      by

      Wijnaldum has been linked with the likes of Chelsea, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
      But it is German champions Bayern who his representative Humphry Nijman has publicly stated as his preferred destination.
      Speaking on SPORT1 podcast Meine Bayern-Woche, he said: “Wijnaldum is a free transfer and keeps all options open.
      “FC Bayern is a great club. If you are interested in him, please feel free to speak to us.”
      When asked about his future back in March, Wijnaldum remained tight-lipped on where he will be playing his football next season.
      “It’s not as easy as everyone thinks it is to make some decisions about your future,” he said.
      “You have to think about everything and then first negotiate with the clubs and it’s so difficult and it’s why it takes so long.”
      Wijnaldum joined Liverpool from Newcastle for £23million in 2016 on a five-year deal.

      And he has been a revelation for Jurgen Klopp’s side, playing 232 times across five seasons, scoring 22 goals.
      He has won the Premier League and Champions League with Liverpool in what has been one of the most successful periods in the club’s recent history.
      One of his most memorable performances came against Barcelona in 2019 when he scored twice as the Reds fought back from three goals down to beat the Spanish giants 4-3 on aggregate in the Champions League semi-finals.

      Premier League side Leeds and Steven Gerrard’s Rangers have been linked with the Welshman, who has also been on loan at Derby and Bournemouth.
      And Wales boss Robert Page believes the Euro finals is a chance for Wilson to impress Klopp or future suitors.
      Page said: “First and foremost , playing for your country is the best thing as a professional footballer.
      “Then you have your individual reasons for wanting to do well, of course you do.
      “We all want to play at the top and have the best careers we possibly can as players.
      “If Harry has said that I absolutely get it. He doesn’t want to play Championship football for the rest of his career.

      “Knowing Harry as I do he is ambitious and wants to play at the very top and compete against the best week in week out.
      “From a selfish point of view he is going to want to have a good summer and put his name out there and be recognised. He is one of many who will have that same attitude.”
      Wilson, capped 24 times by Wales, scored a hat-trick for Mick McCarthy’s Cardiff in the 4-0 win over Birmingham last weekend.
      Last summer, Liverpool put a £20million price tag on Wilson, who has two years left on his Anfield contract.

      Liverpool ‘set £17m Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain transfer price tag with Borussia Dortmund interested in ex-Arsenal ace’

      by

      LIVERPOOL have reportedly slapped a £17million price tag on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s head.The former Arsenal man has barely started a game for the Reds this season, playing just 274 minutes across 14 appearances in all competitions.

      Fichajes reports Anfield chiefs will demand £17m for the versatile midfielder with Borussia Dortmund heavily interested.
      The Bundesliga outfit are thought to be keen on the 27-year-old with the view that he has plenty good years ahead of him.
      He could be brought in to replace Jadon Sancho with the England star reportedly set to return to the Prem with Manchester United and Chelsea interested.
      The 21-year-old is reportedly available for a cut-price £85m this summer.
      The report states Oxlade-Chamberlain has grown frustrated at a lack of opportunities under Jurgen Klopp.
      The Ox still has two years left on his contract on Merseyside where he earns £120,000 a week.
      But after Klopp’s failure to turn to him despite Liverpool’s torrid injury list and dwindling form, he could be looking for new employers.
      He signed a new four-year deal at Anfield in 2019 after switching from the Emirates two years previously in a £35m move.

      Oxlade-Chamberlain was unable to establish himself in the Liverpool side at the start of the season as injury kept him out of the first four months of the campaign.
      Dortmund will have no trouble funding a move if Sancho and Norwegian goal machine Erling Haaland are sold in the upcoming transfer window.
      The latest reports suggest Haaland could fetch as much as £154m with European giants circling to land his signature.

      Man Utd ‘can land Jadon Sancho for just £74m as Dortmund SLASH £36m off transfer fee.. but Solskjaer must act soon’

      by

      BORUSSIA DORTMUND have reportedly slashed their asking price for long-term Manchester United target Jadon Sancho to less than £80million ahead of the summer transfer window.According to SPORT, Dortmund have dropped their financial demands significantly and thus Sancho may be available for a fee in the region of £74-78m.

      That development poses as a major boost for potential suitors, including United who tried to sign him last summer.
      Ultimately, the Red Devils refused to meet the star winger’s staggering £110m release clause.
      However, if manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still wants to sign the England international then he will have to move fast.
      Dortmund are adamant that any offer for the 21-year-old must be lodged in good time so that the Bundesliga giants can buy a replacement.

      It seems like there will be another deadline this year and all interested parties will have time until the end of July to sign Sancho before the team jets out to training camp.
      This comes after Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc confirmed that a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ has been reached with Sancho that would allow him to leave in the summer.
      However, the same doesn’t apply for the club’s in-demand star striker Erling Haaland.

      Zorc said: “We already had a gentlemen’s agreement with Jadon last year that he can move under certain conditions.
      “However, this agreement doesn’t exist with Erling.”
      Liverpool have also been previously linked with Sancho but Jurgen Klopp’s attack is full of reliable options, such as Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota.
      Reports suggest that Klopp would only consider signing the former Manchester City ace if Salah – who has been linked with Real Madrid – left Anfield.

      Liverpool could have to fork out £40m on Ibrahima Konate transfer as RB Leipzig defender’s release clause is revealed

      by

      LIVERPOOL remain poised to sign RB Leipzig defender Ibrahima Konate despite the revelation that his release clause is £40million.The 21-year-old Frenchman has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield over the past few months.

      But The Telegraph are reporting that the buyout clause in his contract means the Reds will have to stump up £40m if they are to complete the deal.
      This could potentially prove difficult for Jurgen Klopp’s side following the announcement on Tuesday that Liverpool posted a pre-tax loss of £46million in the year up until May 2020.
      The absence of fans due to the coronavirus pandemic has meant Premier League clubs have not received any revenue from the gate.
      As a result, managers could find their hands tied when it comes to funds for transfers at the end of the season.
      However, The Mail believe Liverpool’s owners Fenway Sports Group are set to continue to invest in the team despite Covid’s financial impact.
      And high up on the list of priorities for the club’s summer dealings is to secure the impressive prospect Konate on a long-term contract.
      The centre-back has only featured 19 times in all competitions for Leipzig so far this season due to an ankle injury that kept him out for six weeks.
      His central defensive partner Dayot Upamecano has already completed his move away from the German side at the end of the season as he prepares to join domestic rivals Bayern Munich.

      Liverpool boast the most-valuable squad in the Premier League
      Meanwhile, Liverpool are keen to address the problems they have faced in their back line throughout the 2020-21 campaign.
      Long-term injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez led to midfielders Jordan Henderson and Fabinho being forced to fill in at the heart of their defence.
      The signing of Ozan Kabak and promotion of Nathaniel Phillips to the first team has calmed that issue somewhat, but Klopp will still be looking for some more stable cover for next season.
      Liverpool currently look set to miss out on the top four in the Premier League as they sit four points outside the Champions League places with just five games remaining.

      Liverpool transfer blow as RB Leipzig defender Ibrahima Konate signals intention to stay with Germans until summer 2023

      by

      LIVERPOOL transfer target Ibrahima Konate has declared his intention to stay at RB Leipzig beyond the end of the season.The 21-year-old youngster has been heavily linked with a move to Merseyside this summer after impressing in the Bundesliga.

      But in a recent interview the centre-back appeared to quash any speculation he could be on his way out of Leipzig in the near future.
      Speaking to BILD, he said: “There are often rumours in football and many believe them immediately.
      “I or my agents did not get a call from Liverpool. I also have big goals with RB Leipzig.
      “These are currently the best possible result in the Bundesliga, reaching the cup final and the Under-21 European Championship with France.
      “I have a contract until 2023 and contracts are there to fulfil them.”
      Konate has featured just 18 times for Leipzig this season after suffering an ankle injury which kept him out for six weeks over the Christmas period.
      But when he has played he has produced solid displays for the German side and helped them to second in the Bundesliga table, four points off leaders Bayern Munich.
      Konate’s central defensive partner Dayot Upamecano has already confirmed he is joining Bayern in the summer.

      How Virgil van Dijk compares to the rest of the PL’s defenders
      The £37million deal was confirmed by the German champions back in February.
      Meanwhile, Liverpool’s defensive problems have been a well-documented issue throughout this season.
      They suffered the long-term injury blow of Virgil van Dijk and shortly after also saw Joe Gomez ruled out for an extended period of time.
      Joel Matip has also been plagued with fitness issues, leading to midfielders Fabinho and Jordan Henderson filling in at the back, before the Reds signed Ozan Kabak in the January window.
      They have also been helped by the emergence of Nathaniel Phillips.
      However, Jurgen Klopp will still almost certainly want to strengthen before the start of the new season.
      Liverpool were knocked out of the Champions League in the quarter-finals by Real Madrid earlier this week.

      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 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.
