      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.

      The Netherlands star, 30, spent five years on Merseyside after a 2016 switch from Newcastle.
      And Wijnaldum played a key role in Liverpool’s recent Champions League and Premier League success before leaving.

      And that allowed makeshift defender Fabinho to return to his natural anchorman position further forward.
      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.

      Liverpool eye Jarrod Bowen transfer as Jurgen Klopp looks to boost forward options with West ham star

      by

      LIVERPOOL are targeting a transfer for West Ham ace Jarrod Bowen, according to reports. Jurgen Klopp wants to bolster his attacking line this summer.

      And the Liverpool Echo state the Reds did not deny rumours linking them with the former Hull star.
      Bowen, 24, appears to be the ideal target for the 2019-20 Premier League champions who will be looking to wrestle back the trophy from Manchester City next season.
      He managed eight goals and five assists as he appeared in all 38 league games last term.
      In fact, West Ham won six and drew one when Bowen found the net.
      Bowen would be unlikely to start regularly at Anfield with Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota ahead in the pecking order.
      But Klopp knows the value of having Bowen in his squad and at his disposal as they hope to challenge on various fronts.
      However, it would likely take a significant bid for West Ham to sell the former Hereford youngster.
      The Hammers paid £22million for Bowen in January 2020, tying him down on a five-and-a-half-year contract.
      And his stellar form – one of the standout performers in an impressive season at the London Stadium – means he is one of the club’s top assets.

      Any Bowen transfer would also only happen if Xherdan Shaqiri or Divock Origi left Liverpool.
      The two forwards are both deemed surplus to requirements on Merseyside but the club have not received suitable offers for them at this stage in the transfer window.
      Contrary to recent reports, the Echo add Lazio have not made contact regarding Shaqiri while there have been no serious talks over Origi.

      Liverpool keeper Alisson set to sign bumper new contract until 2026 ‘with just finishing touches left to finalise’

      by

      BRAZIL star Alisson is reportedly in the late stages of sealing a contract extension that will see him remain with Liverpool until June 2026. Football expert Fabrizio Romano claims news of the goalkeeper’s new five-year deal is due to be confirmed in the coming weeks.

      It is thought the Reds stopper, 28, will put pen to paper on his new contract once all the relevant details are finalised. 
      And the Athletic reports Alisson’s compatriot Fabinho is expected to sign a new deal with the side who are due to play Bundesliga outfit Mainz in a pre-season friendly on July 23. 
      The news comes amid speculation of contract talks for England midfield star Jordan Henderson slowing down in recent weeks. 
      The Anfield captain has entered the last two years of his £140,000-a-week contract at the club. 
      Alisson, 28, who made two appearances for Brazil at the Copa America this year, is thought to be highly regarded by Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp. 
      The Brazil ace played an instrumental role in Liverpool’s title win in the 2019-20 season helping Klopp’s side win their first-ever Prem crown. 
      And the keeper kept 15 clean sheets in 29 top-flight appearances with his club losing just three league games in the league. 
      And although the stopper made some high-profile errors during losses to Man City and Leicester, the player kept 15 clean sheets in 42 games for the Reds last term. 

      COMPETITION: SPOT THE BALL TO WIN A CAR AND CASH

      Alisson began his senior playing career at Brazilian club Internacional in 2013 before sealing a £6.4million move to Roma in 2016. 
      And the player made a sensational 2018 summer switch to Merseyside for £66.8m beating the world-record £32.6m Juventus paid to Parma for Gianluigi Buffon. 
      At the time Alisson was hailed by pundits in Italy as one of the best goalkeepers in Serie A having saved around 79 per cent of shots in the 2017-18 season.

      Youri Tielemans ‘wants £64m Liverpool transfer this summer with Jurgen Klopp ready to meet Leicester’s valuation’

      by

      YOURI TIELEMANS is rumoured to be considering a Leicester City exit with reports that the Belgian is eyeing a switch to Liverpool.The Daily Mail claims the Foxes are pushing for a minimum of £64million from the Anfield club for the midfielder who has two years left on his contract.

      It is thought Reds boss Jurgen Klopp sees the player as an ideal replacement for Georginio Wijnaldum, who departed for PSG on a free transfer.
      Tielemans, 24, enjoyed a trophy-winning season with Brendan Rodgers’ side last term, helping them to an FA Cup win. 
      The Belgian buried a superb long-range shot during the Foxes’ 1-0 defeat of Chelsea in the contest’s final. 
      Tielemans earned a man of the match award for helping his club win their first-ever FA Cup. 
      COMPETITION: WIN ONE OF FOUR SUPERCARS OR A DREAM CAR AND £100k IN CASH

      And he netted six goals and provided four assists in 38 Premier League games with the Foxes finishing fifth and a point behind Chelsea.
      However, the player had a goalless run in the four games he appeared in for Belgium at Euro 2020.
      And the team were beaten by eventual tournament winners Italy in the quarter-finals. 
      Tielemans began his senior playing career at Anderlecht at the age of 16, where he enjoyed a four-season spell from 2013 to 2017 
      The midfielder spent two seasons at Monaco before sealing a January 2019 loan move to the Foxes 
      And the move was made permanent as part of a four-year deal for a fee of around £32million in July that year.
      The allure of competing for a Prem title and a possible Champions League trophy is thought to be a draw for the Belgium star. 
      And Liverpool, who finished third in the top tier last term, will be looking to reclaim the league title as well as Europe’s biggest club prize next season. 

      Meanwhile, Leicester could be set to lose Tieleman’s team-mate James Maddison. 
      The midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal this summer.
      And some reports claim the Coventry-born player is a number one transfer target for the Gunners.
