      Arsenal learn Moises Caicedo price as fans complain transfer will cost ‘almost as much as Bellingham’

      by

      ARSENAL have learned how much they will need to pay in order to land Moises Caicedo after Brighton reportedly named their asking price. Caicedo, who starred in Brighton’s 1-0 win over Manchester United, was the subject of a £70million bid from the Gunners in the January transfer window.

      However, the Seagulls rejected this offer and Caicedo has remained a key part of Roberto de Zerbi’s set-up on the south coast after signing a new long-term contract running to 2027.
      But now Brighton have named their asking price for any potential suitors for the midfielder.
      According to Sky Sports, they will expect offers “well in excess” of the £70m offer submitted by Arsenal in January.
      The report adds that Brighton will not stand in the 21-year-old’s way if a suitable bid is arrives this summer.

      Arsenal have retained their interest in Caicedo, with the Ecuador international reportedly one of the top names on Mikel Arteta’s six-man summer shopping list.
      Caicedo’s strong form this season has also piqued the interest of clubs such as Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea.
      Reacting to the news online, one Twitter user said: “Bellingham won’t go for much more than that.
      “Good player but I’d be disappointed if we paid that for him after saying Jude was too expensive.”

      A second typed: “Caicedo is not worth £100m. Yes he’s good but that’s just a scam.”
      A third wrote: “If Brighton demand £100m+ for Caicedo we should walk. He’s not worth that and neither is Declan Rice.”
      The same policy goes for fellow Brighton star Alexis Mac Allister, who has reportedly held talks with Man Utd over a transfer. More

      Premier League sides were keen on his signature, but Madrid are close to sealing a deal on a contract worth £12million-a-year, according to Marca.
      Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea have all been tipped with an interest in the midfielder.
      Liverpool dropped out of the race last month after discovering that a transfer would be too expensive.
      Whereas now they have been joined by Man City on the wayside.

      The report suggests that Bellingham has opted to move to the Santiago Bernabeu despite being offered more money by the Premier League side.
      The Spanish outlet claims that Madrid have been planning the transfer for over a year and now have an “agreement in principle”.

      This deal will see the Englishman become a Madrid player on June 30 and will sign a contract until 2029.
      However, the clubs are believed still yet to have agreed a fee.

      German outlet BILD is suggesting that Dortmund are asking for £124million, while Madrid are prepared to offer between £90m and £105m.
      But Marca, suggests that the “friendly” Dortmund will “not push the operation” back and will take a lower fee.
      Should the transfer go through it would be a major coup for Madrid.
      Bellingham will be hoped to ease the loss of veterans Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, who are both approaching the end of their careers.
      He is seen as the long-term successor for the latter.
      And it’s reckoned Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni have both spoken to Bellingham about joining them in Spain.

      But his mood switched when the topic changed to referee Paul Tiernery’s decision to award a soft free kick to Spurs before Richarlison’s equaliser and his celebration following Jota’s stoppage-time winner.
      He told Sky Sports: “My celebration towards the fourth official, I didn’t say any bad words or nothing.
      “But it was unnecessary that I got punished immediately. I pulled my hamstring or abductor, or whatever. So fine, that’s fair.
      “But what he said to me when he gave me the yellow card – pfff.”

      The interviewer tried to get the German to elaborate by saying: “Go on.”

      Klopp then tried to walk away, prompting the interviewer to say: “Hang on.”
      A fired-up Klopp then said: “I said what I wanted to say, so there’s no extra question.”

      He said: “We have our history with Tierney, I really don’t know what he has against us.
      “He has said there [are] no problems but that cannot be true.
      “How he looks at me, I don’t understand it.
      “In England nobody has to clarify these situations, it’s really tricky and hard to understand.
      “What he said to me when he gave me the yellow card is not OK.”

      I’m an ex-Liverpool defender… Klopp put me up front against Arsenal when I was drunk and we got a last minute equaliser

      by

      STEVEN CAULKER has revealed he was left “sh***** himself” before his Liverpool debut – when Jurgen Klopp threw him on as a striker against Arsenal. The defender was a surprise loan signing from QPR in Klopp’s first season as Liverpool manager.

      But things were not going well off the pitch for the star and he has opened up in recent days over his issue with alcohol.
      Caulker had been drinking the night before the Anfield clash with Arsenal and wondered if he was even sober enough to play.
      But events would take an even stranger turn when Klopp famously subbed him on to play up front – with Liverpool nicking a dramatic late draw.
      Caulker told the popular Under the Cosh podcast: “I was sh***** myself and thought ‘I’m gonna start here.’ Because they had seven centre-halves out injured.

      “And I was thinking ‘Oh my God, am I even sober? How the f*** am I going to do this? That train journey up, I was panicking because I hadn’t been taking care of myself, I was a mess. 
      “I don’t remember who played centre-half but [Klopp] put someone else in. He said to me ‘go warm up’ but we were losing 3-2. But he said ‘no, you’re coming on. I’m going to put you up front’.
      “We ended up getting the equaliser and after the game he just came over high-fiving me [and saying] that they all think it’s crazy until it works.”
      Caulker made himself a nuisance in the box in his cameo appearance but it was Adam Lallana who volleyed home in the dying seconds of the game.

      The two players would also be at the centre of another dramatic finale only 10 days later.
      Norwich had drawn level with the Reds at Carrow Road to make it 4-4 in stoppage time.
      But then Caulker – again playing in an advanced position – would see his effort blocked before Lallana scored an incredible late winner.
      Caulker, now 31, would move to clubs in Scotland and Turkey before eventually coming home earlier this year as he joined Championship side Wigan. More

      Klopp outraged refs’ bosses with his claim that Tierney was biased against his side.
      That came despite Tierney leaving Spurs boss Ryan Mason incandescent for not dismissing match winner Diogo Jota for splitting Oliver Skipp’s head open with a high boot 
      Klopp went before the Sky cameras to claim: “We have our history with Tierney, I really don’t know what he has against us.
      “He has said there [are] no problems but that cannot be true.”

      Klopp’s comments seemed a blatant breach of FA rules 
      The German was booked for celebrating Jota’s winner by steaming up to fourth official John Brooks.
      And while Klopp escaped with a caution rather than a red card, PGMOL bosses are furious.
      In a strongly-worded and unusual statement, a spokesman said: “PGMOL is aware of the comments made by Jurgen Klopp after his side’s fixture with Tottenham Hotspur.

      That is according to the Daily Mail, who say Arsenal and Liverpool are two of a number of Premier League clubs looking at Majer.
      Ligue 1 club Rennes reportedly value Majer at £30million.
      He signed for the French outfit in 2021 from Dinamo Zagreb, scoring six goals and providing eight assists in the league in his debut campaign.
      However, Majer has started just 13 times in Ligue 1 this season.

      The Mail say Majer is not starting as many games as he would like to.

      And while Tottenham often have representatives at Rennes to watch Djed Spence in action, the Gunners and Liverpool are said to hold a greater interest in Majer than Spurs.
      The midfielder was previously been linked with a move to Manchester United back in January.

      by

      The Athletic’s David Ornstein reckons Brighton are favourites ahead of promoted Burnley to land the former Manchester City star.
      “Wow!” and “What!” were among the stunned responses from supporters on social media.
      Milner has won the Prem, Champions League and FA Cup in his eight years at Anfield.
      Before that he helped City lift the top-flight crown twice, as well as tasting victory in the FA Cup and EFL Cup.

      Now it’s thought likely he’ll join fellow ex-Liverpool star Adam Lallana, 34, at the Amex Stadium.
      The Athletic suggest Klopp would prefer to keep Milner but there’s been “no indication” of Reds’ chiefs proposing a new contract.
      Brighton must wait until his current deal expires before making any approach.
      But the Seagulls are said to have discussed the signing “internally” and regard him as an ideal recruit for manager Roberto De Zerbi’s passing style.

      Liverpool fans appeared divided over Milner’s possible departure.
      One posted: “Hope we keep him and sell that loser injury prone clown Thiago. I hope legends like Milner, Henderson and Fabinho stay and try and develop Jones.”
      But another argued: “He is actually not that bad, he is so much better than Henderson.”
      And a third supporter urged the Reds to attempt a cheeky exchange deal.
      He wrote: “Milner swap for Mac” – a reference to Brighton’s much-wanted Argentina midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. More
