Liverpool have discovered they can sign a player dubbed as ‘the next Lionel Messi’ at an incredible price amid a crucial update from Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham have learned that a La Liga star will not cost anywhere near as much as originally thought, while Manchester United are ‘great favourites’ to land a Serie A midfielder.
Liverpool might take their summer transfer business to the next level by signing one of Europe’s top talents for far less than his actual value, according to reports
The Reds have kicked off their midfield overhaul by capturing Alexis Mac Allister from Premier League rivals Brighton. He cost an initial £35million, though bonus clauses could result in the deal eventually costing £55m.
Liverpool are now eyeing up both Borussia Monchengladbach star Manu Kone and Khephren Thuram of Nice. talkSPORT presenter Tony Cascarino has suggested Kone is ‘going to Liverpool’ despite late hijack attempts from Aston Villa and Wolves, while centre-back Ibrahima Konate has spoken highly of fellow target Thuram.
Guler is versatile, just like Messi was at a young age. He likes to operate as a central attacking midfielder, playing just behind the striker. Alternatively, the teenager can play as a right winger if needed.
Guler, who has registered six goals and seven assists in 35 games this term, has a Fenerbahce contract which runs until June 2025. However, he might not be playing in his home country for that long.
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has provided a big update on Guler’s future. On Twitter, Romano revealed that the attacker will be available for just €17.5m (£15m), despite being one of the most talked about youngsters in Europ.
This is because of a clause in Guler’s contract which states that if he plays 1500 minutes this season, he will be available for this price. As Guler reached this amount of playing time, he can now leave Fenerbahce for far less than he would be able to normally.
Romano ends his tweet by stating that ‘many top clubs [are] trying to convince the player’ to join them. Romano does not name Liverpool, but if Aksam’s report is to be believed, then Klopp will certainly have the Reds in the race.
