July 31, 2023 No Comments

Bayern Munich executives are reportedly in London to discuss with Daniel Levy over the transfer of Harry Kane. The Bavarians have been vocal about their desire to bring Kane to Allianz Arena this summer but have met with strong resistance from Spurs’ chairman Levy thus far. The Bundesliga club put in two bids reported to be worth around £70m. However, Levy and Tottenham have deemed both proposals too small for the 30-year-old, who has just one year left on his deal in North London.

Tottenham expect the Bavarians to submit a club-record bid for Kane, who is their primary target to fill the vacancy left by Robert Lewandowski last season. Meanwhile, there has been plenty of speculation Bayern’s president, Herbert Hainer, has insisted talks between Tottenham and Bayern have been smooth despite the widespread panic that the deal was called off last weekend. “Sometimes people read too much into normal processes,” Hainer told TZ. “What I can say is that Daniel Levy is a professional. We all have the utmost respect for him.”

‘These things, it needs time’-Jurgen Klopp calls for patience for Liverpool summer signing

July 31, 2023 No Comments

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has urged fans to reduce their expectations from the club’s summer signing Alexis Mac Allister. The Reds boss, who watched as his side put in a perfect show on Sunday when they beat Leicester City 4-0, admitted he was impressed with new signing Mac Allister in the game. However, he also urged fans to remain patient with the Argentine as he gets used to life at Anfield. Read more: Liverpool to make improved offer worth £45m for Romeo Lavia Mac Allister joined the Reds earlier this summer in a £35m deal from Brighton. The Argentina international has seen plenty of minutes during pre-season and really made an impact during the recent 4-0 victory over Leicester, being singled out by Klopp after the game. “When we found Macca between the lines, he was really good,” Klopp told The Athletic. “That helped us speed the game up.” But even though he has already been impressed by Mac Allister, Klopp insisted the 24-year-old is not yet at his best and warned fans he will need time to fully learn his place in Liverpool’s system. “So, we have to work on it, and we work on that. We have a lot of options in the areas, and the boys need to show up. “Good player. These things, it needs time,” Klopp said of Mac Allister. “Even in the season, it’s not that you have the first game and then it’s the best game of the season – that would be really horrible if that would be the case. “It’s not pressure. It’s just the situation because I think it was clear when we scored in the first half three goals, but in the second half, Cody [Gakpo] and Dom [Szoboszlai] and Luis [Diaz] and Ben [Doak], to be honest, that was pretty special. And Harvey [Elliott] as well really showed up.”

PSG could finalise the signing of Dembele by paying his release clause, which is an option now that personal terms are agreed upon. Per the report, Dembele has agreed to a five-year deal with PSG, with the French club informing Barcelona of the situation. The two clubs have held talks, and how they develop in the coming hours will determine whether PSG will need to pay the release clause or come to an agreement with Barcelona.

Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez has admitted he was disappointed with his ex-teammate Romelu Lukaku over his conduct as the Nerazzurri tried to re-sign him from Chelsea. Chelsea and Inter had been locked in transfer talks for months and were finally nearing an agreement over a permanent move for Lukaku, who had spent last year on loan at San Siro. However, the Belgian failed to return Inter’s calls and was accused of holding talks with fierce rivals Juventus. Lukaku’s action infuriated Inter, who wasted little time in abandoning their quest for the deal, ending hopes of another reunion between Martinez and Lukaku, who were one of Europe’s fiercest strike forces just a few years ago. His action has drawn the wrath of his former teammate and strike partner, Martinez. The Belgian had publicly and privately insisted he would never entertain a move to another Italian side, as he was keen on a move to San Siro.

Thankfully, it’s his choice. I wish him the best. But I didn’t expect this attitude.”
