Liverpool ready to make offer for Brazilian WONDERKID
The right-winger scored during last week's Recopa Gaucha against Sao Jose - paying tribute to Diogo Jota after his goal. Having steered a calm finish beyond the goalkeeper, Alysson sat cross-legged on the turf and mimed Jota's famous gamer celebration.

And according to prominent Gremio journalist Bruno Soares - as reported by Bolavip - Liverpool are getting ready with a bid.
'Liverpool is closely monitoring Alysson's progress and may submit an official offer in the coming weeks,' a report reads.
'The 19-year-old player has been watched by scouts from the English club, who see him as having promising potential for the future.'
Liverpool want Gremio starlet Alysson
Liverpool are currently well-stocked with first-team options in Alysson's preferred position. And the report adds that the winger could instead be placed with the club's underage sector or else loaned out to another European club until he establishes himself.

'The striker can play both on the wings and centrally, a trait that appeals to European clubs,' the report states.
'At Liverpool, he would be seen as a medium-term option, potentially joining the under-23 squad initially or being loaned out to adapt to European football.'
Alysson's reported $60m release clause
Homegrown Alysson first signed a pro deal with Gremio back in 2022. That contract included a $40m release clause. His deal was improved last year - tying him to the club until 2028 - and the release clause went up to $60m.

Richard Hughes' plan to sign £130m Alexander Isak falling PERFECTLY into place
Liverpool are pressing on with their plans to sign Alexander Isak. The Swedish striker has not travelled with Newcastle for their preseason tour to Asia - waiting behind with what has been officially described as a minor thigh injury. Isak, 25, has made it known that he does NOT wish to sign a contract extension at St. James' Park - and would prefer to discuss a transfer away from the club as soon as possible. LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now That is music to Liverpool's ears - with the Anfield club well placed to make a British record bid for the Sweden international. The Reds have already landed Hugo Ekitike - Newcastle's desired transfer target - and both could have a part to play under Arne Slot next season. Liverpool make their Isak approach Liverpool were first reported to have made an approach for Isak earlier this month but Newcastle at that stage remained steadfast in their refusal to do a deal. The focus back then was for Isak to sign a new contract - with his current deal expiring in 2028. Isak earns around £120k per week - far beneath his market value - and his new demands have been quoted at £300k per week. Newcastle couldn't facilitate those wages - even if Isak wanted to stay - and so a parting of the ways appears inevitable. The Magpies do not want to be stuck with an unhappy player on their hands and a bid of around £130m could help them restock others areas in the squad during what has been a washout of a transfer window. This is playing out EXACTLY as Liverpool want it to It is clear that Isak has been unsettled by the speculation and the best result for all concerned would be a quick resolution for a move to Merseyside. And the situation is developing nicely in Liverpool's favour, according to a new report in Rousing The Kop. 'Did Liverpool know he wanted to leave when they made their approach earlier this month? Quite possibly,' a report reads. 'It's going to be very hard for Newcastle to keep him now, it really is. The way this is playing out is exactly how Liverpool wanted it to.' © IMAGO - Richard Hughes Liverpool 2024-25

Carvalho feeling 'fresh' ahead of new season
Fábio Carvalho said that he is feeling "fresh" and ready to make an impact for Brentford next season. But now back fully fit, the former Liverpool man knows exactly what he has to do to impress new Bees head coach Keith Andrews and contribute for the west Londoners. "I feel good, mentally and physically. I feel fresh," he explained. "I think the injury came at the right time. Then, it didn't feel like it, but I'm glad I had the surgery when I did. "I'm excited [about pre-season] to get some more minutes in the tank and be able to get out there and play with a smile on my face, which is what the gaffer wants me to do. "That, along with the principles he wants us to implement: intensity, counter-press, and everything else that will get us to where we need to be." 'I'm excited to get some more minutes in the tank and be able to get out there and play with a smile on my face, which is what the gaffer wants me to do' On next season, he added: "I'm just taking each day as it comes. I want to be able to play as many games and get as many goal contributions as possible. "I'm going to have to work hard because the competition is high here, which is what I want, because that brings the best out of me." Discussing the club's pre-season training camp in Portugal, the country where he was born and grew up, he went on to say: "It's been good: good food, good weather, good people. There's nothing more to ask for. "It's been tough, especially the days we've had double sessions. The first day we had a double session, I woke up in between sessions, and I didn't even know where I was! "The new coaches have been great - full of energy, fresh ideas, and they're excited to help everyone here."

Bayern Munich resume talks with Liverpool over Luis Diaz deal
Bayern Munich have resumed talks with Liverpool over a deal for forward Luis Diaz. The Bavarian club are yet to submit a second bid for the Colombian winger but remain keen on a deal, and are now in regular dialogue with Liverpool. The Athletic reported on July 15 that Liverpool had rejected an offer worth €67.5million (£58.6m; $78.8m) from Bayern for Diaz, who has made it clear that he wants to leave the Anfield club. Advertisement Diaz's Liverpool contract is set to expire in the summer of 2027. He has trained as usual in Hong Kong this week as Liverpool prepare for Saturday's friendly against AC Milan, but did not feature in their pre-season games against Preston North End or Stoke City last week. Bayern have been in the market for a forward this summer but have missed out on several targets. The Bundesliga champions' primary target Florian Wirtz chose to move to Liverpool, while Spain international winger Nico Williams opted to renew his contract with Athletic Club. The Athletic reported on July 9 that Bayern had enquired about signing RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons. Bayern admire Diaz's versatile and regard him as a forward who can play different roles across the front line. Diaz joined Liverpool from Porto in January 2022 for an initial fee of £37.5m, with the deal potentially rising to £50m with add-ons. He has made 148 appearances for the club, scoring 41 goals and providing 23 assists in all competitions. Diaz played a key role under Arne Slot during Liverpool's 2024-25 Premier League title-winning campaign, scoring 13 top-flight goals in 36 appearances.
