Club would Prefer Selling Highly Rated Star to Liverpool in Summer

Zaryab — Sat, 23 Dec 2017 06:59:50 +0000

Liverpool let slip a two goal lead against Arsenal at the Emirates and could only earn a single point last night. Once again, all the good work done in the attack was undone by Liverpool’s poor defending.
The Merseysiders desperately need to sign a new central defender in the upcoming winter transfer window. They are virtually out of the title race and such a shaky back line could prove disastrous in the KO stages of the Champions League.
If reports (Independent) are anything to go by then Liverpool are competing with Dortmund to sign Swiss star Manuel Akanji but the baffling fact is that the Reds are prepared to wait for next summer to hire his services when they really need to reinforce the defense now.

The British source have mentioned that the German club want to sign the 22-year-old defender in January, however Basel want to keep him until next summer and Liverpool are prepared to wait.
In such a scenario Independent exclusively claim that Basel would prefer selling the highly rated defender to Liverpool in the summer transfer window.
The Swiss international has been impressive this season. Basel won 4 games in the group stages of the Champions League and Akanji helped the team keep clean sheets in all those contests.
In your opinion, should Liverpool wait for next summer to strengthen their defense or should Klopp splash the cash in winter?

Marek — Wed, 13 Sep 2017 12:11:24 +0000

Jose Mourinho was impressed with the performance of experienced duo Ashley Young and Marouane Fellaini following Manchester United’s 3-0 triumph over FC Basel in the Champions League opener.
Young, 32, started his first United game in four months after overcoming a groin injury which he sustained in the Europa League semi-final against Celta Vigo last season.
The England international provided the assist for Marouane Fellaini’s opener in the first period and featured for the full 90 minutes, but Mourinho was not startled by the showing.
“Young was impressive but not a surprise,” Mourinho said in a news conference (via ESPN). ”

Meanwhile, Fellaini produced a game-changing performance while coming off the bench as he provided a goal and assist on Tuesday night. The Belgian has excelled as a ‘Super Sub’ since the European Super Cup defeat to Real Madrid last month, and Mourinho insists that the midfielder has not put a foot wrong since the 1-1 draw against Everton last term, where he gave a reckless penalty.
“To remember a Fellaini bad performance I have to go back to last season.But in the beginnings, and it was not even a bad performance, it was a naive mistake when he made a penalty in the last minute at Goodison Park. Apart from that, Fellaini contributions to my team are always positive, when he starts, when he’s on the bench. He’s very important,” he added. (via MEN)
United’s focus will now shift to the Premier League game against Everton on Sunday where they will have to cope without the presence of star midfielder Paul Pogba, who suffered an injury against the Swiss side.
