      According to Spanish outlet Fichajes.Net, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp wants to rebuild his team and believes Asensio could be the perfect signing.
      The Spaniard hasn’t been an automatic pick under Ancelotti this term but scored a hat-trick in their 6-1 win against Mallorca on Wednesday.
      Rumours suggest the international will hold talks with his gaffer over his future and could be allowed to leave the Bernabeu if they turn sour.
      Ancelotti has plenty of attacking options to choose from, including Gareth Bale, Eden Hazard, Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior.
      Real are also hoping to sign Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer next summer, further restricting Asensio’s playing time.
      Reports in August claimed Arsenal were leading the race for Asensio’s signature but Liverpool can offer the player Champions League football.

      Asensio has played 134 LaLiga games for Real since his making his debut in 2016, winning two Spanish titles and two Champions Leagues.
      At international level, he’s picked up 25 senior caps to date and helped Spain win a Silver medal at the Toyko Olympics in the summer.
      Premier League clubs Leeds, Leicester and Everton have also been linked with the Real ace in recent months.
      AC Milan and Serie A rivals are also reportedly interested in the player as they continue to rebuild their squads in pursuit of European glory.

      The Edgware outfit is second from bottom on the table with Dover, who started the campaign with a 12-point deduction, the only team below them.
      Barnet’s head of football Dean Brennan confirmed the decision to dismiss the former Liverpool and Leeds star was taken because of the team’s poor start.
      Brennan said: “It was clear how much Harry Kewell wanted to have a positive impact, but ultimately the results and the poor start to the season have dictated our decision.
      “The plan for this season was for Barnet FC to be challenging in the top half of the table and that is still very much our aim.”
      Kewell’s assistant Paul Butler is also departing from Barnet with Brennan taking over on a temporary basis.
      That means he will become the sixth person to be in charge of the club this year.

      Barnet were the fourth team he coached after spells at Crawley, Notts County and Oldham. More

      by

      According to The Mirror, Chelsea and Liverpool are on ‘red alert’ after an ex-Bayern sporting director casted doubts over Coman’s future.
      Christian Nerlinger recently told BILD TV: “I don’t think he will stay in Munich. Bayern have a recent tendency to lose players for free.
      “But you can’t do that in the long run, you have to sell players from time to time if the offer is right.
      “Coman is an excellent player, but given the situation, I think Bayern will consider selling him.”
      And, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.Net, Tottenham and former club Juventus are also keen on adding Coman to their respective attacks.
      Chelsea were linked with Coman throughout the recent transfer window but were reportedly put off by Bayern’s £86million price tag.

      But if the player’s contract isn’t renewed, his valuation will drop and the Bundesliga outfit may be forced into a sale to avoid losing him on a free.
      Coman, a 34-cap France international, is one of Europe’s brightest talents after spells with Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus.
      The winger has already won TEN league titles during his career and scored the winning goal in the 2020 Champions League final against PSG.

      Coman underwent minor heart surgery on Thursday but is expected to return to action within the next two weeks.
      Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann told the press: “His heartbeat rhythm had a slight disturbance with a minor added beat.
      “At times he had a slight shortage of breath. That’s why we opted for long-term ECG monitoring and went ahead with this procedure.”

      The German boss parted ways with Wijnaldum on a free transfer at the end of last season.
      But after failing to secure a replacement in the transfer window, Klopp will look to bring Soler to Anfield next year after the ace entered the final two years of his Mestalla contract.
      The two-time Spain international, who made his debut this month, has been at Valencia his entire career, scoring 26 goals in 188 games.
      Soler has started the new season in flying form with three strikes in as many appearances.
      And after recording his best effort last season with 11 LaLiga goals, Soler looks to be improving all the time.
      Klopp believes the Spaniard is ideal to replace Wijnaldum, who departed Liverpool on a free transfer for Paris Saint-Germain.

      But with the likes of James Milner, Thiago and Jordan Henderson entering their twilight years, Soler now looks set to enter the fray at Liverpool and boost Klopp’s midfield options from next year.

      Nabil Fekir reveals all about failed Liverpool move in 2018 and denies that knee injury caused £50m transfer to collapse

      by

      NABIL FEKIR admits his failed move to Liverpool in the summer of 2018 was a ‘dark moment’ in his career.The France international – who at the time was plying his trade in his homeland – was on course to swap Lyon for Merseyside after Liverpool agreed a £50million deal for the midfielder.

      But the deal ended up collapsing, which paved the way for Fekir to join Real Betis 12 months later for a mere £17m.
      The failed move to Anfield devastated Fekir, who told The Times: “It was a dark moment.
      “I saw plenty of things which weren’t true.”
      Liverpool were reported to have ended their interest in Fekir due to concerns about the health of his right knee.
      That notion irked the creative whizz, who added: “It was said the knee stopped me going to Liverpool but that wasn’t true.
      “I went to Clairefontaine [France’s football centre near Paris], and they did all the proof [medical assessments] and the knee was fine.

      “I had a problem with my agent, my adviser. It was the agent [who was] responsible for the deal not going through.”
      Fekir’s pain at missing out on joining the Reds was worsened by the positive talks he had with Kop chief Jurgen Klopp.
      He said: “Of course I was disappointed not to go to Liverpool, very disappointed because Liverpool are a great club.
      “I met the coach, Jurgen Klopp, and it went well.
      “After meeting him, I wanted to join Liverpool even more. He’s a good person.
      “It was really difficult to deal with as I really wanted to go to Liverpool. It was a moment that was not easy for me.”
      Fekir has yet to recreate the form that prompted Liverpool to try to sign him since he joined Betis.

      In 74 appearances for Manuel Pellegrini’s side, the Frenchman has found the back of the net 12 times and provided 13 assists.
      Fekir and his Betis team-mates will be back in action a week on Monday, travelling to the Nuevo Estadio de Los Carmenes to take on Granada.
      Liverpool, meanwhile, will face Leeds United at Elland Road next Sunday.

      Liverpool ‘set to win Renato Sanches transfer race ahead of Barcelona as Lille slap £40m price tag on midfielder’

      by

      LIVERPOOL look set to win the transfer race to sign Renato Sanches, according to reports.The midfielder, 23, is expected to leave Lille this summer after helping them win the Ligue 1 title last season.

      According to Mundo Deportivo, the French side are demanding £40million for their Portuguese star.
      Liverpool are keen to bring in an extra midfielder after the departure of Gini Wijnaldum on a free transfer to Paris Saint-Germain while Youri Tielemans looks set to stay at FA Cup winners Leicester.
      But the Reds may try and lower the asking price to get a cheaper deal for the energetic midfield man.
      Barcelona were also thought to be interested in Sanches, after missing out on Wijnaldum.
      But their financial disarray means they are unable to register any new signings.
      And that may well give Liverpool a free run to bring Sanches back to the Premier League.
      After breaking through with Benfica, he won the league and cup double, Euro 2016 and Golden Boy award in a stunning 2016.
      But after joining Bayern Munich, his career spiralled downwards with a flop loan spell at Swansea in 2017-18.
      However, the star got it back on track when he transferred from Bayern to Lille two years ago and has been on an upward trajectory ever since.
      Selling Sanches would mean losing two of their key title-winning central midfielders after Boubakary Soumare moved to Leicester.
      Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has only brought in one new face in the summer window so far.
      Ibrahima Konate signed from RB Leipzig in a £36m transfer to bolster the defence.

      But with the club also linked with £38m-rated Belgian teenage winger Jeremy Doku, Klopp hinted there could be more arrivals before the August 31 deadline day.
      Speaking after Sunday’s 1-1 pre-season draw with Athletic Bilbao, the German said: “I am very happy with the squad, but it doesn’t mean that we don’t look at the market.
