🚨🚨 Barça are AWARE of Lisandro Martinez.

They do NOT want to sign him, because he is terrible, but they are AWARE he exists, as a person.

🚨❌ Jürgen Klopp’s agent denies any chance to become next Real Madrid manager.

Enrique Riquelme claimed contacts next week with Raúl for Klopp to become Real new manager if he wins the elections.

Klopp’s agent Kosicke: “It’s annoying. He’s not planning to return to coaching a club and happy at Red Bull”, told @SkySportDE @plettigoal.

Bayern Munich, through head of sport Max Eberl and head coach Vincent Kompany, did indeed establish contact with Rio Ngumoha and his representatives in recent weeks in an attempt to position Bayern Munich as a potential destination for one of English football’s most highly regarded young talents, with those approaches arriving during a period in which the player was frustrated by his limited opportunities under former Liverpool head coach Arne Slot and uncertain whether his pathway to first-team football would immediately accelerate, leading Bayern to receive indications that he could hypothetically be open to a short-term alternative pathway in order to accelerate his development and accumulate valuable senior minutes at a smaller club and in a less demanding league, before eventually returning to Liverpool, the iconic and most decorated institution in English football on Merseyside that he has always regarded as his dream club, as a more complete, experienced and established player.

However, as discussions intensified, Bayern’s representatives made their financial position clear by indicating a valuation in the region of £35 million (€40 million), a figure viewed as so far removed from Liverpool’s internal assessment that serious negotiations never truly materialised, with Liverpool having absolutely no intention of entertaining the sale of one of their most prized academy talents, while those involved increasingly recognised the vast gulf between Bayern’s proposal and Liverpool’s expectations, further reinforced by Ngumoha’s insistence that any hypothetical departure would require mechanisms facilitating a future return to Anfield following his development elsewhere, meaning no personal agreement was ever reached between Bayern Munich and the player as several fundamental conditions surrounding any potential move never aligned, ultimately underlining where his heart remained throughout the process and where he continues to envision his long-term future.

The entire situation furthermore shifted dramatically the moment Arne Slot departed and Andoni Iraola arrived at Liverpool, effectively removing the very foundations upon which Bayern’s hopes had been built as Ngumoha’s outlook changed almost immediately, with the player now believing he has a genuine opportunity to establish himself under the new manager and determined to fight for his place rather than abandon his ambitions at the club he considers his footballing home, leaving Bayern increasingly aware that their chances had diminished significantly and that important discussions between the player and his new head coach would soon take place, a development which in turn ensured that discussions never advanced towards any form of personal agreement, as the player’s focus became centred almost exclusively on earning his opportunity at Liverpool rather than pursuing a move elsewhere.

For Bayern Munich, the outcome of the situation serves as yet another reminder of where the club increasingly finds itself within football’s modern hierarchy, because while Liverpool, Real Madrid, Barcelona and the financial superpowers of the Premier League continue to compete for the sport’s most coveted talents, Bayern are finding themselves pushed further down the food chain and increasingly forced to operate in markets where competition is less fierce and rejection less likely, and with industry figures viewing as unrealistic any scenario involving Liverpool actively pushing Ngumoha out after the arrivals of targets such as Yan Diomande or Bradley Barcola, another target appears destined to join Bayern’s ever-growing collection of missed opportunities, a collection now so extensive that if one were to stack all the rejection letters accumulated over recent transfer windows they would likely form a wall high enough to block out the sun over Munich and cast a permanent shadow across Säbener Straße.

@greggmunikwa @Plettigoal Backup to Diaz?? Like he’d wanna start all over again as a ‘backup’ after being backup to Slots love child for the past 12 months.

@TomG1989 @tezilyas What a pathetic take this is.

Love these quotes!!!

[Anfield Sector @AnfieldSector]

Andoni Iraola:

“I want to get ready. Also with the World Cup being there, we will have a chance to work with especially with some of the young players, because a lot of senior players are out and arriving later because of the World Cup. I think it gives us the chance to know better the players from the Academy, some of the players that have been on loan, they will be important for the first part of pre-season, the American tour. I think it works very well for us, it gives us a lot of information before we take really decisions, before we start the season.”
