  Liverpool are moving in on their first signing of the summer transfer window as the father of Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister is set to arrive in England tomorrow to finalise the deal.  That is according to Argentinian journalist German Garcia Grova, who reports that Mac Allister’s father arrives in Liverpool tomorrow to go over the final details of his contract and to start finalising the move to Anfield. The World Cup winner will sign a contract at the Merseyside club until 2028 and will cost the Reds around €70m. This is the first piece in Jurgen Klopp’s puzzle to help Liverpool get back to competing at the top and other midfielders are expected to follow to strengthen the German’s midfield. Mac Allister has had a huge season in his career at Brighton playing a pivotal role in the Seagull’s qualifying for the Europa League next season and that was not exclusive to club football as the Argentina star helped change his country’s fortunes at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. ...

  Liverpool are reportedly close to a full agreement with Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister as they hope to get the deal done as soon as possible. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, writing from his official Twitter account, the Reds could get this transfer all sealed by June, with the Argentina international seemingly quite likely to accept a move to Anfield if his information is anything to go by.  Liverpool need a midfield  overhaul this summer, with Mac Allister looking like a perfect fit for Jurgen Klopp’s style of football. LFC are set to bid farewell to James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain at the end of this season, and they arguably never truly replaced influential former star Georginio Wijnaldum. Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara have also not been at their best this season, so Mac Allister looks an ideal signing to help Klopp get this team firing again next term.

  It was an emotional day at Anfield as Liverpool said goodbye to two great servants of the club, James Milner and Roberto Firmino. Both were able to come on in the match against Aston Villa, and the Brazilian capped his cameo by scoring the goal that cancelled out Jacob Ramsey’s earlier strike. After the match, Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, paid a glowing tribute to the pair and their abilities. It was clear from the effusiveness of his praise that the German is going to miss them just as much as anyone else.

  Sporting CP midfielder Manuel Ugarte has been linked with a move to Liverpool. The 22-year-old Uruguayan could be on the move this summer, with a move to Liverpool representing a significant step up in his career. According to Rodrigo Romano, the Reds have begun negotiations with Sporting CP about a summer transfer. Jorge Mendes, the player’s agent, is currently mediating talks between the two parties. Ugarte has been a key player for Sporting CP and could be a fantastic addition to Liverpool’s squad. The Reds are in need of middle-field reinforcements, and the Uruguayan would be an excellent fit. He would strengthen Jurgen Klopp’s midfield with defensive cover, physicality, drive, and work-rate. Ugarte’s performances in European competitions this season against Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have been highly impressive, and he has the potential to succeed in the Premier League as well. The midfielder’s contract includes a €60 million release clause, and it remains to be seen whet...

  Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has been linked with a move away from the German club at the end of the season. The 20-year-old central midfielder has struggled for regular game time since his €25 million move at the start of the campaign and he is ready to move on this summer. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Liverpool and Newcastle United are keen on signing the Dutchman and they are prepared to provide him with an exit route this summer. Apparently, the two clubs are willing to shell out €50 million for the talented young central midfielder this summer. Manchester United have expressed their interest in signing the young midfielder as well. Liverpool are in need of central midfield reinforcements, and they will have to replace outgoing players like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and James Milner. All three players will be free agents at the end of the season. A move to Anfield could allow Gravenberch to play more often and a manager like Jurgen Klopp could hel...

  Liverpool midfielder James Milner has rejected an offer from Leeds United and is now edging close to a move to Brighton. His current contract with the club ends this summer and it has been reported that the Merseyside club are not expected to renew his deal. According to Football Insider, those interested in the veteran Premier League star included Burnley, Nottingham Forest, Everton, Brighton, and his former club Leeds United. But according to the reports, he turned down interest from the Whites and has now verbally agreed to sign for Brighton. Brighton could benefit with a player of James Milner’s quality who is a true professional and model for young players both on and off the pitch. And if they do play in Europe next season, Brighton could do with the experience that he will bring having won all major trophies with Liverpool.

  Darwin Nunez’s debut season at Liverpool has been a mixed bag of impressive goals and baffling misses, and he continued this trend in their recent match against Brentford. Mo Salah gave Liverpool an early lead finishing off a brilliant move to make it 1-0. And Darwin Nunez had a chance to make it 2-0 when Trent picked him out from the midfield with a gorgeous pass. But the Uruguayan failed to convert from 6 yards out as he fired it wide.

  Liverpool looking to bring in defensive reinforcements at the end of the season and they have identified the Sporting CP defender Goncalo Inacio as a target. A report from Le Parisien claims that Liverpool will face competition from Paris Saint-Germain for the talented young defender but they are better placed to sign the 21-year-old this summer. Inácio is valued at €45 million (£40m) and it will be interesting to see if Liverpool are prepared to fork out that kind of money to secure his services. The 21-year-old is a prodigiously talented defender with a big future ahead of him. He has all the attributes to develop into a top-class player and working with a manager like Jurgen Klopp could help him fulfil his potential. The German manager has done well to nurture talented young players during his time at Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool. He is likely to have a positive influence on the development of the Portuguese defender as well. Players like Joel Matip and Joe Gomez ...

  Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is a big fan of Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes According to Fichajes, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has identified Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes as the key cog in his midfield rebuild. The Reds have an ageing midfield and are in immense need of a revamp. The upcoming summer transfer window presents Klopp with the ideal opportunity to strengthen his roster. Liverpool in recent years have earmarked certain players to fit their system and this summer is the same. The man on their radar is Guimaraes, who is a key cog in Newcastle United’s rise up the table. The 25-year-old is in the prime of his career and has transformed Eddie Howe’s side. Klopp is sold on the idea of bringing him to Anfield and there is little argument that the Brazilian will add energy to this Reds’ outfit. Liverpool could test Newcastle’s resolve with a €100m offer but even if the Reds cough up the money, it remains far from certain that they will sell. With middle east...

  Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are among the clubs eyeing up the potential transfer of Celta Vigo wonderkid Gabri Veiga this summer. The talented young midfielder has been a joy to watch in La Liga this season, and Ben Jacobs has provided exclusive insight into what could be in store for him in this summer’s transfer market. Veiga has an impressive record of nine goals and four assists from midfield this term – not bad for a 20-year-old who is in his first season as a regular starter for his club. According to Jacobs, Arsenal have a long-standing interest in Veiga, while Liverpool and Manchester City will also be clubs to watch in the race for the Spain Under-21 international. Jacobs also says Real Madrid could be in contention to sign Veiga and keep him in Spain, but it would certainly be exciting to see what this top prospect could do in the Premier League. Virtually every top club in Europe has been tracking Gabri Veiga,” Jacobs explained....

  The Reds boss was visibly frustrated with the performance of Tierney throughout the clash and it spilled over towards the end. Following Diogo Jota’s last-minute winner, Klopp celebrated in the fourth official’s face and commented on Tierney’s poor performance after the final whistle. Klopp stated in a post-match interview with Sky Sports via the BBC: “ 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.”  Following Klopp’s comments and behaviour at Anfield on Sunday, the Liverpool boss now faces a lengthy ban, reports the Times. The report states that Klopp’s poor disciplinary record is likely to contribute to a lengthy suspension, as he is expected to be charged for his comments ...

  It would be fair to say the rumor mill has gone into overdrove after Liverpool pulled out of the race to sign Jude Bellingham, with the Reds' quest for alternatives capturing the imagination. Now, one heavily-linked ace has been tipped to find success at Anfield by fans of his former employers. The same names have had a habit of cropping up in recent weeks when it comes to players who Jürgen Klopp may target as a potential reinforcement for his midfield this summer. By now the majority of observers will be well-acquainted with Ryan Gravenberch who has been linked with a move to Liverpool from Bayern Munich ahead of the upcoming transfer window. The former Ajax wonderkid has struggled to settle at the Allianz Arena since moving there last summer from Ajax, but will still be high up on the wishlists for a lot of supporters in the next few months. Despite his recent woes, it seems that the midfielder, who is valued at $33m (£27m/€30m) by Transfermarkt and move to Germany for that so...
