      Luis Suarez ‘could seal shock Liverpool transfer return in summer over frustrations with Simeone’s Atletico tactics’

      by

      LUIS SUAREZ could make a shock return to Liverpool, according to reports.The Atletico Madrid forward, 34, is understood to be frustrated with Diego Simeone’s tactics.

      Spanish outlet Todofichajes state the pair have a ‘difficult’ relationship which could result in the striker leaving – with a clause in his contract enabling him to leave this summer with no penalty.
      And the report adds Suarez could be open to a transfer back to Liverpool, seven years after leaving Anfield for Barcelona.
      However, David Beckham’s Inter Miami could be another potential suitor with an MLS swansong an option.
      After 198 goals in 283 appearances for the Catalan giants, he left in acrimonious circumstances last summer.
      The four-time LaLiga winner signed for Atletico on a two-year, £5.5million deal and hit the ground running.
      He has 19 goals this season as Simeone’s side sit top of the table and he chases the golden boot.
      But the high-pressing, energetic style means Suarez feels ‘physically drained’ and looking for a move away from the Wanda Metropolitano.
      He picked up an injury during training on Wednesday with the club not providing a time scale on his absence – although he will surely do everything he can to be fit to face Barca in a crunch clash on May 9.

      Liverpool have been linked with bringing in a new No9 this summer, especially if they lose one of their fearsome front three.
      Roberto Firmino has six goals in 39 games this term while superstars Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe may be targeted when the transfer market reopens.

      Liverpool face Mo Salah transfer conundrum with ‘growing sense in squad that £100m winger wants to leave’

      by

      LIVERPOOL face an uncertain wait over Mohamed Salah’s future amid reports the talismanic winger wants a new challenge.According to ESPN, the Anfield dressing room is becoming increasingly concerned that the Egyptian wants to leave.

      While intermediaries familiar with the club are said to believe that a big-money exit may no longer be out of the question.
      Salah, 28, has excelled in each of his four years with Liverpool, even netting 18 league goals during this season’s failed title defence.
      The Reds are not beleived to be concerned over his immediate future, with the Egyptian under contract until 2023.
      But failure to qualify for next season’s Champions League could hasten a shake-up.
      Jurgen Klopp’s side pulled within two points of the top-four by beating Arsenal on Saturday, capitalising on Chelsea’s shock home thrashing at the hands of West Brom.
      Salah scored in between Diogo Jota’s brace in the 3-0 win, securing back-to-back wins for the defending champions after a horror start to 2021.
      Winning the Champions League itself is still a possibility and Real Madrid welcome the side to the Spanish capital for the first leg of their quarter-final tie on Tuesday.

      Both Madrid and Barcelona have been linked with a bid of around £100m for his services.
      And, ahead of the game, the player refused to rule out a future move to LaLiga.
      Salah told Marca: “It is not up to me. We’ll see what happens but I prefer not to talk about this now.”
      He added: “I hope I can play football for many, many years.

      “Why not? Nobody knows what will happen in the future.
      “So… Maybe one day.”
      Liverpool are set for talks with the forward and Egyptian FA over his potential participation in the Olympics, which would rule him out of the early weeks of next season.

      Erling Haaland transfer boost for Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City as Dortmund’s Champions League hopes hit by loss

      by

      ERLING HAALAND’S future at Borussia Dortmund was put further in doubt on Saturday as his side fell further behind in pursuit of a Champions League place.Eintracht Frankfurt struck three minutes from time to hand Dortmund a tenth Bundesliga defeat of the season, going down 2-1 at home.

      The result leaves Haaland and co seven points adrift of Frankfurt, who occupy the all-important fourth Champions League qualification place.
      Dortmund’s domestic struggles have arisen despite Haaland’s truly sensational campaign.
      The Norwegian has scored 33 goals in 32 games so far this season, 21 of which have come in the Bundesliga.
      The best route now for Dortmund to get into the Champions League next season may well be to win the competition.
      The German side have progressed through to the last eight but face the ominous task of taking on Pep Guardiola’s ruthless Manchester City side.
      Dortmund have not reached the last four of Europe’s premier competition since they made it to the final in 2013 when they were beaten by Bayern Munich.
      Meanwhile, speculation surrounding Haaland continues to rumble on.
      And those rumours around the 20-year-old’s future took another twist this week as his father Alf-Inge and agent Mino Raiola travelled to Spain to meet both Barcelona and Real Madrid.

      A number of Premier League clubs are also being linked with Haaland.
      Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool have all been touted as possible destinations for him at the end of the season and it was reported Raiola met with the English sides on Friday.
      But the German club have set their price at £135million, with Haaland’s release clause of £65m not coming into play until next summer.

      Erling Haaland’s agent set to fly to England TODAY for transfer talks with Chelsea, City and Liverpool – but NOT Man Utd

      by

      ERLING HAALAND’S agent Mino Raiola is set to fly to England TODAY for transfer talks with Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool but NOT Manchester United.The super agent was spotted flying into Barcelona and Madrid alongside the player’s father Alfe-Inge Haaland on Thursday to hold talks with the El Clasico sides.

      Haaland’s dad Alf-Inge accompanied the super agent on the trip
      And it was reported that a further three interested teams were due to begin negotiations around a potential deal for Borussia Dortmund’s prized asset.
      The Mail reports Raiola and Haaland senior will arrive in England to hold talks with multiple Premier League giants.
      Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool are expected to welcome the pair but SunSport understands United will not meet with Haaland’s agent, who also represents Paul Pogba.
      However, the Red Devils are waiting in the wings and keeping tabs on his situation.
      The Norwegian has a £65million release clause in his Dortmund contract but it cannot be activated until the end of next season.
      And after bagging an incredible 33 goals in just 31 games in all competitions this season – many clubs are not prepared to wait for a chance to secure his services.
      The 20-year-old has become arguably the hottest property in world football and Dortmund will demand around £150m for him this summer.
      But the Bundesliga side are reluctant to sell their star man with Dortmund’s sporting director Michael Zorc revealing he has told Raiola they are planning for the long-term future with Haaland in mind.

      Man Utd’s biggest transfers ever, both in and out, including Ronaldo

      On Thuesday, Zorc told Sky Germany: “I spoke to Raiola yesterday (Wednesday). We made our intention clear.
      “We plan for the long term with Erling. [Rumours] do not have to be dealt with at all. I can see him with us for a long time.”
      Manchester City have been installed by many as Haaland’s most likely destination after dad Alf-Inge played for Citizens from 2000 to 2003.
      But Pep Guardiola dashed hopes of a mega money move – which SunSport revealed could cost a total of £300m – to replace the departing Sergio Aguero.
      In his Friday press conference, the Spanish boss said: “With these prices we will not buy any striker. It’s impossible. We will not afford it. All the clubs struggle. We are not an exception.
      “I don’t know what is going to happen. Today, there is more chance we will not buy a striker next season.”
      Chelsea have been linked with Haaland and Aguero but Thomas Tuchel remained coy when talking about players at other clubs.

      The unbeaten German boss said: “Same answer as for Haaland. We have full respect for Man City.
      “There is no words needed, he’s a world-class player. But we have three competitions in which we are in with City so I won’t speak about their players.”
      United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer worked with compatriot Haaland at Molde but insisted it is up to the youngster to make his own mind up about where he heads next.
      He said: “Even though I worked with Erling it’s not right for me as Manchester United manager to talk about Erling, he will make his own mind up.
      “I’m focusing on the next two months and whatever happens in the world of football there is only so many places anyone can go to and I just, focus on the ones who are here.”
      Haaland only joined Dortmund from RB Salzburg in January 2020 but with 49 goals in as many games he has certainly caught the eye of Europe’s top sides.

      Liverpool linked with shock Memphis Depay transfer as ‘Jurgen Klopp looks to muscle ahead of Barcelona for Man Utd flop’

      by

      LIVERPOOL have been linked with a shock move for ex-Manchester United forward Memphis Depay.Jurgen Klopp’s side have struggled for goals since the turn of the year as question marks begin to be asked about their long-time front three Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah.

      And while Diogo Jota has come in this season to freshen things up in an attacking sense, the Reds are thought to be seeking more options in the transfer window.
      According to Marca, Liverpool are considering a bid for Depay, who has impressed since joining Lyon in 2017.
      In 169 appearances for the French side, he has scored 69 times and provided a further 52 assists.
      And with his contract coming to an end this summer, Klopp’s men could be poised to land him on a free transfer.
      Depay left the Premier League for Lyon after a disappointing spell with Man Utd.
      The Dutchman netted just seven times in 53 games for the Red Devils before being offloaded by Jose Mourinho just 18 months after he had signed.
      But now, aged just 27, he may be set for a second chance in England.
      However, there is also interest in Depay from elsewhere in Europe, most notably Spanish giants Barcelona.

      A number of teams are said to still be in the running for his signature with no transfer announced yet.
      But Leipzig’s chances of keeping Konate appear to be dwindling amid the latest reports from the Bundesliga club.
      According to Sky Germany, he is growing increasingly dissatisfied with being stuck on the bench.
      Not since December has the Frenchman started a game for Leipzig and he watched both defeats to Liverpool in their recent Champions League encounter as a substitute.
      Ankle and muscle injuries have hampered Konate’s availability this season but he returned to fitness in February, only to see 40 minutes of action since.
      Last month, The Athletic reported on Liverpool nearing a deal to sign the 21-year-old.

      Medical checks are said to be already underway but RMC Sport indicate that Konate’s camp remains cautious over the switch.
      Manchester United and Chelsea have also been linked with the centre-back as they look to bolster their defence for next season.
      Although is Liverpool, currently without Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip, who have struggled most at the back.
      Konate has asserted that he is remaining focused on his football amid the reports, recently stating: “I woke up, I saw my phone ringing all over the place.

      “I just wanted to tell them, ‘Hey, I played yesterday, I’m tired, leave me alone’.
      “Frankly, I don’t even watch this. We can’t focus on that, there are the Euros and then my return to the club.
      “You have to focus on that and not on the external things.”

      Liverpool ‘finalising’ £34m Ibrahima Konate transfer from RB Leipzig in blow to Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea

      Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal have all been trying to acquire the services of Konate.
      But according to The Athletic it is Liverpool who are closing in on putting pen to paper.
      Journalist David Ornstein has revealed that the Reds have made ‘significant progress’ when it comes to a deal for Konate.
      It is thought Jurgen Klopp’s side will be forced to pay a minimum of £34million in order to trigger the Frenchman’s release clause.
      Konate has endured an injury-plagued start to his career since joining RB Leipzig from Sochaux in 2017.
      The France Under-21 international has made only 17 Bundesliga appearances since the start of last season, having suffered from a muscle tear and an ankle issue.
      But when he has been able to take to the field, he has impressed alongside compatriot Dayot Upamecano.
      With Upamecano having already agreed to join Bayern Munich in the summer, however, it remains to be seen whether RB Leipzig will be willing to also cash in on their other prodigious French defender.

      And that depleted defence has been breached far too often since the turn of the year as the defending Premier League champions have slipped to seventh in the table.

      Liverpool star Divock Origi eyed by Inter Milan in summer transfer with Klopp open to offers to help raise funds

      by

      INTER MILAN are reportedly eyeing up a summer move for Liverpool striker Divock Origi with Jurgen Klopp keen to cash in on the player.The 25-year-old has been limited to just nine appearances in the Premier League this season after falling down the pecking order following the arrival of Diogo Jota.

      Origi – who has three years left to run on his deal at Anfield – looks set to depart Merseyside having started just twice in the top-flight this term.
      According to Calciomercato, Antonio Conte is lining up a move for the Belgium international to bolster his attack.
      Conte wants more competition for Romelu Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez and Alexis Sanchez, and believes Origi could challenge for a starting spot.
      Former Chelsea boss Conte has mad a habit of signing players from the Premier League – with Lukaku and Sanchez making the switch to the San Siro alongside Ashley Young and Christian Eriksen.
      Inter are also interested in Parma’s Gervinho, Cagliari’s Leonardo Pavoletti and Sassuolo’s Gianluca Scamacca, but it is understood Origi is their top target.
      It has been claimed that Liverpool are more than happy to part ways with the ex-Lille ace as they look to raise funds for their own transfer business.
      The report states that the Premier League champions would be willing to sell Origi for a fee in the region of £13million.
      Inter are said to face competition from Borussia Dortmund in the race to secure Origi’s services.
      But the Bundesliga outfit would only make a move for the former Wolsburg loanee should Erling Haaland depart Signal Iduna Park in the summer.

      It was reported last month that Origi was one of a number of players that the Reds were keen to offload at the end of the campaign.
      Xherdan Shaqiri, Harry Wilson, Sheyi Ojo and Marko Grujc are all understood to be up for sale.
      And they could follow Georginio Wijnaldum out the door with the Dutch midfielder claimed to have agreed to join Barcelona on a free transfer.
