Liverpool Submit An Offer To Sign £77m Laliga Star...CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
Liverpool have already signed a top striker in the form of Darwin Nunez this summer but the Uruguayan was not the only forward on the radar at Anfield.
The Merseysiders have been looking to secure the signature of Alexander Isak and reports indicate that they submitted an offer to sign him.
According to an article covered by Mundo Deportivo today (news image provided below), Real Madrid could end up losing attackers like Mariano, Maroyal and Asensio in the summer transfer window.
Therefore, to improve the attack, they are very interested in hiring the services of Isak from Real Sociedad and have asked to be informed of possible offers from other clubs.
The Txuri-Urdin are looking to get a fee of £77million (90 million euros release clause). So far, there are no firm offers on the table to sign the Swedish international and as per MD, no club would come close to the mentioned amount.
As far as the suitors are concerned, the Catalan media outlet claim that Newcastle United have shown interest, on the other hand, Liverpool submitted a very insufficient offer to sign Isak.
The value of the proposal is not mentioned by Mundo Deportivo but it is possible they are talking about an offer worth £60million (from the Reds) reported by the news source back in March.
In the 2019-20 campaign, the 37-capped international started 6 games in the Copa Del Rey and directly contributed in 9 goals (7 goals and 2 assists) to help Sociedad win the competition.
However, in the last campaign, the 22-year-old striker was out of form and only netted 6 goals in 26 starts in the league.
Having already splashed a big amount to lure Darwin Nunez, who was the top scorer in the Liga Nos last term, it is unlikely that the Reds would spend big for another center forward.
There is ample quality and depth as far as the strike force is concerned with experienced stars like Jota and Firmino around.
However, we do lack depth on the flanks as there is no quality (natural) winger to cover for Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz.
Chelsea Close To Signing £55m Laliga Ace
Chelsea have made a £55 million offer for Jules Kounde, as they push to complete the transfer. The bid is close to Sevilla’s asking price for the player, and the transfer could be confirmed as soon as today, with advanced negotiations set to take place.
Barcelona have agreed personal terms with Kounde for a transfer as well. But, won’t be able to pay the €40 million that Sevilla want up-front. Due to their financial constraints, they will prefer paying that amount in installments, which the Basque side are not keen on.
The Blaugrana have been shocked by Chelsea’s revived interest in the Frenchman after it was cooled off. The Blues have a representative in Seville negotiating directly with the club for the centre-back. Moreover, their offer is more likely to be accepted by the Spanish side.
Sevilla would prefer not selling to a direct rival, and Chelsea’s bid is also financially better. Jules Kounde had agreed personal terms with them a year ago. And a five-year contract until 2027 seems to be agreed upon this time as well.
Barcelona have asked the player to reject Chelsea’s offer since he has told Xavi that he would like to play at Camp Nou. But, he is open to a move to London as well. Today is an important day in the transfer saga since the Premier League side are expected to finalise the deal.
