SHOCKING NEWS: Announced by football guru Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have wasted no time in moving on from their failed pursuit of Kylian Mbappe, with reports suggesting that they are ready to make a €100 million bid for the ‘next Lionel Messi’. The Reds have identified Spanish super wonderkid as their top target, and are ready to make a big-money offer for the young Spanish star. He has been dubbed the ‘next Messi’ due to his similar style of play and extraordinary talent, and Liverpool believe he could be the perfect long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah. Liverpool’s Mbappe Rejection Paves Way for €100m ‘Next Messi’ Bid.
A stunning report from Spain claims that Liverpool is preparing a blockbuster move for Lamine Yamal.
Liverpool is poised for a significant transformation this summer, with early indications showing some setbacks in their transfer dealings. While the prospect of securing Kylian Mbappe was always a long shot, the announcement of Jurgen Klopp’s impending departure has definitively extinguished any lingering hopes of landing the superstar.
Klopp’s pivotal role in Liverpool’s pursuit of Mbappe, dating back to 2017, had a profound impact on the Frenchman, who seemed destined for Real Madrid. However, with Klopp set to exit and no current sporting director in place, plans for summer recruitment have been shelved temporarily.
Yet, Klopp’s departure might not be the only exit looming over Anfield. Mohamed Salah’s rumored move to Saudi Arabia adds to the urgency for a high-profile replacement, with the tantalizing prospect of finding the ‘next Lionel Messi.’
Could Lamine Yamal be the answer for Liverpool? According to Spanish outlet OKDiario, the Liverpool board is united in their interest in the Barcelona wonderkid, making him a primary target despite the club’s uncertainties. The report suggests that Liverpool would spare no effort in pursuing the teenage sensation, although the notion of ‘going all out’ is likely figurative, considering his staggering €1 billion release clause. Barcelona’s financial woes could sway them towards a sale, with a bid of €100 million potentially testing their resolve.
However, the likelihood of any deal materializing seems slim. Yamal, still only 16, remains ineligible to join Liverpool for another two years, and indications suggest he has no intention of leaving Barcelona. In fact, the Catalan club purportedly has a preliminary agreement in place with him for an eight-year, lucrative contract upon his 18th birthday.
