Liverpool hasn’t had the ideal transfer window by any means, but, barring any last-minute hiccups, they will complete a deal for one of their long-term ambitions on Friday. Ryan Gravenberch, a player for Bayern Munich, is only 21 years old and still has a long way to go in terms of developing as a player. He is also still in the prime of his career. The Reds will spend €40 million for the midfielder, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic (subscription required), and they will sign him to a long-term contract. He is expected to arrive in Liverpool on a flight on Thursday night, then get a checkup on Friday before signing a contract. Gravenberch might be classified as a defensive midfielder, but considering Klopp’s desire for the latter, it stands to reason that the manager will try to use him there. Given the paucity of Bundesliga games since his transfer from Ajax, it’s probable that he will need some time to adjust to life at Anfield as well.

Nat Phillips’ loan transfer to Celtic has been made public. Prior to tomorrow’s transfer deadline, the centre defender will temporarily transition from Liverpool to the Hoops. The 26-year-old has been chosen by Brendan Rodgers as the best player to fill up the defense’s holes while dealing with an injury crisis. Stephen Welsh, Maik Nawrocki, and Cameron Carter-Vickers won’t be available until at least mid-October. So, when Celtic play Rangers on Sunday, Phillips will join the team and most likely play with Gustaf Lagerbiekle. The Athletic has reported how long the loan arrangement will last. He will reportedly remain at Celtic until at least January, after which both the Hoops and Liverpool will conduct a situational analysis. The season’s end might then be added to it. Phillips played for Liverpool in just seven games last year. One in the FA Cup, two in the Premier League, two in the EFL Cup, two in the Premier Reserve League. He has gained first team experience with previous loan spells in recent years at Stuttgart and Bournemouth. Meanwhile, Celtic transfer target Paulo Bernardo is set to arrive in Glasgow today, according to a report. The Benfica winger is poised to become Brendan Rodgers’ latest summer signing. The Scottish Sun reports the 21-year-old is due in Scotland today to finalise talks with the Parkhead club....
Recent Liverpool transfer rumours include Ryan Gravenberch discussions as well as information on Ibrahima Konate, Andre Trindade, and Johan Bakayoko. Ryan Gravenberch is expected to be Jurgen Klopp’s next midfield addition as Liverpool makes one more effort to complete a signing before the summer transfer window closes. Over the summer, the Reds’ engine room underwent a significant overhaul with the departure of five recognisable names and the addition of three new ones. They are, of course, Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Alexis Mac Allister. Early-season struggles, such as Mac Allister’s now-overturned red card against Bournemouth and a minor injury setback for Curtis Jones, have already shown what may occur if the team doesn’t sign at least one more midfielder before the window of opportunity closes. The implication has always been that a swoop will be made should the right opportunity present itself, and it now seems that this is the case with Anfield chiefs ready to join Bayern Munich in the transfer merry-go-round. With just a few days left to close...
Liverpool will only pay £25 million and change for Ryan Gravenberch, but it is not the amount that might kill the deal. REVEALED GRAVENBERCH PRICE Liverpool has been perplexed as to why, after indicating their intentions with the Moises Caicedo offer, every other asking price has skyrocketed, with Crystal Palace reportedly scaring them off by demanding £70 million for Cheick Doucoure. Bayern Munich, however, is one team that does not seem to have been paying attention. According to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany, the Bavarian club is willing to let Ryan Gravenberch leave for Liverpool in exchange for just £25.76 million, as they are happy to make a profit on the Dutchman and use the money to pay for a transfer of another defensive midfielder. The issue? Joao Palhinha, a Fulham midfielder, is wanted by them for a little over £50 million, which might be a problem because the Cottagers have been telling the media that they won’t accept anything less than £60 million, £80 million, or once even £90 million. Additionally, Bayern won’t sell Gravenberch without snagging Palhinha. Mr. Fati is done It was a...
The most recent Aston Villa news ahead of this weekend’s trip to Anfield, where Unai Emery’s team will play Liverpool only days after their Europa Conference League matchup against Hibernian. Three Liverpool players who were not seen in training with Jurgen Klopp’s team may miss the Premier League match due to injuries. On Sunday afternoon, Villa will play at Anfield as they get back into Premier League action. However, the second leg of the Europa Conference League play-off versus Hibernian will be the focus first. With a 5-0 lead going into the game at Villa Park on Thursday night, Villa is predicted to win the tie and advance to the competition’s group rounds. While Villa’s attention has been on that match, Jurgen Klopp has been getting his players ready for Unai Emery’s side to come to town. On Wednesday, there was training at the AXA training facility, but the Liverpool Echo claims that three players who were hoped to be available for the match were not present. Ibrahima Konate, a defender who suffered an injury in the 3-1 victory against Bournemouth two weeks ago, appeared to be absent. Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic, two midfielders who are attempting to accelerate their comeback from injuries they sustained in March and April, respectively, were also not seen. In addition to defender Virgil van Dijk, who is serving a suspension after receiving a red card against Newcastle, all three are therefore anticipated to be out of the match. The fact that Curtis Jones and Joel Matip seemed to train in full with no apparent injuries was fantastic news for Liverpool. After missing the previous two games, Jones was questionable, but he may play against Villa. Matip, meanwhile, was replaced as a precaution in the second half of the game against Newcastle. However, the fact that the centre back is back in the gym ahead of the game suggests that he’ll be healthy enough to start against Villa....
Khephren Thuram is once again a target for the Liverpool Reds. Khephren Thuram, a central midfielder for Nice, has piqued Liverpool’s interest once more, but according to a recent source, he isn’t the only player being taken into consideration. Is Lilian’s son Khephren Thuram? Thuram is the younger brother of Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram and the son of former professional Lilian Thuram. Talent obviously runs in the family, as Thuram has been one of the club’s top targets during the current transfer window. Following the arrival of Alexis Mac Allister, Fabrizio Romano previously revealed that FSG and Jurgen Klopp spoke directly with the 22-year-old’s agent to decide whether they wanted him to be their next hire. However, they ultimately decided against a move due to his lack of Premier League experience. Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo were later added to the Reds’ roster, but with the addition of one more new player still a possibility before Friday, France’s youth international appears to have returned to the attention of the hierarchy as they ponder a last-minute swoop. Do Liverpool intend to acquire Khephren Thuram? Thuram is “high up the list” of centre midfield prospects for Liverpool, according to Anfield Watch, and club officials are still looking to add another new face before the transfer deadline. Along with Manu Kone of Borussia Monchengladbach, Ryan Gravenberch of Bayern Munich has also surfaced as a top target, though it’s believed that the latter is “lower down” on the priority list. Since Nice had already planned to sell the Ligue 1 star this summer, the Reds have “opened up another possibility” of making a move for him. Thuram is clearly a favourite of Liverpool, as evidenced by their return to the negotiation table in the final hours of the transfer window. This is unsurprising given that reporter Sam McGuire has called Thuram a player who can develop into a “monster” under Klopp, so should the talisman sign a contract, it could be a huge coup for the Reds. According to FBRef, the £14,000-a-week resident of Reggio Emilia has won seven of the nine tackles he has made so far this season, which is the highest success rate in his team. He can also be a threat in the final third, having made 19 senior contributions (11 assists and eight goals) while at Nice. At 6 feet 3 inches tall and in the 94th percentile for successful take-ons, Didier Digard’s colossus loves to dribble past his defender. He has also recorded 18 shot-creating actions so far this season, more than any other member of his squad, demonstrating what a special player he is. Thuram can play in four different places on grass, including three midfield positions and even out wide on the left wing, so in addition to giving the boss some much-needed versatility, he is someone to keep an eye on before Friday....
