Summer rebuild 2023

Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella is on Liverpool's shortlist of summer targets, with the 26-year-old Italy international having been watched by the Anfield club's scouts. (Gazzetta dello Sport - in Italian)
Liverpool are interested in signing Bayern Munich and the Netherlands midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, 20, to play alongside England and Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham, 19. (Express)

Liverpool, Newcastle, Tottenham and West Ham are among the Premier League clubs monitoring Mainz and Germany midfielder Anton Stach, 24. (90min)

Never heard of Stach, his youtube reel makes him look underwhelming
 
Will you guys be happy if we bought Jude Bellingham and nobody else substantial though?

I highly doubt we will have anything even close to a 100m to spend in total, which will all be gone with Bellingham, if it is even possible.
 
From the BBC Sports web site...

Egypt winger Mohamed Salah would be willing to leave Liverpool in the summer if the club fail to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Paris St-Germain will face competition from Liverpool for the signature of AC Milan and Portugal forward Rafael Leao, with the Merseyside club ready to include Colombia winger Luis Diaz, 26, in a swap deal for the 23-year-old.

The first story about Salah make some sort of sense
The second story re-Diaz, makes no sense at all

PSG give us £100m, I'll drive Salah to PSG myself. Until then, he is an LFC player and despite the patchy, inconsistent performance he is our best striker and one of the best in the league
 
The same, and he's a massive cunt. But people wont get their wish about us selling Salah regardless.

I just hope you forgave the club for selling Coutinho ...
I just want the club to as competitive as possible ... players come and go, even club legends.
 
I'm guessing this dude represents Salah and Salah alone given that he seems to have the time to respond to random tweets.

I'm surprised clubs don't come down harder on this kinda shit.

I wouldn’t stand for it. I’d take the agents words to be from the player and would crack down on it.

Really? You are comparing selling Coutinho to selling Salah? Is that where we are in this discussion?

At the time, the only reason most of us were ok with selling Coutinho is because he had pulled the 'back stunt' - we weren't aware how his sale would push us to where we got.

If selling Salah is the way to rejuvenate this team, so be it. If it's not, so be it.
But if selling him creates the next great Liverpool team, sure I'll compare it - wouldn't you?
Just remember, the badge and club is bigger than any player ... we learned it the hard way far too many times.

No, I wouldnt compare it. The badge and and club is always bigger than any player. But that doesn't warrant making a wrong move when building a new team. This will be my last comment about Salah I reckon. Not worth it with spending time discussing it and continuing reading short sighted and knee jerk reactions to a poor season.

You've already signed off that any move 'as a wrong move' (and assuming there is one, it very well may be - I'm not in the camp that any move is a good move, with Salah, or VvD or any player we may need to sell to rebuild this team) ... but your statement highlights you're unable to have a conversation on it because your mind is made up. Perhaps your opinion isn't short sighted, or knee jerk, but it's blinkered beyond belief in the opinion a) Salah is the key figure to this club's success now and going forward and b) if Liverpool sell him, it's a failure (no matter what happens afterward).

As FYI - The issue with Salah were being discussed in December 2021 as his form started to slump ... and then throughout the quad push of 2022 - despite the success ... and all of this season ... So almost 15 months, but it's "short sighted" and "knee jerk reactions to a poor season" ... I get it - he's a club legend. I get it - he's had a good season in terms of his personal stats. I get it - you think Liverpool cannot move forward without him. Just expected the high horse form of debating to be something we do with Ross or Dantes.
 
Didn’t Fichajes just come out with a story saying we valued Fab at 70m?

Obviously looking for clickbaits but even if someone offered half that we should be biting their hands off.

Let's see who offers what for whom?
1st port of call is to get the replacements for MF players we know are leaving.
Then we look at driftwood and underperformers. Ignoring budgets, lets say we get 3 MF, that enough there to alter the team. In terms of deadwood -Gomez and CJ are higher up that list. So if someone doesn't offer decent money for Fab, I'd keep for another year in the hope he recovers his form or he stays on the bench.
@binomial didn't you say that the asking price for Barella would be nowhere near £70m? Well, news reports has it Inter want over £70m.

Nothing wrong with sticking by a few aging players. Its just about which ones you keep.

From yesterday:
7 out of 11 best players for FIFA FIPRO as voted by pro footballers globally are all 30 years old or older. 3 of them are 35 years old or older.
