After receiving a double injury blow, Jürgen Klopp “wants £46m transfer as quickly as possible” for Liverpool.

News Digest While two players have been ruled out for Fulham, Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp allegedly wants to sign a £46 million forward “as swiftly as feasible.”

According to the Spanish publication Fichajes, Liverpool and Manchester City are trying to acquire Yéremy Pino, a forward for Villarreal, who has a €80 million (£67 million) release clause in his contract.

The young winger, who was sidelined by an ankle injury when Liverpool faced Villarreal in the Champions League last year, has also been linked to moves to Arsenal and Chelsea.

When Roberto Firmino’s contract expires, Liverpool may need to add more players to their attacking lineup, but they won’t be doing so right away.

When they do, spending that much money for a player who has yet to establish himself at the highest level also seems exceedingly improbable. Pino has primarily served as a squad option for Unai Emery up to this moment.

Ibrahima Konaté and Curtis Jones are both expected to miss Liverpool’s opening game of the season against Fulham due to injury absences that have already occurred.

Konaté posted on his Instagram page, “Unfortunately, I have to spend some time off the pitch, but it won’t be too long.” I’ll try my best to bounce back even stronger and assist the boys in the interim.

The Athletic reports that Jones’ calf ailment could keep him out for a month. In the Community Shield match against Manchester City, the midfielder came off the bench, but he didn’t play in the subsequent friendly against Strasbourg at Anfield.

El Nacional reports that Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp wants Julian Ward to make an offer “as soon as feasible” in order to capture Leroy Sané from Bayern Munich.

Sané, who will transfer to Germany for £55 million in 2020, only made 22 starts last season in the Bundesliga but contributed seven goals and seven assists. Now that Robert Lewandowski is gone, Sadio Mané must contend with him as well.

According to the source, Sané would cost €55 million (£46 million) to join this summer. However, if Sané is looking for guaranteed minutes, a transfer to Liverpool is unlikely to provide that, with Luis Daz and Mohamed Salah on either flank.
