Premier League side Liverpool FC could allow the transfer of their forward Christian Benteke move to Turkey this summer as the Turkish champions are interested in signing him, based on reports.


Reds Manager Jurgen Klopp deems the player surplus to requirements, and has gotten a lot of attackers this summer as replacement.

Benteke moved to Anfield for £32.5 million last summer but he couldn’t quite live up to the hype in his debut season, else the quest to push him out.

Crystal Palace are offering Benteke a lifeline to remain in England but they have not been able to agree transfer fees with Liverpool. Express Sport report that Palace offered Liverpool £23.5m with £7m in potential add-ons but the Reds rejected it due to the triggers for the additional payments, claiming they were unrealistic. Liverpool want to offload the player only to any side that will help minimise the loss the most. Hence, the move to send Benteke on loan since almost no club would likely meet such high standards after his performance in the last term.

Lig TV reports that Besiktas are willing to offer £3million in a season long loan for the Belgian. ...continue reading BENTEKE SET TO MOVE TO TURKEY

With all the football clubs busy making the most of the transfer window, Liverpool is no different.


They are looking at Jonas Hector, who is a defender of the Koln team. It seems that he would be available for a fraction of the original asking price. Hector was said to be moving to Anfield and newspapers quoted that he was looking for a price tag of £25million. There were reports of interests being generated by the player by teams like Barcelona and Tottenham who are Premier League rival for Liverpool. It was reported that the offers were for £15m. Barca unveiled that they would be taking up Lucas Digne, who would be joining their camp from the Paris Saint Germain team. The Spurs team seems to have locked down on Danny Rose. Hence Liverpool is now in a position to sign up Jonas Hector. The Reds have more good news as the offer would probably be for £17million which would be good enough for the player to be willing to join up.

The former Borussia Dortmund manager has revealed that Ferguson took special interest in talking withKlopp about the possibility of taking over at United in 2013. SinceKlopp turned down the job quite quickly, United turned their attention towards other alternatives.

Brendan Rodgers and the other decision makers at Liverpool need to be quite sensible in the coming pre season transfer window.

They must focus on covering the weaker bases.

At the moment, they are looking to be most interested in the Southampton defender Nathaniel Clyne.

They had placed a bid of 10 million Pounds for the player earlier, but, it wasn’t accepted after which they are planning to increase the amount and go for another bid.

Clyne is a good player no doubt and it’s quite normal for the clubs to be interested in him for the kind of player he has turned out to be in the last one- one and half years.

But, the question is - is signing a right back the top priority for Liverpool at the moment?

The answer would be no despite the fact that a position is vacant there after the departure of Glen Johnson.

The first and foremost thing that the Reds have to do is to bring in a couple of high class strikers from somewhere because it’s that department which has let them down of late.

The no. of times Liverpool found the net in 2013-14 was fifty more than their goal’s tally the previous season which itself tells the story. ...continue reading Brendan Rodgers and the other decision makers at Liverpool need to be quite sensible

Simon Mignolet has been a player transformed in the last few months. His future at Liverpool appeared to be in major doubt after being dropped to the bench after a string of disappointing performances towards the end of 2014.

This high-profile absence from the team lasted for a couple of weeks before the former Sunderland goalkeeper regained his first-team spot from Brad Jones. The Australian did extremely well in the absence of Mignolet, but he did concede three goals against United when the two teams met each other at Old Trafford. Come the reverse fixture at Anfield, Mignolet is expected to keep his place in the starting line-up.

He says that being dropped did a world of good to his form, as it helped him wake up. There was a hint of complacency from the Belgium in the early part of the season, but it appears to have all gone away. The club has conceded only one goal in the last four matches and it was against reigning league champions Manchester City. Liverpool have done great work in 2015 to remain in the hunt for a top four place, but Mignolet knows that the job will be complete only if the Reds keep on winning. A victory for United will put them five points clear of Liverpool. ...continue reading Simon Mignolet has been a player transformed in the last few months
