Journalist confirms Liverpool ready to hand Salah £350k/w to keep him at Anfield

Liverpool and FSG are said to be preparing a bumper contract for Mo Salah, amounting to £350,000-a-week, to persuade him to extend his stay at Anfield until 2025, as noted in a tweet by Ekrem Konur.

Video: Jack Wilshere wants Declan Rice to stay at West Ham but it will harm his career

The best people to speak to about Declan Rice’s trajectory at West Ham United would be David Moyes and those who have played alongside the midfielder.

Jack Wilshere is one such player, and the former Hammer believes that the England star should stay at West Ham.

With the possible exception of winning the title, Wilshere clearly feels that Rice can achieve everything he wants to in his career whilst plying his trade in east London.

As one of the club’s youngest-ever captains, the football world really is Rice’s oyster, though it’s debatable that he will hit the highest heights if he remains at West Ham.

Raphinha’s agent Deco has confirmed Liverpool’s interest in the Leeds United star.

The Reds were reportedly keen on the Brazilian attacker in the summer window, with the Anfield-based outfit said to be considering the possibility of bolstering the forward line following the drop-off in form from Sadio Mane and Bobby Firmino.

“He’s young, he has many challenges ahead, there are certainly several clubs that like him, and Liverpool do like him, there were surveys, but nothing official.

Robert Lewandowski isn’t right for Man City even if he’s ousted by Haaland at Bayern Munich

Next summer’s transfer window could see the merry-go-round turning apace once it’s known where Erling Haaland is going to end up.

The young Norwegian is likely to be the most sought after name in the transfer window, with most of Europe’s elite clubs vying for his services.

Christian Falk of Bild detailed in a tweet that Bayern Munich have discussed the possibility of bringing the 21-year-old to Bavaria, and would aim to do so if Robert Lewandowski’s career at the club is coming to an end.

The Polish hit man has been an incredible servant for Bayern, however, he isn’t getting any younger.

Even at 33 years of age (34 by the beginning of the 22/23 campaign), Lewandowski still knows where the goal is, though it’s arguable that, despite his natural goalscoring instincts, he’s not as sharp as he once was.

‘Prodigal son’ – These Liverpool fans would take Philippe Coutinho back at Anfield ‘in a heartbeat’ after link emerges

Philippe Coutinho remains something of a divisive figure still in Merseyside following his ill-advised departure from Liverpool in 2018.

The money the Reds then received at the time (£142m) ultimately funded the club’s acquisition of two key men – Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk – who were both adjudged to have helped turn around the side’s fortunes.

There’s still an overriding sense that the Brazilian made the wrong decision to swap Anfield for the Camp Nou (a feeling backed up by reality), however, in large part, fans have moved on.

Hummels fires transfer warning to Haaland amid Man United & Man City links

Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels has warned his team-mate Erling Haaland that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side amid transfer rumours linking him with the likes of Manchester United and Manchester City.

The Norway international is one of the most exciting young talents in world football at the moment, having scored a stunning 68 goals in 67 appearances since joining Dortmund.

Still only 21 years of age, it seems clear that Haaland has a great career ahead of him, and the Times have recently claimed that both United and City are keen to snap him up.

One imagines other top clubs will surely also be in for Haaland in the near future, but Hummels has warned the prolific forward that he also needs to appreciate what he currently has.
