Liverpool enter the battle to sign €35m-rated Serie A centre-back


 Liverpool are interested in signing Kim Min-Jae. And they could look to make a move for Napoli centre-back at the end of the campaign. The 26-year-old centre-back has a release clause ranging between €44-70m, and it can be activated between July 1 and July 15 this year.

It will be interesting to see if the Merseyside giants are willing to spend that kind of money on a defender, especially with footballers like Van Dijk, Matip and Konate at their disposal. Furthermore, the Reds have Gomez at the club as well. That said, Gomez has been a shadow of his former self since returning from a long-term injury.

And it will not be surprising if the German coach decides to replace the footballer in the coming months. However, a footballer like Min-Jae will demand regular first-team football. And the Reds might not be able to provide him with that platform, especially with Konate and van Dijk at the club.

The Frenchman has firmly established himself as the first-choice partner for the Dutch international, and Jurgen Klopp is unlikely to displace them anytime soon. Meanwhile, Kim has established himself as a crucial figure for Napoli since joining the Serie A club.

And South Korea international has proven himself to be a worthy replacement for Koulibaly, who joined Chelsea during the summer transfer window. The South Korean defender has been linked with other English teams as well, and it will be interesting to see if his suitors are prepared to activate his release clause in the summer.

Liverpool set to make official move for 24-year-old midfielder valued at£39.8m

  Liverpool have reportedly reignited their interest in Matheus Nunes and are weighing up a £44m swoop for the Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder. The Portugal international was heavily linked with a move to Anfield during the summer transfer window, but Jurgen Klopp’s side decided against spending big on a new lynchpin. Still determined to test himself in the Premier League, Nunes became the latest Portuguese player to arrive at Wolves, who paid €45m (£39.8m) to bring the 24-year-old to the club from Sporting Lisbon. Nunes has one assist to show from 14 Premier League games for Julen Lopetegui’s side, and he is under contract at Molineux until 2027 with an option to extend for an additional 12 months. However, Nunes’s efforts have not been able to prevent Wolves’ slide down the table, with Lopetegui’s men sat 19th in the rankings after taking just 13 points from 17 games. Should Wolves drop back down to the Championship, Nunes would not be e...

(Video) Thiago’s three brilliant defensive challenges that demonstrate his Anfield dominance

Image
  Thiago Alcantara had yet another brilliant display for Liverpool and it wasn’t just his usual passing and attacking prowess that was on show but his tackling and defensive abilities too. One video has been created to show three instances when our No.6 won the ball back inside his own half and they were all done with the usual style and class we are used to seeing from the Spain international. It wasn’t the best display from Jurgen Klopp’s squad but the 31-year-old could leave the pitch with his head held high, after helping the Reds secure all three points. Let’s hope his form continues and that we can extend our run of four successive victories in the Premier League. He is immense pic.twitter.com/KdobOK8Feh — - (@PassLikeThiago) December 31, 2022

Bayern Munich eyeing up another Liverpool star – Likely far cheaper than Mané deal

Image
 With a few clubs, including Manchester United, reportedly interested in Eric Choupo-Moting, currently at Bayern Munich, the Bavarian side are preparing for the worst. Having already lost Robert Lewandowski in the summer, the Bundesliga giants have had to rely on the Cameroon international more often than not, but his contract expires in the summer. This has made him attractive for many clubs in January, which is why Bayern Munich are looking at Liverpool for a potential replacement. This is because the Reds have a player in a similar situation as Choupo-Moting in Roberto Firmino, whose contract at Anfield expires in the summer. There have been reports the Brazilian wouldn’t mind extending at Liverpool, but he will take his time to evaluate what his future can bring him. Media Foot in France suggest that could include a transfer back to Germany, where he initially made a name for himself at Hoffenheim. The outlet explain the Liverpool forward ‘is among the profiles studied’ by...
