€78m deal is Liverpool's DREAM come true

Liverpool are set to strike a €78m deal. It's a dream come true and exactly what the Reds needed. Liverpool have found a few deals this summer that are still incredible to think about. Florian Wirtz's record-breaking arrival remains the peak, of course. LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now Wirtz cost Liverpool more than any other player in their history, arriving for around £100m guaranteed. That could well rise to a British transfer record if add-ons are met. The Jeremie Frimpong deal feels like a steal, too. He's joined for under £30m and fixes a few problems in the squad. One of those problems was created by Trent Alexander-Arnold leaving for Real Madrid. Still, Liverpool turned that into a remarkable deal - £10m for a player who wouldn't actually play for the club again. Jarell Quansah joined Bayer Leverkusen for a sizeable fee in another brilliant deal. Liverpool retain a buyback clause for the defender so if he does reach his remarkable potential, the Reds can buy him back. Everything has been going Liverpool's way this summer, then. And now another deal can be added to that list. Liverpool to strike Luis Diaz deal Fabrizio Romano is one of many saying that a deal between Liverpool and Bayern Munich for Luis Diaz is now close. He says this one's at the final stages, with only details being sorted. Now, Romano claims the fee here is around €75m. Sky Sports suggest it's slightly higher at around €78m. And this is a fantastic deal for Liverpool. It's a large fee - one of the largest received for a Red - and it's for someone approaching 29 with two years remaining on his contract. Diaz wasn't going to sign a new deal, either, after negotiations broke down. His asking price would have plummeted in a year as a result of that - Liverpool needed to get this one done now.

Chloe Kelly thanks her doubters after firing England to Euro 2025 glory

Chloe Kelly has thanked everyone that wrote her off for giving her the fuel to fire England to European glory. Kelly was England's hero on Sunday night, scoring the winning penalty as they beat Spain to win Euro 2025. It capped off a remarkable six months for the winger, who forced through a move away from Manchester City to Arsenal in January due to a lack of game time. Kelly has since admitted she was going through some 'dark moments', but she has turned her year around. The winger won the Women's Champions League with Arsenal and now has added European success with England to that. Tough times don't last, just around the corner was a Champions League final. I won that and now won a Euros final Chloe Kelly 'There were a lot of tears at full-time, especially when I saw my family, because they were the people that come me through those dark moments,' said Kelly. 'I am so grateful to be out at the back end, but if that's a story to tell someone who maybe experiences something the same, then tough times don't last and just around the corner was a Champions League final. I won that and now a Euros final, I've won that. 'So, thank you to everyone that wrote me off, I'm grateful.' Kelly has also thanked England head coach Sarina Wiegman for helping her turn her season around. Wiegman kept faith in Kelly during her 'dark moments' and the winger stressed how pivotal she was to her success. 'She is bloody amazing,' said Kelly. 'She is an incredible women. What she has done for this country, we should all be so grateful for. 'What she has done for me, individually, she gave me hope, when I probably didn't have any. She gave me an opportunity to represent my country again. I knew that I had to get game time, because representing England is never a given. 'But what she has done for the women's game, not just in England, she has taken it to a whole other level. 'The work doesn't go unnoticed from the staff that are behind her, they are incredible. people and I am so grateful to have worked with such amazing staff members.'
