You want rumours? I’ll give you rumours …
Liverpool , Arsenal and Manchester United are among the clubs showing an interest in Nottingham Forest and England midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, 25. (Caughtoffside)
Liverpool have joined Arsenal on the trail of 17-year-old French midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi after his impressive displays for Lille this season. (TBR Football)
Plus, the Dail Heil being Captain Obvious.
Liverpool have been scouring the market for a left-back to replace 31-year-old Scot Andy Robertson with Bournemouth’s Hungary defender Milos Kerkez, 21, one of their main targets. (Mail - subscription required)
An interesting non-LFC rumour is that RM are “targetting” Enzo Fernandez and that Chelsea would want Tchouameni in exchange. He’s been a long-time target of ours and if RM are willing to sell maybe we’ll be interested.

We made a tidy little profit on Assaidi if I recall…
Posting the below to give @legalalien the day off.

I’ll eat my hat if we sign Sane.

While I appreciate the efforts of my locum @clive, it seems that he missed one.
We’re also being linked with a Fofana. Not Wesley or even Seko, but a Malick Fofana who’s a winger, apparently.

Any truth to this??
No idea. The source is Fishy apparently, but it’s not the most outrageous suggestion. It would mean pretty much guaranteed silverware, playing in an easier league, and guaranteed CL participation into the later stages.
I’d be disappointed because I loathe and detest Bayern, but it makes sense from his perspective.

You just have to look up what Virgil earns at Liverpool now compared to what Bayern are paying Harry Kane. Then also consider the sing on fee he would receive. Would make sense for Virgil.

Then again, he could ask Sadio about his experience in the land of lederhosen.

I’d question anything like that coming out ahead of a cup final to be honest.
After or/an during the break would sort of make sense.

Just been reading a couple of presumably clickbait articles online. One of them saying Julian Alvarez is on our list of possible targets for the summer…but the part I found most interesting was that it also claimed that we put in a bid last summer for Alvarez but couldn’t agree a fee with City who wanted Diaz in part exchange along with a sizeable fee. We were allegedly willing to make that happen but couldn’t agree on the valuation of Diaz.
I haven’t heard or read of anyone else mentioning that rumour before (although I haven’t really been listening to any of the podcasts this season) and I thought Alvarez moved because he wanted to go to Spain.

Wouldn’t mind Alvarez.
It makes you sort of wonder whether it would be better for us to drop a few utterly naff rumours out there to keep them pleased.
It’s like when government decides to act and announce in Parliament what you get is hostile made up stuff.
Liverpool willing to do a deal but half of the deal not being able to be agreed on is sort of meaningless.

His agent has claimed there is current interest. Some of those stories reporting this talk about us supposedly having interest last summer. If the money makes sense it certainly does from a footballing perspective.

Michael Edwards lining up DREAM double deal for Liverpool
Story by Bence Bocsak
Michael Edwards may be lining up a dream deal that he’s been wanting to complete for years at Liverpool.
Over the years, Anfield Watch understands the club’s chief has been pushing the Reds to enter the South American market.
Liverpool Transfer News: Reds told who they must sign as €100m deal lined up to REPLACE Salah
Edwards was among those who were keen to bring Rodrygo to Anfield prior to his move to Real Madrid. He had also pushed for Liverpool to pursue other South American talents, including Julian Alvarez, who as Anfield Watch exclusively revealed is still on the club’s radar.
But Edwards, during his first stint at the club, was never able to get his wish. At times, Jurgen Klopp and his coaching staff had question marks about bringing in players from the region.
Other times, the club’s inability to offer a direct pathway for prospective youngsters ultimately meant Liverpool’s targets chose to pursue other options.
However, all of that is about to change.
Liverpool pursue double deal for Ecuadorean wonderkids
Edwards’ main motivation to return to work for FSG last year was primarily because of their commitment to pursue a multi-club model.
FSG have pursued this possibility ever since and continue to monitor potential clubs to purchase. They came close to buying Bordeaux last summer but in the end opted not to pursue a move because of question marks about the French side’s stadium lease.
The idea is that with another club under the FSG umbrella, Edwards would be able to present a direct pathway for youngsters into the Liverpool first team - similar to Brighton’s model with Union SG or the Red Bull football franchise.
It’s early days but Liverpool are already pursuing potential candidates who could fit this profile, including two wonderkids from Independiente del Valle.
The Ecuadorean side have produced some of the most exciting young talents in South America over the last few years. This list includes Moises Caicedo as well as Willian Pacho, Kendry Paez, Joel Ordonez and Piero Hincapie.
Liverpool’s scouts have a good working relationship with Independiente del Valle and have tracked the likes of Ordonez and Pacho for a long time.
They are currently keeping a close eye on the next up and coming prospects and have explored making a move for another promising centre-back.
Its revealed that Liverpool want to sign Independiente’s Deinner Ordonez, who at 15 years old is already playing at the U20 Sudamericana and training with the club’s first team.
He’s not the only player on the Reds’ radar though.
Liverpool are making moves to sign another 15-year-old wonderkid from Independiente’s academy.
According to their report, Liverpool are among the three clubs who are working in the transfer race to land Johan Martinez who will celebrate his 16th birthday on 10th May later this year.
The other two clubs in the race are Manchester City and Brighton, who incidentally both have a multi-club system in place.
Martinez is a winger who loves taking players on and is capable of using both feet which has earned him comparisons to Ousmane Dembele.
Just like Ordonez, because of his age, Liverpool won’t be able to bring him to the club for the next few years until he turns 18 years old.
But there is the possibility of making an agreement in advance and securing both Ordonez’s and Martinez’s future well before their 18th birthdays, just as Chelsea had done with Paez.
With the multi-club model in the works, Edwards has a higher chance of finally getting his wish and this Independiente duo could be the first of many signings of the kind.
