Liverpool FC Premier League Champions 24/25 - Talk /Gossip/Rumours

Considering there are 3 in that 7 what are very likely to leave I would hope not, 4 attackers for a season where we 100% lose Salah for a month would be madness. Diaz, Chiesa and Nunez look nailed on to leave

Seen plenty of comments

Ian Doyle in the Echo yesterday after he scored a hattrick against Stoke:

"Nunez, then, may not be finished at Anfield just yet. Regardless, the Uruguayan is sending a timely reminder of why Liverpool made him a record buy in the first place."

Basically wrote that he's pretty much out the door but circumstances might give him a chance of staying and loads of people online saying sure give him a chance next season

I simply cant see it

How did we get Ekitike for an initial £69m when Newcastle had an apparent £70m bid rejected? Either that was their total bid including add-ons or we stole him from them for less than they offered.

In the first half of the Stoke game it was a box midfield, Nyoni and Jones occupied the deeper positions. Szoboszlai lined up at full back but his position was fluid. He was wide on the right or occupying his usual position with runs into the box. There was good link up between him and Wirtz feeding balls through to Nunez, Ngumoha and Salah.

New hair, new Nunez.

Ah man, you were so close to greatness there all ya had to do was...

New hair, New-nez! 😉

A jigsaw with one missing piece is easy to solve. This squad is now a complicated puzzle, the pieces are there, but putting it together could take a while.

I can't see it as a case of this is the best 11, that play week in week out. There will be a lot of rotation, not just every match day, but in games.

Sobo is no bench warmer. He's an unsung hero, does all the work no one notices, until he's not there to do it.

I hope France call Ekitike up to give him his first cap.

He's eligible for Cameroon too so come on France, we don't want to lose another player to the African Nations!

Agree with above i think a CB is a must now…no point having all this attacking talent and we're playing Endo/Mc as centre halves to cover ala Henderson/Fab back in the day.

Am i crazy to still dream we could land Isak? I dont even know how he would fit in this team now assuming the Hugo move goes through but god dammit it would be glorious.

The position of Frankfurt was that they did not need to sell Ekitike having received €70m for Marmoush in January. In June, the Frankfurt CEO made it clear that they would not sell without his release clause of €100m being triggered. That is when Chelsea turned their attention to Joao Pedro and sealed the deal while Newcastle were waiting for Brighton to drop their price.

Last week Newcastle offered €80m with no add-ons which was immediately rejected. The Liverpool offer which was accepted is €79m plus €12m in add-ons.

Money is tight at Newcastle and the £70m offered for Ekitike is believed to be the limit of their budget. It could prove to be a poor transfer window for them as deals continue to slip away from them. To date they have missed out on Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, Hugo Ekitike and Dean Huijsen. They spent weeks haggling with Burnley over a small difference in the valuation of James Trafford, now there is strong speculation that Man City will activate the £40m buy back clause so Burnley have increased their asking price from £30m. Brentford were adamant that they were not going to sell both Mbeumo and Wissa so Newcastle may have to look elsewhere for a striker. Marc Guehi is the only player they have made an approach for that is definitely still available.

Incorrect, the U21 thing means they can switch when they want as long as they haven't played more than 3 games since turning 21, the rule still remains if they have not played a non friendly match 3 times then they can still switch
