Liverpool, Barcelona and many more are reportedly looking for a Bundesliga playmaker whose contract is expiring. Jurgen Klopp should be on the move.

Should Liverpool seal that deal and secure a move for the Borussia Dortmund man, Jurgen Klopp will need further additions alongside marquee signing Jude Bellingham this summer.

Liverpool’s squad needs an overhaul with younger players able to recreate the energetic style the Reds have become famous for, as too many of the current squad are physically unable to match their previous intensity.

But one such option, whose contract expires this summer, is said to be on Liverpool’s radar and reportedly cost $32m (£27m/€30m) per Transfermarkt. Playmaker Daichi Kamada, out of contract at the end of the current season, is being sued by Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Tottenham, Borussia Dortmund, PSG and Barcelona, ​​according to 90Min.

The attacking midfielder has scored 13 goals and provided five assists in 27 games for Eintracht Frankfurt so far this season, which has helped fuel a Bundesliga title fight.

Kamada, able to play as a number 10 on both flanks or as a deeper midfielder as a number eight, would make a lot of sense for Liverpool.

FBref lists Pablo Fornals as their most similar player in terms of style: hardworking and defensive, but also creative and full of flair in the final third. Fede Valverde and Lucas Paquetá are also in the top 10, while Liverpool-linked Mason Mount is third. Kamada is shrewd in his work off the ball, ranking in the 87th percentile for tackles compared to attacking midfielders and wingers in Europe’s top five leagues and in the 83rd percentile for interceptions.

Compared to midfielders in Europe’s top five leagues, he ranks in the 93rd percentile for both touches in the opponent’s penalty area and expected goals combined without penalties and expected assists, and the 99th percentile for goals without penalties.

Kamada isn’t necessarily a perfect candidate for Liverpool and wouldn’t start with the Reds at their best, but to add quality and depth to the attacking areas he could be an equally cost-effective solution in the market for transfers than his compatriot Takumi Minamino. .

Unlike Minamino, who impressed in the Champions League but only played in the Austrian Bundesliga, Kamada has already proven himself in Germany – a much surer sign that he can adapt in England (although no guaranteed, as Naby Keïta’s detractors point out).

Versatile, free, relatively low-paid and clearly able to fit in with Liverpool’s pushy style of play while adding creativity and goalscoring, Kamada is a player who should definitely be on the Reds’ transfer radar. As he plays abroad and is in the final six months of his contract, it’s a move that can be agreed anytime before the summer season.

If a no-risk signing could add that quality and depth to prove a masterstroke, he’s exactly the kind of signing that took Liverpool to all four trophies last season, and exactly the kind of player they should. aim again.

Liverpool takeover news as fresh Qatar ‘concrete interest’ claim made amid FSG sale

Latest news on the sale of Liverpool between Qatari investors linked to the Reds and Manchester United.

Liverpool have had “no concrete interest” from Qatari investors, it is said
Fenway Sports Group (FSG) continues to seek investment after launching the Reds three months ago. FSG prefers a partial rather than a full sale of the club, to which numerous parts are linked.

Against the backdrop of the 2022 World Cup, there are many rumors of Qatari investors looking to move to the Premier League.

Qatar Sports Investment (QSI) already owns Paris Saint-Germain and chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi met with his Tottenham Hotspur counterpart Daniel Levy last month. Manchester United, also for sale, has reportedly attracted interest from the Emir of Qatar.

Meanwhile, the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) – the Gulf state’s sovereign wealth fund – is in talks with the FSG, according to the Daily Mail.

However, Ben Jacobs – a reporter for CBS Sports – refuted these claims. In a Twitter section he hosted, Jacobs said: “Over the last few months after the World Cup, Qatar has been looking for some sort of Premier League club.

“Some groups in Qatar have considered a minority stake, others are now working on an outright takeover. This is such an incredible time for those looking to invest in the Premier League because Manchester United and Liverpool are on the market in different ways.

“Manchester United’s owners the Glazers are open to both, while FSG has a slightly less smooth process at Liverpool and would consider a minority investment.

“QSI has held exploratory minority investment talks with Tottenham. We will wait and see if it continues to develop. Daniel Levy and Nasser Al-Khelaifi are very close, they are friends and also work at the ECA (European Club Association)

“Concerning Qatar and Liverpool, there is not much concrete interest contrary to what has been reported. No full bid or minority stake bid has been made and there is a real opportunity with Manchester United.

“QIA initially considered a minority stake, which has been on the table for a few days and weeks with a 10% stake. However, there is also a group of retail investors who prefer a full sale offer.

Report: Liverpool set to sell first-team star for just £15m

The 31-year-old defender hasn’t been at his best since the start of the season and has deteriorated markedly over the past year.

The former Schalke defender has been a reliable player for Liverpool since joining Liverpool in 2016.

However, the time is right for the Reds to cash in on the player and invest in a younger player with greater potential.

Joel Matip

According to a report by Football Insider, Liverpool are reportedly willing to sell the player in the summer for around £15m.
The defender is under contract with Liverpool until summer 2024 and it remains to be seen whether the Reds can find him a suitor at the end of the season. Matip could still be a quality asset to most teams and where he lands remains to be seen. As well as being a good defender, his leadership skills and winning experience are vital to any club he joins.

The Cameroonian defender helped Liverpool win the Premier League and Champions League during his time at the club.

Jürgen Klopp needs to build a squad for the future and the 31-year-old is clear on which team is better than him. A fresh start at the end of the season could be ideal for the Cameroonian defender. Matip has just 18 months left on his contract and the Reds must try to sell him before his value drops due to his contract situation.
