Report: Liverpool make contact with agents in attempt to sign 'extraordinary' £35m midfielder


 Liverpool want Teun Koopmeiners and have now contacted the representatives of the Atalanta midfielder to try and gauge interest in a move.

That’s according to Tutto Atalanta over in Italy, who claim that Liverpool are intensifying their interest in signing Koopmeiners.

It’s claimed that Liverpool have made contact with Koopmeiners’ agency Wasserman, making their interest in a deal known.

Jurgen Klopp is allegedly a huge fan of Koopmeiners and Liverpool are now making moves to try and snap him up.

iNews claimed just a few days ago Liverpool have been watching Koopmeiners closely ahead of a possible move.

A January deal isn’t expected but Liverpool are seemingly positioning themselves for a summer deal, if these reports from Italy are true.

It’s added that Atalanta wouldn’t even sit at the table to negotiate for anything less than €40million (£35million), just 18 months since paying around €12million (£10.5million) for the Dutchman.

Reports recently have suggested that Liverpool assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders is having an increasing influence on the Reds and their transfer business.

A Dutch coach who learned his trade in Portugal, Lijnders has overseen the moves to sign Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez from Porto and Benfica respectively.

Liverpool’s latest signing is a Dutch star in Cody Gakpo and another Netherlands international could be on the way in Koopmeiners.

Liverpool also have Virgil van Dijk in their back line and are maybe missing Dutch star Georginio Wijnaldum in midfield.

That’s something Koopmeiners could do whilst adding to the Dutch flavour emerging at Anfield.

Koopmeiners has shown that he can dictate from deep or play as a box-to-box midfielder, though maybe doses’t have the mobility of Wijnaldum.

Lijnders surely knows plenty about Koopmeiners and having been hailed as ‘extraordinary’ by Atalanta hero Domenico Progna, Liverpool could be onto something special here.

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

  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...
