Liverpool eye £30 million move for "top defender" starring at Euro 2024

As the Arne Slot era begins on Merseyside, Liverpool are looking to back their new manager and build him the squad that could help them lift the Premier League title next season.

Liverpool prepare for the Slot era at Anfield

The latest transfer news out of Merseyside suggests that FSG are set to give their new manager significant backing in the transfer market this summer.

The Reds are eyeing up improvements all over the pitch with Liverpool currently linked with moves for young talents Kenan Yildiz and Leny Yoro. The former is a Turkish teenager who has excelled with Juventus and could now be making a £25 million move to Merseyside. Yoro has also earned plaudits overseas with his exploits with LOSC Lille last season, earning him a £50 million price tag.

Slot's side are also looking at more established players with Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi reportedly on the radar of the Merseyside outfit. Joining Guehi on Liverpool's shopping list is Sporting defender Goncalo Inacio, who has a £51 million release clause that the Reds may look to exercise this summer.

Marc Guehi for England

With a central defender clearly high on Liverpool's list of priorities, it appears that the Reds are now looking towards a highly rated defender that Slot knows very well.

Reds keen on move for Feyenoord defender

As first reported by HITC, the Spanish press are stating that Liverpool are interested in a move for Feyenoord defender David Hancko. The outlet reports that the Reds are in competition with Atlético Madrid to secure the services of the £30 million rated Slovakia international, who produced a stunning goal line clearance as his side upset Belgium 1-0 in their Euro 2024 opener.

The 26-year-old made 34 league appearances for Feyenoord as they finished second in the Eredivisie last season, mostly as a central defender, but he can also play on the left. Hancko also featured six times in the Champions League as the Dutch side finished third in a group that contained Lazio, Celtic and the aforementioned Atlético Madrid.

David Hancko for Feyenoord.

Having played under new Reds' boss Slot during his time at Feyenoord, the Slovakian would be a logical signing for Liverpool to make. With Joel Matip set to leave the club this summer and uncertainty around the future of Virgil van Dijk, Hancko would be a quality asset for Slot's new look outfit, adding depth in two positions at once.

In the wake of rumours around his future, former Feyenoord defender Tim de Cler has backed Hancko to excel no matter where he ends up telling the Dutch press (via Sport Witness): “He is so stable and can basically do anything. I just think he is a top defender all-round.

“If he makes it to the next round, and that chance is quite high, his market value will also increase again. More and more clubs are becoming interested. And they were already there.

“I think he can easily handle a club just below the top six in Europe. Then I’m talking about a club like Atlético Madrid or Liverpool. He can certainly handle that.”

With Slot already facing a tough task in filling the shoes of the iconic Jurgen Klopp, it would certainly help his cause to bring in a player who he knows well but also has the quality to succeed at Anfield.

INEOS now looking at signing "sensational" Shaw upgrade for Man Utd

It’s fair to say that the lack of reliability within the defensive department last season at Manchester United was a huge problem.

The centre-back spot was an issue, but as the campaign progressed, United were unable to field a left-back.

Luke Shaw

Luke Shaw missed the majority of the campaign through injury, and his future as a first-team player is now in question as a result of his continuous setbacks.

So bad have his issues been that he's not even fully trained once with England at Euro 2024 yet. It would appear as though Gareth Southgate's gamble on his fitness is not paying off.

So, United must sign someone who has the potential to be an upgrade on Shaw.

Man Utd want to reinforce the backline

It’s been widely reported that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS are looking to sign a centre-back this summer, as highlighted by the pursuit of Jarrad Branthwaite.

However, according to reports from Italy, Man United are now keen on making Riccardo Calafiori a Red Devil this summer.

Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori

It’s said that Bologna will demand a fee of around £34m for the defender, which isn’t a ridiculous price whatsoever.

That said, United won’t be alone in their quest for the Italian, with former Bologna boss Thiago Motta keen on bringing him to Juventus.

Why Calafiori would be a huge shaw upgrade

Switching Roma for Bologna could go down as the best decision of Calafioi’s career, with his current club giving him a platform to thrive.

The 22-year-old became a crucial player as his side qualified for the Champions League, operating as both a centre-back and a left-back.

Riccardo Calafiori.

The left-footed ace started 26 Serie A games, and he registered a fantastic two goals and five assists, which is far superior to Shaw’s zero.

But the ability to influence the game in the final third isn’t the only reason why Calafiori would be a huge upgrade on Shaw, with his overall game also proving superior.

Importantly, the youngster is known for being an extremely technical defender who has the ability to play out from the back and retain the ball under pressure. This would certainly help United assert their dominance for much longer spells.

Progression is another aspect of his game that’s unbelievable, whether that’s by passing through the lines or carrying the ball into midfield. So impressive is that aspect of his game that football analyst Ben Mattinson has even compared him to John Stones.

On the other hand, the Italian is an extremely proactive and intense defender who can thrive in a high line due to his immense speed and athleticism.

The number 33’s tackles, interceptions, and balls recovered prove this, and he’s a much better defender than the United left-back, as shown in the table.

Chelsea transfer target Luke Shaw in Premier League action for Man Utd.

However, the biggest advantage that the “sensational” Calafiori provides, as dubbed by the aforementioned Mattinson, is his insane versatility, which not only allows him to cover multiple roles but also gives Ten Hag plenty of tactical flexibility.

For example, there’s the potential that United’s in-possession setup could become a three-back, with Calafiori tucking in as a third central defender, which would enable Diogo Dalot to push further upfield.

Overall, the fact that Calafiori only missed two games through injury last season proves that on that alone, he’d be an upgrade on Shaw, but the rest of his statistics really do speak for themselves.

Para esfriar a cabeça! Grêmio dá três dias de folga para o elenco

Na noite de sábado (28), o Grêmio perdeu sua nona partida pelo Campeonato Brasileiro ao ser derrotado pelo Corinthians por 1 a 0, em jogo realizado na Arena, em Porto Alegre, e permanece enterrado na zona de rebaixamento.

Além de mais um resultado negativo, o que também chamou a atenção na derrota gremista foi o nervosismo dos jogadores dentro de campo, principalmente Maicon e Diego Souza. O primeiro partiu para cima do árbitro após o gol da equipe paulista e acabou sendo expulso. Já o segundo, ao sofrer uma falta do goleiro Cássio, ficou revoltado pela não expulsão do goleiro do Corinthians e tomou da mão do árbitro o cartão.

Como o próximo jogo do Grêmio contra o Ceará só será realizado no dia 12 de setembro (a partida da 19ª rodada do time gaúcho foi adiada por causa dos jogadores que foram cedidos à Seleção Brasileira), a diretoria do Imortal Tricolor deu folga para o elenco profissional até quarta-feira.

A reapresentação vai ocorrer em duas partes: na terça-feira voltam os jogadores que estão sob cuidados do departamento médico. Na quarta-feira o grupo estará completo com o restante dos jogadores. Vale ressaltar que o treinador Luiz Felipe Scolari declarou que irá observar na terça uma partida do “time de transição” atrás de alternativas para equipe do Grêmio.

Fato é que esses dias de folga são muito bem-vindos para o elenco gremista poder “esfriar a cabeça”, haja vista que o time comandado por Felipão sofreu derrotas dolorosas nas suas últimas partidas e passa por um momento complicado por estar na zona de rebaixamento.

Newcastle could seal biggest deal since Isak with move for £85m superstar

Last week, Newcastle United reached a critical juncture in their meteoric rise under Eddie Howe's management, with senior sources – as revealed by The Athletic – claiming that it was the most hectic and fear-riddled working week of their lives as concerns regarding a points deduction swelled.

Last season's Premier League and Champions League campaign was detrimentally disrupted by staggering injury problems, further compounded by the ten-month ban issued to recently-signed midfielder Sandro Tonali last October. Newcastle, consequently, will not play in European competition after finishing seventh in the league last year, losing their Conference League spot after Manchester United won the FA Cup.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe

It's been a summer of peaks and troughs ever since. Lewis Hall's loan move has been finalised on a permanent contract, while free agent Lloyd Kelly has joined the fold. Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson have been sold for a combined recoup of £65m, mitigating PSR concerns without parting with a starring member of the squad, as has been the fear.

Where will Newcastle strengthen next? Improvements are needed across the field. And while it might not feel like the most pressing concern after Kelly's arrival, central defence still needs work, with Sven Botman's ACL injury possibly keeping him out until the new year and Paul Dummett having left after his contract expired.

Newcastle transfer news

According to reports from Portugal last week – via Sport Witness – Newcastle are preparing to launch a bid for SL Benfica star Antonio Silva, who is performing for Portugal at Euro 2024.

SL Benfica centre-back Antonio Silva

The 20-year-old defender has a €100m (£85m) release clause in his contract but United are only willing to table an offer worth half that amount – €50m (£42m).

Whether Benfica would entertain such a bid is unclear, though the Magpies have been buoyed by suggestions that they would be open to selling for the right price, whatever that may be.

What Antonio Silva would bring to Newcastle

Liverpool and Arsenal have both been noted as suitors for the young titan in recent weeks, so Newcastle must continue their efforts toward beating the Premier League juggernauts by signing a star who could make a real difference.

Silva is still so young in his career but has already chalked up 94 senior displays for the Eagles, scoring seven goals and winning the 2022/23 Liga Portugal title.

He's been hailed for his "incredibly complete" profile by talent scout Jacek Kulig, ranking among the top 2% of centre-backs in the Portuguese top flight last season for pass completion, the top 14% for progressive passes, the top 16% for successful take-ons, the top 8% for tackles and the top 10% for blocks per 90, as per FBref.

All stats via Sofascore (* = per game)

The table above jots down the respective league metrics for Silva compared to Newcastle's three primary centre-halves – Botman, Fabian Schar and Jamal Lascelles.

What can we immediately see? Silva is undoubtedly the most mobile and aggressive defender, recovering the greater number of loose balls and thundering into 2.1 tackles per game. He carries the ball forward himself nearly once every two games (0.4), and while Schar recorded the same rate in the Premier League, he did so at an inferior success rate (62% vs 80%).

Sven Botman and Fabian Schar

Silva is also right-footed, which is the priority position in central defence for the Toon, Botman being left-sided and Schar and Lascelles, aged 32 and 30 respectively, entering the final year of their contracts.

The Benfica starlet has even been gushed over by pundit Jamie Carragher, who claimed that he is "going to be a superstar" after a stunning Champions League performance against Juventus in 2022.

He might even prove to be the biggest, most impactful signing since Alexander Isak was welcomed to Tyneside.

Their Biggest deal since Alexander Isak

Newcastle signed Isak from Real Sociedad for a club-record £63m fee in 2022, scoring ten goals from only 17 Premier League starts during an injury-hit debut campaign before setting Newcastle alight with his performances last season, scoring 25 goals from 40 matches across all competitions.

Newcastle striker Alexander Isak

The Swede is one of the finest marksmen in the Premier League, scoring 21 goals and missing just 21 big chances last term. Erling Haaland scored 27 goals in the top flight but missed 34 big chances.

Isak ranks among the top 7% of forwards in Europe for goals scored per 90, and while Chelsea have displayed a vested interest in securing his services in recent days, selling him is simply inconceivable for Howe.

He's one of the best, and Silva could grow into his skin to emerge as one of European football's leading players in his position too. Journalist Antonio Mango called him "one of the best" young defenders in the world and it's surely only a matter of time before he decides to leave his homeland and ply his trade in a top division such as the Premier League.

While the Magpies cannot offer an instantaneous route into the Champions League, there is the promise of a platform to cement himself as a leading member of the team, where he should showcase his skills and rise to the upper echelon.

Newcastle have their work laid out ahead of them if they mean to topple the 'big six' hegemony once and for all, but by signing Silva, who could undoubtedly grow into a world-class star, they might just make their biggest signing yet.

Reliable journalist: Newcastle preparing near £30m bid for "brilliant" ace

Newcastle United are ready to make a new and improved offer for a "brilliant" transfer target, according to a key update from reliable journalist Alan Nixon.

Newcastle transfer news

Eddie Howe continues to eye up fresh faces in the summer transfer window, with Mainz attacking midfielder Brajan Gruda seen as a key target. He is a player who could dovetail beautifully with Anthony Gordon next season, assuming the Magpies are able to stave off interest in the England winger from the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City.

Newcastle are also believed to have made contact with Torino and Italy centre-back Alessandro Buongiorno over a summer switch to St James' Park, with the 25-year-old having the same agent as Sandro Tonali, although he looks to be nearing a move to Napoli instead.

Alessandro Buongiorno

Exciting young Benfica centre-back Antonio Silva is seen as a standout option to bolster the defensive depth at Howe's disposal, too, as he looks to fill the void left by long-term injury victims Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles. The Portugal international appeared twice for his country at Euro 2024, prior to their exit at the hands of France, and could cost as much as £85m.

Barcelona ace Ronald Araujo has also emerged as an option at the heart of the defence, with the Uruguayan demanding a higher salary than the £114,000-a-week wages he is currently receiving at the Camp Nou. Newcastle and Manchester City are considered two clubs who could improve his earnings.

Newcastle to make new offer for "brilliant" player

According to Nixon on Patreon [via Give Me Sport], Newcastle are willing to make an improved offer for Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford, bidding closer to the £30m that the Clarets want for the 21-year-old's signature.

It could arrive in the coming weeks after an initial £16m effort was rebuffed, with the Magpies looking to sort out a long-term replacement for Nick Pope between the sticks, following an injury-plagued 2023/24 season for the 32-year-old.

Trafford really does seem to be Newcastle's priority choice in goal this summer, and it does now feel like a case of simply reaching an agreement that suits all parties. The Englishman may have had a tricky 2023/24 season at times, suffering relegation from the Premier League, but he is a player with such a high ceiling.

Ian Wright is one of many who have spoken of his admiration for him in the past: "He was brilliant, I was delighted for him. Coming into the Burnley side after a £19m move, Vincent Kompany has shown a lot of faith in him and he made some very, very good saves.

"A lot of the Burnley fans weren’t quite sure simply because of [Arijanet] Muric and how well he had done to come up, but he made some fantastic saves."

Newcastle hit gold on titan who's worth more than Gibbs-White & Madueke

The talent has excelled since his move to St James’ Park.

ByEthan Lamb Jul 6, 2024

Trafford arguably stands out as the most likely player to be England's long-term No.1 after Jordan Pickford, assuming he continues to grow as a player – he confidently believes that will be the case, too – and he could learn so much training alongside Pope every day, possibly usurping him in no time in the process.
