Check to Madrid from Anfield

Not long ago the great rival in the transfer market for Real Madrid was Barcelona, ​​Manchester United or more recently, City and PSG. This summer it will be Liverpool. The Anfield club is throwing the rest for the two players who in Chamartín are considered strategic in 2021: Kylian Mbappé and David Alaba. The first as the crack on which to build the future Madridista and the second as a replacement if finally Ramos does not renew. The entity net he has become a very powerful contender. Gone are the times when Liverpool called on the white door to get on loan, as happened in 2012 with the Turkish Nuri Sahin. Now it is, as it is known in the slang of the football market, a top player.

“In economic and sporting terms, Liverpool is in a real position to fight any signing”. This is how he tells it off the record AS an expert in international transactions. Liverpool are offering Mbappé the complete pack to seduce him. The spotlights of the Premier, a competition that he loves, a club with a history of past and present success (he broke his curse in the Premier and expanded it with two Champions League finals in the last three years and one Orejona, just what he craves the French star) and also go hand in hand in the most purely lucrative businesses. Nike would be his Celestina.

In the summer, the Oregon multinational managed to snatch Liverpool's sponsorship from New Balance in a lawsuit that ended with the British club justifying the change to Nike “due to its global impact.” In this multi-year agreement, Liverpool will receive a fixed € 35 million and the rest in bonuses, including the jewel in the crown: 20% of the profits from each shirt sold. That is where the potential of Mbappé comes in, an athlete sponsored by Nike who has just joined forces with another star of the house, Lebron James … in turn, a minority shareholder of Liverpool. Join the dotted line.

That way, Mbappé himself would contribute to pay his new salary, which will at least double the € 20.2M net that he currently receives at PSG. And he would have Klopp in command, with whom the Parisian striker has shown reciprocal sympathy and a coach capable of squeezing his best football with the dizzying style of this Liverpool. A good way not to miss Salah if the Egyptian finally forces a trade as he hinted at in AS.

Praise, a relief for Van Dijk

Klopp is racking his brains on reinforcing the other end of the field and that's where Alaba comes in. Like Madrid, its versatility is good for it (it could also help if Robertson is missing on the left wing) and It remains to be seen how both Van Dijk, their supreme leader in defensive affairs, and Joe Gómez return from their serious knee injuries.. Communication between the German coach and Alaba, Austrian, couldn't be easier. The Guardian ensures that in this signing, Madrid is also ahead. But This Liverpool is no longer a second-tier and is waiting for a coup in the form of hires beating the pulse of European giants to finish making it clear.
