Liverpool prepares for blockbuster late, they think he is their next Sara
Arne Slot held a press conference ahead of Liverpool’s second Premier League match against Newcastle United this season and showed he was happy with the current team.
“As always, if we think we can improve somewhere and there is a player that can really make us better – you can see that in Giovanni Leoni – then this club always shows that they can bring these players into it, but only if things are right.”
“The right transfer fee, the right player, the right position and the player who wants to come to us.”
The slot also suggested that Federico Chiesa’s return would improve his offensive depth: “I see Federico is completely different now than most of last season.”
When asked about his upcoming opposition, he highlighted the threat they posed: “The main thing we have to be prepared for is their midfielder, their last forward, three forwards. I don’t think Isak played, but they still have Gordon for nine, Elanga, Elanga, Barnes, Jacob Murphy.”
The slot also revealed that Liverpool was hit, which would affect their ability to deal with Newcastle attacks as their new right-back Jeremie Frimpong suffered damage that would fail him until after an international break.
Liverpool’s eyes are more than just Premier League clashes as they plan bids for another star player who celebrates pies.
Liverpool prepares for new ISAK bid
Liverpool are preparing another bid for Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak. The Reds had previously bid for £110 million, plus add-ons to the Swedish striker, but the deal was rejected. Now, with Newcastle Edge closer to signing Yoane Wissa and line up with Wolves star Jorgen Strand Larsen, Liverpool are preparing a new bid for Isak.
Spanish reports show that the value of the new bid will be in the region of £138 million. The club thinks the huge fee is worth it because they think “his arrival will bridge the gap after the Salah era is coming to an end”.
Bids may emerge after the two clubs face each other on Monday, as Newcastle is unlikely to sell its best player to the team before the team plays.
From the player’s perspective, it’s now to the point where he’s publicly pushing the move, as he made a statement ahead of the PFA Awards, where he talked about Newcastle’s promises and the benefits of “change” on both sides.
What happens to Ekitike if Liverpool signs ISAK?
Despite an impressive season in the Bundesliga last year, he came to the Premier League with unknown numbers, which looked like the safest option of both when Liverpool may sign him and Isaac.
Ekitike quickly had any questions about his first two shows. During the Community Shield and opening the Premier League, he registered two goals and an assist, which showed that he was easy to adapt to British football.
This means slots may face the dilemma that the manager can find himself as he has two impressive forwards fighting for game time. Although Isak may want to go straight to the first team, he has been away from Newcastle’s team for a while, which means it may take several weeks to grow rapidly.
The answer to the slot machine question may come and then become the question. This is because in less than a month the Champions League group stage will begin, meaning Liverpool usually plays two games a week and should have enough time to share the striker.
