Liverpool has brought in Portuguese players to bolster their squad in recent transfer windows, and their attention is now focused on Manuel Ugarte
Last January, the Reds splashed the cash to sign Colombian winger Luis Diaz from FC Porto, and the Colombian proved to be an instant hit at Anfield.
Furthermore, the Merseysiders signed Darwin Nunez from Benfica last summer. The Uruguayan international is still adjusting.
According to reports, Liverpool is closing in on signing Nunez’s countryman, Ugarte, from Sporting CP.
We reported two days ago (via Correio da Manha) that the South American playmaker is set to leave the Lions in the summer and will join Liverpool.
According to DAZN reporter Orazio Accomando, the 22-year-old midfielder is very close to joining Liverpool, who is leading the race to sign him.
The youngster has more than three years left on his contract with Liga Nos, who will only sell him if his £53 million release clause is met.
Ugarte has made 8 appearances for Uruguay so far. He was a member of the squad that traveled to Qatar for the FIFA World Cup last year, but he did not compete.
So far in the current season, the Sporting midfielder has started 27 league games and helped the team keep 12 clean sheets.
Fabinho, Liverpool’s main defensive midfielder, will turn 30 this year, and based on his performances this season, the Brazilian appears to be past his prime.
Should Liverpool replace the Samba star by paying £53 million for Manuel Ugarte, in your opinion?
‘At the moment,’ says Fabrizio Romano of Joao Palhinha’s move to Liverpool in January.
Writer Fabrizio Romano has said something regarding bits of gossip connecting Liverpool with a January move for Joao Palhinha
Palhinha has been desired by Liverpool fans since a ruling presentation against them last May. In any case, despite the fact that there were a lot of bits of gossip that he might join the Reds over the late spring, it won’t ever emerge.
“For Palhinha right now Liverpool have not enacted any substantial contact,” said the exchange master, prior to proceeding to detail somewhat more about his assumption for the Fulham midfielder.
“Palhinha is in the rundown of many clubs. He could be extravagant – the sticker price going to be vital. On the off chance that Fulham accept they will let him go just for 75 or 80 million Euros it will be hard for Weapons store, Bayern, this large number of clubs.
“In the event that they can acknowledge an alternate sort of charge, I believe there’s a generally excellent opportunity for Palhinha to leave in the January move window. His need stays to leave in January.”
Liverpool not dynamic in Palhinha pursue
This may be a tad of a failure for those fans who might want to see Liverpool take a run at Palhinha in the New Year.
Thus, this would in any case give off an impression of being an especially open race.
Obviously, as ever with Liverpool, the critical thing in any move for Palhinha will be his possible sticker price. On the day of the deadline, Bayern agreed to a £58 million deal with Fulham for the 28-year-old, but the deal fell through.
As Romano insinuates, in the event that the Cottagers are waiting for that sort of charge – or more-once more, then, at that point, Palhinha might remain where he is.
That is probably not going to be an issue for Fulham, who might clearly rather keep one of their absolute best players.
Yet, for Palhinha himself, he might consider that to be a slight disloyalty. The Portugal international may believe that his club owes him a move because he has performed admirably since being denied a major summer move.
The player is now ‘one step closer’ to joining Liverpool – the ‘agreement is being finalized,’ and the deal is nearing the ‘final phase.’
Monday may have been a quiet day for Liverpool fans, but it appears that things are about to get very exciting very soon
According to Foot Mercato, who has an exclusive piece suggesting that Roméo Lavia is now ‘one step away’ from signing with the Reds.
The Anfield club remain ‘in pole position’ to sign the Belgium international from the south of England, despite competition from elsewhere, and they are close to acquiring him. In fact, Foot Mercato report that ‘an agreement is being finalised’ between all parties involved in the transfer, and all that remains is ‘an agreement between the two clubs’ for the transfer to go through.
According to Foot Mercato, ‘an agreement is being concluded’ between all parties involved in the transfer, and all that remains is ‘an agreement between the two clubs’ for the deal to be completed.
The transaction is now at its ‘final stages,’ and the process is expected to cost Liverpool ‘about €50 million,’ which will be extremely welcome money for Southampton.
Despite his young age, the 19-year-old was a fixture for the now-Champions League team last season, appearing in 34 games across all competitions and recording one goal, one assist, and ten yellow cards.
