Liverpool’s relentless pursuit of midfielders worldwide shows no signs of slowing down. Their latest target, for the second time it seems, is Real Madrid’s Fede Valverde. Determined to enact revenge after missing out on Jude Bellingham, the Reds have already shown interest in Frenchman Aurélien Tchouaméni. Now, Jürgen Klopp has set his sights on Uruguay’s Valverde, with reports from Spain suggesting a £77m price tag.
But with all these new arrivals in Liverpool’s midfield, it’s only natural to wonder who will make way. Cue the speculative gossip, led by Thiago Alcântara. The 32-year-old, known for his injury troubles, has supposedly removed “Liverpool” from his social media bio, sparking rumors of an imminent departure.
Meanwhile, Steven Gerrard, now managing Al-Ettifaq, is searching for recognizable players to bolster his squad. Could his old teammate Jordan Henderson and Aston Villa’s Philippe Coutinho join him in Saudi Arabia? Perhaps Gerrard will even consider bringing back the 2013-14 near-title winning squad, including Jon Flanagan and Martin Skrtel.
In other news, Mason Mount’s latest video announcement has caused a stir. With a blond-haired appearance in the video, fans have questioned its timing and location. Nonetheless, it seems Mount is on his way to Manchester United from Chelsea.
Turning our attention to Manchester United’s goalkeeping situation, as David de Gea prepares to leave, André Onana remains a favorite for the No. 1 spot. However, Inter’s asking price of £50m has led United to consider Brighton’s Robert Sánchez as a more affordable option. Sánchez may not have De Gea’s shot-stopping abilities, but he surpasses him in terms of playing with his feet.
Scott McTominay might find his playing time limited with Mount’s arrival, but Sofyan Amrabat could pose a more direct competition for the Scottish midfielder’s position. Erik ten Hag, United’s manager, holds Amrabat in high regard after his impressive performances in the World Cup.
On the transfer front at Arsenal, a blockbuster £105m deal for West Ham’s Declan Rice has been finalized. This deal could trigger Granit Xhaka’s move to Bayer Leverkusen for £21.5m. The Gunners are also eyeing Ajax’s Jurrien Timber for a potential £40m transfer fee.
Finally, Newcastle seems to be focusing on their defense rather than attacking options. Eddie Howe has reportedly been quoted £60m for Crystal Palace’s Marc Guéhi and £20m for Joachim Andersen as he aims to solidify the Magpies’ backline.
