      Italian outlet Calciomercato have reported that Inter would allow one of Serie A’s strongest players to leave but not for less than 50 million euros.

      by

      LIVERPOOL are lining up a stunning £70million move for Real Madrid star Aurelien Tchouameni with the Spaniards targeting Jude Bellingham, according to reports.

      Tchouameni has impressed during his debut campaign in the Spanish capital and was part of the side that won the Club World Cup in February.
      The Frenchman was also on the scoresheet as France beat England 2-1 in the World Cup quarter final in Qatar.
      Despite only joining Carlo Ancelotti’s side last summer, in a deal reportedly worth in excess of £85m, Spanish outlet El Nacional have reported the midfielder could be on the move again with Liverpool planning a similar move.
      The report also adds that Tchouameni has been “slower than expected” in adapting to life in Madrid, but he is highly thought of by the club’s hierarchy, who could be unwilling to let him go.

      Lewandowski laughed in face of Premier League manager over transfer offer after having Man Utd dream dashed

      by

      ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI has revealed he laughed at Jurgen Klopp when the Liverpool boss made a cheeky transfer offer.Lewandowski’s ex-Borussia Dortmund manager had STOPPED the strike legend joining Manchester United six years earlier in 2011.
      Robert Lewandowski was linked with Prem clubs, mainly Man Utd, before joining Barcelona from Bayern Munich in July 2022Credit: Getty
      And the former Bayern Munich hero, now in scorching form for Barcelona, admits he was stunned when Klopp asked him about moving to Anfield.
      It came when Bayern hosted Liverpool in the 2017 Audi Cup.
      Lewandowski told Bild: “We spoke on that occasion. Klopp asked me, ‘Don’t you want to come to Liverpool?’ 
      “We looked at each other, then I laughed.

      “I don’t know if he was totally serious. But going to Liverpool was never in my mind.”
      The form of Lewandowski, 34, is as hot as ever as he closes on LaLiga title glory in his first season with Barca.
      The Poland superstar has notched 27 goals in 34 games across all competitions for the Spanish giants.
      That compares to netting 344 times in 375 appearances for Bayern, where he won the Champions League and eight Bundesliga crowns.

      It followed two German titles with Klopp’s Dortmund.
      But he admits he was thrilled when Old Trafford chief Sir Alex Ferguson called him 12 years ago.
      Lewandowski, however, was less delighted by the fact he struggled to understand Fegie’s Scottish accent!
      And although he “wanted to go to Man Utd” Klopp ruled it out by saying: “No chance – we need you.” More

      ‘It just can’t happen right now’ – Thomas Tuchel to block Liverpool from signing key transfer target

      by

      BAYERN MUNICH boss Thomas Tuchel is set to block Liverpool from signing Ryan Gravenberch, according to reports. The Reds are supposedly in the market for a midfielder this summer with the likes of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain out of contract at the end of the season.

      Gravenberch is reportedly a target for Liverpool in a £25million move, but the deal is set to be blocked by Tuchel.
      The new boss is keen to hand all his players a chance to prove themselves at the club.
      Gravenberch was signed by Bayern last summer from Ajax for a fee of £16million.
      However, he failed to establish himself under previous boss Julian Nagelsmann, starting just four games this season.

      Journalist Ben Jacobs reports that Liverpool’s move for the 20-year-old “just can’t happen right now”.
      He says: “Gravenberch didn’t enjoy playing under Nagelsmann.
      “Now that Nagelsmann has gone, Tuchel will give everybody a fair chance.
      “Gravenberch is a phenomenal talent, has got physicality, intelligence and dynamism.

      “But he just needs shaping a little bit to understand that game management. That will come with age and experience.
      “Therefore, Tuchel will absolutely give him a fair chance. And because there’s so little time left in the season, that is likely to extend into the pre-season as well.
      “That means that links with Liverpool coming back in are very much premature at this stage.
      “Unless there’s a scenario where the player is really saying he’s unhappy and driving that exit, I just don’t think he will leave.
      “And when you get a new manager coming in, it will be the opposite with Gravenberch.
      “He’ll be looking to make a statement and prove to Tuchel that he’s worthy of playing, starting and contributing.” More

      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.

      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.

      They face Chelsea to get a better look at their possible targets on Tuesday before welcoming league leaders Arsenal to Anfield next weekend. More

      “But in the end when he finishes his career at 36 or 37 or whatever, if he can say then, ‘The most difficult year of my career was the first’, or the second in his case maybe, that’s absolutely OK because all the others were better and we did the right things in the first two.
      “So, that’s what we try to do now with him.”
      The Liverpool boss recently revealed that he has already put plans in place for the 2023-24 campaign.
