In our latest daily update talk cock sessions, we look at the latest transfer news for Mohamed Salah, Folarin Balogun, Sofyan Amrabat, Kieran Tierney, and Jeremy Doku, gossip, and highlights that have football fans from over the world buzzing with excitement.
Liverpool is not interested in selling Mohamed Salah after he received a giant offer from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad
Liverpool have no intention of selling Mohamed Salah in this transfer window amid growing interest from Saudi Arabia and are ready to resist any imminent attempt to lure the Egyptian from Anfield.
Al-Ittihad and Mo Salah have reached an agreement on a 3-year contract, USD 240M net in total.
The clubs have been discussing for a few hours. Salah will not force his departure and is up to Al Ittihad to convince Liverpool and the Reds are refusing to sell Salah.
Al-Ittihad are attempting to sign Mo Salah from Liverpool. It is unclear if the move will materialise at this stage, but the interest is concrete.
Klopp on Salah and Al Ittihad: “We don’t have an official offer — Mo Salah is a Liverpool player and for all the things we do is essential”.
“If there would be something, the answer would be NO”.
“Mo is 100% committed to Liverpool. Nothing to talk about”.
Even if an extraordinary offer was made, replacing a player of Salah’s pedigree within a few days would be near impossible for manager Jurgen Klopp.
As yet, there has been no indication from the player’s side that he is anything but committed to Anfield as he is one year into a £350,000 a week deal running until 2025.
AS Monaco are favourites to sign Arsenal forward Folarin Balogun on a permanent deal
AS Monaco is closing in on a £40 million swoop for Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun.
As things stand, the USA international is only considering a move to the French side despite interest from other Premier League clubs.
The Gunners were in talks with the Ligue 1 club amid an expectation that a formal offer would be made by the end of the week.
And the deal has progressed significantly in the last 24 hours with an agreement now virtually sealed.
Some finer details of the deal still require finalising but the expectation is that Balogun will join Monaco.
Flo Balogun has already said yes to the AS Monaco project and also agreed to personal terms days ago — the deal being finalised between clubs.
Manchester United could make a late move for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat
Sofyan Amrabat is training away from the Fiorentina squad so as not to risk an injury that could cost him a move away, with Manchester United still linked.
Manchester United have been handed a huge boost in their pursuit of Sofyan Amrabat with Fiorentina admitting they will ‘consider bids’ for him.”
“The Red Devils, alongside Premier League rivals Liverpool, have been linked with a swoop for the Moroccan midfielder before the end of the transfer window.
The Reds are still looking for midfield recruits, whilst Erik ten Hag also wants to add to his midfield options before the end of the summer.
Amrabat’s future appears set to be away from Fiorentina. He was excluded from the Italian side’s squad for their Europa Conference League play-off against Rapid Vienna.
The 27-year-old is also training alone and away from the Italian club’s first team amid growing rumours surrounding his future.
Now, Fiorentina’s chief executive Giuseppe Barone has offered an update by revealing that they have not received any bids for the midfielder but have not ruled out potentially selling him shortly.”
Fiorentina CEO Barone on Sofyan Amrabat deal: “Sofyan’s not working with the squad — but we have still not received any bid for Amrabat this summer”.
“If there are players who are unhappy here, we can start considering bids for them of course”, added Barone.
Sofyan Amrabat want the move and he is still waiting for Manchester United
