Cleaning up the Scots since the 13th century
According to Fichajes, Liverpool are interested in VfB Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller.
It has been suggested that the 24-year-old is a prospective target for the Reds in the summer as they look to strengthen their midfield.
The German is said to be viewed as a perfect option in Slot's system, and the club are ready to table a £51million (€60m) bid for the midfielder.
Newcastle owner Yasir Al-Rumayyan has instructed club officials to turn down any and all offers that come in for Isak, as reported by The Telegraph (via Newcastle World). The PIF chairman is a huge fan of the Swedish striker, and given that he has made it clear that the Carabao Cup winners are aiming to become a force in England, he has no plans to get rid of one of the club’s best and most important players.
Isak has probably been told "Stay with us and we'll make sure you have more money than even you will have dreamed of. Please don't lose your head and look for a move away to another club."
According to Football Insider and former West Ham and Man United scout Mick Brown, Liverpool have been keeping tabs on Kudus and the player is itching to move to a bigger club. They report that ‘Kudus wants to quit West Ham and join Liverpool.’
“Liverpool have been looking at Mohammed Kudus,” Brown said.
“He wants to make that move and will jump at the opportunity if an offer arrives. He scored his first goal of the year against Brighton, and all season he’s only got four – for a player of his ability and talent, that’s not good enough.
“The way he plays is going to catch your eye, but for most of the game he’s not doing enough.
“I think that’s the conclusion Liverpool will come to, as will other clubs who have been watching.
“He certainly isn’t doing enough to convince these clubs it would be worth spending £80million on him.
I don't foresee a huge net spend this Summer, as we have a number of lads that could help us recoup some money, but it's not as if we didn't spend £150m the Summer before last. Yes, we recouped some money there and lessened the wage bill, but it wasn't a £20m net spend situation.
As to this Summer, I think we'll aim to sell the likes of Kelleher, Doak and Morton (recoup some money there) and transform those funds into a player that makes a week-in, week-out difference, along with selling a forward (probably Núñez, much as I want him to stay and find himself) to generate some funds for one that better fits what Slot is after and then a certain amount will be allocated on top of that to see us improve the side overall without an enormous outlay.
Might see something like an Elliott sale for a midfielder who Slot would want to play more if some of the above works out well first, might see a Gomez sale if he wants more game time, Chiesa if Slot doesn't rate him. We need a few players for sure, but I don't want to see a nine-in, nine-out for example as we could easily change too much, too quickly. I hope we are closer to five in the "ins" department than ten, but circumstances will dictate.
- Left-back
- Centre-back for the future (Konaté situation needs monitored as well, though I think he will get his payday)
- Deep-lying mid to help Gravenberch
- Possibly a forward-thinking mid that's more athletically suited to the League than Elliott?
- A forward, two if we sell two
