That said, he's definitely got a sketchy injury record. Missed 13 games in 19/20, missed 12 games in 18/19, has had a fair few muscular issues with his legs, lots of niggly pulls and tweaks all over the shop. Be interesting to see how he holds up playing 9000mph Klopp football all year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he put his injury worries behind him this season, missed just 2 games through injury Probably just end up like Keita though with Klopps football 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniFox21 Posted 9 June 2021 Share Posted 9 June 2021 1 hour ago, moore_94 said: Liverpool have apparently bid the release clause for Lorenzo Pellegrini at Roma https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/saul-niguez-graham-potter-diego-simeone-premier-league-nuno-espirito-santo-b1862304.html “Liverpool have made a £25.8m bid for Roma captain and Italy midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini, 24, according to Corriere dello Sport. The Reds are eyeing the 24-year-old as a replacement for out-of-contract Georginio Wijnaldum, 30, who is a target for Paris St Germain. Pellegrini stood out for Roma last season, scoring 11 goals and making nine assists, and is high on Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp’s priority list as he seeks to add attacking spark to his midfield.” You'd assume if Liverpool get him, then they wouldn't bother with Youri. £26mill on with the Kounate £30mill is surely suggesting they can't afford or don't want Youri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniFox21 Posted 10 June 2021 Share Posted 10 June 2021 So contract talks pushed by us and whole thing probably settled after the Euros. Hoping we get this sorted as leaving it so late for a replacement could **** us, has similar feeling to Kante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we have Soumare and KDH in that position that we didn't last season so I would argue that we already have. Never know but it could be the making of them, especially KDH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping the contract had already been signed and sealed, but obviously that's not the case. Probably it's on the table waiting to be signed but he hasn't signed it yet. I wouldn't be surprised if Youri is one of the stand-out players at the Euros, and if so I can see another team making a move. Best hope really is that clubs are too broke to be able to afford him!

In my opinion youri is in rarefied air and the list of clubs with the stature to attract him is short. Probably Real madrid - broke Barcelona - broke Juventus - mega broke Man city - possible Man United - would have to sell pogba first you would have thought. Liverpool - possible Chelsea - possible Bayern munich - possible Psg - possible You would hope that clubs of that magnitude would have their summer targets already in place after years of careful planning and scouting and won't be swayed by a one of tournament. Also unlike Mahrez he doesn't want out at any cost and is fairly settled in Leicestershire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's not exactly the same type of midfielder as Youri, but it's Youri's place in the team that he'll be considered for most. I agree with @Gerard - we're adding two CMs this summer in Soumare and KDH. If Youri leaves, we won't need any replacement, let alone an expensive one. I'd much sooner get the RW or CB we need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
