On the program for this news: Liverpool are already active in the transfer window, Bayern is eyeing an Italian nugget and the FM excluded of the day.
Liverpool's tracks for the transfer window
To compensate for the absence of Joël Matip, who is suffering from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, the club's upper echelons could take action during the next winter transfer window. They would thus be interested in Maxence Lacroix according to the English media. You would have to pay at least €35 million to afford the Frenchman from Wolfsburg. In the event of failure on this issue, the Reds could afford the young Lucas Beraldo from São Paulo. This transfer would be much less costly. Especially since Liverpool have embarked on many battles, and risk losing them all. The club is still determined to secure the services of Florian Wirtz but his performances have caught the eye of all the big European teams. His price will rise and we should expect to at least offer €130 million to convince Bayer Leverkusen to let him go. Liverpool will have to make a choice, because if the Reds go for the German prodigy, they will no longer have the finances necessary to sign Kylian Mbappé , free of any contract in June 2024. In the event of Real Madrid's failure to offer the Parisian, the English club thinks they can convince him to play in the Premier League with the red jersey. But hey, Liverpool will have to put aside other issues if they absolutely want the French international. According to journalist Ekrem Konur, the Reds want to start bidding for Thiago Almada and Khephren Thuram. Here again we will have to take out a big check, we are talking about almost €50 million for the Frenchman. That's not all, in terms of big spending, the Daily Mail reveals that Liverpool are following Archie Gray very closely . The Reds compare him to Trent Alexander-Arnold for his versatility. To recruit him, you will have to put at least €45 million on the table. But this amount is likely to rise since the Peacocks are not sellers at the moment.
Bayern Munich are very interested in a great Italian prospect
It's been a long, long time since we've seen an Italian wear the Bavarian jersey. The last one was Luca Toni, almost 12 years ago… And that will perhaps change with a certain Giorgio Scalvini . Trained at Atalanta, the young 19-year-old defender has found a place in the Bergamo eleven. Bayern Munich will have to break the bank to afford the Transalpine, linked to the Italian team until 2027 and whose market value is estimated at around €40 million. For Thomas Tuchel's gang, it will not be an easy task because the Serie A resident is not a salesman.
FM excluded of the day
Sékou Mara , lacking playing time with Southampton, could relaunch in Ligue 1. According to our information, LOSC came to information for a loan with an option to buy. OM also keeps a close eye on the player's situation. It should be remembered that the name of Sekou Mara had already been mentioned last winter on the Canebière.
