal and three assists in 31 appearances across all competitions.

With his contract with Manchester United set to expire in the summer, Reus has backed his former teammate to return to Dortmund to save his career.

Marco Reus advises Jadon Sancho to return to Borussia Dortmund

Speaking to the German newspaper Bild, Reus, who shared a prolific partnership with Sancho between 2017 and 2021, insisted that emotional comfort is now more important than financial gain for the winger.

He said: “My advice to Jadon is to first and foremost look for a place where he feels comfortable again and can rediscover his game. And if that’s at BVB, then it would be good for both him and Dortmund! He knows what the game needs.”

Reus also praised Sancho, adding:

“I have rarely played with a player who instinctively made such good decisions in tight situations. He was sometimes quiet and introspective, but he still radiated good humour.

“Apart from his assists and goals, he knows what the game needs and what his teammates need. He is a player who draws two or three opponents to him and can accurately assess when to involve his teammates at the right moments.”

Dortmund are keen on re-signing Reus

The interest is not one-sided. Reports from Germany suggest that Dortmund are keen on bringing Sancho back for a third stint, though it would come with strict conditions.

The best period of Sancho’s career has been with the German giants, where he scored 53 goals and assisted another 67 in 158 games across all competitions.

He struggled to replicate his form in the Premier League despite having played with three different clubs, Chelsea, Manchester United and Aston Villa.

While Villa have not fully shut down a potential permanent transfer, perhaps a return to Germany would be the best option for Sancho to revive his career.

Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown has been linked with a move away from the German club in recent months.

According to a report from FussballDaten, the 22-year-old is a target for Premier League clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City. Scouts from all four clubs have been looking at the player extensively, and Manchester United, in particular, are very keen on him as a long-term replacement for Luke Shaw.

Nathaniel Brown is a player in demand

In Spain, Real Madrid and Barcelona are also monitoring his development. It remains to be seen in which of these clubs follow up on their interest with an official offer to get the deal done. The player could cost around €55 million.

He has proven his quality in Germany, and he has the technical attributes to succeed in the Premier League as well.

Frankfurt are open to selling the player, and they plan to invest the proceeds from his departure to improve the squad in multiple areas. Even though they are worried about losing him, they believe that he will fetch a substantial transfer fee for them.

Brown is regarded as the “next superstar” from the Bundesliga.

Liverpool or Man United move is ideal for Brown

Arsenal and Manchester City already have multiple options in the left-back department, and it would be quite surprising if they decided to move for the player. A transfer to Liverpool or Manchester United would be ideal for the player. Liverpool needs a long-term replacement for Andrew Robertson, and the German would be the ideal acquisition.

He has proven himself to be a capable performer at both ends of the pitch, and he would be an asset for Liverpool if they manage to sign him.

Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United are interested in signing Murillo from Nottingham Forest in the summer.

According to a report from TeamTalk, Liverpool has scouted him extensively and is prepared to offer €80 million to secure the deal. The report further claims that an exit is ‘very likely’ in the summer for the Brazilian.

The 23-year-old wants to compete at a high level, and joining Liverpool could be exciting for him. Murillo has also been linked with Chelsea.

Arsenal and Man United want Murillo

Arsenal have also been linked with the player, but they might find it difficult to accommodate him in the starting line-up. They are already well-stocked in the defensive unit.

On the other hand, Manchester United could certainly use more quality at the back, and the Brazilian would be an excellent addition. He could be the ideal long-term replacement for Harry Maguire. The 23-year-old has been a reliable performer in the Premier League, and he has the quality to improve Liverpool and Manchester United. The opportunity to join them will be hard for the young defender to turn down.

Nottingham Forest will not want to lose a quality player like him, but an offer of €80 million (£70m) will be hard to turn down. Also, the Brazilian could have his head turned if there is a concrete proposal from clubs like Liverpool on the table.

Liverpool have looked vulnerable at the back this season, and they need to improve defensively. Signing the Brazilian would be ideal for them. He could replace Ibrahima Konate, who will be a free agent in the summer.

It remains to be seen which of the three clubs can win the race for his signature. The defender is likely to want to join a club where he can regularly fight for trophies and play every week.

Newcastle United are looking to improve the defensive unit with the signing of Italian defender Alessandro Buongiorno at the end of the season.

According to a report from Sports Boom, the 26-year-old defender has attracted the attention of Newcastle with his performances for Napoli and the Italian national team. He has the physicality to succeed in the Premier League, and he could prove to be an excellent addition.

Buongiorno has also been linked with Tottenham in recent months. Chelsea wanted to sign the defender a year ago as well.

Newcastle could use Alessandro Buongiorno

Newcastle need to improve that area of the pitch. Signing a quality defender could be a wise decision for them in the summer. It remains to be seen whether Napoli is prepared to sanction his departure. Buongiorno has been an important player for them, and they will not want to weaken the team.

Meanwhile, Newcastle have looked quite vulnerable at the back this season, and they need to improve defensively if they want to compete in Europe regularly and fight for trophies. They are likely to miss out on Champions League qualification this season, and they need to address the team’s weaknesses to bounce back strongly next year.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United defender Sven Botman is reportedly a target for Chelsea. It remains to be seen whether Newcastle sign the 26-year-old Italian as a replacement for the Netherlands International.

The Italian defender cost Napoli £30 million, and they are likely to demand a premium if Newcastle comes calling in the summer. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

It is no secret that Liverpool are looking to bring in a quality winner in the summer, and they have identified Francisco Conceicao as a target.

According to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t SportWitness), they have made early checks on the 23-year-old Portuguese international, and it will be interesting to see if they come forward with an official proposal to sign him.

Francisco Conceicao has impressed with Juventus

The Portuguese attacker has done reasonably well for Juventus, with seven goal contributions in 34 matches across all competitions. Even though he is not lighting up the Italian league with his numbers, his performance has been impressive. He has been a decisive player for Juventus in the final third, and Liverpool needs more cutting-edge in the attack. The 23-year-old will add unpredictability and pace to the Liverpool team.

It will be interesting to see if Liverpool follows up on their interest with an official offer to the player. They are looking at multiple attacking players right now.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have also been linked with Conceicao in the past.

Mohamed Salah is set to leave the club in the summer, and they need to replace him properly. He has been a club legend for them, and his numbers have been exceptional since joining. Replacing him will be a massive challenge for Liverpool, and they need to work hard in order to fill the void left by the Egyptian.

Conceicao is a young player with a lot of potential. Even though his numbers are not world-class yet, there is plenty of room for growth. Regular football in the Premier League could help him improve further and accelerate his development. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Arsenal and Tottenham keen on Brahim Diaz

According to a report from Sports Boom, Arsenal and Tottenham are very interested in signing the “match-winner”, and an offer of around €45 million could get the deal done. The two London clubs are very serious about securing his signature, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done. Brentford and Crystal Palace are also interested in the AFCON Golden Boot winner.

Liverpool have also been linked with the player recently.

The report claims that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is an admirer of Diaz, and Arsenal are preparing an offer of €35 million plus bonuses to sign the player.

It remains to be seen whether Tottenham follows up on their interest with an official proposal to sign the player. They wanted to sign Diaz when Thomas Frank was in charge as well.

Manchester United need a quality defensive midfielder, especially with Casemiro leaving the club in the summer. There is no doubt that the French International will help them improve.

Similarly, Liverpool need an anchor in the middle of the park as well. They have used Ryan Gravenberch in that role, but the Netherlands International is better suited to central midfield. Having a natural defensive midfielder in the team will help Liverpool.

West Ham United are fighting for survival in the Premier League. They might not be a very attractive destination for the Spanish defender.

They will also face competition from cross-town rivals Manchester City and Premier League side Aston Villa. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United is prepared to break the Bank for him.

He is no longer a guaranteed starter for the Spanish club, and it would make sense for him to move on and join a club where he will get regular opportunities. Manchester United have an excellent track record of nurturing young players, and they could help him fulfil his potential.

Regular football in England could also accelerate his development.

Spurs also wanted to sign Ndicka last season.

Manchester United have entered the race as well. The English club are keeping a close eye on Ndicka’s situation and could make their move in the summer. Although Roma would prefer to keep the player, it is believed that an offer in the region of €45 million could convince them to sell.

Bayern Munich are also showing interest, with sources suggesting that Roma may be forced to sell key players by June 30 due to financial agreements with UEFA. This scenario strengthens the possibility of Ndicka leaving during the summer. It is also known that Roma rejected a bid from Al Nassr last year.

Financially, Ndicka’s current market value is around €35 million. However, Roma are ready to evaluate offers in the €40–45 million range, a figure well within the reach of Premier League and European giants.

In conclusion, Evan Ndicka is set to be one of the most discussed defenders of the summer transfer window. The “strong interest” from Barcelona, Tottenham, Liverpool, and Manchester United, combined with Bayern Munich’s involvement and Roma’s financial pressures, is turning his potential transfer into a major European battle.

Tonali scored the opening goal in some style as Italy eventually broke down a resilient Northern Ireland side, and it was the perfect response from the Magpies star after constant transfer gossip over his future dominating recent headlines.

Sandro Tonali transfer timeline

• 6th March – Arsenal chief Andrea Berta working on a deal for Tonali, according to Tuttosport.
• 12th March – Tonali part of three-man list of midfield targets for Man Utd, according to the Sun.
• 19th March – United have made calls to ask about Tonali‘s situation, according to Fabrizio Romano on his YouTube channel.
• 24th March – Tonali wanted by both United and Man City but prefers a return to Serie A, according to talkSPORT.

As well as that, the Shields Gazette have reported on Tonali and Newcastle having a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ over his future, which the club have denied.

Sandro Tonali lets his football do the talking

Tonali has done well to put the speculation to one side, with the 25-year-old playing a key role in helping his country one step closer to World Cup qualification.

That’s according to a report from Sport, as cited and translated by Sport Witness, while earlier today we covered Mundo Deportivo‘s claims that Manchester United were among the clubs to enquire about Balde.

Man United’s interest in Balde comes as they’ve also been linked with Newcastle’s Hall in a report from Sky Sports, so it will be interesting to see how these transfer sagas impact each other.

Lewis Hall impressed against Barcelona recently

Barca will have had a good look at Hall after his impressive showing in that Champions League last-16 first leg encounter at St James’ Park.

The England international was one of the best players on the pitch that night, earning a 7.23 out of 10 rating on WhoScored.

It’s not surprising to see Hall now being linked with bigger clubs like Man Utd and Barcelona, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Newcastle will surely be keen to keep hold of the talented 21-year-old, but it might not be easy, especially if he ends up having a strong 2026 World Cup with England this summer.

Barcelona to replace Alejandro Balde with Lewis Hall?

It’s perhaps slightly surprising to see Barcelona eyeing Hall when they already have Balde in that area of their squad.

Arsenal are reportedly one of the clubs keeping a close eye on developments regarding Barcelona forward Ferran Torres.

The versatile Spain international has shone during his time at Barca but could surprisingly be available this summer due help the club with their financial problems.

That’s according to a report from TEAMtalk, who mention Arsenal alongside Manchester United and Atletico Madrid as potential suitors for Torres.

The report states that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is a long-time admirers of Torres, who has also previously played in England with Manchester City.

Arteta was Pep Guardiola’s assistant at City before becoming Gunners boss, and although he and Torres did not overlap at the Etihad Stadium, it’s possible that he’d been monitored by the club’s coaching staff for a while before he actually joined.

Where next for Ferran Torres?

Arteta’s desire to work with Torres could put Arsenal in a good position for his signature this summer, but the 26-year-old will also want to play regularly.

Despite contributing 16 goals and one assist in all competitions this season, Torres hasn’t quite established himself as a regular starter for Barcelona, so he’ll want a more important role wherever he goes next.

Arsenal have a lot of attacking options, so it’s not guaranteed he’d start much at the Emirates Stadium, but perhaps that could change if injury-prone forwards like Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus leave.

Man Utd, meanwhile, might also find a role for the former City man after slightly inconsistent form from Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko this term.

Barcelona making changes up front

TEAMtalk also suggest one reason Barcelona are looking to offload Torres is so they can use him in potential swap deals.

It will be interesting to see if there are any Arsenal players who might be of interest to Barca in such a deal, but no obvious candidates come to mind.

Crystal Palace could reportedly be set to bank more money from the sale of Michael Olise to Bayern Munich as he’s now being strongly linked with a transfer to Liverpool.

The France international has become established as one of the best players in the world during his time in Germany, and it makes sense that we’re now seeing speculation about him coming back to the Premier League.

Olise looks ideal to help Liverpool replace Mohamed Salah, who has confirmed he’ll be leaving Anfield at the end of this season.

Still, Bild report that Liverpool might have to pay as much as £173m to persuade Bayern to let Olise go, with the 24-year-old potentially becoming the most expensive Premier League signing of all time.

This would eclipse the record-breaking fees the Reds themselves paid for Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz last summer, and it could also mean extra cash for Olise’s former club Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace negotiated sell-on clause in Michael Olise deal

Olise shone during his time at Palace and it looks like the south London club expected there might be even more money to make from him further down the line.

According to reports, the Eagles insisted that Bayern give them 15% of any future sale, which could mean they receive as much as £26m if Olise really does end up joining LFC for £173m.

That might not be earth-shattering money that can help them land the best players in the world, but it’s also a pretty significant amount considering they already sold Olise to Bayern for £50m two years ago.

This could go down as smart business by Palace, even if it’s obviously a blow to have lost a world class talent like this.

Liverpool might not be able to afford such a high fee, however, and are also being linked with other top attacking players such as Yan Diomande, Morgan Rogers, and Anthony Gordon.

The post Crystal Palace poised to bank additional £26m from Michael Olise transfer appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Chelsea have an interest in Tottenham wonderkid central defender Luka Vuskovic ahead of the summer transfer window, CaughtOffside understands.

The talented 19-year-old has been linked with a host of top clubs, including Chelsea, in German media, and our sources have confirmed these claims to be accurate.

The Blues are known for scouring the market for the best young players in world football, and Vuskovic certainly looks to be establishing himself in that department.

The Croatia international is yet to play a single minute for Spurs but has looked hugely impressive with his defensive displays for Hamburg during his loan spell in the Bundesliga this season.

“It’s true that Chelsea are interested,” one well-connected source told us. “They’ve done their homework on him and he’s high up on their list as they look for a new centre-back.”

Luka Vuskovic transfer won’t come cheap

Other sources also confirmed Chelsea’s interest, while others once again mentioned Bayern Munich as being big admirers of the teenager, though it’s unclear if a defender is a priority for them at this stage.

Chelsea’s interest is the strongest for the moment, according to most of the people we’ve spoken to, but others such as Liverpool and Barcelona could also be in the mix.

However, one issue for interested clubs is that Tottenham are not at all keen to let Vuskovic go, and he may already have a market value of around €100m (£86m).

Chelsea have shown that they are prepared to invest big money in elite young talents like that, so it might be that this kind of deal isn’t beyond them.

Still, Spurs are in control of the situation as Vuskovic is tied down to a contract until 2030.

That sends a clear message, but the nature of the transfer market is often such that clubs don’t enter into direct negotiations until quite late on after talks between other parties.

It has not yet been confirmed if Chelsea have spoken to anyone around Vuskovic, but the sense is that that could happen soon.

Manchester United have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Barcelona forward Ferran Torres as he’s likely to be made available this summer.

Barca are looking for solutions to their financial problems, and that could mean offloading some big names, including Torres, despite his fine form this season.

DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CAUGHTOFFSIDE APP FOR ALL THE LATEST & BREAKING UPDATES – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE! ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAY

The 26-year-old has an impressive return of 16 goals and one assist for Hansi Flick’s side this term, despite not always being a regular starter.

According to TEAMtalk, Barcelona have explored offering Torres to both Man Utd and Atletico Madrid ahead of this summer.

The report adds that the Red Devils have been looking for a versatile attacking player of this profile, so Torres could make perfect sense for them.

Manchester United to bring Ferran Torres back to the Premier League?

Torres is a previous Premier League title winner during his time with United’s rivals Manchester City, while he’s also picked up two La Liga titles during his time at the Nou Camp.

There could certainly be a lot of benefit to adding an experienced winner like that to this United squad, depending on what kind of price they’d have to pay for him.

It remains to be seen precisely what kind of deal could be discussed here, but for now it seems TEAMtalk believe the Torres offer to relate to Barcelona’s negotiations for Marcus Rashford.

It may be that the Catalan giants hope to pay less to make Rashford’s move to the club permanent if they include the Spain international in the deal.

Torres scores 16/25 with our Transfer Fit rating system – read more about how it works here.

Will Barcelona end up signing Marcus Rashford?

As we reported yesterday, there is uncertainty about Rashford joining Barcelona permanently after his successful loan spell there this season.

Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan are now understood to be exploring Rashford’s situation, but perhaps Barca will be able to afford the move if they offload Torres or include him in a deal with MUFC.

United already have decent attacking options to choose from, but they should surely consider an option like Torres if he does become available, especially as there seems little prospect of Rashford returning and becoming a key player again at Old Trafford.

Liverpool and Arsenal may have been handed a boost in their rumoured transfer pursuit of talented young Stuttgart centre-back Finn Jeltsch.

According to Christian Falk in his latest CF Bayern Insider column, there doesn’t seem to be genuine interest from Bayern Munich in Jeltsch ahead of this summer.

Falk acknowledges that a number of top clubs are keeping an eye on the 19-year-old and that Bayern are also aware of him, though he insists a new central defender is not currently a priority for them.

DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CAUGHTOFFSIDE APP FOR ALL THE LATEST & BREAKING UPDATES – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE! ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAY

This could be a positive piece of transfer news for Premier League giants Liverpool and Arsenal, who have been linked with Jeltsch by TEAMtalk recently.

Finn Jeltsch not a transfer target for Bayern Munich

Jeltsch surely has it in him to move to a bigger club before too long, but for now it seems Falk does not expect Bayern to be serious players in the race for the Germany Under-21 international’s signature.

Falk also added that Jeltsch could cost around €30m and him moving to the Premier League might be more realistic, in an exciting update for Liverpool and Arsenal.

“It is NOT TRUE: Bayern are keeping a watching brief on Finn Jeltsch,” Falk wrote.

“Bayern know the player, and everyone is watching him – including multiple scouts from the Premier League. He’s doing very well. He’s 19 years of age and has a German past, which is why he’s so interesting for the German national team as well.

“However, at the moment, there aren’t any direct offers for the defender. He’s a player for the future. But Bayern aren’t searching for a centre-back at the present time. He’s on a list, a long list, I would say, like some others, but nothing is concrete yet.

“He’s worth about €30m [£25.9m] in a potential sale. So this is a price that perhaps the Premier League will pay.”

Do Liverpool and Arsenal need Finn Jeltsch?

Jeltsch is still relatively inexperienced, playing only 47 games for Stuttgart, even if he does look like a big prospect for the future.

LFC need defensive depth as Ibrahima Konate comes towards the end of his contract, while Virgil van Dijk is also not getting any younger.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are already very well covered in defence, so probably need to focus more on their midfield and attack for this summer.

Liverpool’s links with Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies have been described as interesting by German football transfer expert Christian Falk.

DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CAUGHTOFFSIDE APP FOR ALL THE LATEST & BREAKING UPDATES – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE! ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAY

Writing in the latest edition of his CF Bayern Insider column, Falk said he had a growing suspicion about what could happen with Davies as there’s perhaps the growing sense that Bayern could listen to offers for the Canada international.

Falk did not explicitly say he’s aware of Liverpool pursuing Davies, but he seems to think the 25-year-old could be available if there are any interested clubs,

This follows Falk also previously claiming Manchester United had an interest in Davies, so this could be saga well worth monitoring in the coming weeks and months.

What Christian Falk has said about Alphonso Davies

Writing in another recent column, Falk fuelled speculation of Davies being a target for Man Utd by saying: “It is TRUE: Manchester United are interested in Alphonso Davies.”

Discussing links with Liverpool in this week’s column, the journalist added: “It’s a very interesting rumour suggesting Alphonso Davies was offered to Liverpool by intermediaries. It’s true that there are thoughts within Bayern, as the Canadian has picked up yet another injury, that if a big offer is on the table, perhaps they would sell him.

“He hasn’t done anything to dispel these rumours. He’s quiet on the situation. So, I have a growing suspicion with regard to this subject!”

Do Liverpool need a new left-back?

Andrew Robertson will be out of contract at Liverpool this summer, and Milos Kerkez hasn’t been entirely convincing during his time at Anfield so far.

That could mean there’s room for someone like Davies to come in, but is he really the right option considering his recent injury record, dip in form, and likely high transfer fee and wages?

See above for our Transfer Fit rating for Davies to Liverpool – and click here to find out more about how these are calculated.

Previously described as “unbelievable” by Bayern teammate Joshua Kimmich, as per the Bundesliga site, it could be that Davies still has it in him to revive his career, but it currently looks a risky deal for the Reds.

Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has finally broken his silence on past stories about how he supposedly wanted to sign Julian Brandt instead of Mohamed Salah.

It seems this is not entirely accurate, with Klopp insisting that although he and Liverpool also spoke to Brandt, there’s no truth to claims that he wasn’t convinced about signing Salah.

DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CAUGHTOFFSIDE APP FOR ALL THE LATEST & BREAKING UPDATES – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE! ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAY

The Egypt international has now become an all-time Liverpool great after a stunning career at Anfield, during which time he’s scored 255 goals in 435 games, winning two Premier League titles and the Champions League.

Brandt is a fine player but he hasn’t proven to be in that category, so LFC fans will surely be relieved that that deal didn’t happen instead, but how close was it?

Jurgen Klopp discusses Julian Brandt and Mohamed Salah story

Klopp has opened up about exploring a number of options before Liverpool finally settled on Salah, which the German insists is perfectly standard.

“There’s always a story that I wanted to sign Julian Brandt or something like that,” Klopp told The Anfield Wrap.

“This is the situation, with that when you go for a winger you talk to seven or eight, and yes, we spoke to Julian Brandt but we spoke to Mo Salah, it’s not he (Brandt) didn’t want it so we took him (Salah).

“Whatever people think, I don’t care, but in the moment we were 100 per cent convinced he was the one, more convinced than he was probably in that moment because he, at least not with us, maybe inside he was.”

Is Mohamed Salah in your all-time Premier League XI?

Liverpool are reportedly unlikely to be able to use Cody Gakpo as part of a deal for RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, according to Christian Falk.

Writing in his CF Bayern Insider column, Falk exclusively revealed that Paris Saint-Germain are now also potentially set to rival the Reds for Diomande this summer.

DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CAUGHTOFFSIDE APP FOR ALL THE LATEST & BREAKING UPDATES – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE! ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAY

Gakpo has had a mixed spell at Liverpool and the club could perhaps do with replacing the Netherlands international with a superior attacking option for next season.

Still, Falk thinks it’s unlikely that the Merseyside giants would succeed in using Gakpo in any deal with Leipzig for Diomande.

Yan Diomande to Liverpool transfer update

Discussing the latest on the Diomande to Liverpool story in today’s column, Falk said: “I heard the rumours of a potential swap deal being in the works for Cody Gakpo and Diomande.

“Liverpool need a replacement with Mo Salah set to leave this summer, and it’s going to be difficult for them to bring in Michael Olise. I know that because Bayern Munich have made that crystal clear. So that’s why it would be a good option to get Yan Diomande.

“However, the rumours of a swap deal hold no truth. I heard there was no offer from Liverpool, and also, Leipzig wouldn’t make this swap deal because Gakpo is too expensive. Not to mention that they have a completely different profile in mind; they’re searching for younger players who can develop at the club. So, they’re not interested in Cody Gakpo.”

PSG rival Liverpool for Yan Diomande

LFC are unsurprisingly not alone in pursuing Diomande this summer after the Ivory Coast international’s exciting form in the Bundesliga.

With ten goals and six assists in the German league so far this season, it’s clear that Diomande is a hugely exciting young talent who could thrive at a bigger club.

Liverpool need someone like that to help them prepare for life after Salah, but PSG look like a threat to that possibility, according to Falk.

“The big advantage is that RB Leipzig would sell if an offer came in above the €100m mark. Bayern Munich are also keen on the 19-year-old, but this is too expensive for the Bavarians, so they won’t be involved in the poker. This is good news for the Premier League and PSG.”

Arsenal “sense an opportunity” to get involved with one of the major transfer sagas of the summer as they explore a deal for Elliot Anderson.

As has been widely reported, both here and elsewhere, there is a huge amount of interest in Nottingham Forest midfielder Anderson, which will come as no surprise after his tremendous form this season.

This story was first published on the Daily Briefing – click here to subscribe to make sure you get these exclusive updates first!

The England international has stood out as one of the top players in his position in the Premier League, and arguably all of Europe’s big five leagues, and there’s been the sense for some time that Manchester City are leading the race for his signature.

Most recently, however, sources have informed me that Chelsea are serious about Anderson as a replacement for Enzo Fernandez amid doubts over his Stamford Bridge future.

Arsenal sense Elliot Anderson transfer opportunity despite Man City links

The latest I’m hearing is that we can’t discount Arsenal in the Anderson story, with the Gunners also big fans of the 23-year-old’s qualities.

“Don’t rule out Arsenal just yet,” one source close to the agents industry told me on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships.

“Man City have had talks, they’re feeling positive about their position, but nothing’s done yet. What I’m hearing is that Arsenal sense an opportunity to get something done. We’ll have to see if they’re right, as other clubs have done more work on this as of now.”

How we rated Elliot Anderson to Arsenal with our Transfer Fit scoring system

Although Arsenal already have good options in midfield, it’s a position they’re open to strengthening in this summer after relying heavily on both Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi this season.

Christian Norgaard hasn’t had many opportunities at all, so one imagines Mikel Arteta is keen for a more trusted third option to allow him to rotate more in that department.

Anderson is a similar profile to Rice, so it makes sense that he’s someone Arteta is keen to have at Arsenal as well.

Elliot Anderson transfer looks too expensive for Arsenal

However, it is worth noting that Forest are likely to want upwards of £100m for Anderson.

While we’ve seen AFC may that kind of money before for Rice, it’s far from ideal for the club when they also look in need of a marquee signing in attack this summer.

Many sources I’ve spoken to have indicated that a left winger and striker could be looked at as major investments, so that doesn’t leave much room for a midfielder like Anderson as well.

The sale of a big name like Martin Odegaard could perhaps facilitate more spending throughout the squad, but that’s far from a certainty at this point.

Overall, the Anderson situation remains open. City might feel confident, but others have played that down and we’ll likely see further links in the weeks and months ahead. Arsenal really like him, as do Chelsea, and I’d also expect the likes of Newcastle and Bayern Munich to keep an eye on the situation too.

Manchester United can reportedly expect a surprise €60m transfer bid from Galatasaray for star player Bruno Fernandes this summer.

The Portugal international’s contract at Old Trafford runs until 2027, causing some uncertainty surrounding his future ahead of the next transfer window.

Still, few would have expected Galatasaray to be one of Fernandes’ suitors, even if Turkish clubs do often have a fair amount of money to spend, leading big names like Victor Osimhen and Leroy Sane to join Galatasaray in recent times.

According to Fichajes, the club are now setting aside €60m to try to pounce for Fernandes this summer as they sense an opportunity for this ambitious deal.

Bruno Fernandes to leave Manchester United?

It’s not yet clear what will happen with Fernandes, as Man Utd will surely want to keep the 31-year-old after his superb form again this season.

According to the Daily Mail, the Red Devils have been keen not to lose Fernandes and may refuse to sell him, even if there’s the risk of losing him on a free in a year’s time.

If Fernandes does end up leaving United, it’s perhaps also more likely that he’d fancy a move to another major club in a more competitive league than Turkey.

His form this season shows he’s still at the very top of his game, so he doesn’t necessarily need to be thinking about a big pay day in the Turkish or Saudi leagues just yet…

Fernandes is on the radar of PSG and Bayern Munich, as per our recent report on his future, so that could still end up being something to watch.

Overall, though, it’s surely going to be very hard for this new MUFC project to take off if they’re having to replace an influential player like Fernandes this summer.

There’s been a lot of speculation about wingers Liverpool could sign in the next transfer window, with Diomande frequently mentioned as a top target.

Below are some key recent updates on the Diomande to Liverpool story…

• 30th January: Liverpool among the clubs scouting Diomande, according to Christian Falk in his CF Bayern Insider column.
• 17th February: Liverpool linked again with Diomande in a deal worth roughly £80m, as per talkSPORT.
• 5th March: Liverpool said to have already held talks over signing the Ivory Coast international, according to Florian Plettenberg on X.

Now a new update from Fichajes states that LFC look to have decided to make Diomande their priority target, even if he costs €100m.

Liverpool prepare historic Yan Diomande transfer investment

According to Fichajes, Liverpool are ready to make a ‘historic’ investment in Diomande as they prepare for the post-Salah era.

The talented 19-year-old has shone in the Bundesliga, establishing himself as one of the most exciting young players in Europe’s big five leagues.

With ten goals and six assists in the German top flight this season, it’s easy to see Diomande having an impact with better players around him, so a move to Anfield could be an ideal next step in his career.

It won’t be easy replacing a club legend like Salah, but Diomande looks like one of the more realistic options out there right now as Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise surely won’t be available.

Yan Diomande Transfer Fit

Using our Transfer Fit rating system, we’ve scored Diomande a strong fit as a potential signing for Liverpool.

He’d be expensive, which is one weakness, while he’s also inexperienced, but that means there’s a huge amount of potential for him to improve as he gets older.

Manchester United are reportedly expected to make a formal approach for the transfer of Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali this summer.

Speculation surrounding Tonali’s future is hotting up, with some key recent updates emerging on the Italy international’s situation:

• 6th March – Arsenal chief Andrea Berta working on a deal for Tonali, according to Tuttosport.
• 12th March – Tonali part of three-man list of midfield targets for Man Utd, according to the Sun.
• 19th March – United have made calls to ask about Tonali‘s situation, according to Fabrizio Romano on his YouTube channel.
• 24th March – Tonali wanted by both United and Man City but prefers a return to Serie A, according to talkSPORT.

And now, it seems Tonali is expected to be the subject of an approach from MUFC at the end of the season as he’s worked his way above Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton on the Red Devils’ list of targets in that position, according to the Daily Mail.

Should Manchester United be targeting Sandro Tonali?

Tonali is a fine player and it makes sense that he’s been considered by the likes of United and Arsenal.

At the same time, however, it’s not that clear to us why he’d be a priority at Old Trafford, with players like Anderson and Wharton looking like superior talents, who are also younger so would be better long-term options.

See above for the Transfer Fit rating we recently gave Tonali to United – and click here to read more about how we calculate these.

Overall, Tonali just looks too expensive to be worthwhile, but perhaps the issue is the availability of other targets.

Anderson, for instance, has been linked with United by BBC Sport, but they’ve also been among the outlets to name City as the frontrunners at this stage.

Even if Tonali is not ideal, he’s still a top player who’s proven himself in the Premier League, and it’s a position United desperately need to strengthen in as Casemiro will be leaving this summer and Manuel Ugarte has proven a major flop.

The post Formal approach prepared: Man Utd rival Arsenal for midfielder who’s moved to the top of their list appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Liverpool are reportedly one of the admirers of Aston Villa attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers, who could possibly make a surprise move this summer.

That’s according to Ben Jacobs on X, with the journalist providing a Liverpool transfer news update and looking at a few Reds targets for the next transfer window.

With Mohamed Salah announcing he’ll be leaving the club at the end of this season, Jacobs has named the likes of Michael Olise, Yan Diomande, Bradley Barcola, and Anthony Gordon as names to potentially look out for out wide.

But Jacobs also says Liverpool could look at a “creative” central attacking player like Rogers as well, with the England international possibly set to be available despite only recently signing a new contract at Villa Park…

Liverpool could sign two wingers this summer.

Rogers is also firmly on Chelsea’s radar, as we’ve previously reported, while this is not the first time Liverpool have been linked with him.

Fichajes named the Merseyside giants as one of Rogers’ suitors, and they stated Villa could let the 23-year-old go for around £80m.

Morgan Rogers transfer would not be entirely without risk for Liverpool

Rogers is undoubtedly an exciting talent, but there’s no guarantee he’d succeed at LFC, and you only need to look at Florian Wirtz to see why.

Wirtz is a similar style of player at a similar stage of his career, and he’s struggled to fit in in Arne Slot’s side since a big-money move last summer.

Rogers has the benefit of being proven in the Premier League, so perhaps he could be an upgrade on Wirtz, but it’s also not obvious how the pair might fit in together.

For this reason, we’ve been a bit cautious and given Rogers a 14/25 rating considering how expensive he’d probably be…

Find out more about how we rate transfers here.

Rogers will surely get a big move at some point, but Liverpool just doesn’t quite feel like the right fit as they probably need a more explosive wide-player as a better fit for their DNA.

There will likely be plenty of other options for Rogers, though it’s also worth noting that his recent form has dipped a little, which could play into clubs’ minds and lead them to look at other options this summer.

That’s according to a report from Mundo Deportivo, who also link Manchester City and Aston Villa as suitors for the Spain international, whose future at the Nou Camp could be in some doubt.

Balde was also recently linked with Liverpool by another Spanish outlet Fichajes in a deal potentially worth €60m, but it’s not yet clear what will happen with him this summer.

Although there is a lot of interest in Balde, Mundo Deportivo report that the 22-year-old is keen to stay at Barcelona.

They add that there have not yet been any formal offers for the player, even if it would appear that there have been some initial contacts to register an interest and explore the situation.

Alejandro Balde transfer looks a good fit for Manchester United

Balde has arguably not been at his very best for Barca this season, but he remains a top talent who looks like he has a big future in the game.

Man Utd could also do with a new left-back as an upgrade on the ageing and injury-prone Luke Shaw, which is why we recently gave this a very high score with our Transfer Fit rating system – click here to read more about how these are calculated…

If United can get Balde, it would surely improve their squad for both the present and future, and previous reports of him costing €60m also suggest this could potentially be a bargain.

Where should Alejandro Balde choose if he leaves Barcelona?

Balde may well look favourably on a move to Old Trafford right now as United look to be heading back into the Champions League for next season.

At the same time, it’s been a bit of a chaotic club in recent years, so somewhere like Liverpool, City, or even Villa might be more tempting.

LFC also look like they could do with an upgrade at left-back, with Milos Kerkez proving slightly disappointing in his first season at Anfield.

It’s not clear if City would be the best move, though, as Balde might struggle to get ahead of the in-form Nico O’Reilly in the starting XI.

Villa might be another interesting move as they’re once again challenging for Champions League qualification and could give Balde a key role as a long-term successor to Lucas Digne.

Liverpool need to sign a quality winger in the summer, especially with Mohamed Salah leaving the club.

According to Ben Jacobs, they are looking at multiple players to improve that area of the pitch, and they are likely to invest in two quality wingers instead of one.

Liverpool eye Anthony Gordon move

Jacobs believes that Liverpool is keen on Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United. He has revealed on X that Liverpool have ‘historical’ interest in the player and they ‘almost signed him’ in 2024.

It will be interesting to see if they decide to renew their interest in the England International this summer. Gordon has done quite well for Newcastle, and he could be a useful acquisition for Liverpool. He is capable of operating on either flank as well as a centre forward. He will add goals and creativity to the team.

Gordon has 17 goals and five assists to his name this season.

Liverpool is looking at multiple options

Meanwhile, Liverpool is keen on Michael Olise and Yan Diomande as well. Olise is unlikely to be sold to Bayern Munich, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool decides to move for Diomande. The Ivorian will cost around €100 million, and he is also a target for Manchester United.

Liverpool have been linked with Bradley Barcola from PSG, but the French outfit is working to extend his contract and will not entertain offers in the summer. Another PSG player linked to Liverpool is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is also a target for Arsenal. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Liverpool needs to add more quality and depth to the attacking unit in the summer, and it will be interesting to see who they end up with. Meanwhile, Gordon is a lifelong Liverpool fan, and the opportunity to join them could be tempting for him.

Liverpool have been linked with a surprise move for the Everton attacker Iliman Ndiaye at the end of the season.

According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool have been closely tracking the Senegal International, and they are looking to make a move for him in the summer.

Liverpool eye Iliman Ndiaye

They believe that the Senegal attacker could be a very useful acquisition for them. He has impressed in the Premier League with Everton, and there is no doubt that he has the quality to succeed at a higher level as well. The 26-year-old can operate on either flank, and he will add pace and unpredictability to the Liverpool attack.

He is entering the peak years of his career, and this could be the right time for him to take on a new challenge. The player has six goals and three assists to his name this season, and he could be a handy option for Liverpool. Meanwhile, Manchester United are very keen on the player as well and believe he could be the “versatile forward” they are looking for.

The player has been described as an “elite” talent. He has the physicality and technical attributes for English football, and he could add a new dimension to the Liverpool or Chelsea attack.

Where will Geertruida end up?

Meanwhile, Aston Villa, Everton, Tottenham and Crystal Palace are keeping tabs on the defender as well. The versatile defender is likely to want to continue in the Premier League beyond this season. He is not a key player for the German club, and he won’t get regular playing time next season. It would be ideal for him to leave RB Leipzig permanently in the summer.

£20 million is a reasonable price for a player of his quality, and he could be a very useful acquisition for Liverpool.

Tottenham already have players like Pedro Porro and Djed Spence at their disposal. It would be quite surprising if they decided to invest in another right back. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Geertruida will want to join a club where he can play regularly and compete at a high level. The move to Liverpool is the best option for him.

The Gunners paid £50 million for him when they signed him in 2021, but he has not been able to live up to the expectations. It will be interesting to see if they are prepared to cash in on him.

Newcastle and Everton could be exciting opportunities for the player. They could help him get his career back on track with regular football. However, Arsenal will have to be reasonable in their demands for the move to go through.

Regular football in the Premier League will help him improve further and regain his confidence. Meanwhile, the defender has struggled with persistent injury problems at Arsenal. He will certainly hope to put those fears behind him and make a fresh start in the summer.

The 25-year-old is well settled in the Premier League. He could make an immediate impact at Old Trafford. He knows the club well, having come through the ranks at Manchester United, and he could help them improve.

Manchester United believe that he could solve the lack of “leadership and discipline” in their engine room. Garner is not just a quality player; his ability to organise the defensive line and his vocal organisational skills could prove to be an asset for Manchester United. Furthermore, he can slot into multiple roles, and his versatility would be an added bonus.

The report claims that Liverpool have a strong relationship with RB Leipzig, and that could facilitate smooth negotiations this summer. Furthermore, former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp holds a senior role within the Red Bull network, and he could play a key role in any potential move.

Liverpool wanted to sign Le Fee a couple of years ago.

Arteta wants Enzo Le Fee

The Spanish coach believes that the technically gifted midfielder could be the ideal acquisition for his team. He can operate in multiple roles, and he will help create opportunities for his teammates in the final third. The French midfielder is a tactically aware player who can link up with teammates and create opportunities through his passing and vision.

Le Fee has five goals and four assists to his name this season.

Sunderland will not want to lose a player like him, and it would take a substantial offer to convince them. The report claims that the player could cost around €50 million. Arsenal certainly have the financial muscle to pay that kind of money for the midfielder, and it remains to be seen what they decide.

Le Fee could be a useful addition

They are looking to build a formidable team for the future, and they need more depth in the squad. Le Fee is well settled in the Premier League, and he could make an immediate impact if he joins the North London outfit. The opportunity to play for them will be hard to turn down for him. He will be able to fight for League titles and the UEFA Champions League with them.

Arsenal are interested in signing the Hearts defender Alfie Osborne at the end of the season.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, Arsenal and Manchester City are leading the race to sign the 17-year-old defender, and representatives from both clubs scouted the player in action on Wednesday.

Osborne is highly rated in Scotland, and he has a bright future. He could develop into a quality player with the right guidance, and the opportunity to move to the Premier League could be exciting.

Arsenal have done well to groom young players in the past, and they could play a role in the development of a 17-year-old. They have the financial muscle to get the deal over the line as well, and it will be difficult for Hearts to hold on to Osborne if there is a concrete proposal from Arsenal or Manchester City.

Meanwhile, the report from TEAMtalk claims that clubs like Leeds United, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Sunderland and Fulham are all monitoring the young defender. It remains to be seen where he ends up.

The opportunity to join Arsenal will be hard to turn down for the young defender. They are among the biggest clubs in the world, and they have consistently been fighting for major trophies. Similarly, Manchester City will be an attractive destination. He would get to work with a generational manager like Pep Guardiola if he joins Manchester City.

The defender is reportedly open to a move in the summer, and he does not want to sign a long-term contract with Hearts, even though the Scottish outfit is looking to retain him and has made efforts to tie him down to a new long-term deal.

The Egypt international has announced he will be ending his time at Anfield once this current season comes to a close, and it’s not yet clear where he could go next.

Our sources have indicated that the Saudi Pro League or MLS are likely options for Salah, but it could be that he’ll still end up staying in Europe.

That’s according to Fichajes, who report that Barcelona are tempted to swoop for Salah, with manager Hansi Flick already planning a role for him in his team.

Despite Salah’s dip in form this season, it may be that the 33-year-old still has it in him to perform at the highest level.

Barcelona transfer could be ideal next step for Mohamed Salah

We’ve seen the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi continuing to play into their late 30s at top European clubs, and it looks like Salah could have it in him to do the same.

However, there’s no doubt that that would be slightly easier for him if he swapped the fast and furious Premier League for the slightly slower-paced and technical La Liga.

Salah could in fact come in and take the place of Robert Lewandowski up front in this Barca side, with the Poland international set to turn 38 later this year.

Speaking on Instagram, Romano made it clear that Rodri has still not agreed a new contract with Man City, putting his future into some doubt.

This follows the Spain international himself speaking out and hinting that he’d be open to playing for Real Madrid at some point in the future.

It remains to be seen if Los Blancos are actually keen to sign Rodri, but he’s one of the best in the world in his position on his day, and it’s easy to imagine he might be keen to return to La Liga.

Rodri open to Real Madrid transfer despite spell at Atletico Madrid

Rodri has made it clear that he’d have no issue playing for Real despite also having a spell with their rivals Atletico earlier in his career.

The 29-year-old started his senior career at Villarreal, but spent time in Atleti’s academy and also spent one season there as a professional before moving to the Etihad Stadium in 2019.

Discussing his City future, as quoted by Sky Sports, Rodri said: ““I have a year left on my contract. There will come a point when we’ll have to sit down and talk.

The France international is impressing in Serie A at the moment, and it’s not surprising to see transfer rumours linking him with clubs in the Premier League.

According to Il Giornale, as cited and translated by Sport Witness, Man Utd and Liverpool have been tracking Kalulu, while Juventus hope to tie the 25-year-old down to a new contract.

This chimes with our recent exclusive on United and Liverpool scouts giving “very positive” feedback on what they’d seen from Kalulu’s recent performances.

What our sources said about Pierre Kalulu transfer situation

“United and Liverpool have had scouts watch Kalulu play recently and the feedback has been very positive,” one source said.

“United are looking at a long list of options and Kalulu is one they really like,” another source said. “We can also expect Liverpool to step up their interest, whether or not they lose Ibrahima Konate.”

Sport Witness note that Kalulu is represented by CAA Stellar, who are also the agency of Konate, as well as of MUFC duo Kobbie Mainoo and Luke Shaw.

Tottenham and Newcastle could also be two clubs to watch out for in the race for Kalulu’s signature, we’ve been told.

Using our Transfer Fit rating system, we’ve given Kalulu a high score for Liverpool as they could really do with a central defender of his quality this summer amid doubts over Konate’s future, and with Virgil van Dijk ageing and perhaps starting to look past his best…

Kalulu wouldn’t be crazily expensive, is in good form and at a good stage of his career, and would surely go straight into the LFC XI as a key player.

United probably don’t need Kalulu quite as much as they have a decent amount of depth from the likes of Lisandro Martinez, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Ayden Heaven.

Journalist Ben Jacobs has confirmed that PSG winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is appreciated by people at Liverpool.

As Mohamed Salah comes closer to the end of his career at Liverpool, the Premier League giants are exploring opportunities in the market to replace him.

A number of players have been linked with the Merseyside club to replace Salah.

The likes of Anthony Gordon, Bradley Barcola and Michael Olise have all been mentioned in the media recently.

However, there is a new name on the Liverpool shortlist and that is PSG winger Kvaratskhelia.

Liverpool appreciate 25-year-old Georgian winger

While speaking on GiveMeSport, Jacobs said:

“Of course, there is appreciation for a player like Bradley Barcola or Desire Doue or Kvaratskhelia and several clubs like these names.

“But are any of them going to be allowed to leave PSG? At this stage, I have no indication that a sale is on the cards and Liverpool are very astute. They don’t enter usually lost causes unless they think that the players are genuinely available.”

Jacobs did admit that PSG are not looking to offload either Barcola, Doue or Kvaratskhelia, despite interest from Liverpool.

PSG compete for the biggest honours in football regularly and Kvaratskhelia is a crucial player for them.

They invested heavily in signing him from Napoli and his move has done wonders for the player, as well as the club.

Mo Salah would be difficult to replace

Salah has been the pillar of the Liverpool attack during his time at the club.

It would hardly be an overstatement to say that his attacking quality guided Liverpool to the league title last season.

However, his form has been far from impressive this season and mid-season issues with manager Arne Slot have completely changed the situation.

Salah has already announced his departure from the club and Liverpool now face a daunting task of replacing him.

Wide players hardly score as much as Salah has done during his time at Anfield. Not only his goal scoring quality but also his creativity has bailed Liverpool out of trouble on numerous occasions.

The Reds may have to look for two players to replace the Egyptian attacker.

Liverpool have reportedly initiated internal discussions regarding a blockbuster summer swoop for 19-year-old Tottenham Hotspur center-back Luka Vušković.

However, the Merseyside club is far from alone in their admiration.

With European heavyweights Real Madrid and Barcelona also circling the towering Croatian international, Vušković will have plenty of interest from top clubs in the summer transfer window, according to Sport Bild, as reported by Metro.

Liverpool could look to replace Ibrahima Konate

The driving force behind Liverpool’s intense interest stems from the lingering uncertainty surrounding their own defensive anchor, Ibrahima Konaté.

Real Madrid are currently scouring the market for elite defensive reinforcements, and the formidable French international has reportedly emerged as one of their primary targets.

Should Los Blancos successfully pry Konaté away from Anfield, Liverpool’s recruitment team has firmly identified Vušković as his ideal long-term successor.

Ironically, Real Madrid themselves previously explored a move for Vušković during his youth career, meaning the Spanish giants could directly or indirectly dictate the teenager’s next destination depending on their summer priorities.

Barcelona interest adds intrigue to the transfer saga

While Liverpool and Real Madrid strategize, Barcelona are quietly maneuvering behind the scenes.

What makes Barcelona a uniquely dangerous threat in this race is their established boardroom connections.

Vušković is represented by powerful super-agent Pini Zahavi, who maintains an exceptionally close working relationship with Barcelona president Joan Laporta.

Furthermore, the club is actively rolling out the red carpet, manager Hansi Flick and star striker Robert Lewandowski, another high-profile Zahavi client, have both reportedly held personal conversations with the defender to sell him on the Camp Nou project.
