I’ve gotten to see him play a few times. Fantastically skilled player. Best Mexican footballer in some time, IMO. Hope we win the battle for him!

Yeah, very good player. He is very young and can use some bulking up. The physicality of the PL may be an issue for him. I can see him going to Spain.

A mixture of emojis, but definitely an angry one for that last one.

It’s like someone has gone through the Liverpool Squad, and thought ‘well, he’s barely played…’

And he’s Italian, so must be missing his mum’s cooking.

Probably more that he’s returning to fitness and he looks a good talent.

I think I’d read somewhere that Juve are trying to focus on recruiting more homegrown talent - apparently they’d already approached Arsenal over Calafiori and been rebuffed. So I think the Leoni interest stems mainly from that.

A valuation of £70M to £80M should scare the shit out of them.

Saw Juve were also linked with Alessandro Romano
He’s a good passer and more mobile than Wharton for example. Worth a look for us maybe

I’m not sure he will be available on a loan to buy.

Given the fees paid this past window, I was thinking more along the lines of £120M. Scare off everyone!

The VanDyke interview by Skye is very alarming as he has still not been offered an extension. I hope Ward’s priority is to extend Van Dyke and Allison as soon as possible as the Vultures are circling and the biggest twats are RM come on Liverpool this is annoying and not good for supporter’s nerves!!!

He’s 36 and probably still one of our biggest earners with some question marks hanging over him, so its no surprise the club haven’t offered an extension as of yet.

Wasn’t he not offered one til about March last time and he was 34 then.

The problem is that imo Jacqet is not ready yet to take over and Van Dyke has been very consistent and will no doubt be needed to school Leoni and Ndukwe. I also think it is not very wise as so far we have made the right calls as far as the back four are concerned.
