      Liverpool ‘to launch shock transfer swoop for Chelsea star Conor Gallagher with Jurgen Klopp desperate for fresh legs’

      by

      LIVERPOOL are reportedly lining up a surprise move for Conor Gallagher to bolster their midfield after a poor season. Jurgen Klopp’s side have been a far cry from the Liverpool of recent years and not least because of a lack of depth in midfield.

      The Reds are rumoured to be looking to change that in the summer with the addition of Chelsea and England star, Conor Gallagher.
      The Independent have reported that Klopp is looking to overhaul his midfield and feels Gallagher is the right man for the job.
      The Blues man has had a mixed season with Graham Potter’s side, starting only nine games in the league so far.
      Gallagher impressed last season whilst on loan at Crystal Palace and was nominated for PFA Young Player of the Year.

      The central midfielder was linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in January with Everton and Newcastle supposedly interested.
      Liverpool may face competition for the Englishman’s signature, but will be encouraged by Chelsea’s need to sell.
      The London club find themselves in a position where they need to offload players having spent £323million in January.
      Gallagher isn’t the only midfielder they’re hoping to lure away from Chelsea with rumours swirling about a move for Mason Mount too.

      The Merseyside club were comfortably dismantled by Manchester City on Saturday in a 4-1 defeat and currently sit in eighth spot.
      They face Chelsea to get a better look at their possible targets on Tuesday before welcoming league leaders Arsenal to Anfield next weekend. More

      Despite only agreeing a professional contract in October, the Seagulls are now preparing fresh terms to ward off any interest.
      Ferguson’s form since making the step up to the first team has caught the eye of the Premier League’s big clubs.

      Moises Caicedo, Solly March, Alexis Mac Allister and Adam Lallana have all agreed contract extensions since De Zerbi’s arrival last year.
      And Japan international Kaoru Mitoma could soon be due one as well. More

      Spanish newspaper AS claim Real Madrid will not fork out more than £88million for Bellingham.
      The La Liga giants are adamant that they will not overpay for the 19-year-old.
      It’s thought Real hope to persuade Bellingham to snub a Premier League move and tempt him to the Bernabeu thanks to the club’s “legendary history”.
      But Real are refusing to enter a bidding war for Bellingham – on both the transfer fee and his salary.

      The club know any potential fee is in the same sort of ballpark as what they would have to pay for a striker.
      Karim Benzema is 35-years-old and Real know buying a new goalscorer in the near future will not be cheap, meaning they do not want to overpay for Bellingham.
      Liverpool and City are reported to be the two front runners for his signature.
      Borussia Dortmund are also hopeful of keeping Bellingham for another season, and reportedly plan on offering him a contract extension with a mammoth pay rise and release clause for 2024.

      Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke are said to be good friends.
