Liverpool is gearing up to potentially secure Johan Bakayoko, the winger from PSV Eindhoven, in a summer transfer deal worth €25 million. The Reds have had their eye on Bakayoko for a while now, and it seems like the time might be ripe for them to make their move.
Throughout the season, Liverpool has been closely monitoring Bakayoko’s performances, contemplating a bid for the Belgian sensation. However, other priorities may have delayed their pursuit, with Jurgen Klopp focusing on pressing matters. Nevertheless, Bakayoko remains a promising prospect on Liverpool’s radar, and a summer transfer could be on the cards.
PSV Eindhoven, on the other hand, is standing firm on their asking price of €25 million for Bakayoko. Despite his impressive contribution of 21 goals this season, the Eredivisie club is not budging on their valuation, setting the stage for negotiations between the two parties.
Liverpool Set To Offer €25m To Sign The PSV Winger
In their quest to secure Bakayoko, Liverpool is looking to mend relations with PSV. Initially viewed as a potential successor to Salah, Bakayoko is now seen as a valuable addition to Liverpool’s squad. The Reds have likely conducted thorough research on the winger, positioning themselves favorably for the transfer. However, if PSV indicates a willingness to part ways with Bakayoko, competition from other clubs is expected to intensify.
Liverpool faces stiff competition from the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea in the race for Bakayoko’s signature. His performances for PSV have attracted interest from multiple clubs, with Liverpool and Chelsea particularly keen on bolstering their attacking options with young talent.
Chelsea, known for their focus on nurturing young players, could present a formidable challenge to Liverpool’s pursuit of Bakayoko. With a commitment to developing talent through the Premier League and other avenues, Chelsea’s interest adds another dimension to the transfer saga.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Liverpool’s pursuit of Johan Bakayoko and the potential challenges they may encounter along the way.
Ismael Bennacer news:
With AC Milan reportedly open to selling Ismael Bennacer, Arsenal has emerged as one of the interested parties, as per Calciomercato. Mikel Arteta is eyeing Bennacer as part of a midfield revamp at the Emirates, with talks of a potential €50 million transfer fee swirling around.
The question arises: Could Bennacer entertain a return to Arsenal? Having made just one senior appearance under Arsene Wenger before departing in 2017, Bennacer’s journey took him to Empoli, where he showcased his skills before finding success with AC Milan in Serie A.
Despite becoming a key figure under Stefano Pioli, policy changes at AC Milan could see Bennacer depart this summer. Although previously linked with Real Madrid, a move back to the Premier League might be on the cards.
Arsenal, his former club, is keen on bringing him back. However, they’ll need to stump up the €50 million asking price. With several midfielders possibly on their way out, Arsenal sees an opportunity to reinforce their squad, considering Bennacer’s Serie A exploits.
But there’s a caveat: Bennacer’s recent injury woes, especially following a serious knee problem, raise concerns for potential suitors like Arsenal.
