Any new owner of a Premier League club would have to pass the "owners and directors test" there is no chance that a takeover of this size would be done under the radar, no matter what anyones scouse uncle says.
 
I think more likely Chelsea yes.

@Sparky Rhiwabon and others;

What benefit would Liverpool get in tying up a deal for a player with a fixed release clause before announcing a change in ownership?!

I don't think he's Chelsea bound, they haven't finished bidding for every CB in Europe yet.
 
Out of the players we've been linked with Enzo is definitely the most exciting so I hope we do get him

Do we even know there is a release clause? If so, are there conditions attached? Why are clubs already offering over the clause if its that simple? Don’t clubs have to take each other to court to get release clauses enforced?

I'm astounded so many people think this. It's actually laughable.
 
We have £30million in bank but will spend £111million on a CM? Sure.

Yea I don't think we'll be in for him at this price tbh. We already spent too much in the summer and that has almost always means we cut back on spending in the following year.

People saying we're pulling forward the summer spend but I really don't think we'll spend 100m+ even in the summer.

Add to that the complications around the sale of the club, forward being a higher priority etc. and I'd be amazed if we are in for him.
 
Stop living in fantasy land and dumbing down our own ambitions while simultaneously sucking off Liverpool.

There is no way on this God's green earth that a club as fecking large as Liverpool would have a takeover done under the fecking radar and consequently start spending money. It's ridiculous and ludicrous. This is not football manager it's real life. Liverpool being taken over would be public news within minutes.
Not saying they've been sold, just that a deal may be in place and the spend has been sanctioned. Just a rumour, but stranger things have happened. I guess 24 hours ago you'd have sneered at the thought of Gakpo being a Liverpool player today.

Anyway, hopefully none of that is true. Just sharing some of the rumours going round.
 


Basically Madrid and Liverpool are the frontrunners...


His teeth make me feel he's Liverpool bound because then Klopp, Firminho and Enzo can do a Colgate/Oral B sponsorship with those smiles.
 
Martinez, Garnacho and hopefully Enzo…

Argentina!
 
When on when will United get there act together and buy some of this potential direct from source instead of potentially dumping 10x their transfer free for 4 months employment with the likes of benfica. If we did bid which we wont , i would still find it hard to swallow 90m profit on potential to portugal.
Amen. Been mentioning it for years. Do we not have a talent scouting network? We keep having our pants pulled down everytime and we keep repeating the same thing every time.
 
I'm saying that there may not be a release clause, or that there are conditions attached or that it may not be worth the paper it’s written on

True although everyone seems to be reporting there is one and the fee is quite consistent.

Which is why I don’t see the link with their owners and some kind of covert deal.
 
I'm afraid Liverpool will lock down the top 4 if they get him.





If we miss out on Top 4 this year the Glazers are not selling a CL level club. Therefore they wont quite reach the selling price that they want. For that reason I believe we will end up with US based consortium.

I was with you on the first part but clearly the US consortium would be more rational at valuing a non-CL club (and hence not pay the 5-6bn). The sheikhs I assume will give the Glazers the money because of the brand value we carry.

I actually think the opposite. The Sheiks would just be happy to own the club as a plaything. The US consortium would be more interested in the brand and marketing value.
 
I've not seen an engine like his since Vidal honestly, I think he will be a really great player for pressing and progressive passes.

Very impressed with him at the WC, his final performance was a 8-9/10 too.

PL officials literally sold clubs to journalists murderers and an a blood oligarch from Russia(and only kicked him because of government pressure, not because they wanted to).


The test are a joke, El Chapo could buy a club if he bribes enough officials.

EPL / English FA: Do you have the money? Are you planning any wars or acts of terrorism? check complete welcome aboard!

Yes and therefore US consortium will pay less than the sheiks? If you're doing a proper MBA type valuation then a non-CL club is less attractive than one in the CL.

For one they have a clause that prevents leveraged buyouts like what happened with us. A debt free club, one that doesn't act as a trust fund for rich kids on the board of directors (drawing fat comps) and dividends on top is all I want.

A state will want to own a club to sportswash or promote their state for tourism so they'd want the best players IMO, a US consortium would want to turn a profit.
 
We wouldn’t pay 37m for gakpo. We certainly ain’t paying over 100m for this guy. Liverpool’s will probably sign him… they’re desperate for mids.
 
I'm amazed the 120M rumors are still going. There's no way anyone's paying that much for him.
 
I would love this to be true but cant see how it can be given our financial situation. If we had the money - why wouldn’t we be spending it on a striker?
