Well he's a "fan", but you know it's business...Martin Odegaard is going well at Arsenal.
May chance of hijacking that?

Apparently these are the info. from the article:
Neto and Rahpinha are over £50m each, would you say? Inaki Williams is another option - I know he is 26 but still has serious paceMbappe, Haaland, Lautaro Martinez would all cost absurd amounts of money, and I just can't see us getting any of them, Lebron and RedBird notwithstanding.
We'll probably get one of the likes of Patson Daka, Alexander Isak, Donyell Malen, Jonathan David, Pedro Neto, Raphinha.

It won't be easy finding a replacement for Firmino, his link up play, tactical intelligence, unselfishness, work rate and yes, his goals that have included some of the most important strikes in winning us multiple titles over the last couple of years.
So maybe we change the shape of the team instead.
It's either a more conventional mobile striker like Haaland or Kane but both are likely to be out of our financial reach or a no-striker system like City at the moment with another pacy skillful forward interplaying with our current threesome.
Hmmm

Surprised more teams aren't linked with Malen. If he has a good euros he'll go for 40 mil plusMbappe, Haaland, Lautaro Martinez would all cost absurd amounts of money, and I just can't see us getting any of them, Lebron and RedBird notwithstanding.

Who will it be? I really think we will try to go all out for Mbappe (either this summer or next). LeBron James recently becoming a full-fledged partner with FSG might help - this is the kind of “statement signing” he would love to make and he does have pulling power because of his brand and relationship with Nike.
But needless to say, we’ll have competition - pretty much every other club on the planet. So if we cannot make this happen (and I think we don’t have much of a chance for Haaland regardless), what are some of the alternatives we should be considering?
Obviously, Patson Daka will be a name on everyone’s lips and the competition for him will be almost as fierce. Can RB Salzburg really produce 2 superstars strikers back-to-back? His numbers are great, but I’m not yet completely sold on other aspects from the limited times I’ve seen him play - but if we can’t get Mbappe he may well be the best available option. At least we’ll definitely win the AFCON this time.
Personally I’m a big fan of a Miroslav Klose/Lewandowski/Klinsmann type of striker. Those are often underappreciated because fans don’t get excited as much about a slower player - but the right kind of “big man” can be extremely valuable in the long run and often more durable than the speedsters. The young Adam Hlozek that @Pesam mentioned looks like he could be such a player - but is he too young to make an impact? The Suarez/Lautaro Martinez/Dybala type of a hard-working, creative striker without standout physical attributes can be interesting too - but it’s rare for an English club to get someone like that before the Spanish and Italian ones do.
Danny Ings.
Thats the post.
You just know if he signs he'll score 6 goals in 5 games, then break his hip and be out for 18 months...
The problem with the Mbappe deal wouldn't be with Mbappe's salary alone. It would also be with Salah, Mane, and Van Dijk demanding Mbappe wage parity. It's not happening - so we all need to move on from that.LeBron keen to pay Mbappes £400k per week wages himself is he? That's the only way that deal is happening
Terrible attitude apparently. Don't think Klopp would want him.I know he's been shit at Madrid, but would Jovic be considered?

Yeah, what I read about him seriously turned me off. His attitude has direct influence on why he failed in Madrid.
Have a feeling Malen will be the guy.
I join in.I'm sold. Where is the Malen train?
Danny is a bit on the short side thoughI'm sold. Where is the Malen train?
Someone who can get on the end of the crosses?
