Liverpool is said to have added Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha to their list of targets.As they look to replace Brazil international Fabinho,
The Premier League heavyweights moved quickly this summer to add Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai for a combined cost of about £95 million.
These additions came after James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain left after their contracts expired.
It appears that Fabinho and Jordan Henderson will sign for Saudi Pro League clubs before the summer transfer window closes, necessitating the addition of additional midfield reinforcements.
According to reports, the two midfielders will soon have medicals before making their respective moves to the Middle East, and Liverpool is expected to receive around £5 million for each of them.
Without a doubt, the Reds would need to replace Fabinho with a specialist defensive midfielder. In recent weeks, they have been associated with Cheick Doucoure and Romeo Lavia of Southampton.
According to The Liverpool Echo, “Liverpool have started the process of identifying Fabinho’s replacement and want a new signing in place before the start of the Premier League season at Chelsea on August 13.”.
The names Lavia and Ryan Gravenberch of Bayern Munich are mentioned as potential targets, but Liverpool has “widened the age profile of potential signings, with Fulham’s 28-year-old Palhinha as a possibility” due to the need for a more immediate solution.
Although it is stated that Liverpool would “ideally prefer a younger player,” Doucoure, the 2022–23 Player of the Year for Crystal Palace, is “among those being considered.”.
Palhinha is attracting interest from West Ham United as they look to replace £105 million newcomer Declan Rice from Arsenal.
The Hammers’ £45 million bid for Palhinha was’rejected’ by Fulham, according to a report in The Guardian published earlier this week.
The report also stated that West Ham was under pressure to spend money after selling Rice, but they were slow to act.
‘Fulham are asking for £80 million for Palhinha, and West Ham are not optimistic about their chances of signing the Portugal international, who thrived after moving to Fulham from Sporting last summer, despite rumors that £50 million might be sufficient.
’.
Meanwhile, according to Football Insider, West Ham’s “near-record” £45 million offer for the center-midfielder has been rejected and Fulham has “warned them about making another move for Palhinha.”.
Lucas Paqueta, who cost £51 million, is currently West Ham’s most expensive acquisition. However, Fulham has “warned them not to waste their time making a new offer” despite Palhinha being their “top target.”.
Palhinha was one of the Premier League’s top signings of the season last summer for Fulham, and his £20 million price tag helped Marco Silva’s team easily stay up.
